Troll Pub Under the Bridge

Loved this place. It was recommended by a local. They have amazing old fashions. Great drink not for a light weight haha. The Kentucky brown was delicious. Hubby had chicken and waffles with sweet potato tater tots. The butter served with it was yummy. Neat little bar. Loved the atmosphere. I always trust opinions of locals. Don't forget your picture with the troll. Staff was great. Super friendly. Just trust me try it.

On my way from Tennessee to Indiana, I had a hankering for some local Kentucky food.

Then things went south. Not at all what I had read about or expected. Some sliced turkey open faced in bread with some sauce and one tiny thin slice of tomato.

To their credit though, there were some other things on the menu that did look really good and this seems more like t

Came in after I got a recommendation from the hotel I stayed in, and found a great place!! It looks quiet from the outside, but once you get in you'll find a busy place with a fun and friendly vibe. Sat at the bar and had a burger, a couple of drinks, and two desserts. The food was great, the drinks were on point, and the desserts were delicious. Friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere made it a really great start for my Louisville visit. Next time I'll be in the city, I'll definitely be back!
