Omitted from the inaugural Eater 18 only because this converted Unitarian Church is more bar than restaurant , its kitchen (elevated pub food ) just added Friday, Saturday and Sunday lunch service.
The ox tail poutine is incredible. They were also kind enough to give us extra bread to soak up all the amazing curry of their mussels dish. Beer selection , decor and service make this place a must.
Occupying a former Unitarian church , this craft-beer bar puts a pub-cuisine twist on its local-beef burger : a fresh pretzel bun . Read more
Excellent beer list , Top Five burger , dutch style fries , unreal ambience. Beware friends, I won't shut up about the burger for a while.
European-style beer bar , inspired by the beer culture in Belgium and Holland is housed in an old church . If you want to try a beer you've never find anywhere else, this is the place. Read more
Easily one of the best burgers in Louisville. Also, the beer cheese and scotch quail eggs are awesome. That's not to mention the fantastic beer selection
Excellent selection of beers - especially Scandinavian. Also, get the Brussels sprouts without hesitation.
So so so so awesome...the variety of cider..if you are uncertain, just tell the bartender what you like and the bearded guy will provide!
Great craft beer selection . Don't miss the best coffee in the city at their sister spot Gralehouse.
Cool concept and decorations good quiet place to talk, very chill ... No music so not your typical bar scene more hipster or trendy hang out.
6 page menu, 5.5 pages all dedicated to beer with the remainder being food. All of it exceptional including service 🥇
And The Lord said, "Let there be beer ! Let there be beer , served on Sundays, and in a old renovated church for the Clapper family to drink it in!" And so it was. - Michael 69:69
There is a no table service. So grab a menu at the bar , take a seat wherever you like. When you've decided on the beverage & food of your choice, place your order with the barkeep.
They have the best variety of beer in the highlands and is one of the best in Louisville.

Great beer selection . The food is not for the picky eater. The Fried Chicken Slider is super spicy !
The choir loft is cozy if it's open. There are separate beer selections available too.
There are 8 "Last Supper" scenes in the men's restroom . In one of the scenes , Jesus is holding up the biscuit he used to invent The Reggie. Oh sweet lord god almighty. The Reggie
Try the beer ramen ! It's actually pretty good.

"Every time we enter this beer bar , the selection of globally sourced beers pouring from 20 taps changes from the last time we were here."
Great scene to relax and have a beer in the garden or loft.
Cool vibe. Old church renovated as a bar . Good beer selection .
Check out the garden bar , too. The beers out there aren't listed on the inside menu.
Beware: The pickled pepper may be the spiciest thing I've ever eaten. And I'm Indian, so I eat a lot of spicy crap.
Great beer selection in a cool spot!
Great beers and really good food, too!
Chorizo tacos are indeed awesome. Get one! If they have bacon cupcakes get one of those as well .
Superb selection of craft beer
Place very pricey . But have to say worth it. Farm House burger and frites bad to the ass
Th/F/Sat visit the choir lift upstairs, for rare draft selections and sour and lambic bottles.
Be sure to sit on the back patio .
For the loveth of the cuppeth, get the pork belly sliders .
Unique atmosphere inside & out.
Great Belgian selection
The outside seating area is fantastic.
They had a Trappist ale on tap . Very nice.
Just wolfed down the shiitake sliders ...the Kim chi on them is BOSS. I don't know of anything on the menu that isn't good here.
Great beer for girls!
The best beer tasting room in the region ( sorry Sergio's). 20 constantly rotating crafted drafts , no "water".
Get the pretzel bread !
Great beer and great food. Selection changes often.
Love the laid back atmosphere. Beer selection is insane! Patio outback is nice too. This is a Nulu Institution! #Salute - Eric LaFever
