This place is the secret I want to keep from others. Please don't crowd me out!!Where else can you get burgers, sandwiches, sushi and authentic noodes? I also love their crab rangoon, shrimp tempura and jalapeño bites...oh, and then there's the big wings!! All this at very reasonable prices...hence the reason I sat on this review for so long without publishing/sharing it.Oh, they also have a good beer selection? But I don't drink beer so I'll just go with what others say. There's usually only one very hard working server who also tends bar. So if speedy, smiling service is what you need, please leave the table for me and hubby.

If River City Drafthouse isn't on your radar yet, let me help you fix your life. This place has everything you didn't know you needed: sushi, wings, beer, and games--aka the holy quadrinity of happiness.First off, the sushi. Who knew you could get rolls this fresh at a spot with "Drafthouse" in the name? Then there are the wings--crispy, saucy, and perfectly spiced. I got the Gorilla Warfare and they were spicy but delicious. The draft beer list? Great! It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but with hops. Whether you're an IPA enthusiast or just here for something light and breezy, they've got it. Bonus: it won't break your wallet, so you can keep saying "just one more round" guilt-free.And the games? Genius. Whether you're here to flex your chess skills or just throw a Connect Four token at your friend for stealing the last wing, there's fun for everyone.River City Drafthouse is the kind of place where you can eat, drink, and be merry without spending a fortune. Highly recommend--and don't forget to bring your A-game. (Literally. They've got games.)

My husband and I went to try River City drafthouse for a date night and it was the perfect, casual place to go. It is a small restaurant and feels homey and like the sort of place that has regulars. Our service was incredible and our server gave great recommendations. The prices were also so, so reasonable for such delicious food.The crab Rangoon was my favorite part of our meal. I'd even say Best crab Rangoon in town! I had the Philly cheesesteak with tater tots and they were tasty. My husband had two different sushi rolls and said they were just as good as any sushi place. If you're looking for a beer and some delicious, reasonably priced food, this is your place!

Consistently tried their Nigiri & Sashimi combo, and KY Burger. Ordered off their All Day Happy Hour Sunday menu, Salmon Avocado Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll. The proprietors are so hospitable.

It's always great to find a hidden gem in the city. And this is it. The outside is unassuming which is perfect. Inside, 10-15 tables and steady traffic of carry out. Didn't realize but they're happy hour is all day Sunday. We tried the tots with beer cheese and bacon (and side of ranch). Also had the spicy California roll. Which was amazing!! We all said we could come back and just order rolls and rolls if this. So simple but amazingly good. The tots were crispy and cooked perfectly. Definitely order againThen we tried a bunch of different flavors of wings. First, their wings are HUGE. Like what everyone was used to a couple years ago. We tried; mild, hot Buffalo, Korean bbq, Carolina gold rush. And lastly Gorilla Warfare. Note- the description they give is exactly that. Like gorilla say banana... yep. Ur tasting banana. Only thing is the Caribbean spices were a little over bearing... like putting too much cumin in something. And the heat just lingers forever. Our favorite hands down was Korean bbq. Sweet, spicy and perfect heat. Not a huge mustard fan but the Carolina was solid second. . The hot Buffalo are not your typical Buffalo. More a Korean spin. Not my fav but I was expecting more traditional. But that's my opinion. If I had to compare them locally... the first place that came to mind was Saints wings in St Matthews. Same size or bigger and prepared almost the same. I would stick with ranch. Their blue cheese was not blue cheese but whatever. We also got the shrimp fried rice to go. And yeah... it was the best we've had in the city. And that was without adding a bunch of soy sauce. As for drinks- no fountain drinks which is fine. It's all in cans. And only sell beer. But their draft beer menu is solid! Tried the Atrium Kolsch. New favorite beer!!We will definitely be back and probably stick to sushi and some the apps. We didn't get to try the pretzel but it was huge and looked amazing.

A diamond in the rough. At first I was skeptical of the thought of sushi and beer, but let me tell you, it works. Will be back to try the Super Volcano roll.

It has taken us 4 visits before I have reviewed. This is a great local owned restaurant. Small but decent selection of local draft beers and a diverse menu. The menu has American and Asian appetizers and main course. Something for everyone. The service is prompt and attentive. Very clean, nice and quiet place. They have a few tables on the sidewalk.We have tried the Bavarian Pretzel which is large enough for 4 people. It came to the table hot and fresh. Pay extra for the beer cheese, it is worth it.We can''t get enough of the Burmese Fried Noodles with shrimp. You can get it mild or as hot as you like it. Nice size order and this is our favorite Asian noodle dish in Louisville!We have tried the wings with the River City Sauce and they were delicious. Hot and lots of flavor, good size wings, and juicy.The seaweed salad is a must to eat with some of the best sushi rolls in town. Our go to rolls are the S-10 Louisville roll and Spicy Tuna roll.Plus they have a Happy Hour daily from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. Many good deals on food and all draft beers $1.00 off.You can't go wrong with this locally family ran/owned restaurant.We have not had an issue parking on the street. The parking is metered and it pays to download the Go502 app to pay the meter, especially on Bardstown road area.Enjoy!

I went there for the first time today. We were just there as a spot to grab a drink before going to our destination. Selection of beers were good. Service was great! I would shout out the bartender but we didn't get his name. Parking is street parking. I don't know if there is a smoking area. Definitely want to go back and take a real look at their menu.
