Fried pickles
Francisco F.

Service was excellent and the the food was very tasty. Large variety of bourbons and specialty drinks. Fried pickles and loaded chips with pulled pork were great appetizer choices. Spicy fried chicken sandwich was tender and juicy. place Is family friendly.

Went here after my graduation. The food was good! The ambiance was nice. Seats were a little uncomfortable but the service made up for It. We also had their chili and corn bread! The chili was flavorful! Corn bread was a little more on the burnt side. The fried pickles were perfect! highly recommend to anyone looking for a good bar with good food!

Old Scout Sour cocktail and an Old Fashioned

This was our first meal when we arrived in Louisville. I didn't realize it was attached to the full-service restaurant. So keep that in mind when you're trying to figure out which place to enter. They both have the same menu but this one has the bar. We went to the bar, and they were letting kids sit at the bar to eat dinner with their parent (I presume) so that was a little odd. We sat at a high top and the bartender served us when they had time. I know it was busy so that probably wasn't the best choice we ordered cocktails and they were fine. We decided to share the smokehouse sampler and it was plenty of food for the two of us. But overall I would say this place wasn't that memorable or tasty and there are a lot of other great places in the area to try if this one isn't your thing.

This was such a fun dining experience. Great oysters. Amazing service. The smoked roasted chicken was delicious. Ordered a side salad with it. The chips were good, but probably wouldn't order them in the future. Old fashioned was great!

BBQ sampler /w ribs
Jordan S.

This place is an absolute dream come true. 2600+ bottles of whiskey available, 1oz taster pours or 2oz full pours, tons of ainge barrel picks and an endless variety of stuff to try for every budget, including nearly impossible to find picks (although you'll pay a premium for those). The service was fast an attentive, and the food was delicious. For food we ordered the porkrinds and crab cakes to start, I had the BBQ sampler with a side of Mac and cheese, my wife got the burger which was also great, and we finished the meal with some bread pudding (amazing!) And some warm chocolate chip cookies. 100% will be back.

Bourbon list... just one of about 20 pages
Neila Z.

Great bourbon.... A book full and interesting choices. Service is okay. Food is meh. Ribs are dry rubbed and I'm sure done in the oven, that ain't smoked. Chips served with them are stale. Wedge Salad had the most boring blue cheese dressing EVER. I'm not a clean freak, but the globes around the lights are filthy and the ledges by the table are think with dust and debris. Too many choices to spend time here

Loaded brisket nachos. You must try these!
Christina W.

Hubby made reservations for both of us for dinner last night at Doc Crow's and they sat us in here! We are so lucky to sit inside the back part of this restaurant while the front is being readied for opening very soon. Love the floating shelves up high showcasing all their alcohol in alphabetical order (except their scotch). Started off with a couple cocktails. Hubby the old fashioned and I had the mint julep lemonade. Both were very good but a bit pricy. For our meal: Hubby ordered the Nashville hot chicken (did not come with any side). A bit under cooked but hubby ate it anyway. I ordered the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes and extra sausage gravy. Delicious!!! I would order this again. Oh wow! Oh, I forgot we tried their starter of loaded nachos with brisket and bbq chips. This is so delicious and addicting!

Front entrance
Eunice L.

With a speak-easy atmosphere and soft jazz playing overhead it's a step back in time. And I'm here for it!! The service was fast, polite and accommodating. A must stop if downtown! Parking garage was close. And some parallel available as well. Definitely a go again restaurant!

(Was hopping for the 10 yr Bourbon but got the 10 yr Rye.) Had always heard good thing about the rye too but a little more than i usually pay for any bottle, but hey . . . . I was there . . . . so i did. The staff were great but if i had one complaint, it's that it was bundled with another bottle. Sure, i understand when a retail place does it but it seemed unnecessary here, even annoying.

I opted for the tropic & Derby after dark. The tropical one was fun with the addition of the coconut cream and the added bananas. The Derby after dark was also a front runner with the hint of chocolate added with the mint, paired very nicely! Isaiah was amazing throughout our entire reservation, staying on top of refilling our snacks that paired perfectly with the drinks and flights! They are strict on their 1.5 hour stay per table so be mindful when ordering your drinks . That said, I did overhear the servers reminding the tables of their time remaining and allowed them to ample time for last call.

Merle's is one of those restaurants where I didn't expect much from it, but nevertheless, it…read moreexceeded my expectations. It's way better than it needs to be! It could just be mediocre pub food, but the food here is very, very good. I don't know why, but when I'm in the south, I get the hankering for a deviled egg. So we started with the deviled eggs (Los Huevos El Diablo), which, despite the name, were not super spicy. They had just the right amount of spice. One thing to know about me is: If I see a patty melt on the menu, I will order that. So I got the Merle's Melt, which is a burger patty with cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, plus bacon and special sauce on buttered toast. It was sublimely tasty! It comes with house-made chips, which were good. They also offer tacos on the menu. One of my children got one steak taco and one chicken taco. The tacos are topped with tomato, lettuce and cojita cheese. I was told that these were very good! My kid eats like a bird, but ate one and a half tacos, so that must say something, right? The Lip Smack'n Mac & Cheese was also ordered, as well as the fried chicken, because the menu says that the fried chicken is award-winning, so how could we not? The fried chicken was super crispy and tasty, and the mac and cheese was creamy and made with large shells, which is the best kind of pasta to use for mac and cheese (in my opinion). The service was great, the lighting was great, and we were seated quickly, even though they seemed busy. It was a good place to have a family dinner in Louisville.

