Craighton M.

The Brass Social at the top of Blankenbaker Dr (i.e. Electron Dr) is a welcome stop in Middletown KY which is sorely devoid of great restaurants. They host an array of burgers with a myriad of toppings and sides; best of which is the mac n' cheese. I should know, I'm a connoisseur (ahem). There is also a variety of craft bears at 4.00.each But if you imbibe ignore visiting the gun range next door. Shoot first and eat/drink later. Restaurant is easy to get to with plenty of tables inside and out with ample parking. Did I mention the cheap draft bears?

We stopped here for an early supper and were very happy we did. They have a nice draft selection of craft beers and happy hour had them at 4 bucks each. We ordered the pretzel bites to get started and then I went with a mushroom and Swiss smash burger while my wife had a chicken and rice entree. Both were very good. They have a nice burger, selection, but they're all smash burgers. If you love smash burgers, then you'll love this place. If you prefer a big thick burger, then this probably isn't for you. They did also have several other entrée options, other than burgers. Most of their items ran from about 17 up to $20ish for an entrée. The atmosphere was very clean and comfortable casual. We also had great service and a personable waitress. All in all I would highly recommend.

My cousin wanted a burger and not just any... "I want juicy, juice dripping from the side of my mouth with crisp lettuce that crunches with each bite, cheese with a salty finish..." So with that, I was on search for a high quality burger that would satisfy the most sophisticated palette for my fam. On a Yelp search, Brass Social was the most favorable option. There was ample parking in the lot Brass Social sat on. We were fortunate to find a spot in front of the entrance. The inside of Brass Social was informal with high ceilings, spacious interior and ample seating to provide privacy between seating. There are seats at the bar to the left of entering, the shooting range is to far back right of the entrance (Yes! You can eat then shoot) and wood tables of different length and sizes with wood chairs and metal details. Their esthetic is industrial. Menus are paper. Service was exceptional. Our waiter was friendly, checked in on us a few times and provided us privacy to enjoy our meals and each other. The women's restroom was bright, spacious, clean and had at least six stalls for everyone in the party to go without wait. The hand towel dispenser was empty and upon telling staff it was immediately refilled. Exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meals. The veggies were exceptional. They were so good each one of us couldn't stop complimenting its flavor. Those veggies are insanely delicious! Perfectly cooked. The burgers were more flavorful and juicier than expected and exactly what my cousins were in search for. My salmon was juicy, flaky, seasoned nicely while still enjoying the taste of the salmon itself. Basically, regardless of your selection you will not be disappointed. If I lived closer to some of my fam I would enjoy Brass Social's meals and shooting range. I did not get the opportunity this visit, maybe in a few months we'll see. Overall, I enjoyed the environment, service, food, and time spent and I'm grateful we found a location to satisfy all our preferences.

This was a pleasant surprise. This is a well kept secret and a hidden gem. This is really good bar food with even better service. I had one of the burgers and the buffalo chicken dip. They were both a step above your typical bar food and super tasty. Id in the area again, I would definitely return.

Signature Burger

I got the Signature Social burger and it was unbelievably good. One of the best burgers in the city, seriously. The fries were fine. Not incredible, definitely not bad. My parents got the So Lou Chicken which also was delicious and essentially meal prep, high protein. Will absolutely be coming back.

Greeted warmly upon entering. Nice sized place with a full service bar in the middle of a business center. I ordered a Blue & Blackened Burger with Fries. Let me tell you, it was fantastic!! The fries were crispy and good flavor and the burger was outstanding! This will become a regular spot since my dealership just opened around the corner.

We stopped by for some light snacks after the shooting range before heading home for dinner and ordered mostly appetizers. Most of us tried the garlic shrimp, and while the staff mentioned the shrimp delivery was smaller than usual, we still went ahead, and honestly, it was tasty and well-prepared. That said, at $16 for an appetizer (without fries included), it feels like it should really be considered a meal. I also hope the bread could be served in a slightly thicker cut to make it more satisfying.

Brass Social- A Damn Fine Birger Worth Talking About! Don't be fooled by its location in a business complex. The Brass social creates one the best burgers in all of Louisville, IMO. I personally loved the Signature Social burger. It's a beautiful sweet mess, dripping with what can only be described as liquid gold- a savory, decadent elixir that soaks the bun and coats your fingers in the best possible. Locally sourced beef, an attentive chef, tasty drinks, and great customer service makes this place the spot to check out. It's still in its infancy phase however I'd put money on this place a soon becoming a the place everyone in Louisville comes for a great burger. I highly recommend ordering the 1911 cocktail. You can thank me later.

Brass social and next level gun range out front .

Hidden in an industrial looking area of j-town you'll find an unassuming burger spot "brass social" it's clean with simple decor, paintings on the walls inspired by the adjacent gun range and shop. The food is strong. All of the meats are locally raised, quality ingredients inside. The Smash Burgers are killer .. no pun intended. My favorite burger is the Hermano Americano. The fries remind me of an upscale long John's silvers fries like they've been lightly dredged in flour or something to that effect. The smoked wings are tasty and with nice smoked flavor and choice of bbq sauce. definitely worth a trip and certainly a hidden Gem. the only time you hear gun fire is when you visit the restrooms... this is a unique and novel experience.

Sorry it's sideways! The Better Bourbon Bureau is my favorite Old Fashioned in Louisville!

