It's been way too hot to take Gypsy many places lately--and since she firmly believes shoes are an infringement upon her civil dog liberties--we've been waiting for the weather to break. It finally did, so off to Trellis Brewing we went. And what a happy little discovery. The outdoor space is fantastic: family-, kid-, and dog-friendly, surrounded by old buildings that give the whole area a cool, nostalgic, industrial vibe. They've done a really great job with the space. Inside, you'll find a mix of tables and booths, friendly people, and a laid-back atmosphere that feels genuinely welcoming rather than just saying it's welcoming. I also love that Trellis embraces the whole kids + parents + dogs brewery situation. You can't always get a babysitter, and so smart!!. More importantly: the beer is very good, and so is the food. I had the smashburger and fries, my husband had a Banh mi Dog, and we shared the pickled vegetables--which were tangy & delish . Everything was reasonably priced, and the service was bright, friendly, and helpful. It is counter service, but honestly, it fits the casual atmosphere perfectly. Bonus points: dogs are welcome inside, too. They just can't be on the couches, which seems like a perfectly reasonable boundary even though Gypsy may disagree. Gypsy had an excellent evening, made approximately 47 new friends, and thoroughly approved. I could absolutely see us becoming regulars here. Great beer, good food, cool space, dogs welcome. I'm sold. read more

Had a trip to a friend's mother's funeral and ended up stopping at Trellis in Louisville. This is one I had not tried before in Louisville (usually go to Atrium nearby). The brewery space is large. It sits in a old building, has a decent outdoor space, and is very artistic, including murals on the side of a building. I don't know Louisville that well, but I would guess this is an arts district. Feel free to drop a note if I am off. Parking is ample, as well, so no issue. THere were plenty of people in here when I arrived, but it did not feel that full, which is nice. Dog friendly, kid friendly. Beer is above average. I would not say this is one of the very top of the Louisville beer scene, but what I had was very good. read more

Plenty of parking & seating. Ample selection of beers. Beers are a bit pricy, especially as prices don't include tax and most are 12oz pours. It's a nice place to come every once in a while, but definitely not one we could afford to be at more often. read more

Came by Monday evening! Not busy at all. A good amount of customers. I really liked the vibe here. Great music and a TV showing something from the 80s. Tons of natural light and plants. Outdoor area is large, tons of seating, graffiti, and plants too. I ordered the combo/meal deal: hot dog with fries and a drink. I wasn't initially planning on doing that since I was hoping to take my food to go. But the bartender recommended it and told me I could get a drink while I waited for my food. Really nice guy. Patient too as I didn't really know which drink to choose. I tried el morado. It was in a cool mug that I was tempted to ask whether it was for sale. Food wise, I got the chili cheese dog and calamari plate. The snap of the hot dog was nice! Tells you that dog is quality. The chili was nothing to write home about. But it's not a bad choice. It's not that messy either. I liked the calamari plate. It comes with fried pickles and jalapeños. Much more pickle forward than calamari. But still delicious with the lemon aioli on the side. I bought a 4-pack to take home too. Excited to try it! I'm not huge into craft beer anymore but the space is nice. Great place to hang. Parking is in a gravel lot. Not really marked so I parked next to other cars. read more

First time enjoying the delicious food & alcohol beverages at this fun micro-brewery. We ordered at the counter with friendly staff, found our clean table with our coaster pager, after a short wait,while enjoying our beverages the buzzer sounded, we picked up our delicious lunch. The decor is clever, relaxing, & enjoyed the sofa seating area. We enjoyed the Smash Burgers with fries & steak fries. The hot dogs looked delicious, one customer recommended the vegan hot dogs (next visit). There is also beer to buy & take home to enjoy at a later time. read more

This is such a fun and pretty spot. You walk up and see a massive patio complete with large swinging benches. Inside is equally spacious and welcoming. The happy hour hot dog special was especially nice and the perfect amount. The fries were seasoned, which I love, and the hot dog was grilled and delicious. Highly, highly recommend coming - especially with a group of friends to play games with. We brought our own, but it would be cool if they had some at the brewery! read more

Love the fresh layout here as they manage to fill in the traditionally large warehouse space that we are familiar with as far as breweries go, with lovely touches of inviting furniture, natural light, and plants! Lots of plants. Definitely take a second to check out their little garden outside. I ordered a shrub, a non-alcohol classic of bubbles, a fruit simple syrup, and vinegar. I actually love a shrub (and they are great for your tummy). I might not get on here again. While, overall, the flavor was nicely balanced, something about it tasted just a tad off, maybe stale? It did come from the tap, pre-made, so maybe has something to do with that... They did release a new menu soon! I tried the cheesesteak. The flavor of the beef was good, but it was tough, borderline chewy. The cheese sauce was delicioius, a really well-developed flavor. And the sprinkle of herbs on top added a nice freshness. Though, solely because of the meat texture, I'd probably skip this in the future. Maybe go for cheese fries, so you can enjoy the sauce! read more

