14 Best Dive Bars in Louisville

“Had an amazing time with friends..: cheap beer too!“

“Great people, drinks and food!“

“Awesome place for a variety of beers!“

“What's not to like? Lots of specials throughout the week (Sunday discounted wine, Monday all day happy hour) plus have events like tastings and music. Lots of fun stuff to try, my only quibble is every time I've tried the empanada the dough has been dry but it is a wine bar“

“Great food and drinks, topped by wonderful service. Highly recommend during a stop in Louisville“

“Fun place run by good people, Fantastic bartenders and a great atmosphere. Sunday Sinema is my pick to click !!!“

“I'm going to admit that I did not even know that this place existed until we stumbled upon it after a night out to eat. We wanted to grab another drink somewhere so we just randomly walked in a direction and this place looked interesting so we wanted to try it out! I love the atmosphere of dive bars and they tend to have nicer people there so I was excited to try it!When you walk in, there is a wall of screens on the left all filled with people playing various video games. We went up to the bar, and the bartender was welcoming and friendly and got us our drinks right away. There wasn't a ton of places to sit in the main bar, but I also didn't venture anywhere else in the bar to see if there was additional seating anywhere. But either way, we hopped on a screen to play some video games so we were perfectly content without a table. We had so much fun here!And after reading some other reviews, I realize that there was a whole other floor that we didn't even know about! I would've loved to play some other games, so I will definitely make it a point to get up there next time.“

“Stopped on a Saturday night. They have a great beer selection. I opted for Atrium Kolsh. He got a great burbon from the wide selection. It was a great night to sit on the back deck under the heaters. Spacious seating inside and outside. The staff is friendly and helpful, even on this busy night.“

“So you want a bar with pool tables? Check. There's 5 of them. U want Golden Tee golf? Check. There's 2 of them. You want Darts? Check. There's 2 boards. U want strong and cold drinks with great service? Check. Oh wait you want Friday and possible Saturday night KaraOke? Check, Check..this is tge place for you. And you can also smoke inside. I know all u tree huggers are screaming at me...so this may not be the place for your sensitive feelings. But for the rest of america....hell yeah....so do yourself a favor come check out the sounds. The stage, lights, and sounds is amazing. No food ( the only downside )“

“Stopped by for a bite to eat before I met up with some friends for a show. I had not been since right before they completely shut everything down from the pandemic.The food service and atmosphere was still as great as always. It was a little sad knowing I would not see John's smiling face anymore“

“Went there for my first time today with my husband. He wanted wings and i wanted a burger lol...but we didnt want to go to a chain restaurant so we decided to give this place a shot. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. Service, food, atmosphere, prices!!! We will be back again alot sooner than later!“

“I didn't eat any food, I believe that you can order food, including from the pizza place next door.This bar is really great. It's old school with a history. The beer selection is great. The patio area and stage areas are nice extras. I thought that the staff and patrons were friendly.“

“Loved this little dive bar I actually had to go back in the same day. Good priced drinks, friendly people, clean place, and great bartender. If you like being comfortable and enjoying a drink, this is the place to go. Just didn’t see any draft beers“

“I love this little spot. Growing up, I knew the previous business as well, and I'm glad to see another great dive bar has taken it over. This is my go-to for a whiskey sour because they make it with the egg white (the correct way), and their drinks are always strong, delicious, and reasonably priced. The decor is great as well. Staff is nice, and there is generally a very chill vibe. I will be back.“
