A place I haven't visited in years but, was a go to way back when. A friend and I decided to come here to watch a band we like. Didn't know they were charging a cover so, we run across the street to the banks ATM. Go back and pay the cover and go in. We get a drink or two along with an appetizer. Fried Pepper Jack cheese cubes w/ ranch. Very good and deep fried to perfection. Also tried a signature drink called Gerstle's punch, very tasty. We basically just basically kicked back and watched a band. We did check out the place some, couldn't quite see everything because it was dark in there but, it is an old building that much is true. We do plan on coming back to try some of the other food and maybe watch other bands here. This place is definitely worth a check out.

This is a fun bar that my friend visited over the weekend. I have always been wanting to go here. When we got to the main door, it was a five dollar cover charge which we didn't carry cash so I was like well can't go there, but he said around the back There's another entrance that is free to get into just can't come into the main club. So we went to the back had a couple drinks and watched a guy performing Tom Petty songs and different classic rock songs. It was an overall fun time that we really enjoyed.

Proof of people

God it's so heartbreaking to say that gerstles USED to be my favorite bar. I used to love the live music and then would stay for DJ after, but genuinely the DJs are so god awful at this bar it's not worth it. This is the second chance I've given to this place after realizing, and I will not be retuning. The drinks are also more expensive than other places. I would tell people that Gerstle's was my favorite bar and was always met with "the DJs suck" which I completely get now. Tonight, 11/17, it was ONLY 90s music and TRASH trending TikTok songs that people would dance to for thirty seconds and return to their seats. I included pictures but there was a solid 35 people tonight and not a single person stayed on the floor for longer than a minute the entire hour plus I was there. At midnight how the hell can you not have people on your dance floor! A complete disappointment and waste of my Friday night. How hard is it to throw some variety into your set when it's clearly not good for the crowd? Read the room! I genuinely think a random Apple Music playlist would've been better than the DJs for both nights I've gone. The DJ tonight did have good transitions tho! It was a smooth transition of trash into more trash

Gerstle's is a great local place in Louosville to catch a Vikings Game.. Fair warning It's dedicated to Viking fans during the NFL season. No worries if your not but expect to see a sea of purple. Great fun! Also very good bar food, above average in my opinion andf others. It's a must see sports and music bar if your visiting.

I'm going back today bc they, seemingly on purpose, double charged me. Nice place, but shady business.

Service was unobtrusive, timely and friendly. The food items were a treat. Smash burgers, if you like them Tin Roof has them and they are tasty. Also the fries that come with are not your regular krinkle kuts. The are KK on steroids. All of the menu items were cooked perfectly and made with fresh ingredients. This visit could not have been better.

The A/C was down (heat wave week, it's fixed, y'all so don't worry), but that didn't stop the staff from hustling! And bless those cooks in that kitchen-I can't imagine. I got a gin and tonic. Solid. And hot honey chicken tenders, chips with queso and salsa. The queso was really delicious, creamy, smooth with a hint of spice. And the tenders... do y'all brine them?? Because they were really tender and delicious. The energy was great. It would be easy to host this kind of thing but roll your eyes and begrudge us (and our HYPE), I have seen this happen elsewhere, but here, they really, really embraced it. Also, check out their full list of summer event! They've got live music, and outdoor patio, trivia, family feud, bingo, and a girl's day out.

Now let me say, This Is Not Your Typical Karaoke. You perform with a live band and they are talented! So if you sing or not come check it out. Many venues to choose from, Jeffersonville River Stage; (by the way it's tonight) or Iroquois amphitheater and Wick's pizza at Goose Creek or New Albany In. Check the link for dates and times. By the way Iroquois amphitheater and Wicks and Iroquois- has tap brews with a semi full bar, plus Cheeser's food truck. All venues I've attended have clean facilities especially Iroquois Amphitheater. Kentucky of parking lots except The River Stage is mostly street. I will attend again. You can sign up ; on line or there is a kiosk. Side note; Iroquois had a few under 21 singers but none seen at Wick's. That's not a problem for me because everyone should have an opportunity to join in. I must say I will be performing tonight (just a little plug for myself from 7 till 8 as a warm up for the main show). If singing is your thing or just looking for something to do before heading out for the evening, come check it out you my find a little liquid encouragement will have you singing. Love the concept.

This is genuinely as good as it gets!! We hired FCK for for our company wide event that we have…read moreevery year at pep. It all started off as trying to offer something new with crowd engagement for our employees to cut loose. Once we reached out to FCK, we received nothing but hospitality. All of the band members are genuinely great people, and they encouraged everyone to participate. You don't have to be a good singer to get up and sing with FCK. They will help you through the entire thing, and the concept behind this is amazing! Our CEO was very impressed with the band, and how engaging they were with our employees. 1,000/10 all around! Cannot wait to work with FCK again in the future!
