This place is so neat. What a wonderful place to watch a concert. The food was awesome. Will definitely be on the lookout for any upcoming shows.

the arcade part is what brought me here, most pinball machines are a dollar to play or $2 for 3 games. There is a couple quarter pinballs and a couple that are 50 cents. Probably 50/50 of vintage to new age pinball. Arcade is in the front, bar in the middle, & music venue in the back. Bar also has kombucha on tap as a non alcoholic option, which is awesome! I had the pineapple ginger, there’s also blueberry & pomegrante, I felt super bubbly 🥰Also has an outside smokers patio. Overall great bar, awesome vibes. If ur thinking about it, check it out!

Great place to relax! The pinball arcade is amazing! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in town!

Little neighborhood bar that has become a legend! Good food and drink and a friendly staff. Fantastic music venue in the back and a great patio space. National bands, epic pinball games, great food. Why aren't you there now?

Here for Harley Poe. 5-15-2022. Grilled cheese tot and chips queso, delicious thick Texas toast great atmosphere awesome pinball machines.

The best most authentically Louisville bar. No fake business here, only real deal tunes, drinks, vintage games that WORK. Best bar in town don’t tell your friends if they aren’t cool.

Came here tonight for a concert. Dropped in early for dinner. I tried one of their specials, the roast pork tacos. The food is fantastic and service is friendly and sociable as always. If you want a chill spot to hang out and relax, come to Z-Bar!

Great place, really relaxed, nice outdoor deck, pinball machines in great shape

Great times all around, $5 happy hour ice cold drafts, plenty of pinball in great shape and awesome local music on the stage!!! Thanks so much, see ya next time 😎

Great food, great shows, great games, great time. It’s a fun and chill vibe with friendly staff and affordable food and drinks. (The tots are to die for!) We attended a show in the back and had such a great time in this small-venue setting. After the show, we closed out the night playing pin ball and arcade games. A fantastic date night all in all!

I've been here twice over the course of several years, once for a gaming convention and this time, a concert. It's a nice and cozy place with a welcoming atmosphere. The concert hall is proportionate enough for a small-to-moderate sized crowd. Even being in the back, you don't feel like you're largely distanced from the stage and have a good view. They also have a heated patio (though not enclosed, just a few awnings) that was pleasant enough to sit in while waiting. I would definitely like to visit again for another concert sometime in the future or just a little night out.

Classic local establishment. Solid, interesting drink selection and great food. The new venue portion looks and sounds great too.

Saw an amazing show there. The backseat lovers. They killed it. The venue was incredible. I'm in a wheelchair but they took me right in watching over me made sure I was comfortable. The food was yummy . Plenty of space in and outdoors. The owner and the booking agent couldn't have been nicer. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great time guys. Rock and Roll

This place was really fun, had great drinks and good food. Live band was awesome and arcade games were a blast. Glad we found it!

We had so much fun! We went to see Jonathan Richman, and the show was amazing. We also enjoyed the food, drinks, and pinball. The staff and fellow patrons made us feel right at home. We can't wait to come back again!

ZBar is dope! It's a great atmosphere for a chill evening with the spouse, or it can be just as awesome as a venue to see a local show. The backroom add on the owners did a few years ago is fantastic. And the owners are eager to help out in the community as much as possible, which is so important and just a huge plus for this type of business. Best pinball around for sure too! Jessica

Haven’t been to a bar before today! I just turned 21 In March and my girlfriend in April. We were referred by a friend and I have to say we loved it! The bartenders were great and the drinks they came up with we’re amazing!!To the guy in the front THANK YOU WE WILL BE RETURNING!! 5+++ ⭐️

Great venue! Amazing beer selection and even better shows.

Rating is for the venue and the bar, I have not eaten there. The venue to me was a great size for a small band. Sound and lighting were good and even with a good crowd you are close to the stage. The bar had a good selection of beers and the service was great. Will be back for another concert.

Really great venue, saw Weakened Friends there. The audio quality is really good, especially the Bass. Street parking was not a problem at all.

We had such a good time. Everyone was friendly, fast, and nice. Loved the pinball machines. We didn't eat anything but the food that was coming out looked and smelled great. All my drinks were good.

A great environment with awesome people. A stage for concerts indoors and tons of pin ball machines. To top it off the Buffalo wings were perfectly cooked with the right amount of heat.

We came here last night for the phix concert. The atmosphere is so hometown. Kinda like a cheers vibe with a twist. The bartenders knew their drinks the door guy was very polite and friendly. I can see why the business has been going strong since 1938. Really enjoyed my time here. Ordered fries that came out tasting great. Not sure if it's cause it's bar food mixed with alcohol or because they did a great job. All around though me and the ol lady had a really good time.

Very little seating, but the owner befriended us and let us sit at one of the four tables. Great venue for up close and personal viewing.

Good beer selection, friendly staff, lots of pinball machines, decent playlist = great place. No Scotch, but that's a common Louisville issue.

They have great beer selections. The service is fast and the musicians they have are absolutely amazing. The patio is big! I wish I had pictures guys. Sorry. They also have a few arcade games!

Zanzabar is an wonderful place! Live music and a huge patio. Wonderful bar and amazing pinball machines! But the best part are the employees and local patrons. We had a great time playing the machines and wonderful conversations at the bar. Settle up at the bar, grab a drink and a snack and just enjoy yourself.

What a cool place. And they hosted a show from the Magic City Hippies - which to be fair is what brought in. Awesome dive-like bar with an incredible patio and music venue to boot. Nice beer selection and seemingly popular food menu. Friendly staff cultivates a dedicated group of locals. Bring friends, it’s a fun time.

Cool bar with great food. We all enjoyed what we ordered. I got the loaded tots and it was the best loaded tots I’ve had. Very garlicky and a good portion. The death star cookie we got to top it off is a must try!

It was okay vibe for me. It is good for college students and other people who like to drink a lot and party. They do offer live music but it come with cover charge. It is not too bad. I like this place. I could come and hang out on a good day.

Very nice arcade/bar/music venue with a friendly staff. With around 15 games and 15 pinball machines. Food is very good and a little more pricey then sit down chain restaurants. (Is a nicer place, so that makes sense) Can bring kids, but I would avoid nights when there are shows.

Great small venue to see live music, plus our bar food was great! Fran the bartender was awesome! She recommended the BLT and it did not disappoint!
