“We had a cheeseburger and we shared the hot wings. We had the wings shaken in buffalo sauce and they were perfect. The cheeseburger was so good and had been hand pattied. The bar had several beers on tap.We had good service and the prices were extremely reasonable!It is a tavern. So it is not too kid friendly.“

Scott Stout we will look you up when we return please give a shout out to the bartender we can’t remember his name ( had a few whiskies ) it was amazing evening definitely a 10 star review“

“cool bunch of comics who are way more inclusive than you might think! I've been going ~2 years and it's always a fun hang. tons of show formats with something new always around the corner.“

“Service is great otherwise, but you're definitely going to wait behind the regulars. Good music, but too loud to enjoy conversation even at the back of bar near the door where it stayed cold from everyone going in and out. I'm willing to give this place a better review because it's obvious in the summer it's a great place to hang out. Dead of winter though- maybe turn the mics down a tad. There's no place except the smoking barn to escape the loud music.“

“Excellent experience and creative cocktails!!!“

“Such a comfortable friendly place!“

“We had a great experience! The buffalo chicken egg rolls are a must get!“

“My favorite weekday drinking dive for over 12 years. Something different every late night to entertain; live music, karaoke, movie night, Jeopardy watch party, weekly cyclist night. Sometimes even just some free drop off pizza from DiOrios. Right on the corner of Germantown and Paristown and just up the street from Old Forester concert hall. This bar is also home of the "Iceberg" , a Titanic inspired cocktail! Some theme decorations (Lego ship!) along the back of bar. Also a great collection of Star Wars figurines on the other half of back bar. Outside food welcome but they do have hot dogs and chili dogs along with a wall of snacks if you need something in your tummy before you throw down some beer etc. Small, but quaint patio in the back. As you head to that patio you'll walk through a cozy movie room that displays posters of past Sunday Cinema movies that are shown there every Sunday at 8. This neighborhood bar doesn't pretend! It's family, it's welcoming, it's a dive, it's fun and so“

“Dear staff, thank you very very much for your great hospitality: We enjoyed your generosity and kindness on 18 february 2025. Very good and fresh made food in a really nice corner! Best regards from Family KERN from Cologne, Rhineland/Germany!😃“

“Went Wednesday and Thursday while staying at The Galt House Hotel but had terrible experience today, Friday, terrible service and nachos so salty we couldn’t eat. Server and manager didn’t seem to care.“

“Amazing beer selection, vibe and owners!“

“This is the first time my partner and I have been to Louisville and we decided to stop by Meta. If you too decide to stop by you'll be met with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The bartenders were so chill and willing to work with us to get our drinks just how we'd like them. Nataleigh and Khryss were super awesome and made my partner and I feel so welcome! Thank you guys so much for making our time in Louisville that much better! We hope to see you again next time we visit!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I’d have a cute little cheese moment—and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. 🧀✨ If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I’ve changed. I’m different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It’s giving "I’m sophisticated but also fun"—the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you’re the mysterious lead in an indie film. 🎭🍷 Final thoughts? Cultured isn’t just a wine & cheese shop—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. 🧀🍷🔥“

“Loved the place!“

“Everyone is welcome great atmosphere and food“

“I stopped by after work for cocktails with my friend. There is always a nice crowd here. The staff is super friendly and seems to remember faces and names of everyone. The cocktails are well made and they seem to have an awesome wine list. I’d love to come back when they have live jazz music!“

“I've known the owner for well over a decade. It's a great place.“

“What a wonderful place! We came to Louisville to celebrate a birthday and decided to stop by and try all the gay establishments while here. This was by far our favorite - warm and welcoming bartenders and lovely locals that made us feel right at home. It was great meeting all of them and I look forward to stopping by the next time I’m in Louisville (and considering how much bourbon flows through that city, it is going to be soon!)“

“Went here to see a show for my partners 21st birthday and the staff were absolutely amazing! Zach was incredibly friendly and helpful, and made a mean cocktail. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for great music and even better drinks!“

“so much fun me and my husband had a blast.“

“Typical dive bar/billiards hall vibe. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the pool tables don't work perfectly. Some of the balls would get stuck in the table and staff would have to come work their magic to release them.“

“The Spicy Burger is the best! Jalapeños and spicy pickles are an awesome combination! Add the seasoned spicy fries, it’s a great combo! Katie made an awesome burger!“

“band nights and atmosphere“

“So much FUN!! Great food. Good vibes. Cheap drinks. Endless selection of karaoke songs to choose from. And friendly staff!“

“Fun trivia on Wednesday’s!“

“The Nugget is hands down the coolest bar in town with strong drinks, good food, ideal service, a number of activities & amusements, and live music. No wonder its a neighborhood favorite with many regulars and the first stop of out of towners!“

“priced just right. You will feel at home here. great service and friendly atmosphere“

“Pretty chill place for a cocktail in one of the newer hotels in downtown Louisville. Friendly staff, abundant choices for hard liquor although it's worth noting that their beer selection is on the small side. Comfortable place to lounge about for a while but drinks are on the spendy side.“

“Hidden gem! Do not hesitate.“

“A huge thank you to The Galt House Hotel in Louisville for the wonderful hospitality during Nick Dittmeier’s stay. The location, service, and comfort were top-notch — a perfect home base for a hometown artist. We’re grateful for hotels that support touring musicians with style and care. 🎶🏨 #NickDittmeier #GaltHouseHotel #LouisvilleProud #TourLife #MusicianFriendly“

“Love this place! Amazing staff 😁“

“We're here during a really busy college football time and the staff are really exceptional. Rachel remembers my stupid pain in the butt order and is so kind to everyone. Rest of the staff is great too. I've been in customer service my whole life and I so appreciate being treated so well. Thanks to Saints. We see you.“

“One of my favorite places to hang out. I always feel safe there. Great prices on drinks wonderful back patio.“

“Great people always a good time at slammers bar where everyone is like family“

“I usually go for a fun night with great drinks, Zach and Jake are my go-to bartenders. I want to leave this review based on Halloween night 10/31/25, it was the best time. I haven't had a great night kike that one here in years. I specifically want the DJ to be recognized because the music was perfect. It wasn't all house and Beyonce like usual, it was a mix of everything that had the crowd going all night. I hope to see more DJs and nights like this going forward.“

“People are really friendly they make u feel at home, the atmosphere is amazing, and they always have great live music, Wednesdays are bingo nights and Thursdays they have open mike, hope to see u all there“

“Absolutely amazing place to hang out and do karaoke. For starters it was very welcoming and drinks are reasonably priced. Lori the bartender is amazing and full spirited, the singers were freaking amazing and enjoyed every minute from walking in to leaving the establishment, talked to a couple of locals and they were super friendly. I was also honored to meet the owner Kenny who is probably one of the best DJ/owner duos I’ve seen in a very long time I definitely can’t wait to visit again it’s not too big nor too crowded but from what I was told it does get pretty crowded but it is definitely worth the drive. Keep up the great work guys and see you soon“

“Unique atmosphere, great cocktails with a wide selection, and the staff was extremely friendly. The owner took the time to give us a little history about the speakeasy and showed us the “special entrance”. Very laid back atmosphere with different rooms for privacy for your group, you can visually see the original wood beams- super cool! Large bourbon selection too!“

“Very great food and atmosphere with good music and people kinda like cheers everybody know your name type place“

“Unique & fun! Always a great time!“
