This was my friend group's first time checking out this place, and it will definitely be our last…read more Immediately after entering the bar, we were stared at by the staff and people coming in. The female manager, with the sides of her head shaved, was hugging, kissing, and being overly familiar with every customer who walked in. It was extremely uncomfortable. We decided to play a game of pool and noticed a pool stick already on the table, along with others. A customer, who the manager had been hugging and kissing, came over to my friend, aggressively grabbed the stick, and made a scene, telling my friend that it was his stick and that there would be a problem if he used it again. Later, my friend accidentally left a beer on the pool table (we know it's not allowed, it was an honest mistake). Without warning, the manager--who appeared to be on something--came over, reached around my friend, grabbed the beer, and shouted, "Is this your beer? Get it off my fucking table!" Then, she returned to the group of people by the bar. We all noticed they were talking about us and pointing in our direction. To top it off, there was a "singer" at the bar who was singing over the original Spotify track, which was honestly more comical than anything else. The entire atmosphere was unprofessional and uncomfortable. When we left, the same manager was staring us down in the parking lot. This place felt very run-down and appeared to be run by a group of friends and regulars. Any newcomers should beware--these people are not friendly at all. Worst bar I've ever been to, hands down.

Guys, this place is MY JAM!!!…read more 3rd Turn continues to rock out handcrafted venues (built by the owners). They upcycle as many materials as possible and do their best to maintain the unique venues natural magic. And now we are onto the beer. By far, my favorite brewery in Louisville. The tap changes almost daily and there is always something funky about even the most basic beers. I have difficulty drinking more than one beer total a day because of how heavy they can be. However, when consuming high abv beer that is clean and brewed the right way, I am able to drink multiple beers in one sitting. Which, makes it great for the beer lover that I am! what is on tap is always barrel aged and different from their full brewery next door. The bourbon selection is fantastic and we have enjoyed Edward Lee so often that we finished the bottle last night! I guess it is time to start something new!!! Bring your friends or kids. There are games and it is quite literally for all beings. Enjoy! You'll thank me!!!

The beer selection is a little on the heavier side, with quite a few high ABV draft options. What's nice is that you can travel between this location and the original 3rd Turn location, so if someone in your group is looking for a lighter beer they can walk next door where they have 20 different beers are on-tap as well as bourbon slushies. The workers always go above and beyond to make sure their customers are taken care of and are very knowledgeable about the beers and bourbons they serve. They have ample seating inside and out and usually have a food option available on Friday and Saturdays. Check them out on Facebook for more info.

We've been to 3rd Turn a few times recently - one for a private event and another for music bingo…read more This is a converted church so sitting in its main indoor space is a nice setting - high ceilings, high top tables and the bar. I also love the corners with comfy couches and chairs. Plenty of beer to enjoy plus a few slushies - although those are so sweet that I'm not a fan. You can bring in your own food or order delivery from a few spots in the Gaslight District. I especially appreciate it's a family friendly space because my sons are teens. It was so much fun to enjoy music bingo with them while eating pizza from Parlour. Outdoor seating as well - lots of it. Easy street parking. Quick service. Follow them on social to keep up with their events. I'm going to start suggesting this space for more meet ups with friends.

This…read moreis a church turned brewery, and while they don't have food, they allow outside food to be brought in, which is great for us because we could bring our dog inside from the blazing hot summer heat. They had a ton of beers, but we opted for the slushies -- the Pineapple one was hot weather perfection, and the other was so incredibly strong i couldn't finish it. I also ordered an Old fashioned, and it was an ultimate concoction with a giant rock of ice. You know an Old fashioned will be good when they don't serve it with chipped ice. We hung out for a few hours and played cards, and the bartenders were friendly and accommodating. I wish this place was closer to us cause we would be regulars! At the very least, we will return in cooler weather to enjoy the outside patio.

