The restaurant had a very nice feel, and the food was delicious! I preferred the Hangover-Easy Burger, and it was so good! The service was nice too; the servers were really kind and helpful! I hope to come again! #blindsquirrelrestaurant #blindsquirrel #buzzybooth read more

3.5 overall. After the last visit, I had taken Blind Squirrel out of the meal rotation. I found myself back with coworkers, both local and form out of town. We came in time for happy hour and didn't have an issue getting a large patio table in the shade, plus one of each of the promoted appetizers. Those items were probably my favorite - the pretzels with beer cheese, the wings, and queso with chips. I spotted a couple of friends, ordering the fish and fries. Several others, including myself, ordered pizza. I opted for the hand tossed pepperoni pizza with hot honey. I'm quite wimpy when it comes to spice and this was not overly hot for me. Blind Squirrel continues to shine for its patio dining, beers, volleyball courts, and live bands. However, the food is only average and not a place that I would recommend for meals. read more

We were here last night for a networking event. They had us in a private room upstairs which was great. We had our own bartender and a buffet set up for everyone. Some of the buffet items were Tortilla Chips, Queso, Guac, Ground Beef, Dry Rub Bone In Wings, Pulled Pork, and Pretzel Sticks with Housemade Beer Cheese. Everything I tried was delicious. The Wings were my favorite. read more

The Blind Squirrel is always a great place to go to whether it's for drinks, dinner, a lovely day to sit on the patio, sand volley ball, live music, sports, private events and more.... they really have it all. Me and a friend stopped in Wednesday night just to catch up. It wasn't busy and were sat right away. Our server Bethany noticed us almost immediately and come over to introduce herself and went over the Happy Hour options which are Monday - Friday 3-6. $6 small plates and drink specials. We took advantage of 1/2 price bottles of wine and got the Chips and Queso. We just sat and chatted and for a while. Bethany was very friendly and checked on us regularly. I have been there several times and I've always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I'm looking forward to patio season and visiting again soon! read more

We came for a Saturday lunch and had a great experience. We were greeted and seated quickly. The place is open and airy. They sometimes have live music, but that is not usually a lunch thing. The food is casual dining and pub fair. We were a party of 6 and everyone had good things to say about the food quality. Average entrees were 17-20 dollars. The refills on drinks were a tad bit slow, but that was a minor thing. Overall, we had a great experience and will be coming back. read more

We visited on a Sunday evening and were able to find both parking and a table right away, which made for a relaxed start. The nachos were generous in portion, perfect for sharing, and tasted great.

We came here for NYE. It was a fun night. For $20 we got "$500" in gaming chips. We could exchange each $100 chip for. Raffle ticket. We got there about 7:05 and the doors opened at 7. We had to wait outside in the freezing cold for about $20 while they checked people in. I'm not sure why it took so long but it did. We were sat and got a table as soon as we paid our $20 cover charge. We ordered drinks and food pretty quickly. The food was ok. I got the buffalo chicken wrap. It could have used more buffalo sauce, but it was otherwise good. My husband got a burger. It looked much better than it tasted. The meat was just lacking seasoning. If they would have properly seasoned the meat it would have been great. The beers were good, but expensive. The draft beers were between $10-$13. The $10 mixed drink "buckets" were tasty and worth their price however. I'm not a fan of Elvis music but the Elvis they had doing the live entertainment was pretty good. We had fun with the "gambling". They had roulette and black jack, but only 2 tables of each so they were a little crowded. We ended up playing roulette and I found out I quietly enjoy playing it. They abruptly ended the gambling portion at 11 but no one knew they were stopping at 11 until they stopped so we were all a little disappointed. Overall, it was a fun time and we will probably come back. read more

2/11/2026 We took 13 of our Swan Pointe HOA Residents to Blind Squirrel for dinner. In case you're not familiar with Blind Squirrel, it's a popular American Restaurant and Sports Bar known for its large outdoor patio, sand volleyball courts, live music and extensive bar with bourbon and beers. I'm thinking that about 9 of our party of 13 had Fish and Chips. It came with 2-3 pieces of fish, a small portion of Coke Slaw, 3 Hush Puppies and another side of your choice. My husband chose Onion Rings. ( they were really good with no grease.) I had 3 Mini Cheeseburger Sliders and I was able to choose a side. There are free sides and premium sides for $2.00 more. Other selections that were available was Burgers, Pizza and Appetizers. Our server, Misty was fabulous and did a great job taking care of all of us. Our food was brought out very quickly considering how many of us there was. She was so friendly and was one of the best servers ever! We'd love to have Misty again. Their GM, Rod Young wasn't there that night, but he has certainly trained an excellent staff. There was a big crowd last night but the noise volume was around medium. We had a great time and enjoyed our food! Go stop by and see the restaurant for yourself. Robyn read more

