19 Best Pubs in Louisville

“A group of 8 and 2 teens thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Hop Atomica. With unseasonably beautiful weather, we sought out a brewery with good food and a patio. Hop Atomica delivered all of the above and then some. I wasn’t hungry but the Basil Cheesesticks and house made ranch hands down were some of the best I have had in recent memory. Absolutely worth going back for alone. Cinnamon Sticks too?!?! Yes they also slapped. And don’t get me started on the beer cheese and smoked wings. Our group had them naked because the smoke alone was sufficient flavor. Definitely will return, even if only for food. I wasn’t feeling drinking a lot of beer but I wanted to sample. Flights were generous, Oktoberfest and Dunkel Buck were chef’s kiss. I then stepped inside to order a Rye flight that was curated with some delicious pours I haven’t had. As a Bourbon and Rye enthusiast, their bar program shouldn’t be discounted, they have a formidable selection of delicous bottles. Everyone was so hospitable and Paul came by our table as he was making his rounds. Super nice guy and hilarious discussions ensued about irrational reviews like “people who didn’t enjoy the IPA but they don’t like IPAs anyway.” You can tell they take pride in the place and I want to also say their playlist was absolutely FIRE! 90’s tunes abounded and I was right at home. So Paul, our review is for your team and the hilarious chat about stupid reviews on Yelp. 10/10 recommend.“

“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! 👍🏻🤞💪🥃😎“

“Great spot“

“For my sons birthday, Jacob Withrow ,he wanted family to meet at the Village Anchor (10 of us ) We all have been raving over how good the food was after we left there yesterday. It all came out in a timely manner and done the way we asked , and Bravo to the chef. Our waitress Melissa was fantastic she was on to of everything and made sure we all were taken care of and happy . My husband is very picky when it comes to food and he was absolutely gives 10 stars to the Village Anchor. We all said we would make the 2 1/2 hour drive to eat there again. This was a great choice my son Jasob Withrow made. You did very well Village Anchor !!!! Peggy Hubbard, Somerset Ky.“