Trellis Brewing sets amongst vacant and broken buildings, offering a spot to relax with friends and family (even the younger ones). They have several tables inside and I appreciated snagging a couch with my husband while we enjoyed a beer. If you like red lager, choose Field Day. On Saturday and Sunday their food truck is open. Hot dogs are their main feature and they offer a few sides or a smash burger. We ordered plain dogs, a pickled egg and broccolini. I knew better than to hope for something better, but I did anyway - small portions and skinny dogs. We were starving an hour later, but had already spent too much at Tellis. If I'm here again, I'll keep it to drinks only. Large parking lot and easy to find street parking nearby. Dogs welcome. read more

This spot is very cool, big industrial vibe. They lean into the greenery and plants around and it makes it so comfy. The canned beers are so good and such a deal! I like to stock up on the unique flavors and sours they have. Also the art on each can is unique and local! Not a standing food option but sometimes they have popups. read more

Cool industrial spot with fun wall art. Enjoyed their home-made shrub for a unique non-alcoholic option. Nice outdoor seating, and I HIGHLY recommend checking out the vintage market next door before or after you stop in here! read more

Trellis is such a vibe, inside and out! I visited this morning for a pilates class that happens the first Sunday of the month. A lot of other community events happen here, run club on Wednesdays, trivia nights, flea markets, etc. The inside is so spacious and has a lot of seating. The outside is an awesome hangout spot. I am a big fan of the Cherry Sour Jaunt. read more

Trellis Brewery has surprisingly good BBQ! My friend and I ordered the Smoked Brisket sandwich and Crispy Potatoes. Both tasted good, but the Brisket was the standout! The meat was thick-sliced with a good toasted bun and crispy tangy cole slaw. It was a hearty portion! The potatoes tasted fine and was a hearty portion... but $9 potatoes are a bit pricy The interior is a modern hip lounge with ample seating, and the outdoor area was more industrial. It's a neat place that I'd definitely revisit. read more

Had the breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon) and a cold brew coffee. They don't have any fixings for the coffee, but the bartender let me use their simple syrup, so that was much appreciated. The bar has a good amount of space both inside & out, with both covered & uncovered outside tables. They are welcoming to both run groups & bike rides, so after the ride I had a margarita slushy which was just the right amount of tart. All in all, a great place to hang out and/or meetup. read more

Great food, watch out for breakfast sandwich I got eggs runny all over me but it was delicious mimosas were tasty and the salad was nice crunchy and fresh, good dressing :) Burger was tasty too! Great before we went to derby! read more

New Brewery that just recently opened on Logan Street. It is a little hidden so you will really have to look but, when you see it, you will know. They have a huge gravel parking lot, not really a fan of that. They have inside and outside seating. Walking up to the bar and ordering was a little confusing at first but, got the hang of it. I wasn't sure what to order but, the bar tender was helpful enough and asked what beers I typically like. I went with a Mexican Lager (I forget the name) I actually liked that one. You can get big pours and small pours here. They don't have food but, if you follow them on Facebook, they will post what food trucks will be in on what nights. I do like this newer brewery and I do intend on visiting again. read more

Interesting post-industrial location that reminds me of the ruins of a lost land. Beer is excellent, off the beaten path. Hope they add a food truck here ASAP! read more