This is one of my favorite new spots in the city - it has become a staple in my lunch rotation. Middletown is an affluent area that seems to have the best of everything, but let me tell you - their food scene inexplicably sucks! Brass Social has been such a refreshing addition there, like the thaw of ice in springtime. In particular, their namesake burger might be Louisville's best - and I've tried almost all of them. You can actually taste each individual component of the burger, which is a strange but poignant compliment rendered by my friend, Nate. They also make my favorite Old Fashioned in the city. This place just understands flavors and balance and does everything at an above average standard. The one deficiency is that the service here hasn't been very good over the course of my 8-10 visits. You'll often wait a while... or have to re-ask for things several times. And the atmosphere feels more like a small, impersonal cafeteria. But the food is so good I don't care! A funny note: Brass Social is attached to a gun range. If you drink any alcohol here, they'll scan your license and you won't be permitted to shoot firearms next door immediately after. So do your boozing elsewhere before you visit the gun range. Kidding. But do try Brass Social!

The food was decent. The burgers and tater tots were tasty. The restaurant was a bit small. It was an extension of the gun store and range.

The staff was wonderful, the food was great and there were so many food choices that it was unbelievable. Our server, Bria, was so sweet and really did a great job. She answered our questions about the menus which helped us a lot. I chose the Personal Flatbread Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Bacon, Ham, Pineapple and Ranch Sauce. Phil had the Personal Meat Pizza. Our pizzas were both delicious. Some of the other popular choices were Smash Burgers, Double Burgers, the Strawberry Salad. The 3 children had a Halloween Special, a pumpkin or mummy decorated bucket of Fries, 3 Chicken Tenders for just $9.99 and for extra fun, they ordered the Big Super Fun Sundae that had soda, gummy candy, and was topped with blue cotton candy. It was a great time and once again, Bria did a wonderful job taking care of all of us by herself. Nathan , one of our favorite dads dressed for Halloween in his vintage Ghost Buster Uniform.

Welp Main Event, you let us down. My company reserved space for a group of 25-30 people and we were…read moredisappointed in the welcome and service received. Our reservation was at 5:30 and have the paperwork confirming that; however, we were greeted with "you should have been here at 5:00". We were walked to our bowling lanes, given drink tickets, activity tickets, and game cards. Our server wasn't overly friendly and once we got started we never saw him again. We went to the bar to turn in tickets and our dirty plates were piled up on back tables. I've never experienced such poor service from Main Event - and since many of our guests were from out of town, it was embarrassing as a host. Because they insisted our arrival should've been at 5 instead of 5:30, our lanes were shut off abruptly during bowling. This caused a fairly big smashing of a ball against the metal wall. None of use were able to finish the last frame. When we mentioned the shutdown and having no warning, the gentleman at the shoe return shrugged and said "you knew you had til 7". The space was almost empty ... such strange, disappointing behavior from the team. We have multiple gatherings at work throughout the year and are located near Main Event. I will no longer be recommending them for our team events.

You will NEVER receive a bad meal here. Ever. The food is amazing!…read more This is definitely a local's spot. The great thing is the local's are all a great hang. So the ambiance, depending on where you are seated is very good or fantastic. The service is mostly abysmal. It's been abysmal for years. It's rather the running joke among friends whom have the money but are often amazed how bad the service is. I really don't think the ownership accepts how bad the service sucks...badly. C'est le guerre. Two out of three ain't bad. The prices are en pointe! If they had a manager with a brain it could be so much more. The restaurant group owns three other restaurants. Why they have kept the SUCKY mgt here is beyond my understands. I've never owned a restaurant but I have owned companies. No idea why they continue with very poor mgt. I feel like the manager must have nude pictures of someone!! Go here! Food exceptional. Just because mgt are possibly accepting bribes...or something weird is occurring...Enjoy what you can!!! You won't be disappointed...except the service!!

Particularly when chefs prefer fancy twists on familiar bar food. Our group of 6 adults and two grandkids had a hit & miss experience. My wife's fish tacos were a disaster. We requested blackened fish instead of fried on corn tortillas. Her dinner was a disappointment. Cold flimsy tortillas and cold fish with an overpowering aioli. No sides were included in this order. Another diner ordered the BLT. Again, they had to dress up the sandwich rather than stick to the classic. The pimento cheese did not enhance the sandwich. Another at the table went with one of Recbars "egg rolls". It was lead. Heavy, with an overpowering greasy, flavor. The "wrap" was so heavy, we couldn't tell what was inside. On the plus side, my chicken parmigiana sandwich was very good. Lightly breaded and fried, moist and covered with a solid marinara sauce and melted cheese. Served on a bun with tater tots. The cornflake chicken fingers were impressive. Large pieces, again. lightly fried. Service was friendly, patient & prompt. They only serve Pepsi products and if you're looking for a diet drink you've got one choice-diet Pepsi. Thankfully, they do offer unsweetened ice tea. Of course, there's a full service bar for "grown up" drinks. The desert, "oh cinnappy" ordered for our 9 yr old grandson was a hit with the adults. He preferred to hit the games. The rest rooms were smelly and messy. And one had no paper towels to dry your hands. But here is why we'll never go back. As we were ready to leave, the sky opened up. A drenching storm. My wife asked the hostess for a plastic bag to cover her hair. The response? Not my job, you'll have to ask your server. We were dumbstruck by that response. She's the greeter. And clearly has no concept of customer service. The servers were busy (the place was hopping on a Sunday night) and she was just standing at the front desk. No one waiting for a table. No one at the door. She just couldn't be bothered. So, we won't bother to come back.
