If you're looking for a unique and welcoming bar in New Albany, The Earl is definitely worth a…read morevisit. It has a great atmosphere to enjoy a quick drink or settle in and enjoy the evening. The drinks are well made, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe makes it easy to stay longer than you planned. It's a great spot whether you're going out for a casual night or meeting friends for something a little different from the usual bar scene. What really stands out is the personality of the place. It feels cozy, well put together, and genuinely enjoyable. We've had consistently good experiences and would absolutely recommend giving The Earl a try if you're in New Albany.

If this place were called "Steve's" or something and had more mundane lighting, I'd wrap my head around it more easily. The bar itself runs down the center of the single room with some four-ups against the wall. Each time, drinks are poured into plastic cups. Prices seem reasonable but portions are smaller than you'll get elsewhere. There's a few on draft, some alright cocktails and a limited food menu. I opted for the pretzel bread and pimento spread and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the freshness, texture, and taste! Music selections fluctuate both genres and volumes. Clientele is pretty relaxed. Its a go-to spot after 10 p.m.

The prices and the ambience say that they want to be fancy, but it doesn't quite live up to it in appearance or performance. The prices are high for what it is. We came in at 5:30PM and didn't have our entrees delivered until 7:25PM. My filet was overcooked, but I went ahead and ate it because we had a concert @8PM to walk to. They did offer to re-make mine, but there wasn't time. Not sure I'd try this place again, sadly.

Once you go in, you get asked what your ailment is and he prescribes you your "medication" which in my case was the "All Dolled Up" vodka cocktail!

Service was great, the drinks were good but my favorite part was definitely the lounge area on the second floor as it was literally like going back in time! The decor is just awesome! Needless to say, I will be going back!

Even before we were seated, I noticed a server wearing a green bandanna speaking to another employee, who we later learned was the manager on duty, in a way that seemed unprofessional and unfriendly. After we were seated, my wife asked if we could move because she was cold. We then waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. When our server finally arrived, she acted like she didn't want to be there. My wife asked for a recommendation, but the response was vague and unhelpful. Our drink order was wrong. My wife and I ordered waters, and our son ordered a Sprite, but we received two lemonades and one water instead. After taking our order, our server disappeared. She never brought our food, checked on us, asked if we needed refills, or stopped by the table again. The manager walked past our table several times but never seemed interested in checking on our experience. The biggest issue was my son's meal. He ordered chicken sliders with the sauce on the side, but they arrived covered in sauce. Another employee took the meal back to be remade, but it came back wrong a second time. By then, my wife and I had already finished eating, and our son had been waiting nearly an hour without a proper meal. When I spoke with the manager, I asked that my son's meal be removed from the bill. Instead of taking responsibility and apologizing, the manager offered excuses rather than solutions. Mistakes can happen, but it's how they're handled that matters. Unfortunately, the customer service from both our server and the manager was disappointing. We left frustrated, and based on this experience, we will not be returning to this location.

We seated ourselves as there was no host but lots of waiters/waitress walking around. We sat at a simple rail table and waited for someone to wait on us and take our drink, food order. The staff just seemed oblivious to our being there and walked past several times. I finally went to the waitress station and got the attention of I believe the manager; He took my drink order; a Diet Coke wit bourbon and a Gallant Chocolate Stout. The tap spit so he went back to tap another keg. Was taking sometime; so got attention of the bartender ( Chrisella sp? ). I switched to a Founders stout and DC/bourbon. She was on it and gave me menus. Took drinks back to table and looked over the menu options. Many sounded very good; but still no one to take order. Went to waitress station and Sella took our order. 1 mile burger and one smash burger and split fries. We moved to the bar as a few patrons had left. Enjoyed game and soon food arrived. The burgers were really good and fries nice and crisp. Seen some pretty nice hot dogs served along with some hot fries. Even though service was mostly extinct, Chrisella made up for it. I'd like to plan to come back and try a few other interesting food and drink items. They do have one of the more comprehensive lists of beer line ups in the local area. I really liked the outside Biergarten and the business is very spacey and nicely decorated and lots of seating area.

I decided to splurge on a $65 7 oz filet, which is twice what I've ever paid for a steak before. We just don't do steakhouses very often but I thought it'd be worth it to get the best steak ever. I ordered medium, and felt it was overcooked. I fault myself for not going medium rare or specifying 'medium to medium rare'. The mashed potatoes and mac n cheese were excellent. I'd go back but I'd get a less expensive cut next time.

We we greeted as we came in by Mary Beth who was the mixologist of the day. We were self seated at the bar to get first hand experience. Menus were given to us, certain items were pointed out as favorites and drink order was placed. We ordered the chicken sliders and the Knocker Burger which is one of the original burgers from the original Tavern in Louisville. Octoberfest was ordered along with a Diet Coke/bourbon. The Octoberfest was good, however there was a little twist of berry hint to it. I asked about it and was explained that the prior pour was a blueberry drink and the flavor was still infused in the lines after flushing. Kayla was the manager and she was concocting some new drink creations for the upcoming widow walk. People go from place to place ( similar to a pub crawl ). They were taste testing to have a go to drink for the themed walk. They are also gearing up for Harvest Homecoming. Our food was delivered nice and fresh. The sliders were very good. The burger was tasty and filling; so only ate 1/2. The fries were really good and nicely salted, not too much or too little. All in all a nice establishment to visit. Might have to check out the widow walk when time comes around.
