15 Best Dive Bars in Louisville

“Such a comfortable friendly place!“

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

“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“

“Amazing beer selection, vibe and owners!“

“First time visitor, long time stalker. I had a pleasant afternoon sit and sip with an orange wine that paired perfectly with a 75 degree, sunny March day. The garlic dip and kettle chips was on the short list of the bartenders favs. It could have used a bit more garlic for my taste but was good. I also had the Hot Brown empanada to go and regretfully did not get another.
While the appearance looked like it might have been a little too well done for my taste, was flaky and slightly nutty. Delish!!!
They have live Jazz on Tuesdays and am planning a return visit soon!☮️🩷“

“I want to say no, I don't remoend so this hot spot stays low key, but I cant, this place is amazing! Old school tavern feel in an old building, sports TV and laid back feel. Best...the food is amazing and I can't wait to come back and try another dish. My new favorite place while in Louisville.“

“mace Smith and the blacktop rodeo was awsome last night got people up dancing and having a great time they are a must see band.“

“Interesting neighborhood bar. I have heard it is a dive bar, but it is not cheap enough to quality as one. They offer a great cider! It's quite a nice place to have in old Louisville. They should cut a window into the pizza place next door.“

“Stoped in after a concert and had a blast!! Love the bartender she makes an amazing long island iced tea-she was friendly a little feisty and so much fun!! This place is a must visit if you’re in town!! I will definitely be going back- I might travel just to stop in!!!“
