You know spring is here when you head out to Heron Bay. Located right off the Platte River in the Louisville area, it is a fun place to stop in for a drink with a variety of good eats on the menu, and the room to stay awhile and enjoy being right off the water. Bands and bikes are welcome here, along with your airboat.

Even when the live music is "rained out" the staff make you feel welcome and are very accommodating. Inside bar is your typical 'local dive' scene (in a good way). Outside patio offers riverfront ambiance great for friendly gatherings for drinks.

Great spot right by the river! It looks like it’s set up to have live music during the warmer months, lots of outdoor seating, very cozy.Bittersweet that it’s right by the highway and bike path; easy access but it can get noisy with the traffic. But if you’re an avid biker (motorized or not), it’s a very popular place to swing by.The food was pretty yummy; around $20 for a burger and beer (thanks inflation ?). And the service was friendly and pretty prompt!

Food was ok, nothing special, The server was very friendly. The card machine didn't work so we have to go to the bank to get cash out which cost us next to $4. Overall I think it's a pretty cool place.Parking: It is not very well appetized and was a little hard to find.

Love this place! Always relaxing and very welcoming.
This is the place you go to for drinks and a fun social atmosphere but not where you go for food. Food took awhile to come out. Limited menu, our food came out cold, lucky if we got a handful of fries. Although, if you want a fun place on the river for drinks, this could be your meeting place!

Not exactly a great experience. Service wasn’t great. They stopped serving food at 8 which is the main driving of this review. Has a rundown dive bar feel if that’s what you’re looking for.

Need to check hours posted on Google. We were there at noon. Nobody. Called. No answer. Would have been nice to have hours on phone.
I came here as a stop on a bar crawl party bus. We were a large group of girls that came in mid-day on a Saturday and it was so fun! It's a quaint and older style river front bar. The main attraction is the view of the river so I don't put too much stock into the interior, other than the staff. The bartenders were so nice even though we probably came in like a bull in a china shop. We were served our drinks in a timely manner and we played a few of the outdoor games, some girls sat on the patio, others just walked around the property. We weren't there long enough to order, but it was such a great experience I can't wait to come back and enjoy a meal on the patio before the summer ends.

It's always a good place to go chill. Never had a bad experience out there. Sometimes it's busy and sometimes it's not. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Grab a few beers and smoke a few cigars.

This place was really neat right by the water. They had a live band playing which was nice also.

Good food with a fairly creative menu - especially on weekends. By the way, the menu is on an A-frame board just outside the door. Excellent, attentive, and friendly service. Fun to watch the airboats go by. A slight smell of fish if you sit closer to the river. Arrive early if you want a shady spot.

This wasn’t quite what I was expecting upon arrival honestly. The building is quite worn along with the outside seating. They offered a very limited menu that day. I was surprised they didn’t offer a few beers on tap, but they offered a large variety of cans/bottles of beers. I went with the cheeseburger and tots, and my son went with the chicken tender basket with tots. My burger consisted of a large patty and decent amount of toppings. Everything tasted great and arrived fairly quickly. Our server was nice but kind of sporadic on checking on us. My husband ended up going inside to order another beer for example.
