We stopped in here quite literally by accident while taking in the sites. Close to two major landmarks. Great service by Marcus our server, had great menu recommendations, friendly knowledgeable about the area and history. Our first time trying the famous Hot Brown, and Marcus recommendation of the Derby Pie. Great hot fresh food, everything was amazing. Highly recommend 10/10.

I’m reviewing this before I even leave the restaurant because it was THAT good of an experience. First of all, the location is so convenient and around tons of Louisville attractions. It’s super classy on the inside but not dressy enough that you need to wear a suit and tie to feel comfortable. We had the green chile wontons as an appetizer – no notes, simply perfect, so yummy. My brother and I both had the Woodford Reserve Bacon Grilled Cheese as our entrees (mine with kettle chips and his with fries). Absolutely delicious and just so satisfying – especially the kettle chips, which had the perfect crunch. Our server, Cory, was also so attentive and kind and regularly checked in to make sure we were doing okay. I definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area and looking for a bite!

4’s all around. Not a bad place, everything was fine, but room for some improvement. Biggest issue I had was there was some gnats in our area. They had a $5 all day special for Old Fashions. Some of our group were excited about that. I ordered the Hot Brown and it was okay. Again, good, fine, swell. Also tried their grilled cheese, that was also good. Oh, also tried the pesto chicken pasta. All of the food seemed good. Worth giving it a shot. I’m guessing the gnats were not an issue throughout or all the time. Btw, the picture is half of the grilled cheese and Hot Brown that I shared w my sister, not a menu option. Also, i would say if you get the Hot Brown, order an appetizer or salad since the portion seems small.

Visiting from SC. Close to the Louisville slugger factory. This was a hard choice. The menu isn’t large but what they have on it looks so good. I chose the special with grouper today for only $12! Our table also had the salmon, pesto pasta and child’s chicken finger. All of it was delicious!

Bristol Bar & Grill — Downtown Louisville Shoutout
If you haven’t been to the Bristol in downtown Louisville lately, you’re missing out on some seriously good food.
We started with the legendary green chili wontons — crispy, addictive, and the kind of appetizer you pretend to “share” but absolutely do not.
The Teriyaki Salmon with vegetables was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the kind of dish that makes you consider becoming a better person. And the pork chop with greens was outstanding. Tender, juicy, and big enough to make you question your life choices in the best possible way.
Finished the meal with a café latte and an Old Fashioned, because balance comes in many forms.
Bristol downtown is still delivering the goods. Highly recommend for a night out, a date night, or anytime you want food that simply makes you happy to be alive.

A very nice place to eat. We stopped in to try the famous Louisville Hot Brown. It did not disappoint. The thick cuts of turkey were tender and flavorful. The sauce was also very good. The Derby pie was still warm when served and has a delicious flavor. The wait staff was friendly and it is in a great location.

Went for a girl’s night out here, and it was definitely a good decision.
The food was phenomenal! I had the Thai chicken linguine, It was so savory, with mild sweetness.
My only real problem was the drink prices, for tiny glasses. My friend got the special of the day which was $5, And her glass was three times the size of my glass for $14. My drink was delicious, but still.. felt it wasn’t worth the ticket.

Popped into Bristol Bar and Grille for lunch as soon as we hit Louisville for a weekend trip and it was such a nice surprise! Started off with some local Louisville Goodwood Lager and grabbed a few of their Friday Old Fashioned specials. The drinks really hit the spot and got the vibes going
For lunch, we went with the Bristol Burgers cooked medium and loaded with toppings. They serve them on English Muffins, which was new for us, but super tasty and packed with flavor! Some of the others tried the club and fish sandwiches, and they couldn’t stop talking about how they were the best they’ve had in years
Definitely a great spot for a quick, quality meal. The service by Kiesence was super friendly and fast, prices were fair, and we totally recommend checking it out!

We’ve dined here often. Tonight was disappointing. We waited to be checked in despite reservations. Dinner salad was a couple of sprigs of lettuce. More like garnish. I have gluten allergy but was served gluten chips. Promised but never received broccoli. Long, long wait for entree. Negative attitude from wait staff when we asked when we’d get food. We had a play to get to. Not sure what the problem was. Hope they improve.

I spoke with a manager at their invitation. He was very helpful and listened to my concerns. He apologized and offered to send a gift card to us to make up for the problems we had at previous dinners. I appreciate the managers responsiveness. I will share info on our next visit.

The dining area was very quiet during lunch hours but the staff and service were very kind and accommodating to everyone in the building. I wasn’t expecting much since we stopped in for a quick lunch. However, I was taken aback by the richness and complex flavors found in the sweet chili linguini. The sweetness is quite rich at first, but combining it with a bite of the savory blackened chicken and the tangy pickled cabbage makes for a heavy and complex flavor profile. It is quite heavy on the stomach, but it is certainly worth it. The black cherry Manhattan was white delicate and balanced with just enough sweetness and little to no ethanol bite that made for a versatile sipping experience worth taking home to replicate. I’d be curious to see how well their dinner service is based solely on how pleasantly surprising the lunch experience was.