It has the dive bar feel where there are dim lights and dartboards but they still have it modernized so it does not look run down. They have a full bar but they do not have any specialty drinks. I ordered a beer on draft and my husband ordered an LIT (gross) and we both enjoyed our drinks. They do serve the drinks in red solo cups which I honestly didn't mind. I love that they share the patio area with 3rd turn so you can enjoy the nice weather. I will be making my way to JTD again soon

So we went on a Saturday at 6 PM and they were packed. And when I say packed, I mean PACKED…read moreThe wait was about 40 minutes, no big deal we just chilled at the bar. We had a party of eight that they accommodated. Among other large parties we saw. The ambience of the place is so nice so retro. There are about 3 to 4 separate corridors within the building that hold different rooms. Two of them are JUST games. One is half tables half games and then one is just bar and tables. In the summer they have a window that lifts up where you can sit on their patio too. I got a house margarita which I ordered two of because the first one was so good. It was a celebration for my mother-in-law's birthday so she just got a regular beer, but the service was still good amongst all opinions . The bartenders were in good moods and the staff was still super nice and kind even though they were swamped. ----- The FOOD. UNMATCHED! To be THAT busy and push out food of the quality we received is mind blowing!! Good job! I've been here before but no one else had. Note! They only have tater tots. No fries. So I got the Always Sunny Totchos. HALF ORDER Their tots with queso (amazing) & SHREDDED STEAK, GRILLED ONIONS & PEPPERS To dieeee for! So delicious. Then I got wings to go; sauce on the side. COOKED TO Perfection! Buffalo, bourbon bbq, and ranch. My husband got the Mikey Likey burger and he said it was great. (ITALIAN SEASONED PATTY, WARM MARINARA, MELTED MOZZARELLA, PEPPERONI & BANANA PEPPERS) His sister got the "it's a wrap" and she enjoyed it. His mom got the "cougar bait tacos" and loved them. Can't remember what everyone else got because I was on the other side of the table, but everyone enjoyed it. Overall fantastic food! really interesting items. There are so many things on their menu I want to try. I just would probably go on a day they are not so busy. ---- Last notes, their games operate off of tokens that they have machines for that take $1, $5, $10, $20 & it's 25c for each token technically. During my visit, both were out of order so the hostess said that you have to go to the bar and you can swipe your debit card in exchange for tokens, which is a little inconvenient so we didn't do that. But no biggie. I had 4 tokens because it took $1 so she got to play Pac-Man twice and she was happy lol Additionally parking is a little rough when they are busy. Overall great place. Be patient. And maybe try a Thursday instead haha

My last visit was with several co-workers. The apps - besides the pretzel bites - of fried pickles and buffalo chicken egg rolls were devoured. The beer selection and tots also impressed them. This is a great spot for burger lovers. The burgers are filling. I left half of mine on the plate. If you've got someone to split with, consider it. RecBar is super casual, local, and unique. Service is typically laid back and friendly. Private room available for groups - and you can reserve a table for 25 on the main floor if you'd prefer not to book a party.

We came in time for happy hour and didn't have an issue getting a large patio table in the shade, plus one of each of the promoted appetizers. Those items were probably my favorite - the pretzels with beer cheese, the wings, and queso with chips. I spotted a couple of friends, ordering the fish and fries. Several others, including myself, ordered pizza. I opted for the hand tossed pepperoni pizza with hot honey. I'm quite wimpy when it comes to spice and this was not overly hot for me. Blind Squirrel continues to shine for its patio dining, beers, volleyball courts, and live bands. However, the food is only average and not a place that I would recommend for meals.

You can sit indoors -- either at the bar counter or at one of several tables -- or outdoors -- at one of many plastic tables and chairs under a large tent they keep erected just outside the building. There's a pool table and ping pong table you can pay to play on, and a weekly karaoke event if you want stuff to do while you drink. The bartender was very knowledgeable about their craft options and happy to talk about them to help you pick your favorite. You can even get a little sampler glass to help you decide. Overall a very nice place to grab a drink or two if you're in the Lyndon area or even just looking for a bar with an easy, casual vibe.
