I'm not sure that I even want you to know about this place because it's the kind of bar that you…read morewant to stay exactly the way it is and NOT change one bit. I learned of this bar last fall when my dad and I threw a co-birthday party (he turned 70 and of course I was turning 21 for the 20th time, ha!) and since it's his favorite neighborhood watering hole we decided to host it there. All I can say is I have zero regrets! First of all, the folks that work here are very nice and while they obviously know whether you're a regular or not...they welcome you and treat you kindly either way. The drink prices are hard to beat too! They might not have the fanciest beverages in town but if you can't find something to sip on here then I think you should just stay home. Ok, here's the part I'd rather not tell you about but I guess I will just to give more props to Old Rascals. They have karaoke on 2 nights every week. Yep!! And the karaoke dude, Steve, is truly a gem! He's super nice and makes you feel like you're part of the family. I'm serious. I mean I feel like I'm ready for American Idol based on his complimentary reactions to my performances. Oh, and even if there is a long list of singers (which there often is), he is fair with the rotation. What a nice relief for a karaoke bar, AMIRIGHT?!? The catalog of songs is basically infinite as far as I can tell, and if he doesn't know a song he'll let you help him search for it...because he wants YOU TO BE HAPPY! There are 2 microphones for your use, one of which is wireless. He even brings cleaning wipes in case you're a bit of germ-a-phobe and want to clean the mic off for your turn. Of course, if you aren't into karaoke it's still a chill little spot to pop into for a drink or two when you're not trying to go wild on the nightlife scene. Everyone who hangs out here is friendly. And I don't mean fake smile, nosy ass neighbor type vibes...I mean genuine humans who are just happy to be there and glad to welcome you to their bar too. I cannot believe I've only just now found my new (not in my) neighborhood bar after all these years. My dad really held out on sharing this one. I love this place! PRO TIP: Do not show up here trying to be a total hipster, expecting something trendy, and/or looking for any bar drama. Old Rascals doesn't throw that type of party. You're welcome for sharing this Louisville secret with you. Now don't tell anyone else. :)

I have lived in the Beechmont area for almost 2 years now and pass Old Rascals quite often, but…read morehave never stopped in. My friends and I decided to stop in on a Thursday night. The place was not crowded at all, which was nice, because it gave us a chance to really see what it has to offer. I was the only female in the place that night, so I am guessing the men to women ratio is high ;) When you walk in you will be surprised to see how clean this place is! The bartender was so friendly and made me feel welcome. They have 2 dart boards and a shuffle board/bowling machine, which was really fun. Friday and Saturdays is karaoke, and another night of the week, I believe Tuesday is trivia night. If you play Keno they also have that. This is a neighborhood bar where they treat you like a friend and you can get a cheap beer. I am going back to check out karaoke this weekend.

We absolutely love this place. It's a great neighborhood watering hole with a fantastic back patio…read more Dogs aren't just welcomed here- they are loved here! There's a food tent in the back that serves great food and are fun folks!

I've only been here twice, once during the pandemic and it was outside seating only (glad those…read moredays are over). And recently, getting on a shuttle bus to Tailspin Ale Fest. It is a small neighborhood bar that has quite some years on it and you can tell. I was greeted by the hosts for the shuttle bus and got a complimentary beer for choosing Nachbar as my pick up location. I did get my complimentary beer and left a generous tip. They had Nords Donuts for food for this event. Beer and Donuts? Very odd combination, was hoping for The Post Pizza or something that was real food. It was free so no complaints other than it was an odd combo. Note: they don't serve food at Nachbar. The inside is kinda dated and there is good seating. Bathrooms are set up like Mag Bar and Kerns Korner. IFYKYK. The outside is more spacious than the inside. They do have a nice patio. As for the inside it looks cool and they have plenty of board games and plenty of local beer on taps that you don't see at most bars. I wouldn't come here on a regular basis but, the local beer selection is a hit with me.

So, I visited Mag Bar with my adult kids kind of as a jokey dare…read more We sat at the bar and had a cocktail, chatted with the really cool bartender, did some people watching, visited the back patio, and documented the mind-blowing bathroom graffiti. I felt old and young all at the same time. I hope this place is always here.

What a great dive! I come here pretty frequently for shows and the atmosphere is always so great!…read more Most recently saw Pravus Warlord and the entire show was phenomenal! Free earplugs, strong drinks, and plenty of head banging. Genuinely the mosh pit here is always popping, and of course everyone remembers their mosh etiquette as people will help you up if you fall, and ask if you're okay if you seem hurt. I'm the friend that holds everyone's glasses and watches from the side though so if moshing isn't your thing, still come for the music and punk vibes. (I personally love watching people express themselves through moshing, I think it's such a beautiful raw expression of emotions!) The bar area has a few booths but is pretty small, but the back room where the shows are held is pretty spacious but fills up quickly. There's also a back patio! Ultimately, Mag bar is a great spot for a show, a drink, and some good ass music.

Kennedy used the bar's speaker system to publicly call us out over a 20% tip. Told us to use the ATM to tip more.

Well sitting here waiting for game 1 of the NHL finals to start…read more The people running this place have all been really nice, efficient and attentive. This place is a little different for a sports bar, but in a decent way, chill and fancier vibe than a normal sports bar. It's has an open area but with multiple areas /room to escape and converse if needed. Two bars and couches in front of a biggest TV in bar I believe. I had a burger and fries, burger was very good, when I say a good burger, it alone was worth the visit, fries were fries, I just don't like these type of fries. If in the area and looking for something decent you can't go wrong, well at least I didn't on this visit, will go back for sure. Hope you enjoy as I did.

Hidden gem? This bartender from another place told me to go here and get the breakfast burger and…read moreholy mother. it was amazing. vibes in here are pretty chill. The other patrons of the bar were really nice and everyone seemed to know everyone. Service was pretty cool too.

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.

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.
