    Good pub food! We went for lunch on a Sunday and were sat and served quickly. It’s a very large place- looks like it’d be way more fun and vibey at night or when live music is happening. We also noticed a nice outdoor area that would be awesome in the spring/summer. Lots of families with young kids when we were there so it’s kid friendly! Burgers are massive and SO good. My husband really liked the buffalo chicken sandwich too.

    I love this place. The service is amazing, the food come out hot and fast and the employees are so friendly. There are so many delicious things to choose from and the assortment of on tap beer is awesome.

    Could have been a 5. Met 2 ladies for lunch and 2 of us have never been there before. Our server was very competent and the food we had was all good. I had the berry salad and it was great. So you ask.. what could be the demerit .. A gentleman was doing a sound check for the sound system… and he did it very loud and for a LONG time. It was lunch time and I can only assume he had to get it ready for that night…-but it was only about 1:30.. 2:00. Next time hopefully there won’t be an hour long sound check.. 🤞

    One of the cooler spots to eat and/or have a beer in the east end of Louisville. An outside patio and outside, upstairs porch look out on a mini-volleyball arena/amphitheatre. Lots of space inside and out to accommodate big groups. Have come here a couple of times now and have never been disappointed with the food, traditional bar food / pub fare. Excellent beer selection, friendly staff, and easy seating makes for a fun visit. There is plenty of parking but it's busy so sometimes you have to park a bit behind the building. Definitely recommend especially as the weather warms up - all in all, a great place to meet friends, have networking events, or just bring the family for dinner.

    It was our first time at Blind Squirrel and parking was awful due to the volleyball games, but it was such a great experience overall! We had to wait just about 10 minutes for a table, which wasn’t bad at all. Our waitress was so funny and really attentive. The menu is expansive and there are options on there for pretty much anyone. We wanted to try a few different things, so we settled on an appetizer in addition to our entrees. The soft pretzels with cheese were INCREDIBLE. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Truly perfect. Our entrees were very good as well, but I will say the side of broccoli was bland and not seasoned lol kind of expected sometimes when you order steamed broccoli at a bar, but a little salt and pepper would’ve gone a long way. Otherwise, this was such an awesome time and we will definitely be back!

    We came here in a whim and what a great spot! Thursday night on the patio with live music and a great atmosphere! The food was excellent and so reasonably priced. Appetizer of fried ravioli was delicious. We absolutely loved it!

    We were in town for the weekend and thought we’d give it a go. Pleasantly surprised to find this fun sports bar. Food was great and the drinks were a nice pour. I’d absolutely eat here again.

    We stopped in on our way from a car dealership. Seemed busy for a Monday evening. Service was good. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and fries. My wife had the grilled chicken ceasar salad. Our entrees were good and I would definitely eat them again. Didn’t get a picture of the buffalo chicken dip we had as an appetizer but it wasn’t as hearty as I would have liked. Overall I give the experience 5 stars.

    Are you kidding??? I paid almost 13 dollars for this and it’s basically empty. The first time I got it it was so much food to split between 2 people and this time it’s barely anything. I am so disappointed im never coming here again or recommending it to anyone I know. I went in to tell the staff and they said yeah it depends who is making it and I’m like no??? The waitress was walking away as I was talking to her. Regardless this portion is ridiculous I am so upset . This place was good the first time I tried it I really didn’t expect this …

    Went here for a wedding reception. The private room upstairs was the perfect size and away from other patrons and the food provided tasted absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was maxing and the bartenders/servers that helped cater the event were some of the best I’ve ever seen working. Truth be told I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but the Blind Squirrel knocked it out of the park.

    First time patrons, it was gorgeous weather for sitting on the patio, really liked how everything was spread out & not crammed together. Food was delicious. Drinks good. Really enjoyed it

    The food was good, not great, but they do allow dogs on the patio! The hot brown is not suggested, it needs more flavor and a different kind of meat. The chocolate cake was INCREDIBLE, and the macaroni burger was good! They have a nice beer selection and decent prices for drinks.

    Very busy place! Staff was very busy but stayed on top of things. Minor issue with our order but was resolved quickly. The Brussel spouts are excellent, the burger was good (put jalapeno on it to take it over the top). Gluten free buns are available and pretty good! Pizza was top notch. Even though it was packed, you could still carry on a conversation. They host live music and karaoke! Of course plenty of screens for watching all the sports!