What a great venue! The atmosphere will capture anyone who appreciates music. The spacious venue, perfect for small and large gatherings with many large screen monitors. The food recipes were very good and promptly served. The wait staff were prompt and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant/pub. Thank you! read more

Blind Squirrel offers decent bar food with an amazing patio, volleyball court, and upper deck. Unfortunately its service team struggles to make the experience anything other than mediocre. We walked in on a Friday night, busy as expected --no issues there, but we almost left twice. The wait time told to us was surpassed by twenty minutes, this was okay as we had drinks from the bar and felt that if we finished our drinks before being seated then we could leave. We got sat before then, okay so after being sat we didn't get a server until another 15-20 minutes! We said again if we finished our drinks our drinks before they come to us we would leave. Right in the nick of time a server came. She admitted to not seeing us and tried to get our complete order then and there. The food comes, the mozzarella moins were good. The burgers we also good. Each ingredient individually was meh, but together created a good flavorful taste with each bite. Big fan of the twister fries, I would highly recommend getting twister fries over their regular fries. I am not sure if we will go back, but if I do I truly hope for a better experience. I was so focused on the service I don't think I truly enjoyed my food. read more

Great food! Great wait staff! Ate outside, watched volleyball while listening to Trivia Night! Fun place!

This place has a ton to offer in terms of space, entertainment and group events. However the food is not their standout draw here. If you are looking for a louder more bar type environment this is your place! But if you're looking for a quiet sit down I would not recommend. However service is always a 10/10! read more

Blind Squirrel is such a hidden gem and may be the coolest sports bar/complex in Louisville. The food was typical bar food, though where Blind Squirrel really shines is the ambiance/facilities. It's such a large space with room for a wide variety of events. The outdoor patio and volleyball space is second-to-none. read more

The food was good, I did not like the club that I got but the beer cheese and pretzels were warm and nice. Service was very attentive and friendly. Ambiance was a little concert going on, pretty loud if you show up during. I'd keep that in mind. read more

Not our first time, but certainly our last. We were seated promptly outside by the hostess. But then waited...and waited...and waited. With a TODDLER. We were passed by not 1 but 3 different servers. Helped every table around us, including 2 tables that were sat after us. One lady wasn't even eating, she just had her iced tea at a table and even had a server put up her umbrella for her. I just wanted to have a cocktail and lunch on a nice patio with my family. But apparently that is too hard for them to manage. We just got up and left and went elsewhere. read more

This is my go to for watching sports. There are plenty of TVs and lots of seating - a restaurant-like area, bar seats, and a room with bar tables. They have a great variety of food- including healthier options - and the quantity and quality are good for the price. Thinking about it makes me hungry for their nachos! Not fancy but clean and comfortable. read more

10/10 every single time at The Blind Squirrel The food is absolutely top tier--everything we've had has been fresh, flavorful, and hits every time. You can tell they actually care about what they're putting out, and it shows. And the service? Just as good. Super attentive, friendly, and keeps the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Whether you're going for a casual night out or meeting up with friends, this spot delivers every time. Definitely one of our go-to places in Louisville! read more

Sat at the bar for drinks. Be aware they now charge a 3% service fee if you pay using a card. Another way to make more money - and don't tell me this is "common practice" because I eat out frequently and can't name three other places that do this. read more

This is a must stop when in the area. Kid friendly. Food was tasty. Service is fast and employees friendly. Ashley H was our server and was fantastic. Band was about to play and we just caught the warm up but they sounded great. We had a party of 14- 3 families. Ashley didn't miss a beat. Was friendly and patient with the kids and answered our out of towners questions on the menu. Highly recommend!! read more

It had been a long while, years in fact, since I had been to The Blind Squirrel. (We live in Bardstown now and down get that way often.) We had our daughter's fiancé's family here from out of town and he, the fiancé, and my daugher wanted to go there. My previous review mentioned the bad service, with incorrect orders, long waits, etc. The service was once again disappointing and I found out the hot brown is no longer on the menu. Apparently it was being sent back quite a bit so they just removed it. I always enjoyed it and never had issues with it. That and the quality of service sort of sealed the deal for us. My daughter will be living close to this place when she gets married in a few weeks, but the chances of going back here are very slim. read more

