This IS the best spot in Louisville. You will almost always wait a few, but it is well worth it! If you are lucky enough to arrive before the ribs are gone, ORDER THEM! Also, the truffle fries area must.

Great little gem when you are craving a Chinese buffet. Although it is in a strip mall and very unassuming on the outside, it is a delightful space that is large, clean and very cool inside. The food is definitely above average for the buffets I have had in the past and the price is not outrageous.

We went years ago when it was Manny and Merles and were not impressed. We decided to try it again, and were delightfully surprised! It is a very cool space, about twice the size now, a great bourbon list and an expanded menu. Highly recommend, especially if you are heading downtown for a play or a game.

The Granville Pub
1601 S 3rd StBest dive bar in Old Louisville! Our favorite bartender, Erin, works here.
This is by far the coolest little bar in the area. It has a retro feel but well done. It is like divey without trying to make you think its divey. The drinks are top notch. Highly recommend the Old Fashioned. The prices are amazing, considering a shot of Buffalo Trace is $3 and they have a "Mystery Beer" for $3 which is basically the bartenders choice but it is always a better beer. Service is awesome, they open at 4 every day and looks like they can get pretty busy later at night as they have live music frequently. It is just a bar, so don't go looking for food, even bar food though.
