The other patrons of the bar were really nice and everyone seemed to know everyone. Service was pretty cool too. V accommodating. idk what it was. maybe the maple aioli in the burger just hit. idk. thick, juicy burger cooked to perfection with an egg on top. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. probably one of the best burgers i've ever had. The drinks were pretty good too. not really sure what else to put here other than go try it for yourself.

My husband and I came in to eat on a very big game night. While not packed from side to side, the…read morecouches and bar areas were full of game watchers and friends visiting. We ordered a lot of food nachos, wings, and the pulled pork sandwich. The brussel sprouts were amazing. The pulled pork was a little salty but the wings made up for it. The nachos were also great. I did wish they had a better drink selection with some ciders as an option, but I drank white claws instead. We would watch a game here any time.

I'm genuinely disappointed writing this review…read more On Sunday night, I stopped into 3rd Street Dive and had a great time. 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.

They rearranged the space to accommodate the wedding and guests. The drinks we agreed on in the contract were delicious and they were happy to make the cocktails alcohol free for those guests who were nondrinkers. Overall, we had a lovely experience, and I would certainly recommend the venue.

Fantastic atmosphere but it is FREEZING…read more It's a large room with that library feel, but they decorate it so well that it doesn't feel too big. All the windows are wonderful but also make it so so cold in there you need to dress warm or you won't last long. There is a fire place in the center but it doesn't emit any heat unless you touch it. This is a great place to work at, catch up with a friend, or digest a drink. I think the drink service starts at 3 but the room is available way before that. It's off the left of the lobby and will have people working in it during the day.

Very chill spot and an eclectic crowd -- lots of options for cocktails and even some mocktails. I had a quirky cocktail that was very different and very delicious. I think some of the drinks are batched so you can't modify them all, but I promise they are GOOD. Our bartender was knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment based on what I was looking for in my drink.

Even pointed out there was an upstairs ((which wasn't aware of)) I placed my order: peppermint mocha & a sausage egg cheese croissant. Neither disappointed! They also have seasonal cocktails as well.

This place was also down the block from our Airbnb so we could walk there. They had a lot of boozy coffee drinks and I really like that. I decided to try their Espresso Martini. This was our last bar stop prior to going out to dinner with friends. My drink had a house made espresso, Absolut vodka, Borghetti (coffee liqueur), a rich simple syrup, and coffee beans. 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. We will have to come back here and with all the coffee drinks they had this may well be the place to start our day next time.

You can tell a lot of care goes into the menu and overall experience. The menu consist of small plates , pizzas , salads and sandwiches , and dishes with bourbon incorporated!

(1879-1880) The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Whether you're going for a casual night out, date night, or drinks with friends, this place is definitely worth visiting. We can't wait to come back and try the food!
