    If you want a great dining experience with a nostalgic flair dating back to the 40's, 50's & 60's I strongly suggest you visit Hauck's Corner in the Germantown / Schinitzelberg neighborhood of Old Louisville. It was originally a drygoods/hardware/grocery store that dates back to 1912. In 2022 it was transformed into a restaurant but kept its eclectic appeal as evidenced by the attached photos. You order your food at the bar and wait for your hand-held buzzer to light up signalling your food is ready. You go to another section of the establishment to procure it. My wife's cobb salad could have fed a family of three. I had the signature burger that required dislocating my jaw to take a bite! The home-made onions rings were also a great choice. There is also an attached pizzeria and playground area for children and pets. I rarely give out 5 stars but this place is definitely one. The only drawback is trying to find parking in the surrounding neighborhood; but well worth it.

    Toast Malone

    This is a favorite hangout place especially when it's nice enough to sit on their patio! The patio is huge, and so fun with all of the statues. Last Saturday we hung out here for several hours for beers and burgers. Toast Malone is my fave but there are some close contenders, like the Firebird. A huge plus is that their entrees can easily be made vegan. Their fries are crispy and the ranch is great quality.

    We stopped by Hauck's for apps and a few drinks - it was decorated for the holidays! Love the prosecco on tap and the delicious bar food. We tried the poutine with shredded beef and the fries were crispy and well seasoned, with gooey cheese topped with a heaping portion of meat.

    This is my fourth time visiting Haucks and my opinion on the food hasn't changed. It's just not that great. This time I ordered the Firebird with queso mac & cheese, my partner ordered the Toast Malone with fries. Nothing stood out flavor wise, the burgers were bland and the mac and cheese was watery. My partner said, "if I had a few more beers this food might taste pretty good". The atmosphere of this restaurant is why I continue to come back with newbies. The old carnival rides, Ronald McDonald statue and box of crayons hanging from the roof really add charm and character. There's tons of seating (inside and out) from iron chairs, to swings, to bar tables. They have a board game shelf too. You order at the bar and pick up at the food truck window. If you're coming with little ones they have an outdoor play area that's fenced in (a nice plus). As cool as this place looks, I don't think I'll be back unless the quality of the food increases.

    My family of 4 met for lunch on a Saturday. No issue to find a table, either inside or outside, and some is in between with garage doors open to the patio. Fairly robust menu to meet most expectations for pub grub. Menus are at the table and you order at the bar. Water tanks are available. A bit warm so ask for a cup of ice. Hauck's burgers, Chicken sandwiches / BLT, fries, onion rings, and mac and cheese were consumed. I'm glad we didn't order an appetizer. Highlights included the queso mac and cheese - it wasn't too queso-y. I also like the sweet potato fries with the siracha honey and onion rings. The cobb salad looks good here and I'm going to order it next visit. Plenty of drinks and beer. Street parking. Awesome patio area with unique seating and kids play area. Good for all ages but at late hours it does turn into a 21+ establishment.

    What a hidden gem for families! We stopped by for a quick bite and playtime during our short visit to the Louisville area. Ample outdoor seating across the few eateries included in the space. We ordered Havana Heat sandwich, veggie tacos and Mexican street corn with 2 beers. It was a fun time and yummy food! Bartender Tim was helpful with beer suggestions and helping me navigate the space. Corn and veggie tacos were spicy. The playground was super fun for our toddler. They even had huge, powerful fans/misters that cooled us on the heat. We did park on the street and lucked out given the 3pm time. It was more full when we left about an hour later. Can't wait to stop again!

    Haucks is an insane institution in louisville that is not to be missed. I find it's my favorite nice weather hang in town with SO MUCH back outdoor space. But truly a wonder year round. The food truck outback is stellar. don't skip a classic bologna sando. But I adore their fried chicken sandwich. All around otherwise some solid on draft cocktails, beers etc. I would suggest an ubderberg and a grapefruit raddler combo. Plus, the dainty! If you've never done the dainty in louisville as a guest or an athlete. It's a summertime staple.

    Went here tonight with my wife and kids. Got to watch the game while sitting outside, and they even had a free water station which was clutch. The hot chicken sandwich was huge and spicy, and the pretzel was literally bigger than my daughter's head. Fun little spot with toys and games to keep everyone entertained--good vibes all around. We would be back for sure

    Loved the vibe of this place. Every single person we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. This is a place to hang out with friends and get some bar food. We enjoyed sitting on the outside patio. Think this place has something for everyone, even a fun kids section outside.

