Went in for Bourbon & a bite. The food here is absolutely delicious. Every dish was well seasoned, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. Portions were generous without sacrificing quality. You can tell care goes into every plate. Highly recommend! read more

A great place to stop for appetizers and or a meal before or after and event at the Yum Center. The only down fall is they closed at 11 on Friday night. This place needs to stay open later on the weekend due to the great location. If you like cauliflower, the buffalo cauliflower is a MUST try. Its are lightly battered/fried with a side of buffalo sauce to add as much spice to your liking. read more

BBC is known entity in Louisville. This is one of their locations at 3rd and main. It has a bar feel on the first floor, and with their many TV screens, you can watch any sporting events while enjoying your drink and your meal. The service was kind. Unfortunately, as a vegetarian my options were limited to a stir Fry dish or a few of the appetizers. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. Love the space, would be happy to go back and enjoy a drink. read more

OH MY GOD BECKY THEY HAVE KY BOURBON BARREL ALE STOUT ON TAP!!! My husband got there before me and I guess the waitress read him the beer on tap and he KNEW that's all I would have wanted to drink. I love that man! I was so happy to walk in and enjoy my beer on a hot evening before going to a concert at the Mercury ballroom for yelp elites. Our server was interesting and weird and that worked for us. I can't remember her name... sorry. We got burgers and sides. I got mac n cheese. It was creamy and cheesey with lots of flavors of cheese, I am a bit like Wallace (of wallace and grommet) and adore my cheeses! I will be back anytime we go to a concert or play and throughly drink more beer and enjoy the company of my hubby and or with friends! The BBC never seems to disappoint ever!! read more

Food is really good. Went there for a business meeting. Really good place to go grab drinks and have a good time with friends.

Dungeony vibe and four fried foods menu that's super basic. The beer was ok and we got a good root beer ok but passed on the menu.

They have great service, but I'm not a big fan of their food. Great place to grab a bite to eat or to kill time before an event at the Yum center. Especially since it's within walking distance. read more

This review is for the BBC Loft, the event venue on the 3rd floor. I recently rented it again for a work event and highly recommend it. We worked with Lisa G, their event planner. Because we had rescheduled our event dates, she provides me with all the details I needed to make a quick decision. There is a room rental fee, but it's reasonable and includes the set-up and fresh flowers. The menu is straight forward, offering 1-3 entrees and various sides. Salad and/or dessert can be added to the menu, and you can bring in your own dessert (and for a small fee, they'll cut up and serve this too). I love the private bar and they take credit card! Cash bars are the worst for events. We had a sponsor for cocktail hour and Lisa made sure to manage the timing and charges for us. My team raved about everything - the food, the vibe, the bartenders, the lounge area (couches you'll never want to leave) .. it got a bit warm with our group, but Lisa did her best to keep the temp cooler - and the next day she was calling a service person to ensure it wasn't a future issue. The room does have columns. It makes for a bit of a visual challenge if your presenting, but Lisa provided my speakers with a cordless hand mic. With it being on the 3rd floor, also keep this in mind for guests that may struggle with the walk up. Also, the windows surrounding the venue will give your event an expensive feel especially at night when the buildings and bridge are lit. I have received rave reviews about our event and I cannot say enough about Lisa and her team. She came out to check in with me several times and "made it happen". She also interacted with our guests and made sure to know which VIPs to watch for. My only disappointment is that I don't have disposable income to have regular events here. read more

Nice location in the downtown area. Outstanding service. Very fun and lively atmosphere. Pulled pork, Reuben sandwich was excellent. We did not care for fried pickles.The house wine was $5 and surprisingly good. Mac and cheese side dish creamy. Once again I can't say enough positive about the staff read more

Came in tonight before catching a play over at Actor's Theater. The past couple of times here the service was almost nonexistent so this was going to be a '3rd strike and they're out' kinda visit. Fortunately our waitress tonight was really on her game and redeemed BBC for us again. The food and drinks at the location are always good and they're convenient to the Yumm Center, Actor's Theater and the Convention Center. This trip I opted for the basic burger, they also offer a Spinach based patty that's very tasty as well. I got thier regular fries, many go for thier garlic fries but I find them a bit overpowering. My friend got the evenings special which was lamb meatballs with speghetti. While we didn't get any this trip the pretzels and beer cheese and fried green tomatoes are my favorite appetizers here. read more

If you are looking for a place to pregame or postgame when attending the KFC Yum Ctr I suggest you check them out. The atmosphere is awesome inside the old building at 3rd and Main. It's bar food but it's a simple menu to appease those who come. I had the wings and they were heavenly. They are large and meaty. That is what I enjoy with wings. They offer pizza and burgers. Their beer selection is great. Lots of local beer and bourbon. Like I said a good to hang out. There is some limited outdoor seating as well. Go check them out. read more

Staying across the street for a convention. BBC has a great location. You may miss it though as the sign is hard to see. We were glad we found it as it was just what we needed. Relaxed casual atmosphere. Definitely come as you are. The service was great. The waitress made us feel at home and even put a hockey game from our town on the TV for us. Food was what I like to refer to as upscale bar food. Very tasty. They brew their own beer so my group was down for that. Give them a try if you are visiting Louisville. read more

Cold pizza and rude service people don't bother with this place. The best appetizers are the pretzels pickles and wings too bad the wings are mostly fat we weren't even done with our meal and she began trying to sweep us out the door. The girl at the door was rude and took forever to acknowledge us. I wouldn't come back. read more

