I love Work the Metal. I especially like the fact that they have a variety of price points as I find it disappointing when I love a store and cant afford anything. I recently purchased my 11 year old niece niece earrings with her initials, a shiny umbrella, and a purse (all of which she loved.) Its a fun place, even if you just want to browse!

Every single time I walk in to Work the Metal, I find a unique gift for a loved one, one of my kids, friends, or myself. Items for the home, holidays, kiddos- a diverse set of books!- kitchen, and bar.

LOVED everything about this place! Everything was so cute and reasonably priced! The Wine Bar in the back was a hidden gem. Jennifer was the kindest and most welcoming person. Had so many recommendations on where to visit in town. She was the best!!

This is the best, most unique store in all of Louisville. I tell all of my out of town friends (and the locals) to visit here! Its a great place to get a gift or something original for yourself. Store is in a cute warehouse in Butchertown, with multiple shops inside. EXCELLENT jewelry thats sturdy, adorable, and affordable. Home decor, clothing, and kids section as well. Staff is beyond friendly and wraps your gift in a cute box, tissue paper, and bow.

Delicious Coffee, sodas, bottled water and EVEN a variety of wine!!! Whats better than. Shopping with a glass of wine in one hand?You can literally spend hours here. Very pleasant and friendly staff. Wonderful historic building. Highly recommend. Great experience. I was very pleasantly surprised by this place and will definitely be back.

We LOVE Work the Metal! Have loved it since they first opened... If you shop there for the first time, it won’t be your last👍😃! During holiday season, it’s like Grand Central - but nobody minds!! Even the customers become delightful people at Work the Metal!

Review №25

Place had a lot to look at, from the crazy oven mitts to the cool light switch plates to the locally made candles. I thought it was a bit pricey, but the offered items were definitely not your run of the mill gifts. I thoroughly enjoyed just perusing and even found 3 gifts that I just had to buy for some friends! I will definitely be back when I have a hard to shop for person on my gift list!!

Working with Mary over the phone was easy and fun. She helped me find great gifts for some friends remotely, sending me pictures of selections. Curb-side pick-up was quick and easy...not the same as shopping in this wonderful store, but a great way to continue supporting WTM during Covid-19. I highly recommend WTM!

This is my go to shopping location. If you need a host/hostess gift. If you need a birthday gift. If you need a Im sorry gift. Head on down to WTM! They have everything from baby items to clothing, jewelry & home decor. AND on Saturdays you can shop while imbibing on $1 mimosas! Its just a fun place to shop.

Love this place, the concept, and their unique boutique items - BUT my major complaint is that they arent open on Sundays! I am originally from Michigan and every time I have family/friends visiting over the weekend I want to take them here before they leave but every time I am re-disappointed when I remember they are closed on Sundays. I could have brought them a ton of business by now for all the times this has happened! I do really love the store though, which is why I always want to introduce people to it.

I love the unique finds in this store. The thing I hate is the client service. Staff is not super friendly, and you are not always greeted with a smile. If the service standard improves, it could easily be a five star rating.

This is a great place with lots of different and unique items. I was expecting wrought iron things but was clearly wrong! Lots of creative and unique cute Nick Nack items. Also has a large selection of ladies clothes and a wine bar with $1 mimosas on Saturday. Cosmetic and candies round out an amazing selection of speciality items.

Oh my gaaaasssshhhh!!!!!!!! This place is my dream! I refuse to buy from anywhere else! It’s local... it unique... it’s quality..... and very fair priced!!!! This is the most amazing place and the workers are so happy and so friendly it makes me want to ask for a job! I love it here! Jack is amazing and is always so helpful, if I ever ask for help he drops what he is doing and helps me!! It’s amazing! I love it here and the fact that this place is rated less that 5 stars baffles me and those people should be kicked off the internet!

Pretty neat store that my girlfriend dragged me too, heavily female biased though, but still has some great and diverse offerings. Didnt dread it as much as most stores she takes me to, plenty to still look at and fill your time while she buys ridiculous stuff that has no function.
