I went here for a concert I found on this website called do502 (if you don’t know now ya know). The venue was a little crowded as far as space but it wouldn’t have been as great if it wasn’t. Very organized but down to earth staff. Oh, they have video games. like an arcade, that was cool! Nice little eatery that opened up to a quaint little music venue. I dig it and will go back for more cool things or just to eat and play games! Diamond in the rough!
Great bar for the middle aged crowd. Super-friendly staff, great food, excellent beer selection with lots of local brews. Has a large outdoor seating area with a nice view of the street and part of the outdoor area has seating and tables where smokers can hang. The local ballgame was on. There was an excellent band with a great sound guy. If you're from Louisville or just visiting. I give Zanzabar 100% endorsement.
This was a fun place that has a side room with arcade games, a main bar area, and 2 patio seating areas with my favorite being along the street. If you are feeling brave, I recommend step outside onto their street patio and pull up a chair facing the road. Then take a drink each time a car doesn't stop at the stop sign. You will fly through your drink and have lots of laughs. Beer was nice and cold.
This place has been around for a long time serving cold drinks and pub food. I just went for the experience and a drink. It’s a cool bar with a nice patio and some cool, old school pinball machines. The service was attentive and friendly. They have live music too if that’s your thing. Regardless, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Staff were awesome and quick to check people in for the event. Awesome little venue to come to see some smaller artist! Loved coming out to see MICO!
Went as a group for a musical venue, we all had a good time. Staff at the entrance were cool and friendly. Our drinks were good. Food was absolutely delicious, definitely try some of their food if you go. Sound systems for the music were good. Only complaint is that the women's restroom was difficult for me to use (disabled), my other female party member mentioned that it was difficult for her to comfortably use too though. Our male party members said their restrooms were comfortable and they had fun "aim games" for the men lol. So yeah only complaint is that the women's restroom was boring compared to the men's and tiny stalls. We'll be back here some day for sure, had an overall great time.
Nifty little dive bar / intimate concert venue that's full of quirky personality and charm! Great food and friendly staff, but my favorite part was watching John Morgan perform! 🫶🎸
