I loved Sergio’s even though it may possibly be the strangest place I’ve even been into that considers itself a drinking establishment. Upon arriving in the neighborhood, we walked up to a building and a nice man opened the door and asked us "Are you going inside?". The windows and doors had international flags hanging on them, giving us a strange vibe. No where did we see any indication of the name of the establishment we were entering. We knew it’d be an interesting...adventure... The front room is small, but once you go into the back of the bar, there is more restaurant style seating. This definitely was a converted house of sorts, and you kinda feel like you are at a house party you just got invited to at college, but you don’t know any of the other people. The selection is good, but they don’t have a menu. You have to look it up before you get there, which isn’t really a good thing. To add to the house feel, they have a few household fridges thrown around with beers in them, and they encouraged us to "grab what we want". I didn’t try the foods, so no rating. I’m torn how how they calculate your tab at the end............you literally have to either a) have written it all down yourself or b) remember what you had. Not too good when you’re drunk. I guess it’s our gain, they loss, because an establishment can’t expect me to remember what I’ve had after a few beers. We all felt our tabs were significantly less than they should have been, and ended up giving extra money as a "tip". Even if they used a notepad to write down what you had, it’d be better. The owner did come talk to us several times, and will disappear into secret areas to get a rare brew you request, he’s a quiet but cool guy, and knows a lot of interesting people in the beer industry. If you are near here, you should check this place out, you will definitely have some stories for your friends. I’m really glad we went there, and if we ever are in Louisville again, will go again. Was definitely an adventure. Thanks for the good time Sergio! Lastly, I felt so much like I was his home, when we left I said to him at the door "Thanks for having us"....it just felt right.

I go to Sergio’s regularly, and it’s a great, relaxed place to go when you’re sick of the typical weekend club scene. The selection is incredible too.

If you are reading this review at ratebeer.com, then you most likely are interested in beer. As such, I will address the type of "exbeerience" you can expect at Sergio’s World Beers. (Yeah, that was corny. I know.) The first thing you might experience is a feeling of awe as you gaze upon the seemingly endless offerings. There are over one-thousand, and more than forty of them are on tap. That’s right. Over 1000 different beers! More than 40 different beers on tap! The next feeling you may have might be one of indecision. Be not afraid. To say that Sergio is a capable guide to the beers of the world vastly understates his body of knowledge and amicable way of conversing about beer. A few friendly words of conversation about what you like about beer and he’ll soon be leading you to your next favorite discovery. Sergio’s World Beers is a great beer bar to visit anytime, but attending a beer dinner offered by Sergio is one of the best ways to experience everything that is outstanding about Sergio’s. Not only are the pairings of foods and beers masterfully chosen by Sergio himself, he is also heavily involved with the food preparation. It is truly a treat for anyone who can appreciate a variety of fine food and drink. I hope you have a chance to visit. You may find that he has that special bottle you’ve been unable to find for years tucked away, waiting for you.

Sergios is one of my new favorite places in town. I will be showing this "find" to my friends. Serg’s knowledge is extensive. Cheers, and enjoy.

This place is mecca! For a more detailed take on Sergios, see www.louisvilleontap.com- the review is on the old location, but we promise to update soon, and in the mean time, it’ll give you a good idea what Sergio is all about.

Rating a place like Sergio’s is tough. If I gave it only thought as to how I would rate it for me, it’s 100 for sure, but I wanted to give some deference to folks who may not live for the "dive bar" atmosphere, and/or who want "white glove/tablecloth" treatment. Sergio’s is NOT that, although you will still enjoy yourself tremendously. Sergio’s is an experience, as much as it it a place to get the best beers in the world from someone who knows all about them. Sergio’s knowledge is unmatched, and although it may take you a few pours to get his personality, he’s great to talk to and is as friendly as can be in his own way. He is essentially the only server, though, so when the place gets a little busier at times, you can find yourself wondering where he is. The good news there is that you can practically serve yourself if you are drinking one of the 800 or so bottled beers offered. If you want a pour from one of the 30 or so taps, wait for him, ask him what he recommends, and enjoy. These are the best beers in the world, literally, served in an atmosphere that feels like your friends house (your single, messy friend), or maybe your dorm room in college, or maybe just your favorite dive bar. When you’re ready to leave, you and Sergio go through the ritual of re-living (or trying to remember) your afternoon/evening’s beer journey so he can tally up your bill. Cash Only, but there is an ATM on premise, for when you just have to have another Chimay Blanche on tap. Fair prices (not cheap...fair), great beer, good food (the menu is surprisingly HUGE, and food is served in the kitchen right in front of you), and an experience to talk about for quite a while (or until your next visit 2 days later). I’ve yet to introduce a friend to Sergio’s that hasn’t loved it, come back often, and brought their own friends. The folks who think like me love it immediately, and can’t get enough. The folks who typically want the white glove treatment just smile the whole time, maybe take a picture on their phone to show their other friends the dive they drank in, then enjoy the amazing beers, with the rest of us. Sergio’s is a CAN’T MISS for any beer lover, whether you live here in Louisville or are just visiting.

Definitely my favorite bar. Beer selection is 2nd to none. Good brews, good people. All I have to say about the food: magic cheese!

Great selection of beers and nice tap selection. The staff is attentive unless they are busy, then it is quite slow. The wait staff don’t know quite as much about the beer and brewing process as I would expect. I actually was told several things that were downright wrong about the beers and brewing process a time or two. There is beer stuff abound, which is cool, but the place doesn’t look very clean or organized. The food isn’t top notch, but is fine for a bar.

Best beer place on Earth.

It’s hard to imagine a better beer bar than Sergio’s World Beers. With a extensive array of rotating taps and beer styles it is a destination for any beer lover. Beer here is to be enjoyed so be patient, take your time and stay awhile.