Appetizer sampler is delicious. Great atmosphere. Fantastic food. I would definitely recommend this place

We stopped by the brewery on the way to the stadium for some baseball. The IPA was not very hoppy but it had decent flavor. The service was inconsistent but the people were nice. Hopefully next time we can catch some food for a complete review. read more

Accidentally came across this place to use restrooms ended up eating and enjoying drinks. Standard bar food but my burger was one of the best I've eaten. They offer different types of beers and bourbons made there. Definitely worth the stop. Waitress was really nice and friendly cooks messed up our order but they made it right. Also somewhat slow but we weren't in a hurry read more

My son and I ate here before a show at the yum center, he's 7- so the first thing I loved was they have REAL crayons meaning: Crayola ! I had the spinach and artichoke dip and a blonde ale he had root beer and cheeseburger with fries. When we fished we were able to walk to the yum center so that was nice too. I have no complaints! read more

Work had an event here. It was a great place in the middle of downtown. They had a friendly staff and great food and my vegetarian friends had some delicious looking options as well. If you are looking for a place for your next function, think about doing it here. Our staff is pretty large so it fit a good number of people with some fun lounge like seating as well. read more

I have had the pleasure of attending events here several times now. I recently have been there as a dj for either a wedding reception or an engagement party. Such a nice spot to have an event! The setting is very intimate and the décor is perfect. Definitely bourbon themed, hence the name, but also a modern twist that helps brighten up the space. The views are fun with lots of windows throughout the loft. Erin Minton, the event coordinator, is fantastic! She is friendly, professional and always seems to accommodate your needs and wants. The staff that generally work the bar are also great! They work well as a team and are also very good about making sure you have what you want/need. Such a great spot to have an event. read more

Headed to the Kenny Concert and stopped in for food. We ordered 3 appetizers. Fried cauliflower, beer cheese and pretzels and jerk shrimp. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes for the food and when the runner was going to set the beer cheese and pretzels down, he picked a hair off of the plate and continued to sit it down. We sent it down and magically a new order appeared within minutes.... hmmmm. The fried cauliflower was nothing but fried batter that was rock hard. So fried that the cauliflower had pretty much withered away. Shrimp was okay. I understand that they were busy and we didn't order any entrees but I am glad that we didn't. Super sad because I love this place. read more

I had my rehearsal dinner there and it was amazing!! They were so great answering all of our questions quickly and they perfected every detail. The best part? We got SO much for our money and our budget was tight. Everything was absolutely perfect!! read more

The Four Roses Bourbon Barrel Loft is a perfect space to have an office party, wedding or reception. Or any event! Tip: They host lots of public events, such as Bluegrass Cubed and Four Roses bourbon events. It is conveniently located downtown. The room is very flexible with a modern style. Next time you have an event it's definitely worth checking out. read more

While waiting for our table at the old spaghetti factory we came here so everyone could grab a drink and so I could eat. We got seated at a high top table -love- the only beer they have that's not the beer they brew is miller and corona. I hate miller. So I would've got corona if I wasn't pregnant but I stuck with water. We got nachos and fried pickles as an appetizer. Omg loved them. Like absolutely loved the food. Wish we would've stayed there for our whole meal. Everyone got the lightest beer that they offered of their own brewed beer. It was pretty dark for it to be considered light to me. My fiancé didn't like it and we have the exact same taste in beer so I know I would've hated it. If you're coming here for just a drink- I urge you to try the food. We also got a cool shirt on our way out read more

Went here for a birthday dinner and could not be more dissatisfied. We were the only table in the restaurant, so they weren't slammed. Service was slow and inattentive. The food was brought out for half the table, then 10 minutes later the rest was brought out. The food was the worst part. One of the sandwiches still had a piece of paper from the cheese in the middle of the sandwich. In general the food was not cooked well. The broccoli might as well have been the entire plant. It was undercooked and tasted like soap. Also the waiter threw away one of the kids plastic spoons which we brought to the restaurant. This restaurant used to be a family favorite, but the quality has gone through the floor. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. read more

Stopped in before our concert for some beer and dinner. My Buffalo Mac n' Cheese was creamy, the pizza my friend ordered blew my mind. If we are in the area again I'd make an effort to grab lunch. Wait-staff incredibly friendly as well. Drinks never went empty. read more

Crispy fish platter was dry and rubbery. Service was great!, beer was ok. Our appetizer was freezer burnt. I think the fish was also freezer burnt. I was highly disappointed. read more

Went to eat dinner before a concert at the YUM center. This was our first time at BBC and never got to eat. Our food as well as many others, never came. We personally waited an hour and half after being seated and never received our meals. We had to leave in order to make our concert on time. We observed many others leaving because of the same reason. Also, we ordered a drink and it came in a dirty glass with someone else's lipstick on it! Never had I ever had this happen. Terrible service will not be returning. read more

This place is wonderful! I'm in town for the Humana Festival and tried the place out for the first time on the first day. The servers were so friendly- particularly Kyle, the bartender upstairs. He gave suggestions, was quick and attentive, and made good conversation. I came back the next day and he remembered my name, my drink, and what I was doing in town. The food is amazing, the drinks are awesome, and the people welcome you in and treat you like a regular even if you're just passing through town. Kyle and BBC definitely made my trip all the better! read more
