Best spot in Highlands to grab a pint and a bite, trust me when I say this is authentic Bardstown Rd Louisville, for better for worse (mostly better!).
The staff and clientele are regulars and even come visit, from past to present; this is a friendly, family place, and the tastes and menu are diverse and welcoming.
From Czech beer to Asian foods to Americas finest IPAs they have it, along with Sushi rolls and bar bites, from plain to fancy, they have it.
Board games and card games, they have that too.
Come in and say hi today, I’ll be set outside on the patio/sidewalk with a pint and some delicious food.

We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon.
We were a little taken aback that we were the only patrons.
However the food and service were wonderful.
Great prices as well.
We did see a lot of people come by for takeout so that seems to be where they get most of their business.
We tried both their regular food dishes and some sushi all of which was yummy.

Thank you

The yelped food photos looked great and we were looking to eat before hitting the brewery next door.
Walking in, it looks like a dive which is a good sign for us.
We sat at the bar and our server was attentive even though he was also taking care of the other tables. The craft beer selection was plentiful and diverse.
We ordered the jalapeño popper and crab Rangoon apps.
The poppers….
Mehhh.
The crab Rangoon though, AmaZiNg!! So light and crispy.
Not oily.
And the filling is creamy and full of crab.
Excellent!! For an entree we got the Kentucky cheesesteak with fries and Chicken wings, hot, extra crispy. The restrooms…… do a hard pass on those of you can.
