A decades‑old Old Louisville institution where cheap drinks, killer jukeboxes, and a packed live‑music calendar still rule. Often mapped by Eater among the city’s great dives, it remains a rite of passage for night owls and bands alike.

Interesting neighborhood bar. I have heard it is a dive bar, but it is not cheap enough to quality as one. They offer a great cider! It's quite a nice place to have in old Louisville. They should cut a window into the pizza place next door.

We are visiting for work and the Bartender with the man bun was incredibly rude and disrespectful. He threatened to kick us out because our tip wasn’t “sufficient”. We had bought 3 rounds of shots tipped well and were going to buy a 4th but after his attitude and threats we left. Being rude is not a way to have good business

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. 🙏🏻

We were having a great time, our first bartender with the face mask was great, after that, the next bartender that had the man-bun was extremely rude and disrespectful to us and ruined the night for us. It was extremely disappointing as he threatened to kick us out for not giving a big enough tip. He was also very rude to me even before I had ordered anything at all.

Some old bartender kicked us out & told us to never come back again. He said we didn’t tip, but we left $30 in cash for a little over $100 tab paid on a credit card. People there were cool that’s about it.

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!
