”We did some research before coming to the area and found this place. It absolutely did not disappoint! The young man that greeted and seated us was full of personality, we didn’t get his name, but he might go by Taco Bell or Superman. Then Raven was our server. Raven was also fun and a great server. She has only been working here a few days, but had excellent recommendations and was genuinely friendly and efficient even though she was busy. The food was really good, we had a variety of food and everything was good. 10/10 we will most definitely come back when we are back in Louisville.” – Heather Barnett

”Nothing says a good business like genuine happy employees. Their brown ale is pretty fantastic, made fresh on site. I’ve always loved the cozy feel of this microbrewery, and I can’t say the foods bad either. They have some outdoor seating for covid, and inside is spacey enough for a few people to dine there.” – Gabrielle Brhide
