I had gone to this eccentric bar for their free crawfish night sponsored by Moondog, such a great…read moreexperience! 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!

If I could give a negative star review I would very much do so. My family traveled in from western…read moreKentucky to enjoy my cousin's wedding and had just finished the reception dinner when we were looking to find somewhere to catch up, as we all work busy lives and never truly get to see each other as much as we like. Now, stepping out of the Uber with my dad and uncle I am let with a very disgruntled brother because whoever was running the joint asked to check IDs of him and his wife, and was auto rejected. Mind you it was around 1 am... But they're business hours say open until 4am. It quickly devolved from there. My family wanted to know why they were rejected. Not a harmful question by any means. Instead of practicing a proper business model the workers or... Frankly whatever they are, proceeded to rage bait my family, and pull out phones to video the scene for whatever reason than to make themselves out as some sort of victims of circumstance? They called my brother a "privileged white boy" and then proceeded to devolve in middle school insults towards our mother who wasn't even present at the time... I cannot even begin to tell you the Jerry Springer/Dr. Phill shinanigans that went on last night at the Pearl.... But like many fancy pearls that are taken in for appraisal, this bar turned out to be a disgraceful imitation of what the city of Louisville is meant to be. After telling the people who worked at the establishment to please just go inside and lock their doors to stop further antagonizing my family, the man with the horrible bald fade and limp pancake hair flipped my dad off behind the glass door. If you want drama and a scene? This is the bar for you. If you're looking for somewhere quiet to share a couple drinks and catch up with family... Steer. Clear. This is not a place where human beings are treated fairly.

This spot has more of a diner feel with its white tile, old school table and chairs and bright lights. It's like a diner wIth a bar and pool table. Our bartender was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Cheap drinks, fast service. They hold your credit card if you leave your tab open, tip needs to be added before you run it so don't forget to take care of the people that took care of you. Some TVs to watch a game and I appreciated it was the quieter bar of the night. I'd grown tired of yelling my conversation.

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.

This place is 21 and up as far as I know. I sat at the bar and got prompt service. They have a selection of local and big name beer as well as their signature cocktail and shot. I had an opportunity to try the Sweet Tart shot which was pretty good. Bar service was excellent. Only downside, no food other than bags of chips. This is a cool little spot with different seating options and a small patio outside. They do have movie nights here on weekends, follow their Facebook for what's playing. I definitely will return here. It's definitely a great fun adult atmosphere.

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.

I first came to this bar in 2019 when it opened. I absolutely loved the vibe of the place. I…read moreintroduced my friend to this place and now we are loyal patrons at least once a week if that. We mostly love coming here because it is 21 and up and we can be adults here. Other reasons: they have different flavored Margaritas of the week and every Tuesday was $5 Margs and they had a taco food truck here as well. Not sure if they still do that. We also love coming here for the pinball games (they switch out periodically) and the patio in the back we absolutely love. This place certainly faced its challenges during and after the pandemic. They have bounced back tremendously and with that came some changes. My biggest kicker, they haven't had updated Merch for sale for a very long time. Kinda noticed the change about maybe 2 years ago. For the past 2 years there have been no Derby stickers (something they started in 2020). They have done derby shirts for the past 2 years but, no stickers. I also collected their own stickers as well, there haven't been any new ones for a while. This is really my only kicker here. Idk what's changed or if it's not in their budget but, merch does bring in money. I also miss Potato the bar cat. I asked someone a long time ago what happened to Potato and a bartender told me the owners moved. I hope they can bring in new merch at some point and new stickers lol. They also used to post on Facebook what food trucks would be coming each night so, someone has dropped the ball on that. The staff here is very wonderful and my friend and I adore them. We are treated like we belong here and don't feel out of place. Even the patrons make us feel welcome. This is one of the few bars we go to where most everyone is laid back and is not too rowdy for us. Maybe late at night but, for the most part, we love it here. This is definitely a neighborhood bar worth visiting. Laid back, not rowdy and everyone is made to feel welcome. We love it for the most part but, hoping they can improve some things I have mentioned in this review.

The watermelon, which was lightly dressed, was such a nice compliment to the shrimp. Also, the bartender sleighed my spicy Bloody. A delightful Sunday spend on their back patio.
