“this was our first time there we surprised my oldest son who turned 13 today (4-17) the servers were very nice and food was amazing“

“Just had a wonderful experience, the staff was awesome at explaining everything to us as newbies. Took my husband axe throwing for Father’s Day and we had a blast! The atmosphere was lowkey and unassuming, and the other players were awesome at rooting everyone on despite us all being strangers. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose you’ll be guaranteed to have fun no matter what. The whole setup is so innovative but also very user friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“Best place in town to watch any type of games on TV. Anywhere you sit you have a great view of the game. Beer is cold and many varieties on tap and in bottles, I have never been disappointed with my food choice and have tried almost everything on the menu. Friendly staff, fast, attentive service you won’t be disappointed, enjoy!“

“I do NOT recommend this place. We went with a party of 15 this afternoon and had a truly disappointing, awful experience. We arrived shortly after they opened. We were the only ones on the outside patio the entire visit (just shy of 3 hours) and the inside dining room never got very busy, but you'd never guess by how terrible the service was. It took nearly 2 hours for (most of) our food to come out, and even then, several orders were wrong. Our drinks were rarely filled. Our waitress and other staff may have been stretched too thin, but did the manager ever come out to speak with us or try to make things right even once? nope! The food and beer prices are high and not worth the price. (Food arrived cool and tasted ok... not worth the prices.) No apologies were offered before we left after paying our expensive tabs. We will not be back. Don't waste your time! They clearly don't care about getting return customers.“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff“

“I seen new owners & not impressed with the expensive meals. the waitress spoke no English at all so couldn't even understand I said Nachos & wings smh, then as we were the only customers there our simple 3 meals took literally an hr wait before I had to ask about food, then another 30min. lunch hr so they didn't care I had to go to work. It was very dirty. Not the same as it used to be.“

“first time there and our waiter AJ was phenomenal! the watermelon redbull margarita was so delicious. the sweet bay fries were too good to share and the chicken bacon ranch tacos were so yummy. loved the vibe, atmosphere. will definitely be back (on the first Sunday of every month from now on 😂) 5 ⭐ across the board.“

“My husband and I came in Saturday night with friends who are regulars. It was so much fun!!! I cannot wait to try the food. We have been wanting a place like this to go to for so long!! Loved the music, the dancing, the bartenders and just everyone was so friendly!! We have a Saturday night hangout!!!!!“

“My sister and I got out of the doctor's office a little early. We were in a togo spot waiting for 11am to order next thing I knew a young man, Very nice, I assume was the manager, he took our order went inside personally made it and brought it out to us. He was so very kind. ,🙏 You don't have that many people in the world that do that anymore!!! God bless you“

“Fun, clean, safe atmosphere! Great place to grab a bite with the kids and then a beer (or several) later on. TV set up is solid, great bar games (Pool, Golden Tee) and it has the #1 ranked burger in the city of louisville!“

“I placed an online order that was sent to door dash to deliver. When I got my order the dasher took a BITE of my boyfriend’s personal pan pizza, took my daughter’s pepperoni pizza, and my extra garlic bread. Here is the kicker I TIPPED 15% when I checked out, SO I’M INSTANTLY IRRITATED!! I called Derby City ofc they didn’t answer because it’s a busy Friday night. When I got there and told them what happened and showed them the food I received, the manager immediately called Door Dash and got the driver banned from delivering at any of their stores. At 9:54PM right as they were preparing to close they made my entire order over and gave us FREE brownies & drinks. The manager took it a step further and refunded my money on her own. I appreciate everyone there for going above and beyond to make it right, you guys are appreciated! Everything was fresh & delicious.“

“great place! Great food and atmosphere!“

“I went here for the first time tonight and not only was the food great and reasonably priced...the staff was amazing!! I actually left my phone at the table and didn't realize until about a hour later. When I got there they had put it away for me in a safe place. I was SO thankful and bc of their kindness I wanted to write this review. I enjoyed my Philly and the environment is great. Thank you both for helping tonight. The server and bartender were amazing.“

“A couple of friends an I went to watch the March Madness ballgames and have some good food. The food was good and the service, Eric B, was fantastic. He took the time to chat with us and still provided great service. The food came out quick and hot. Our drink glasses never got empty before he was bringing a refill!
Between the 3 of us, we had traditional wings, boneless wings, pizza, and a Cubano sandwich.“

“Great place great staff If you looking to find a place to watch a game this is the place!!“

“It has been several years since I was at Hooters. Our server was great. It took a while to get our food. It sounded like they were short staffed in the kitchen. My only disappointment was the wings. I ordered half hot and half 3 Mile Island. They must have changed the sauce at Hooters. The first indication was the color of the sauce. The Hot was very mild. I would consider the 3 Mile Island sauce as hot but nothing extreme.
Our server was great. The atmosphere is typical Hooters. I'll have to return again. It's a good place to meet up with friends.“

“This is a nice little bar with very friendly people. The drinks are very cheap but are very good. We often eat lunch here or we carry out dinner. The food is excellent. The fish is the best! If you pick a good night, try the karaoke it is very fun. Nice family owned bar and grill.“

“I love this place so much! The food is always excellent. The servers are always attentive and kind. The service is fast! Even with the parking lot full, there is always a table or booth available. The music is awesome (mostly popular 90's alt rock, etc.). The atmosphere is really laid back. I love reading all of the hilarious little signs up all over the place, too. I'm thankful to have this place around!“

“Best sports bar in the south end !!!“

“We got our usual Mama Bearno's pizza at the Hurstbourne Louisville location. It's their signature pizza that never disappoints. It's crisp, cracker-thin crust is perfect for it's classic toppings. We love adding banana peppers as well. Always a favorite!“

“Another year in here for a Christmas party.

Today's problem is the football games too loud will not be able to have the event with the other parties unless they turn the sound off.

Time will tell...

On the food side I had the potato skins. They are great.“

“A great little spot that looks a little hole in the wall but is far from scummy. This place has great drinks at great prices (tequila sunrise is 4.75) and the pour is good too. The food is bar food but is honestly really good. This place quickly became my go to bar especially since it's open till 4am. Plenty of pool tables, video slots, darts both machine and standard, corn hole boards and one video golf machine. Has a smoking patio with a fan out back and is honestly just a chill place. There's Texas holdem poker nights as well if you look up RCPL.

Parking: Shares a parking lot with a few other places on the strip but out front there is plenty of parking even if the bingo hall is packed.“

“Service and food was excellent!!“