First time at Trellis was on a Wednesday around 7pm. Pulling in from Logan Street, it was not easy to initially see where they were. Trellis is tucked in the back of the lot. You first see a building on Logan St that looks like it could collapse or could be in a zombie movie. There is ample parking in a large gravel lot. Water station is one of the first things I saw walking in (always nice to have). Pretty long bar, which is where we sat. Didn't like the lack of a foot bar on the actual bar, but the stool had one. There's a clip under the bar where a purse (or dog leash) can be secured. The place was pretty loud with not a lot of people inside (I imagine it gets really loud when crowded). Dogs were barking from time to time. We were greeted quickly and got our beers without waiting long. I asked for a half pour of a Smoketown and my husband ordered something that starts with S (kind of an easy drinking session-type beer). I was given a large mug of beer that appeared and tasted just like my husband's (so I don't think I got the Smoketown unless it's identical to the S word beer). Beer was fine, no complaints there. Wanted to get some hummus, but bartender didn't return until we were nearly finished with our beers. There was some sort of food truck outside, not sure what they were serving. Plenty of room inside and outside on patio. Interesting graffiti outside (saw "pee pee poo or die" spray painted on the concrete wall). Music was what most breweries play (hipster brewery rock, if that's a genre), and it wasn't too loud. Bathrooms: they have gender specific bathrooms with a shared sink in between. Men's is the first door and Women's is down the hall and to the right (no symbol or indication when staring directly at the door). [Of note, do not be like me and open the door that says FIRE ALARM Control System Inside.] Women's room had two small stalls and a wheelchair accessible stall. Clean inside since they are new. No paper towels, just air blaster for drying. To return to bar area, there's a door handle to turn (so bring a tissue if you don't like touching things after washing). They have one TV that was showing a walk through a Japanese train station and strolling down the city sidewalk. It looked like they only have one type of bourbon (Jim Beam). Don't go: if you don't like dogs, if you are sensitive to loud noise, you want to watch sports, or you want to try a variety of bourbons with your beer. Do go: if you like fresh new breweries with a good selection of beers, need a spacious place for lots of friends to hang out, love dogs, like trying new places in Louisville, and enjoy brewery music. read more

Decided to explore trellis brewing for the Sunday trivia. It was our first time in the space. It was kind of surprising because you're in a gravel parking lot next to an abandoned building but trellis is this cute building that has been redone fabulous patio. There's plenty of space outside and space inside. It's a great location to be able to work from home, read, or just hang out with friends. The interior is cozy and comfortable. The bar is well marked. And they have great options. Also, the bathroom was fascinating with a very industrial look. I thought it was great to share the sink area between the bathrooms. It was such a beautiful area and I really enjoyed the ambiance with friends. read more

Trellis Brewing is a delightful brewery in the heart of Smoketown. The owners hold a wonderful passion of supporting the community and local agriculture with magical ingredients being sourced from Kentucky and Indiana. The brewery itself serves as a warm and inviting place for everyone. The intentionality put into restoring and repurposing an old building is evident in every element. Sitting off Beargrass Creek, they even partnered to bring in native plant species and I'm excited to see how their outdoor space expands. For now though, it's perfect as-is. Ample, locally hand crafted, custom seating provides space for everyone indoors, and the outdoor space is filled with tables, benches, and good ole porch swings. Dog and kiddo friendly space. The indoor couches even offer carabiners to clip in your furry companions. Oh, and I've gotten this far and forgot to mention the beer - duh - it's delightful! Simple and something for everyone - from crushable lagers to hoppy IPAs to citrusy witbiers. Prefer wine or non-alcoholic beverages - they have those options, too!  Absolutely recommend you give the wonderful team at Trellis a spin. read more

Trellis Brewing - Inside - Breweries Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

In the past year, Trellis has quickly evolved from shiny new thing to regular in the rotation, and it's now very much in the realm of top-three-places-I-think-of if I'm contemplating a happy hour. It really hits a home run on the things that matter -- good beer, good prices, good space and vibe, good service. Its lack of a regular food menu is perhaps its most obvious flaw, but it has made up for it by regularly scheduling pop ups, and the brain trust here certainly knows you don't do well as a business by just setting up a row of taps and hoping for the best. They host running and biking and yoga groups, and more recently they've become a regular partner with the Flea Off, which is a great pairing, given their massive outdoor space. Locals will remember the several iterations of Re-Surfaced, an urban initiative to highlight opportunities in underutilized city spaces. This business feels like it's doing just that. Bonus points also for their embracing muralists and tree plantings, and taking ownership of their green space next to Beargrass Creek. Ideally I'll find myself drinking in the shade of a tree overlooking the creek one of these days. read more

What a hidden gem! I've never been here until I attended for a pop up the other week and I love it! It's a great joint for a plethora of unique beer options (even wine), that surely will satisfy your craving. It's a cool looking space that has a good amount of seating. I've only been when it's cold, but they do have what appears to be an amazing outdoor seating/patio area. I can't wait to go back during warmer months to check it out! read more

I hate the beer. I absolutely despise it with every fiber of my being. Its literally the worst tasting beer I've ever had in my life and I used to drink Beast and MD2020. However I love this space and everything about it. Service is always on point. Make the beer better. read more

I was stoked to hear about the newest brewery in my hood. What a spectacular use of an otherwise bombed out space. I am excited to see what else they do with it; there is so much potential! The outside is massive and while there isn't a ton of shade, this will be such a perfect spot for the fall! The inside vibe is comfy and open...and dogs are welcome to join you too. Loads of parking available in their gravel lot! They do not have a kitchen but offer Meesh Meesh snacks for purchase daily and if you're lucky there may be a food truck outside as well. read more
