There's just something about Against the Grain that takes me back to my first years in Louisville…read more It embodies that weird, wonderful Louisville spirit. 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. And for my beer, I tried the El Nopal Mexican lager (cracked up at the name) and Cold Ass Beer red ale. AtG is a Louisville original that's not to be overlooked.

I got the burger in special, the Dirty Burger. Pretty standard burger dressed with their "not so secret" sauce and fancy pickle. Super solid, very well executed. In the words of Samuel L. 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. The staff was so wonderful and personable. Will definitely be back!

Isn't it just the best thing to stumble upon a great restaurant? Noble Funk wasn't on my radar when…read moreI visited Louisville, but now it is! I just happened to drive by and see a restaurant with abundant outdoor seating. What's this place? I though. It turns out, this is a great family-friendly restaurant with lots of cool places to sit, indoors and outdoors. We sat inside, and grabbed a board game to take to our table. They have a few to choose from -- we got Scrabble. The restaurant itself has lots of seating options, from quiet nooks surrounded by greenery to bar seating. To get your food and drinks, you order at the bar, and then someone brings your food to you. Wood-fired pizzas are their thing here, so of course we got a couple of 'em. The pepperoni pizza was amazing. The pepperonis on the pizza are the kind that become like little cups when baked, and hold in all of that juicy, golden grease. Yum yum yum. Betty White holds a special place in my heart, so we ordered The Betty White: a white sauce base, roasted red potatoes, bacon, onions and mushrooms. I don't know what all of those ingredients have to do with Betty White (maybe because it has a white sauce on it?), and it's nothing like crawling under the covers and eating Velveeta right out of the box, but it was fabulous, nonetheless. The pizzas are definitely big enough for two people to share. Noble Funk is a brewery, so they make their own beer here. I got the Daytime Dreamsicle, partially because it's an IPA and I love IPAs, and also because it has amarillo in it, which is intriguing. It was great! You can ask for samples of their beer, if you're not sure what you might want. Noble Funk has great food, great beer, a casual and family-friendly atmosphere, and plenty of space to spread out. What a great restaurant to come across accidentally during my visit to Louisville.

For whatever reason, sours have never really caught on in Louisville, but thankfully, Atrium isn't concerned with what everyone else is doing, their sour game is on point. It doesn't hurt that there's always somewhere cozy to sit, staff are friendly and there's even a really nice outdoor area for when the weather is nice. A few other perks, they rotate features often. There's always something new to try. They have regular events. And there's a food truck out back.

Marvelous atmosphere with an interconnected beer garden in the middle. Stunning food offers that shine on their own and sing louder when paired with their beers. The team at holy grale also bring it all together with incredible service. The burger is incredible, but I always come back for the schnitzel platter. I only wish they had a spaetzle to go with it! 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. I cannot say enough good things. I love the grales.

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. We will be back.

She told us about the various brews on tap. I went with a lite lager. Smooth, full bodied. An easy drink. My wife had an espresso martini. Haley mixed it perfectly. Hungry? Right now they've got a rapid pizza oven. So you can get any pizza you want as long as it's pepperoni, sausage or plain cheese. Down the line, a taco bar will be added. We didn't try the pizza, so no comment there. Once Ten20 gets established, it'll be the Starbucks of breweries. There's a large open area with multiple screens and comfortable couches & lounge chairs. Essentially, conversation pits. The beer's good, you're sure to find a few you like. The food is probably a work in progress, but once word gets out, Ten20 Craft Brewery will be a New Albany hot spot.

Band was still a little too loud to hold a conversation- this is my biggest con. The band was good- just not able to order without loudly talking or repeating self and couldn't really hold a conversation at table due to volume level.

Everything came out hot and fresh. Mac & cheese dishes were so good ( and I'm not a Mac & cheese lover), very filling and full of flavor. Buffalo sauce was kickin! The dish has big chunks of chicken. The hamburger mac & cheese was the best! Loved everything about it. I added mushrooms to it which just made it perfect! BBQ Burger was cooked well, nicely flavored, juicy and loved the home made fries. Service was wonderful. Will absolutely come back!
