Top 5 Best Beer Spots in Louisville

  1. The Irish Rover – The Rover normally keeps 11 beers on tap, with 8-9 being excellent. They also have a great bottle selection that regulars like I know about.

 

  1. Holy Grail – While not a friendly bunch (they all think they are beer experts), the bar has a great selection of beer.

 

  1. Bluegrass Brewing Company – All the beer is locally made and fresh. They change beers throughout the year while always keeping the best such as their Bourbon Barrel.

 

  1. Flanagan’s Alehouse – Excellent selection of draft and a never ending selection of bottled beers.

 

  1. Sergio’s World Beers – At least 1100 different beers in-stock at any given time. What more needs to be said?

Top 5 Bars to grab a Whiskey (Bourbon, American Whiskey, Scotch or Irish Whiskey)

  1. Brown Hotel – They always keep a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle in stock. Made me a believer!

 

  1. Galt House – Over priced, but a beautiful bar with a nice selection.

 

  1. The Bristol – They cater to the “tourist” crowd and keep a nice selection of the “good stuff”.

 

  1. Bourbon Bristol – Probably the best selection of Bourbon in town, hence the name. I rate them second because a bartender admitted they jack the prices because “people are willing to pay it.”

 

  1. The Irish Rover – While I love Bourbon, being a Kentucky Native myself, I enjoy Irish Whiskey and Scotch more. Nobody locally has a better Irish Whiskey selection and very few can rival Mr. Reidy’s Scotch selection.

Top 5 Best Sports Bars in Louisville

  1. Hooters in St. Matthews – Overrated food and drink prices. Then, again, who cares when you are surrounded by hot girls dressed like sluts?

 

  1. Krazy Dave’s – Nobody in Louisville would agree. I picked it because there’s always room; enough TV’s and most bar goers will watch sports elsewhere.

 

  1. Roosters in Middletown – Cheaper than B-Dubbs with tons of TV’s and specials throughout the week.

 

  1. The Brickhouse – Hot girls and unlike Hooters, good food and tons of great imported beers.

 

  1. Buffalo Wild Wings of St. Matthews – Great bar staff and the best managers in Louisville. To this day, best wings in town!

Top 5 Best Sandwiches in Louisville

  1. Jason Deli’s Chipotle Pot Roast – A giant portion of savory pot roast covered with a delicious chipotle sauce. One word – awesome.

 

  1. Tony Bombozz’s the Veggie – I am no vegetarian, however, I would be if all vegetarian food tasted this good.

 

  1. The Irish Rover’s Lamb Burger – Decent price and not overly gamer due to the mix of beef. Best medium rare with blue cheese.

 

  1. The Brickhouse’s Lamb Burger – A little pricey but excellent. 100% Lamb meat with no beef. The goat cheese is awesome.

 

  1. Diorio’s Philly Cheese Steak – Finally, a Louisville restaurant that can actually serve one correctly! None locally even come close to this one.

Top 5 Best Ham/CheeseBurgers in Louisville

Note – I have tried all these places and burgers!

5. Dizzy Whizz – Old school and nothing fancy. Simple, yet delicious.

4. Tumbleweed’s En Fuego Burger – Tons of hot pepper with Frank’s Hot Sauce. Also weighs a whopping half-pound.

3. Backdoor’s Back-burner Burger – Been years since I’ve had one. One thing I recall — great grill flavor and always filling.

2. Bluegrass Brewing Company’s Germantown Burger – Take a 1/3 burger and add beer cheese. That equals yummy.

1. Highlands Taproom’s Kentucky Bluegrass Burger – The plain cheese burgers here are excellent. How to make them better? Had a bourbon glaze and top it with blue cheese. Hands down, the best burger in Louisville.
