26 Best Pubs near St. Matthews

“As sports bars go this place is great! The service is awesome. The Pizza is outstanding, and the wings are huge. But, if you are a Packer fan, the upstairs bar is the epitome of a Packer bar. The camaraderie... the cheers... the fanaticism... absolutely brilliant!“

“Great welcoming neighborhood bar.“

“10/18/24

We've come to eat lunch a number of times, and I have to change my review. Wicks has to be in the top pizza stops in the Ville. Service, Food, Atmosphere Wicks has it all. Pizza is Excellence, you won't be disappointed you stopped in.“

“Highlands Tap Room is a lively spot that’s perfect for a fun night out. It has a relaxed yet energetic vibe with an outdoor area that lets you enjoy the fresh air, plus a covered section if you prefer some shade. The crowd here is refreshingly diverse, from college-age patrons to folks in their 60s, giving it a welcoming, community feel. The atmosphere changes depending on the day, with weekends drawing in a bigger, more bustling crowd.

Drinks are decent, and as you get to know the bartenders, you’ll find your favorites who really know how to mix a solid drink. A notable feature here is the security presence; you’re greeted at the door, and there’s security mingling to keep an eye on things. It adds a sense of safety, so you can relax and focus on enjoying your time.

A quick tip: avoid parking at the Taco Bell nearby—cars get towed at lightning speed! Overall, Highlands Tap Room is a solid hangout with a laid-back vibe, friendly patrons, and a commitment to keeping things safe and fun.“

“This is such a cool place!! If you’re a beer drinker they have anything you want, If you’re not they still have you covered. Fun atmosphere and the food Rocks! The big pretzel is always fun but make sure you don’t overlook everything else. My favs are the chicken sliders, blackened chicken Caesar and the fried Mac and cheese. Their burgers are half pound black angus the best you can get, oh my !!! Check it out I promise you won’t be sorry, it’s a regular for me. 🤗😋🍺“

“Wonderful spot. I didn't even realize it was the old Diamond's. Great food at really good prices. Lot's of pool tables and a new Golden Tee machine. Bigger inside than it looks. Very clean and had excellent service. Really neat to see the local Ole Miss Hotty Toddy group there for the bowl game :)“

“By far the best bar in the entire city. The staff are the nicest people you could ask for, they go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. The atmosphere is amazing, this is the only place in the city I’ll go to shoot pool hands down. Highly recommend checking out Maple Inn!“

“This place was amazing ! The food was great. Everything top notch. Kids had chicken strips, sweet potato fries, broccoli, and fish nuggets with tots. Great portion size for them and taste was delicious . We had the beer cheese Philly and the chicken cordon bleu with onion rings. All very good.“

“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.“

“Love this place! The food is reasonably priced and tastes great!! Most friendly employees too,😊“

“A local dive bar on the water. The food is good bar food. Loved the fried mushrooms. Very reasonable prices. Lots of TVs for sports watching. We held a conversation without shouting. The regulars were friendly, and the wait staff were too. Overall, we had a good time. Heads up, "cigarette smoke" was detectable but not overbearing.“

“Regular on weekends!Nice bar & nightlife!“

“Friendly local eatery which supports the community!“

“It's alright. Some of their 80s music playlists are nice, but they've played tons of breakup and heartbreak music the last few times I've went, and it's just a total vibe kill for me. The employees need to stop projecting their sobbiness on the music playlist.“

“The brunch menu is my favorite. I love the food, cocktails, and the entire experience!“

“Great spot“

“It was girls afternoon, and it was great. Food was really good. Started with meatless nachos (so good), a personal cauliflower crust pizza for one, and I had the hot honey turkey grinder and another had regular turkey grinder. All were delicious! We ate, reminisced and had a few beers. And cudos to our server, Will, who kept everything going at the appropriate times. Just a great time! Highly recommend.“

“We love Gerstles. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is great & really friendly. They're on top of things. I'm a huge Vikings fan, and this is our Louisville gathering spot on Sundays.
