35 Best Bars near Sellersburg

“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!“

“We visited Louisville for a long weekend and stopped in for dinner on a Friday evening. The place was packed. Kait was our server. We started with the beet w/mixed berries and the cast iron rosemary foccaia--so good! The bread came with a berry custard/cheese butter mix spread--ridiculous! For dinner we ordered the half chicken and the risotto w/rock shrimp. Both were outstanding!! Katie did a great job and the staff really worked well together.
(Just FYI...they make their pasta in-house). Highly recommend!!“

“Excellent experience and creative cocktails!!!“

“Love this place. Mellwood Tavern gives you two completely different experiences under one roof, and both are worth checking out.

Downstairs is exactly what a great Louisville dive bar should be—laid back, unpretentious, and stocked with a really solid beer selection. The real star, though, is Tuesday night fried chicken, which might honestly be the best in Louisville. It’s crispy, flavorful, and absolutely worth planning your week around. And whatever you do, don’t skip the potato cakes—they’re the perfect side and honestly complete the whole meal.

Upstairs is a total contrast in the best way. The renovated private hangout space is quieter, well-appointed, and perfect if you want a more relaxed vibe. Between the dart boards, TVs, and comfortable setup, it’s an awesome place to watch whatever game you want, hang with friends, or spend a long night throwing darts without the chaos of the downstairs bar.

It’s rare to find a place that nails both the classic dive bar feel and a polished private hangout space, but Mellwood does it perfectly. Tuesday chicken alone is worth the trip. “

“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!“

“We booked the Hosted Tasting experience for four people. We were early, but we were able to be seated to begin. Our host was Hannah, and she was AMAZING! She is an certified Bourbon Steward and extremely knowledgeable about the products that we tasted, and she listened to our comments to steer us to just the right whiskeys for us! We have been to 80+ distilleries all over the US, and she is by far one of the best we have had! She is fun and charismatic! The tasting included cashews, bacon jam, and pretzels to cleanse our palates. We also had the opportunity to purchase pours of harder to find Whistlepig whiskeys. The building is an old bank, and it is absolutely gorgeous!“

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

“Loved the place!“

“Had a pharmaceutical event there today and the service was top notch ! Great food and the drinks are fantastic 🍷“

“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!“

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

“band nights and atmosphere“

“This is an interesting place for sure. It very much has the look of a sailing ship on the inside with all the wood on the walls and ceiling along with the ropes and lanterns and dark allure. The cocktail selection is pretty great and very much themed to the open seas. The food menu is really great for noshing on enhanced pub fare. The fries were my favorite besides the oysters. The chips and dip were good but not outstanding. The yacht dog was tasty. The olives were a unique surprise as the ginger / Asian season gave a nice zing. Beer was good but really wished there was a better draft selection. Overall this is a decent cocktail bar with upscale appetizer items. I am not sure I would make this a full dinner spot but would certainly hit it up for the happy hour oysters! I would certainly not turn down another cruise about YachtSea for a pint and fries! Ahoy!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Sydney W. was our bartender and absolutely crushed it. Amazing personality, great conversation, and clearly knows her craft—she’s the full package behind the bar. She genuinely made the whole experience. As a bartender myself out in St. Matt’s, I can say she’s 100% worth the drive after a shift. This spot just earned a regular stop from me.“

“100% recommended, A space with all the amenities and excellent service from the owners.“

“Had a great and the people were really kind to us all“

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

“Really fun location, close to lots of great spots!“

“Fun neighborhood bar where everyone stops in to eat grab a drink or watch sports shoot some pool or just meet up with some friends and hang out the bartender Angie is very nice and friendly and the cook hey K D is a very good cook delicious food I may add“

“George's Bar is the official bar within the Old Forrestor downtown Louisville outpost. It was probably my absolute favorite distillery bar we got to try out on our recent trip to the area. The space is beautiful - intimate but with enough seating and an actual open bar area you can go sit at. Their bourbon flight options were also incredible - with truly hard to find things at a semi-reasonable price. We will back - 5/5 stars.“

“My number 1 go to for fish here in Louisville. I've tried it all. Service is amazing, food portions are great for the price. love seeing the river in the spring time. The only negative is the parking. Hey it's worth the wait!“

“All of us at Whiskey University had such an incredible Time going back into history and living through prohibition in the 1920s!!

Everyone we interacted with was very knowledgeable and you could tell that they were well trained by Heaven Hill. Our journey included some wonderful top shelf selections of Whiskey!

The manager on duty and way out of his way to make sure that all our needs were taken care of, and all our questions answered!!

10 out 10!! This would be our number one recommendation of all distilleries if you only had time to visit one in Louisville!“

“Salmon nuggets with the traditional potato wedges. Salmon nuggets were meaty & soft with "The Club" special sauce - it is tangy. It had capers and something kinda minty - pretty good sauce if you don't mind the capers - gave it 4⭐ cause I like a light spicy with the special sauce. Overall I would get it again.“

“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.“

“Friendly atmosphere, good food and great staff.“

“I liked it! A bit pricey for some items, but spot on for others. I had the fish special which was an interesting salmon dish. $28 and worth it! My husband had the burger $17. Not a good choice. We had the appetizer skewers $13 which were delicious and the chocolate tahini cake $11 which really surprised us flavor wise. We did not leave feeling overly full which is good since we were there for the show.I highly recommend it for one more reason. Location. It makes getting to the theatre so much easier!!!“

“homie....friendly...quite“

“Hip atmosphere! it's like a box of chocolates...Wish there were more bars like this..kinda like bars in Nashville vibe.. searching for new undiscovered talents!“

“The cocktails were great but the delay for our table and service left us all wanting more. The base charge for a table for 5 was $50 and then drinks on top of such. Unique experience but would not return. Will mention, our cocktail waitress was warm and apologized several times for the delays.“

“Amazing seafood, appetizers and desserts (bread pudding is phenomenal)! A must is having Samantha at Sam’s Food & Spirits as our server. Hands down the best food and service anywhere around! We are so glad we stumbled on this place. The manager Sam came and met us personally as well. The entire experience is worth the drive!“
