Mag Bar

Went to a concert here! Cute little bar. Great vibes and the people are so friendly. I would definitely go again!

The best part of my trip to Louisville. Flew into town, googled "punk shows near me", and was not disappointed. Super cool bar. The show I caught was amazing. 10/10 hope I can come back in the future. Will recommend to anyone who will listen. Will recommend to everyone else too. GO HERE.

I absolutely loved my MagBar experience! I was following my friends and their bands. This was our first stop. Seth, the bartender, was a great to work with. Load in was easy peasy. The sound was good. The local acts were incrediblely nice and talented. If I lived in Louisville, this would definitely be a space I would frequent. I hope to be back in the future for some metal shows.

If you’re into rock and heavy metal, Mag Bar is the spot. The drinks are top-notch, the service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is exactly my kind of vibe—dark, edgy, and full of character. They regularly host local bands, giving the place an authentic, live-music energy that’s hard to find elsewhere. Definitely a go-to for anyone who loves good music, a strong drink, and a no-nonsense, down-to-earth crowd.

I have lived in Louisville for 30 years now and somehow have never reviewed this establishment. If you have not been to a show here, you owe it to yourself to go. They are open late. The staff is friendly the area safe. 🙏🏻

Left alone to have a cheap beer in a proper felt dive bar. Its exactly what I was after. Always solid metal/punk music playing, some great local band promotions, and an easy decompression with an inexpensive drink.

Bartender was rude and disliked being asked questions. Very unwelcoming energy from staff and patrons. Bartender was annoyed that I didn't want to leave a tab running and was here for the bands and to drink water. Low energy posers who were trying to hard to be edgy. Second review: Huge improvement from the first time I came here. All the staff I encountered were chill and friendly. The bands were great and the atmosphere was positive!

Always a great time! The bar is a decent size, they always play a good variety of music, every show feels like a community event, and we love the patio.