    Fantastic casual place with outstanding food. I’m excited to come back in the summer as it looks like it can be a supper fun summer place. To think a place can be that good being ran by a squirrel, a blind one at that!

    Such a fun place! Our waiter Andrew was awesome. The food was delicious. 10/10

  • 5/5 Blake M. 9 months ago on Google
    A family favorite! This place offers so many different atmospheres. Inside, outside, or the event space on the second floor all have their different advantages. The food is great as well!

  • 5/5 Haley M. 1 year ago on Google
    WOW! what can I say... that was the BEST service/experience I have ever had! Our server (Stephanie) was amazing. she went above and beyond to help us out. I will definitely be back! The strawberry salad with blackened chicken was to DIE FOR! They have a great happy hour deal on well liquors as well. Thanks stephanie!!!!! XOXO

    We love the outdoor patio! It’s a beautiful spot to eat, drink, and relax. They have outdoor table and bar seating that is spacious and covered if the weather is less than ideal.

    I’m really conflicted here. Summary: the food was GREAT but the service might be some of the worst i’ve had in a long time :( Service: -we were seated for a good 15 minutes before our waiter even came to take our drink order or say anything to us. and this was only after we flagged down a different waiter and asked if we could have some service. -the food took a while to get to us because the party that was seated AFTER us, got to order their food ahead of us because their waiter actually got to them when they were seated. -we once again had to flag down the waiter just to get the check to leave. He brought it, and while I was actively getting my credit card out of my wallet, he said he’d be right back. 10 minutes of our card being on the table went by, and our waiter kept walking past our table, while the other waiters threw us sympathetic glances because by this time we were visibly upset. Eventually, we see our waiter joking around at the host stand and dancing with one of the hosts. We just walk up to the host stand and ask if we can just cash out there, and the host says no. When we point out that our waiter is right behind her, she finally gets his attention and we finally cash out and leave. I really don’t leave negative reviews often but this was actually CRAZY. It was a Monday afternoon and they weren’t very busy. The food was good, so i’m conflicted with the amount of stars to give here. Got the wings as an appetizer, and the burger was also really good. I can’t say the food alone is enough to make me come back though.

    This is a very cool venue. Great atmosphere! The live music was on point. Watching the volleyball matches while enjoying a cocktail is such a unique experience. If you haven't been, I highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!

    Had never been before Saturday night. Went with some friends to see Rob Benton perform and the staff and facility was absolutely great. The bartenders was very knowledgeable on their drinks and knew exactly what I was talking about when asked to make a special drink. Food was exceptional and delicious and everyone was nice and friendly. A++++++ service

  • 4/5 Stephen W. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a decent all the way around. The food was better than average. The service was not bad, but they may be understaffed. The live music was probably the highlight along giant and comfortable chairs that surround an enormous fire pit. Overall, I would say it was better than average, but I not planning my weekend around the place.

    The nachos are MASSIVE, we had them for sharing but it was too much for 2, we were warned prior to order but we proceeded anyway because #stubbornness and oh boy they were not lying. I had the burger with the truffle, but to be honest and In my personal opinion the nachos were much better, and the Brussels sprouts incredible as well. They have a beach theme and I found the to be very cool. The staff is super friendly. Thank you very much!

  • 5/5 Jason L. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere was casual and vibrant. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the food was typical American fare, but with just enough of a twist to make it stand out from others. I went on a weekday evening and it was busy, but not crowded. From what I've heard, along with the little things I saw, like an empty stage, this place is probably a fun and packed place on the weekends. I had the Truffle Burger which consisted of a half pound patty topped with truffle mayonnaise, arugula, bourbon caramelized onions, smoked bacon, and aged cheddar cheese. The flavors worked together very well and considering it came with a side, I think it was very reasonably priced. I did pay extra for "Twister Fries", and I would highly recommend them. They were crisp on the outside and warm & soft on the inside. I would liken them to a Tater Wedge/French Fry Hybrid.

    We came in at 5 with no reservation for what we thought was a party of 12 but turned into 19. They were so kind about getting extra tables set up to accommodate us. The service was quick and the food was excellent!
