I always love coming here - bar staff is super quick and friendly and the events they host are some of the best, most varied in the city. As a movie themed bar that also does comedy shows, trivia nights, concerts and film screenings, we're ridiculously lucky to have this venue here.

Went here after a show at Old Forester’s Paristown Hall on July 3rd and to my surprise they were doing a screening of Return of the Living Dead! The film takes place on July 3rd in Louisville and it didn’t cross my mind until I went in. They had a lively crowd of regulars quoting the movie, a guy in a Tarman costume for photo ops. It was a one of a kind experience and I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. As far as service they are wonderful and great prices on snacks and beer. I won’t spoil the snack presentation for you, but it’s truly unique and will come back anytime I’m in Louisville.

Awful atmosphere, just ugly. Beer is fine, but it's hard to mess up alcohol. Inside needs a complete overhaul though.

Snacks and liquor, always a good time. Plus an excellent selection of no alcohol drinks, because at some point you have to drive home.

Probably the friendliest bar I have ever been to in my life. Incredibly inviting and well designed. Very chill vibe and the people that go there are all nice. They don't offer much food wise, but that's okay. The snacks are decent that they do offer.

Great little club and bar, cheap drinks too. Only downside is that everyone there smokes.

This place is awesome! You definitely get your money's worth with the cocktails, and the theming is so cool. B-Movie Bingo is the best!!

As we all know, today I went to Planet of the Tapes. It was a cool summer day and my cousin and I tasked ourselves to find a record store that was open. We did and we went there, then left. That part had little to nothing to do with Planet of the Tapes. We also ate kebabs which is another meaningless fact but not for the bit where I spied a bidet in the bathroom when I went teetee. I too own a bidet and love it! I don’t know if planet of the tapes has a bidet, but what they do have is an excellent unique atmosphere, great tunes that are at the precise decibel of maximum listening pleasure, drinks that are the perfect mix of booze to mix ratio if you are into that sort of thing, and did I mention moon pies? I know what you’re thinking. Chris, there are moon pies at Publix. Why don’t we just drink there? I’ll tell you why…Publix doesn’t have excellent events going on frequently. Where the last time you got to watch a gore movie at Publix. Probably only once and you had to stream it on your tablet didn’t you….and I bet you watched it alone and everyone thought you were shoplifting. I don’t frequent this side of town but there used to be a big fun bar beside it called Jillian’s or something, I can’t remember, anyway ample parking so I don’t have to Uber because I can’t parallel park. Let me tell you something else. If you don’t go here and see what all the fuss is about I will tell everyone that you have the hots for your stepmom and secretly draw pictures of her gams all day then spray her perfume on them. PS I noticed one of the tags above says rooftop. Yes, they have a roof on top.

Great place! Bring your own food, but buy drinks here. Tuesday night is trivia. Lots of fun!

We went to a show here 6/22/24 and it was so uncomfortably hot in there. They don't have food options, just drinks. I love their selection of entertainment, but the space kind of sucks. If you are seated anywhere other than the front, you are going to have an obstructed view. The screen goes to the ground, which means you will miss anything on the bottom half of the screen if you're not seated in the front.
They say first come first serve for seating, but they decide where you sit and sit you with other people. I drove 3 hours to go to this show and I wouldn't recommend going back.

TLDR: Parking is good, service is good, show selection is good, all of this is fine, but the view of any show here is bad if you need to see the screen.
