We have lived down the street for almost a year now and finally decided to stop in for some food.
And let me tell you, my fiance and I were blown away with how good the food was. I honestly expected just some average bar food, but it far surpassed our expectations. The service was great and everyone was so friendly as well. Very clean environment and an overall great experience. We will absolutely be going back! 10/10 recommend.

This place is great for gathering with friends or family when in the Highlands. The atmosphere is good and the staff is friendly. The drinks are prepared well (good bartending). I wouldn’t call it world-renowned food but this is good pub fare for me (my wife went with me and wasn’t happy but I enjoyed what I ate). They always work to keep the place interesting with lots of events always going on – too numerous to mention, just check their schedule, you are sure to find something going on. I forgot to get a picture of the back deck but go up the steps at the rear if it is evening or cooler out and you feel like eating or drinking outside.

OUT OF TOWN REVIEW –
While traveling down to Tennessee from Ohio our party stopped in Louisville for dinner. We weren’t prepared to find this gem ! The first thing we noticed was the tight knit welcoming vibe as you walked in. The two young gentlemen behind the bar (possibly brothers ?) were super welcoming. The menu was unique and fun . The food was amazing. The tots were crisp, burgers juicy and melt in your mouth , they have a chocolate milk drink that will have you wanting more. All the community events were posted leaving us all agreeing we’d have to stop back up on the trip home. On our second trip stopping back we actually got to see some classical music playing love which was incredible . The food held the same amazing standard. The whole vibe was amazing and felt like setting out of a movie. Definitely the place to stop if you’re passing thru !

Update: 2.21.19 – This was a 1 star review until today. After then owner contacted me and was gracious enough to provide me with a gift card for a second try, I figured there was nothing to lose. I must have visited this place last time on a bad night because the restaurant that I went to today is 100% different from last time. The food was amazing! This time around I had the Loin-ee-pops to start, they where tender and juicy and delightful. I didn’t think they where worth the $10 but definitely something to try. I had the Ruben and my boyfriend had the fish sandwich, they where tasty. The Ruben was perfectly sliced and the house made thousand island dressing was on point and the fish was fried to perfection. I will be back!

Boy do I hate giving 1 stars but sadly sometimes you just have to. I ordered the black bean burgers and I have to say it was one of the worst I have ever had. I was eating refried beans on a bun with lettuce and onion. There was no flavor and it was mushy beyond belief. My best friend ordered a penne and sausage dish that had more salt than the ocean and was accompanied by a sad portion of sausage. I guess the only good thing was my best friend said her Manhattan had a heavy pour and tasted delicious.

My daughter suggested we try this spot. The food was excellent as well as the service. We had the soft pretzel sticks and cheese. Super tasty! My mom and daughter both had the Mac and cheese. It was really good. I had the Reuben, which was amazing. The tots were amazing as well. I got two non tot eaters to share them with. I think they would have stole them they are that good . The tots were super crispy and salted just right. We will definitely be back again. Thank you from three fellow Kentuckians.

Always a good time and a good meal here! We had the Pasta Diablo extra spicy with sausage, and the Fajita Nachos. So yummy!

Nice venue and a fun Christmas performance with Patrick Fitzpatrick. The food was appetizing as well, but the room was very chilly on a cold winter night.

Interesting place for the right person. Went in to grab a beer and maybe some college football. Instead had a few drinks and watched a Disney movie. Prices were decent and drinks were strong.

Good food, incredible environment. I got to enjoy a live string quartet while drinking beer and eating a burger. Great spot for a date night or a relaxing night out.