    This is such a fun spot. It's an old store that was on the corner in Germantown. They've turned it into a bar. It honestly feels like the jungle gyms of Louisville. You walk in and you've got the as expected bar then next-door you've got a game bar the next-door you have a sports bar. There's a connection to a pizza place a dessert place and a breakfast place. And the back patio may be the best spot to hang out. There's a random Marilyn Monroe hanging out. There's a Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench. There's toys for the kids and brides and rocking sliding chairs for the adults. On the table was Darth Vader or Boba Fett depending on what you prefer there's something for everyone drinks are great and I look forward to spending more fall nights at this spot.

    Signature burger
    Saphace A.

    Really great place to hang out! Not sure if the demographic was college students and older? I saw a mix of folks that looked to be millennials. You order drinks and food at the bar then pick up your food at the back room. They give you a buzzer. It's a large place! Tons of rooms to sit in with lots of tables, a few arcade games, swing sets, and TVs. My friend and I both got Coke and some burgers. I tried the signature which had American cheese, caramelizad onions, bacon, and an egg. My friend tried the American: pickles and mustard, hold the lettuce and tomato. It's 2 patties so it was very filling and large! Was it 6oz? Maybe 8oz of beef? Not sure. Seasoned well and juicy! Not all that messy actually, but I cut mine into fourths. It came with waffle fries. Each one was crispy to perfection and seasoned. So good! Staff was nice. Someone came around to ask if we wanted refills and clear our trash. They even asked if we wanted boxes. I didn't expect that for a bar. The vibe is kinda hipster even though subcultures technically don't exist anymore. Slightly grungy vibes. They were playing rock music in the background. Parking wasn't hard. I wasn't parked even a block away on Goss. Would love to come back just for drinks and apps!

    A fun weeknight bar. Delicious cocktails and a strong Happy Hour make this a wonderful place to visit for a drink or two. The building is narrow and long with more seating in back than in the bar area. Servers are helpful and the restrooms are clean. The bar food is good, especially the homemade onion rings and the fried Bologna sandwich!

My drink was rich and delicious and I absolutely loved their espresso. I do not recall what drinks my friends ordered. By the time we were leaving there was plenty of people in the place and appeared there was some sort of event gathering.

It's a modern take on the standing-room-only "Big Rock Show" venue, with well stocked bars on either side of the stage and a cool balcony above (often reserved for VIP standing or sitting, and with its own bar and bathrooms). One of the twists to the venue that is in my understanding still greatly under appreciated is that the Louisville Orchestra collaborated in building Paristown Hall. The stage can fit the whole orchestra, the acoustics are good enough to showcase that, and the A/V system is deep enough capture most of it. How many orchestras in this country have a venue that they can regularly play that gives off "Big Rock Show" energy? Paristown Hall is also the reason that Louisville had one of the few active, working orchestras (and paid salaries to them!) in the country in the early 2020s. (Those live streams meant a lot to me as a fan of live music in those years.) I try to buy any Paristown Hall ticket that sounds even of passing interest. I especially buy a ticket for every Louisville Orchestra show at Paristown Hall before even reading the description, because any show our Orchestra thinks needs to be at Paristown Hall is a show I don't want to miss.

Bag checks and security were efficient and the scan for my ticket QR code made it simple and easy. This venue has a large bar across the entire back wall, which is on the opposite side of the room from the entrance. The restrooms are located on the left front side of the building when facing the bar. A large balcony for the VIP patrons wraps around the second level for more than half of the room in a horseshoe shape. It appears to also have a decent amount of seating. This is in contrast to the ground floor general admission area, which is standing only. Over 2 to 3 hours of standing on a concrete floor is a foot annihilator, but was so worth it to me this time around. Stage was able to be seen fairly well from most vantage points. Projection images of the stage were seen on 2 walls on either side, which helped supplement what we could see. Sound system was top notch. I'm still half-deaf almost a day and a half later. I'll probably take at least some light hearing protection with me to future events. Overall, great venue. Good value. Plenty of nearby parking and places to dine before/after events.

The bartender was snarky, but it felt ironic and playful -- classic dive bar energy. No issues at all. I even suggested we return Monday night with coworkers. For context, multiple bartenders at the first bar we visited that evening warned us not to go to 3rd Street Dive due to past negative experiences. I brushed it off because my Sunday visit had been fun and I thought they just didn't like the dive bar vibe. Monday was a completely different story. The bartender was openly hostile from the start -- yelling and swearing at customers, aggressively confronting people for briefly being on their phones, and creating a tense, uncomfortable environment. Demanding no one stand at the bar while we were trying to pay our tab. The situation escalated when he intentionally and aggressively threw a drink on one of my coworkers. This was not an accidental spill in a packed bar. It was deliberate. At that point, it stopped being "dive bar attitude" and started feeling volatile and unsafe. There's a difference between edgy and unprofessional. Sunday felt edgy. Monday felt unpredictable and uncomfortable. Louisville has too many great spots to risk spending your evening somewhere that could escalate like that. I hope ownership takes a serious look at what's happening behind the bar. I won't be returning.
