    Some of the kindest staff in all of Louisville. As an Irishman born and reared I felt very at home in a cozy snug pub vibe, with wooden furnishings and a dart board in the corner. The food was excellent, and a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Definitely not as greasy as you'd expect from typical pub grub. Highly recommend the spice bag and wish I could have extended my trip and tried the vindaloo! Plenty of variety in the menu, with frequent specials too. Come for the libations and food, stay for the atmosphere - you will feel right at home!

    We were fans of Pints and Union when it was in IN and are so thrilled it's on our side if the river now! This is a perfect spot for them, it's so warm and cozy inside. Our food and drinks were wonderful abd the service was great. I didn't get a chance to see what the upstairs looked like so we will definitely be back!

    As soon as you open the doors to Pints and Union you realize, this isn't your regular local bar. Even if I'd never been to an English pub, I'd imagine this would be the closest I'd get to an authentic one. Packed with charm, a mixture of furnishings , original flooring, and interesting wall decor, I felt this is where you'd go to have a nice cold point and wait for all of this to blow over. Now, to get to what you're probably looking for, the food. Let's establish that as the menu says, this is a curry house, if curry isn't your speed, there are plenty of options. Our table enjoyed the Scotch Eggs, fish and chips, hummus and burgers. Everything was excited nicely. Fish was crispy and of large portion, the scotch eggs were flavorful with a nice "schmear" of a mustard sauce that was tart but not overpowering. My girls loved the burgers. I hope to try their stews at some point. The only glitch we had in service and it wasn't even a glitch, was that we had to ask for the ketchup and our server more than made up for that. If that's a problem, I'll take it. With any opening, grace should be given to allow for things to settle in. I look forward to many nights looking out onto the streets of Bardstown Rd from a cozy corner of the bar.

    So I have enjoyed Pints & Union since they were in the original location. I was excited when heard they were coming to Bardstown Rd. There is so much to love about this place. For me, the stand out is the ambiance. The new location is very cozy and reminds me of a pubs that I sat in when I was in Ireland. I really enjoy the food and most of all I get to enjoy my favorite beer there. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to many more visits.

    Beef Stew with two Harp Lagers and a Fullers ESB. Perfect on a cold night!

    I was a fan of Pints&Union in their old location, but I am thrilled to have them in Louisville now! We were able to finally go for dinner and were greeted by a friendly staff and warm environment. We have been looking for that "pub" atmosphere and they have nailed it! The beers were great, and the food was amazing. The Chicken Spice Bag may be my favorite thing there now! My husband got the spicy schnitzel sando and my daughter got chicken vindaloo that was a little spicy but she loved every bit. I got the special beef stew and it was so good I barely needed the bread. We can't wait to make it back!

    Huge fans of Pints and Union being in our neighborhood! We have been needing a cozy, welcoming place with yummy food and drinks for the Highlands and they are it! Walkable, great menu selection, friendly staff and everything we've tried has been delicious! Definitely recommend. We plan to be regulars!

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. We will be back.

It's creative with a sense of joy, irreverent, one of a kind. And I'm happy to see it last in its spot next to Slugger Field. I got to visit recently when a bunch of friends were in town. We ended up visiting during trivia night, which added a fun twist to the experience. Our team, The Electric Sheep, got second place! And along with the fun vibes, we had great food and beer. I got The Smokehouse OG, which is its pulled pork sandwich served on a Cuban roll. If you like pulled pork, you'll like this sandwich, though typical to their fashion, AtG puts a twist on it with its Brown Note BBQ Sauce. We had to get the pork belly on a stick -- a menu fave.

Jackson, this is a tasty burger! The location is pretty tough to beat with how convenient it is, and how close it is to all downtown has to offer. The atmosphere is industrial but relaxed.

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

I really loved the pork belly slider and the duck tacos. Mac and cheese balls always slap. Then there are the famous duck fat fries. The portion is substantial, I was thrilled with that. Flavor wise they did not change my life like I was hoping they would. Still ate them all. The locale is super unassuming from the street, but inside it is really cool, divey, and broody. The staff was super sweet and helped me get in and out efficiently so I could make it to the game. Would absolutely recommend, would absolutely come back, and would absolutely bring friends here.
