40 Best Bar & Grill near New Albany

“very friendly people outstanding karaoke 🤘🏻 and the food delicious“

“The Earl is one of those rare places that hits the sweet spot between dive bar and craft beer hangout, without trying too hard. In the middle of downtown New Albany, it’s got a industrial interior with brick walls, rough hardwood floors, and exposed beams, that still manages to feel warm and personal, im sure helped by the Bill Murray mural and fridge shrine dedicated to him. It’s weird, it’s charming, and it totally works.

Their rotating lineup of local and regional craft beers is always on point. You’ll find something familiar like Country Boy, but also a few wildcards you’ve never seen before. It’s perfect for after work or a laid-back late night drink.

On a personal note, this is where I first told my girlfriend, now wife, that I was falling in love with her. So yeah, for all the cool beers and eccentric charm, and even Bill Murray, I can personally attest that The Earl is also the kind of place where memories are made and actually stick. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Great atmosphere,great owners I met. very helpful. Deck was beautiful outside. loved the outside decor and vibe. can't wait to go back. especially when it warms up more.“

“Nice little neighborhood cafe. We talked to a table of two generations of local ladies that have eaten at Vic's their whole life. Grandma was at least eighty. She said to order the cod or chicken and dumplings. We had the turkey club and fried. We would eat there again if in the area.“

“We usually have the same server and she is always on top of everything, keeping our drinks, chips & salsa refilled at all times. She gets my baby a high chair and applesauce to eat, crayons to color with before our food ever arrives which is so nice! Food always arrives quickly and so far every dish I’ve tried here is packed with so much fresh flavor. I have tried the white chicken chili with jalapeño cornbread, the chimichanga with rice & beans, the Tex Mex Melt with seasoned waffle fries and literally everything from the side of rice to the seasoned ground beef is so flavorful and absolutely delicious! When I go to Mexican restaurants that are not Tex Mex, they just don’t have the great flavors as they do here at Tumbleweed. Or only one or two things are good and everything else is bland tasting. But not here at tumbleweed. It doesn’t matter what you get, it’s all full of flavors!“

“This place is a 10/10! The atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!! We came to Louisville for the day to find my wedding dress. After I said yes to the dress we decided to try Mussel and Burger Bar! They made my day 1000x extra special, took care of my food and drinks, and even gave me a platter of desserts to try! We are coming back to Louisville for my bachelorette and we will definitely be visiting this place again! The seafood burger was also delicious!“

“Fantastic burgers, service, and vibes! The Peanut butter fudge milkshake is the AMAZING“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. The beer selection is always on point!“

“I did work for the person that owns this restaurant they're avoiding me trying not to pay me I wouldn't eat here they don't pay the people that do the work on the place for them to charge so much money for such low quality and I heard them bragging about watering down their liquor“

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

“Great, laid back place. All folks are welcome. Good selection of beers on tap and a great place to shoot pool.“

“One of the beds burgers in Louisville. Really good crispy fries. Atmosphere is laid back and then some. Service was friendly but could have been a little more attentive. Minor complaint. It’s a great place to go for a burger and a beer. I will return.“

“Burgers were great. Those fries though…SO FREAKING GOOD! Randomly found this place while visiting from Pittsburgh. Will come back if we are ever back in the area!“

“15 years of excellent service. Great atmosphere, food and fun. The bartenders work hard to give you great service. The owners are as real as they come. They don’t just make you feel like friends, they make you feel like family. Enjoy the music, games, drinks, food and the real connections that will keep you coming back!!“

“Went in to grab a bite to eat from reading a posting how food is served went inside.. very casual laid back Bar. I asked if food was served and got a quick no from a local, I had some things to do and needed to grab a quick bite so I left.. as I was backing out they came outside and stopped Me saying they had $5-6 pizza if that was ok. I went back inside had a pretty good pizza 🍕 the staff was really friendly making Me feel welcomed being new to the area, had a couple beers introduced myself and left. Overall if ur looking to grab some cheap a.k.a. "affordable" drinks in the area stop in“

“good food, cheap local metalcore/hardcore shows, cool as hell bartenders, what more could you ask for?“

“Bud’s is the best! The friendliest service and the best fried fish ever. My order is almost always the fish fingers and a cup of their bean soup because both are the chef’s kiss. Their open faced roast beef special on Thursday is killer too, as is their Carolina Burger. Wonderful all around, this place!“

