Goodwood Brewing

On July 30, 2023, I met the famous Bruce K! We were both starving, so we popped into Goodwood Brewing due to convenience. I don't drink beer, and although Goodwood Brewing specializes in beer, of course, they had some pretty decent rose wine, which was tasty and well chilled, and cheap at $5 a glass.We ordered nachos and pretzels with cheese dip, but unfortunately the cheese used for the dip and the nachos was utterly disgusting, hence the two stars. But the drinks were good, and we spent about four hours talking -- we only left when we were told they were closing at 8pm.Surprisingly the place wasn't very busy the entire time we were there, so it was fairly quiet and a good place to talk and have drinks. I'd give the place three stars if the food was better![Yelp collections: Louisville/Indianapolis 2023; Louisville, KY 2023; Gross Food; Cheap Wine]

This was our first stop on our history and food tour of NuLu and rightfully so. We were introduced to a 2-beer sampler flight of a lager and a nut brown ale, which were both delicious. The ale had me swooning though -- I even commented that it would be good with ice cream -- and I was NOT joking. We also had a pretzel with mustard and a beer cheese, which were delicious served with the beers, and I could have stayed here all day. We intend to return in the near future to do just that and introduce our friends to this wonderful experience. Service was terrific. The large booths are great to be able to huddle with your group and have conversation. We did not feel rushed or bothered.

While I've ordered Goodwood beers at restaurants I had not ventured to their spot in Nulu. I visited on a Friday evening and was able to find parking on the street. Goodwood sits on the corner and the space is actually smaller than expected. Seats at the bar, high tops and some booths. They also have a decent sized stage and often have music. The beers? Mine was amazing. Fossil Resin amber ale. I love amber beers! On tap and cold.Food was a mixed bag. Nachos - messy but plenty to eat and share. Pretzel - huge and the beer cheese was good, definitely do not expect it to be fresh and hot though. Wings - enjoyed the walnut brown ale sauce but they are puny and for the price, that's a hard pass. Pork sandwich - the worst of the food and I regret spending money on it as it was half my bill. I've had better at a catholic picnic and the meat is definitely from a grocery refrigerator. Do not order this!Come for the beer, cheaply made app and music. Those expectations will hit the mark.

Very first stop in Louisville, helped that it was across the street from where we were staying. Happened to show up right before 7 pm bingo so played while having some wings, nachos, salad and awesome beer. An overall positive experience and on par with similar joints.

Stopped in at Goodwood Brewing while at a car show in Louisville, I had the Brisket Grilled cheese with tots and a Red 4man red ale. The sandwich had great flavor and the brisket was on point with crisp flavorful tots. The red ale was smooth and crisp and very flavorful. This is a must stop when visiting Louisville.

Our first stop - me and the lovely Jasmine A. from Vancouver - where we're hanging out and attempting to earn the "Soused" badge. Looking back now, it's tough to believe that we were here for five hours because the time just zipped past, eating drinking and lots of talking.Our bartender was friendly, attentive and helpful. We demolished their nachos with chicken and the pretzel sticks. Decent bar food and while eating, I enjoyed a couple of their fantastic house beers.This is a comfy spot and on a hot summer day, it was nice to sit inside and enjoy air conditioning and cold beverages.[Review 20179 overall - 219 in Kentucky - 1155 of 2023.]

This was a really cool brewery and the staff was amazing. We got there towards the end of the night and they hung out with us and chatted for a really long time. They also do their own burger which was actually pretty good and I highly recommend getting that rather thangetting some of their beers we tried all 12 of them. They're only a couple that I enjoyed but their staff was amazing and everyone was super friendly.

Hello Everyone:We stopped at Goodwood Brewing for their Stout and also some beer cheese and pretzels.Analysis:The Bavarian pretzel was very nice, not too much salt, and easy to break into smaller pieces to dip into the Lager beer cheese so every bit had some cheese!The beer cheese was quite good. Just the right amount of tang to it, thick (did not run off the pretzels), and a nice overall complex flavor.Their brand of stout was one of the best we have had. Tasted of chocolate, toffee and coffee. I can even see this poured over some vanilla ice cream or infused into an espresso layer cake. :-) Very nice brew. We are in the process of trying to find some for sale locally where we live in Arizona. The reason for the four stars (and not five) was because the restrooms were dirty and it was fairly warm inside the building (and it was very hot and humid outside so we were looking forward to cooling off). Considering we stopped in about 11:30 am, we would not expect this to be an issue. Because the ambient room temperature made our beer warm up faster than we would have liked. But, a fun place to stop in, order their Stout, some large soft pretzels and some beer cheese and enjoy!

So Goodwood Brewing is not a brewery I frequent all the time. I have gone for the Louisville Ale trail and Books and Brews event. It's been maybe a year since I visited this location. There is street parking of course, you may or may not be able to park close. The inside is average on space, I do like the brick wall behind the bar. There is also a live music stage, I do love live music and I forget they have it here, need to come see a performance sometime. I sat at the bar and was waited on rather quickly. I got the Louisville Lager and my stamp for books and brews. And I even bought a few stickers. They have some cool merch here as well. There is a game room here but I never been inside it, need to explore it next visit. Louisville Lager is a favorite of mine, I have tried their other beers in the past but, the Louisville Lager takes the cake. It's one of their signature beers. Even though I don't come here a lot, I may make that a habit. And make note to come see a music performance.

The Drunken Chicken sandwich could have been great. It wasn't because there was barely any chicken on the sandwich; hardly worth the $15.99 charge. It came with tater tots or fries. Will never order again. I just got a chicken sandwich at another restaurant with....and I am not kidding with 4 times the chicken for $10.00.