If I could give six stars, I absolutely would. Merle's Whiskey Kitchen is one of the best dining…read moreexperiences I've had in Louisville. The service was incredible from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff really know their menu and make great recommendations, especially when it comes to their massive bourbon selection. There are pictures of the original bourbon Gods all around making for an educational ambiance. Speaking of bourbon, this place is a dream if you're a fan. They have over 100 bourbons to choose from, making it the perfect spot to sample some of Kentucky's best while you eat. And the food...wow. Some of the most delicious comfort food you'll find anywhere. The authentic Kentucky fried chicken is a must-order--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish we tried felt like elevated Southern comfort food done right. Between the amazing service, incredible food, and unbeatable bourbon selection, Merle's is a must-visit when you're in Louisville. Easily a six-star experience.

I decided to order my burger with just onions, mushrooms and asked for bearnaise on the side. Oh my gosh, if heaven had a kitchen it would be at Steak and Bourbon!!! This was hands down the absolute best burger I have had in my entire 55 years!! It was juicy, fresh, full of amazing flavor and the bun had the perfect consistency, not too hard or too soft, it never fell apart! ! The onions I could have eaten by themselves, that's how delicious they were. If you want a regular burger go anywhere else but if you want exceptional and the best burger of your entire life and the most heavenly burger on earth, eat at Steak and Bourbon! It was so amazing I could hardly speak... days later I'm still thinking about it and I'm already planning to go back!! If I could give them 10 stars I absolutely would! Thank you Steak and Bourbon this was a grand slam!!

We were in town for 4 days and ate dinner at Repeal 3 nights. This place was within walking distance to our hotel, but so were others.

Wow it's hard to get a reservation at Repeal on a Saturday evening, even early, and even several…read moremonths out. It's a nice hotel, and a pleasant steakhouse, but not sure it demands quite that much love. Most importantly, they don't know how to cook a steak. The flavor is spot on, you can really taste the wood fire, and the steaks are seasoned well. But the wife ordered a filet medium and it came out blood rare. My medium rare strip was presented rare, which I'm ok with, though it was noticeably still a bit more cooked than her "medium" filet. Having to return a steak to get it cooked properly, at an apparently well respected upscale steakhouse, is a disappointment, a big bump in the middle of a pleasant evening. We started with the oysters rock, which were quite good, and quite large. The french onion soup was a nice classic version. We split an heirloom tomato salad, and each still got two very large and thick slices of tomato, making the split a good sized salad for each of us. The balsamic pearls were a treat. An unexpected pleasure were the parker house rolls. Yum. Though between enjoying them, with the split salad, splitting the oysters, and the soup, we'd clearly over ordered! Repeal is a pleasant fine dining spot in the midst of the Louisville downtown action. They just need to learn how to cook steaks to temp before they rise to a truly 5 star destination.

The restaurant serves it with garlic haricot verts but I do not recall making those, however I wish we would have bc they are my favorite! After this I really couldn't wait to see what else they offered. Their menu rotates seasonly so some of these items are not currently available since we were there in the summer however from looking through their instagram I really hope they will be back!! We stoped in on a random Saturday night and was surprised to be able to grab two seats at the bar however there is always so much going on in Louisville in the summer. The bartender was rather busy but he was very friendly and personable throughout our entire experience. We ordered a couple drinks and the Feta and Hot Honey starter. It came with a generous portion of Feta, drizzled with Hot Honey, fresh sliced Jalapeño, prosciutto, and I believe macadamia nuts (not 100% sure) .... SO GOOD!!! My husband ordered the Cheese Tortellini which is fresh pasta, filled with a blend of Wisconsin cheese and herbs, tossed in a mushroom and spinach cream sauce that is finished with pine nuts and basil pesto. He really enjoyed it as I was only able to grab a few bites. It was rich, creamy and delicious. I ordered the Chilean Salmon over broccolini which was topped with cucumber and onion and drizzled with a vinaigrette I believe and this was hands down the best salmon I've ever had. I am extremely picky when it comes to seafood so I do not say that lightly. I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes which I really didn't need and honestly didn't eat much of bc my Salmon was so good. We were too stuffed for dessert but have heard they are pretty famous for their Bourbon's Bread Pudding which is custard soaked bread, bourbon caramel, dried dark cherries soaked in bourbon syrup so I will definitely be trying that next time!

I ordered the appetizer Spicy Fried Oysters served over grits as my entree. The 6-7 oysters were fried perfectly crispy, not too spicy, and the creamy parmesan grits were a nice accompaniment. This appetizer really was the right entree portion for me.