“Excellent experience“

“I live very close to here and my kids like to go over just to run around.. there is tons of open space and seating on the covered patio n outside area. I have eaten at Jeffs doughnuts, Bandits pizza and Bunz burgers (I haven't eaten here since Bunz has moved to this location but Im quite sure its the same delicious food) and all 3 are super delicious. Jeffs doughnuts is kinda pricey.. for a doughnut i mean and Bandits pizza and Bunz burgers has very reasonable pricing. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. I will for sure be back to try all of the other restaurants.“

“We had a luncheon catered by the Fireside Bar & Grill today and it was awesome! Everything we ordered was amazing - everyone loved it! Jack was helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend!“

“This is in my neighborhood, but I don't go here too often. I had lunch today. Sorry, I forgot to snap a picture. Order the Breakfast Burger with confidence! It's a burger with bacon, an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo! And it's delicious. The server Tony was fantastic. I'll be back sooner than later.“

“Flavorful Adult Slushes with a kick!!!It's hard to stop at just one lol.Don't let the smooth taste fool you!!

Kid-friendliness: There is a section dedicated to kids options on slushes and an area set up for Adults 21 or older for adult selections.“

“Spencer and Ellis are stupid amazing food came out so fast and accurate. They are A1 employees tip tf out of them“

“The decor was awesome! A must for any true Walking Dead fan!! Service was great and the food was amazing!“

“A group of us went there,the food was really good and plenty of it! Will definitely be going there again!!“

“I do NOT recommend this place. We went with a party of 15 this afternoon and had a truly disappointing, awful experience. We arrived shortly after they opened. We were the only ones on the outside patio the entire visit (just shy of 3 hours) and the inside dining room never got very busy, but you'd never guess by how terrible the service was. It took nearly 2 hours for (most of) our food to come out, and even then, several orders were wrong. Our drinks were rarely filled. Our waitress and other staff may have been stretched too thin, but did the manager ever come out to speak with us or try to make things right even once? nope! The food and beer prices are high and not worth the price. (Food arrived cool and tasted ok... not worth the prices.) No apologies were offered before we left after paying our expensive tabs. We will not be back. Don't waste your time! They clearly don't care about getting return customers.“

“First time this past weekend, party of 6. Great atmosphere and loved the unique menu! Food was excellent and portions were huge. Will definitely be back.“

“Great place to go and bet and just chill out“

“Paddock has top tier service, drinks and food. But, what makes it top notch is their employees and their commitment to making the best environment for customers. Taylor Hoffmann provided EXCELLENT service to me and all my friends! Cant wait to come back to paddock and see Taylor!“

“Great place to party. Drinks are strong(so I'm told), and there's a smoking area out back. Food is good mostly. Karaoke on Tuesday and Thursday. Grill in back on weekends (very good).

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in front“

“Love love this place. Karaoke is awesome, food is great. Great atmosphere.“

“upon entry 2 staff members behind the bar and a female staff member at the entry to kitchen behind a wall chatting it up on her phone. People were observed leaving due to no service. after 10 minutes I asked for a bar towel to clean a table so my party and I could sit down. food was mediocre at best and our pretzel bites allegedly weren't even written down. we did get the pretzel bites after our meals were served and someone please tell me why the hell we couldn't get a rootbeer served when it's on the menu?! guy said he couldn't serve it where we were sitting. Not sure any of them had a bit of ambition as they were very snail like. 🙄 I encourage you to keep walking, don't let the loud music lure you in!“

“The staff is amazing! Tanya is the kindest and most efficient bartender I have ever met. Not to take away from the other staff! The other bartenders, cooks, servers and support staff are awesome as well! The food is just as great as I remember from the 1970's, 80's and 90's! I LOVE to visit Check's every time I come back home!“

“Great spot“

“First time at The Gruv was Friday night and I had such a great time. Such a fun vibe. The owners,photographer,DJ and security 🤞🏽“

“Great food! service and beer“

“Great Kentucky Hotbrown!!!!!!“

“The Beans, Mac n Cheese and Deviled eggs are Sooooo good! Must try these when ordering.“

“Service is at the top of the list of reasons why I go to restaurants. Food of course is a factor also but if service is bad I won't go regardless. The food here was ok but the service was excellent. I ended up sending my steak back because I asked for it to be medium but it came well done. They did it again but it was then too salty and still tough. It was prime rib so I was expecting it to be tender. The server was so gracious about it. I didn't ask for it to be taken off the check but she did it on her own. For that I was grateful. For that I would also return a second time to give the place another chance.“

“Everything was perfect! Every time I come! KP and KENZIE are absolutely amazing servers. Best of the best! The only blemish on this location is Tommy. The bartender/server. Horrible attitude!!! And it seems like each time I’ve interacted with him, he seems to have been drinking. Very unprofessional. Other than him, I love this place.“
