12 Best Gastropubs in Louisville

“I have visited this location quite a few times before someone dear to me had medical issues nearby at the hospital that owns 85% of the land in the area. I first met Brian awhile ago when I was in the neighborhood since I work nearby. Since May 23rd of this year I have been visiting the nearby hospital and sometimes would visit for a quick drink and grub, but recently I visited on my way home after bad news from the nearby medical facility. Brian could tell that I didn’t order my usual and maybe it was quite different, after 1/2hour I ordered another off the ordinary drink and asked for the tab. He could see that I wasn’t in the right place after mentioning bad news I recently received at the hospital not mentioned before. When I got my tab I noticed that only 1 neat bourbon was on the tab and his words were something similar to, I got you Bro that’s on me! Bartenders always and always will be great people and readers of peoples mind! They know right away how your day is goin good or bad, they can see it in your eyes, maybe even with filled from wiped away tears. I will never forget this guy for what he did at the time and what he told me about staying strong because that’s all we can do! Bottom line is that WOB is an amazing place with awesome atmosphere and even more awesome bartenders. I’ve met many others, and y’all are great but tonight Brian sealed the deal that he is my favorite bartender in Louisville and even when this struggle I’m goin through is over I’ll always visit and think back on the kindness and gratitude that he showed me on June 23rd. That day will be not good in my future because of what I learned today, but I will always remember how I was treated by the best bartender in Louisville on the exact same day. Thanks to Brian and ALL the staff at WOB!! See y’all soon! 👍🏻🤞💪🥃😎“

“I wasn't sure what to expect with this place. Parking was challenging, but once we found a place to park, the wait was worth it! The brisket is AMAZING!! I had the Brisket Melt and the flavor was second to none! The fries are delicious, especially with the bacon jam. I highly recommend this place!“

“Neat place which used to be a service station. The bar was well stocked with many options. They had indoor and outdoor seating. We had reservations, but they still didnt have a server for us, so one of our team members took our orders and put them in at the bar. The burger and pepperoni pizza were good. Trendy place, limited street parking.“

“My mother and I stopped in today and right away we noticed how great it smelled. The service was friendly and prompt. There were so many options that we weren't quite sure what to choose, but the red chicken curry was particularly amazing and we can't wait to try more! If you're in the area for lunch, definitely stop in for the lunch special. No cocktails this time, but after watching them being mixed, I can't wait to try one as they looked refreshing and tasty!“
