a smallish place with 12 tables and a small bar area. 22 drafts i counted and 24 bottles/cans. most all are local microbrews with some from other states. overall decent selection. staff was friendly and helpful. the menu is pub fare mainly burgers and some appetizers. the pretzel with bavarian mustard was excellent...it’s not the size but the girth. damn that pretzel was big. prices are decent with 3 different size beers you can get.

The place itself was smallish; beer decor abounds with a bar area near the back- there is some seating for larger groups, but this is mostly a small party (4 or less) place. Service was personable and friendly, and willing to talk shop about their business and others around the area; beer knowledge seemed appropriate. Selection is all-American, with 24 taps from around the country, including KY breweries Country Boy, BBC, Against the Grain and Apocalypse Brew Works, as well as regionals such as Founders. Food was solid; pretty standard pub grub at good prices. Prices were pretty good on beer as well; they had a deal for a cheesesteak and a pint for 10 bucks. They have pints, half pints and four oz. pours, all priced appropriately. And, for being on Bardstown Rd., they weren’t slammed (which kinda worries me on a Sunday afternoon). I hope this place sticks around; a good place to try a variety of brews.

Newish place that specializes in American craft brews. Fantastic idea. Tap,list was solid, although they had justbrun out of some really interesting stuff after a very bust weekend. Staff was very friendly and they knew their stuff. A pleasure.

Stopped by here for the first time during Louisville Craft Beer Week for the Founders KY Breakfast Stout tapping. Well the KY Breakfast Stout was long gone by the time I got there, but I was very impressed with this place! Very nice craft beer selection, including a lot of locals. The place was very clean and well taken care of! A lot of work has went into this place since the last owners moved out. Definitely appreciated the amount of renovations and updating they did! Very relaxing atmosphere because of the small crowd. I could talk with friends at a normal speaking voice without having to shout. I spoke with the owner at length, a recent transplant to the Louisville area, and he was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about craft beer. Typical prices for craft beer, (about $6 a pint). Did not try any food this visit. Overall a very nice new addition to the Louisville craft beer scene! I am definitely looking forward to spending more time here.

What a great place. A wide variety of craft beers on a tap line that is always changing. The beers are served in three sizes, 16 ounce, 10 ounce, and 4 ounce. The 4 ounce glasses are great if you just can’t make up your mind, you can just order a small one of each. They have great food to compliment their tap line. Appetizers include homemade hummus, hand cut fries and crab fries, and wings. Try the house River City wings. They are definitly some of the best wings in Louisville. If you want more than appetizers they have 1/2 pound fresh Angus beef burgers, and authentic Philadelphia cheese steaks, complete with whiz. It is a great place to hang with friends and there is even a table with games that you can play with your group while you enjoy the beers. The night I was there a group was playing a lively game of Jenga. Don’t miss this spot if you live in Louisville or if you are just here visiting. You won’t be disappointed.