What a fun place in the summer time, great Happy Hour drinks and menu, good food and very friendly staff. I sure like the place, lots of good parking and never a wait. read more

Blind Squirrel is always one of our go to spots in Middletown. The food is always delicious and service is wonderful. Most recently I ordered a pizza for the first time and boy oh boy was it delicious. Next time I would like to try the thin crust. My only minor complaint is that it's not dog friendly. They have such a nice outdoor area and we were turned away over the summer due to having our dog with us. read more

Our family was hosting a surprise party. The space was upstairs with our own personal bartender and bar with access to an amazing deck. The catered food they provided was also quite good! The beef tenderloin was so tender, and the pretzels and beer cheese is some of the best in town! Our guests raved about everything! read more

Why is no one talking about the cheese curds? The location is great, indoor and out. Just a great sport/summer bar set up. The steakhouse salad was a 10. Big chunks of well cooked steak, loads of topping. But the hidden star were the Fried Cheese curds. Pillowy little cubes of hot cheesy goodness. So yes, grab lunch, watch a game, grab a beer... but definitely order some cheese curds. read more

Went for appetizers and football...wings were fantastic and super crunchy, beer was cold and the chili was a little underwhelming...tasted sweet and unmarried, won't get that again but as always the other items made up for my disappointment and the atmosphere/service was typical, very good!!! read more

Lunch at the Blind Squirrel is always fantastic! Today, my husband and I visited and had lunch on the patio. The ambience was beautiful and clean, our waitress was friendly and attentive as per usual. I don't believe we've ever received poor service here. I had the fish and chips with a side of Texas toast and the twister fries, while my husband tried the Italian sub which he said was very delicious and mentioned he would definitely be getting it again. I also noticed they have a few brunch items on menu I hadn't noticed before. The blind squirrel has never let us down. read more

I was torn on this one and really would like to give 3.5 stars... so I'm leveling up instead of down. Preface - in the area looking for a cool place to eat. Find this online. Advertised live music, sports activities and the food looked good. Looked like a perfect vibe for my friend and I. Unfortunately when we arrived it wasn't quite all that we thought it would be... It was a Saturday night, but no live music. Sadly it was the only Sat night of the month that nothing had been scheduled. They have volleypits outside that you can sometimes watch but nothing going on when we were here... so basically it was just a regular sports bar. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. It came out, the fries were hard and cold... When the waitress stopped by I shared this with her and she had me a HUGE replacement basket in about 2 mins. Thank you! My chicken sandwich was very tasty and their ranch is top notch! Definitely tastes homemade and they are very giving with it, no upcharge. Loved that. Service was excellent. Overall just wasn't the cool vibe we thought it would be. read more

First time visiting Blind Squirrel and we'll be back! Waitress was friendly and attentive, food was VERY tasty, and the GM was kind enough to share a little history with us and offered to show us their space for private gatherings along with a few deets about what takes place on the property at different times of the year. Sand volleyball is huge here! Great place for lunch or dinner with friends/family groups of all sizes or date night or just a short meet up. Nice place, reasonably priced, and the selfie spot is a fun addition! #blindsquirrelrestaurant #blindsquirrel #buzzybooth read more

The meat lovers is excellent. The service is phenomenal. Can't miss. CC is the best.

Courteous and timely service. Food and choices of food were good. Good vibe! #blindsquirrelrestaurant #blindsquirrel #buzzybooth

Large dining area and there were many outside activities that families/groups could enjoy. There is usually live music on Saturday nights, but not the night we visited. The pork I ordered was slightly warm but had good flavor as did the creamy Cole slaw on top. The sprouts were warmer in the bottom of the bowl. Our food may have sat a bit before being delivered to the table. If I visit the area again I would try this restaurant again. Our waitress was informative and gave honest opinions of the items we asked about and gave suggestions as well. read more

Not only is this one of the only decent restaurants in the area open late, it has such great food! It was super crowded so they went to open seating. We were able to find a table outside in their beautiful patio/back area. It's a very relaxing and safe environment to be in, in my opinion which is super important! The server we had was so busy but still managed to deliver wonderful service with a smile and sweet attitude. I wish I remembered her name to give her a shoutout. recommend this establishment for people who want to avoid "the bar scene" but still have good drinks, good food, and good music. read more
