When first entering I notice that it's filled with decor and just something to look at, at every corner. The service at the bar is quick & all the way to the back outdoors is where they had their event with the boil and chill people that would chat with anyone. I was apprehensive about going alone, but it was such great exposure therapy especially since everyone was so kind & talkative! When I went up to get my serving I didn't know seasoning it was even an option, but I got it each time!! They scooped a generous amount for me & tossed it in a Vietnamese chili sauce, it was phenomenal. I've never eaten it that way before, but glad to experience it! The servings were huge & they allowed me to get 3 helpings!!! When talking with the locals I was told they do free dinners numerous nights, and would love to visit again! Such a great time!

Its too bad that I am likely moving away from Louisville. As I have found myself a dive bar that I…read moreTRULY love. My daughter was visiting so we decided to do a dive bar crawl. Atmosphere is perfect dive bar. But was amazed that when I ordered a Manhattan, came in a nick and nora glass and pretty sure she used Cochi Torino for the vermouth!

I honestly thought I drove past this place that it was just a neighborhood home. It's not flashy or…read moreobvious, and I realized that's just part of the charm. They have great prices on draft beers, service is friendly & so wonderful. I do wish the music was a bit quieter so I could talk with my friends rather than consistently having to say "what?" but I also realize that I am more sensitive to sound than most.

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.

We're fans of Hauck's Corner, so when a family member decided to have her birthday lunch there we…read morewere up for a repeat visit. Same process, order and pay at the bar. Then when your "puck" lights up, get your order at the pickup window. Like all restaurants, Hauck's does some things better than others. Their burgers are excellent. If you're into smoked wings (I'm not), they're very good. Served hot, crispy, and not soggy. The sticky ribs appetizer were also excellent. I decided to try something other than a burger and went with the Big Brisket Dip. Smoked brisket, caramelized onions, cheese, horseradish aioli, and a side of au jus served on a hoagie bun. I added a side of steak fries. Hauck's nailed it. An excellent sandwich and crispy fries. I had hoped to take half home, but I just couldn't put the darn thing down. My wife ordered Dirty Nachos. They were a disappointment. Queso drenched chips? Nope. Black beans? Few and far between. A touch of pico. We added chicken (it was shredded). Some dry cheese (not melted). And a spicy aioli. Not at all what was described. The dish was so dry I thought it was designed to encourage ordering more beer to wash it down. Oh well, every time at the plate can't be a hit. One of the best things about Hauck's is the fun vibe. Lots of indoor/outdoor seating. Tons of games to keep little ones busy. And very pet friendly. We brought our Barkley, and he got to hang with two new friends, beautiful Collies.

Merryweather is a fantastic local spot that just happens to be a tiki bar but tucked right in the…read moremiddle of a neighborhood. The bartenders are excellent, and the drinks are a total blast. They put their spin on tiki classics. Try the pandan painkiller if you want a creamy almond forward drink. If you love sweet, and fruity tiki drinks, this is the place to go if you're in Germantown. They do them well and that's exactly why I love it.

Every time I go to the Merryweather I wind up having such a good time. The staff is awesome - they…read moreknow they're stuff, their quick, polite, down-to-earth and always have something fun playing on the TVs and speakers. I personally just love the indoor space - moody, dark, always filled with interesting people. I never have problem striking up a conversation and nine times out of ten, it's a really good one. I honestly find that rare nowadays. The ghost kitchen might be my favorite part. I recently finally got Gladwell's wings at their Sunday pop-up. DELICIOUS. Well cooked, generesouly sauced. Tender chicken, but with hints of crispy edges. The buffalo garlic sauce was perfection, unique in that it had a little more depth in the flavor than a typicaly buffalo, but not so far off that you're missing out on good ol' fashioned bar eats.

The fries are proper chippies, thick square cut and long. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. And there are so many dips to choose from. Salads are crisp and light and a marvelous side.

We had a couple cocktails in here and the service was excellent even though it appeared they were filled to capacity. There were 4 of us in our party and we were seated at a table in the corner near the bar. Was definitely a cozy spot with so many people being in there and the bar being full. I had The Holy Ghost cocktail and it was a pomegranate hibiscus sour, it had just the right amount of sour! I do not like bitter drinks and this one was good and easy to drink. My husband had a couple of dark beers, I do not remember which ones but he liked them. They had a nice outdoor area but it was a bit too cool for that but it may be worth a return in the Spring to check it out. Bathroom was also really cool as the decor and theme spilled over into it.

Canary Club is technically a wine bar, but if you're not coming here for the cocktails, you're…read moredoing it wrong. This place has become one of my favorite cocktail spots in Germantown. There's a bartender named Yan who used to run this challenge where he'd make you a cocktail and only charge you if you liked it, he was really good at what he does. He's the one who introduced me to the Paper Plane, which is now one of my all-time favorite cocktails. I'm not sure if he's still there, but the other bartenders seem pretty good too. Just tell them what you're in the mood for and let them guide you. Here's what I got recently: The Dark Bar Princess: a must if you like something sweet and fruity. I'd say it's lime-forward with a strong pomegranate presence, and the gin completely disappears into it. Super refreshing and really easy to slam. Highly recommend this one. The Day Disco: a mezcal cocktail with a chili rim that brings real smokiness and heat. It's got a little sweetness to balance it out, but the mezcal is definitely there. I've never loved mezcal so this is just "pretty good". Monkey Drive shot: It smells and tastes artificial, like heavy fake banana, almost chemical. Not their strong suit. On the food side, I can definitely recommendthe Machada empanada for $6. Beefy, cheesy, and one of the best bar snacks they have supposedly. The bartender told me it's their biggest crowd-pleaser and I agree. Overall, would recommend this spot
