The Hub Louisville

When I lived off Frankfort Avenue in Clifton, I was walking distance to a bar called The Hub. I've been there to celebrate the birthdays of friends, to ring in the new year, to have drinks with my boyfriend (who later became my husband), and even to celebrate turning 40 and fabulous. It's one of the places that fits the bill for so many kinds of occasions. It's not a bar that's been around forever, but it's one that still fills me with nostalgia. The Hub kind of has an upscale industrial vibe, classy, but not pretentious. It has a patio, a dance floor, a room for private parties, and plenty of room for having dinner (or brunch) with friends. It might not be the first place you think of when you think of carryout, but The Hub is a crowd pleaser in our house. The food travels well. The fries stay crispy. The menu isn't huge, but what they serve is far elevated from typical bar food. We know what to expect. It feels like home.I called The Hub tonight in a moment of frustration. It was later than normal and I hadn't come up with an idea that would please both my husband and toddlers. They didn't answer super fast and I impatiently hung up. To my surprise, they called me right back, took my order, and said they would call me when it was almost ready. That's the kind of service that I think would please anyone. Pictured is the adult grilled cheese on sourdough with white cheddar, gouda, balsamic fig jam, arugula, and house-cut fries. I added grilled chicken. In the second picture, the Hub burger- certified angus beef, white cheddar, bistro sauce, arugula, brioche bun, and house-cut fries. Finally, boneless wings with house Korean bbq sauce and green onions. (Full disclosure- a couple of these were eaten before I thought to snap a picture.) The only thing missing was a Scarlet Lady.Dinner is done. Nobody cried. Not once. I have a one-year old, a three-year old, and a husband with a man cold. I didn't have any of the three when I started frequenting The Hub but, regardless of my needs, they've always delivered. Whether you're looking for a party (or trying to throw one), on the hunt for a dance floor, need an event space, a spot for drinks on the patio, or even carryout...I'm confident they'll deliver for you too!

Two of us dined at The Hub for an early dinner and drinks. Don't let the small menu offering fool you. Great things packed into this flavor packed selection.We had decided on small plate appetizers of fried pickles, buffalo cauliflower, and boneless chicken wings. Our server, Mandy, suggested that we split the orders to include their buffalo style and their version of Korean bbq sauce. Excellent call by her. Every item tasted great . Buffalo style came with and ample amount of blue cheese crumbles and chopped banana peppers, the bbq sauce was sweet and garnished with chopped peanuts. Our cocktails where made perfectly. We had a well bourbon and Coke and I ordered a Sazerac which had the right amount of absinthe flavor.Again, Mandy was very attentive with water refills and checking on us at appropriate times. She's a pro.We loved the layout of the place that doubles as a dance club in the later hours. We are new fans of The Hub and will make it a regular stop on our rotation.

Ate here on Sunday morning for brunch after a wedding. The avocado toast was in little bites and had an amazing kick to them! We were in a party of around 10 or so people and everyone loved their food. We didnt get drinks as we had a large drive ahead of us but the menu looked promising for good drinks! Husband had grits and loved them and the kids each had a burger.

Plenty of room for our group of five for a Saturday birthday brunch. It was a cooler early September day, so lovely to sit outside under the umbrellas. The only issue with outside were flies buzzing around our dishes- not much that the restaurant can do about that! The sitting area was spacious and comfortable for talking.The service was good and the wait staff wore masks (thank you The Hub!!!!). Our waitress had a good tempo for checking on us and was prepared with a list of foods that were gluten-free for our wheat-sensitive birthday boy. The food was mostly fine, though the sunny side up eggs were SO salty and the coffee was slightly gritty. It wasn't just me. My dad ordered the same meal as me and he also said the eggs were very salty. The biscuit was fine, the butter was also way too salty, and the fruit cup was very good. Everyone else liked their meals well enough, though no one cleaned their plates.

I have been to The Hub many times for brunch and a few times for dinner or just a drink. The staff and service are always wonderful. The location is great right in the middle of Frankfort Avenue making it convenient when shopping or spending time on Frankfort Avenue. For dinner, the adult grilled cheese is a great choice and very good! The nachos are a great appetizer to share with friends, and all cocktails I have had are great! The espresso martini was good, not the best I've had but good. For brunch, the avocado toast is usually good but when I went this past weekend they had changed from using avocado slices to a mashed version that wasn't as good. Everyone in my group was very happy with their meals, the breakfast burrito, chicken and grits, and smoked salmon toast are all great they said!They also have great mimosa deals for brunch! I went for the Galentine's Brunch and the place was decorated and they had cute pink menus and strawberry mimosas! Definitely recommend will be back!

I have only been here for brunch, but I definitely want to go back for more. I'm basic and looove brunching on the weekends. The Hub is such a cool, relaxed spot (during the day at least... It turns into a club in the evenings). I try not to overstuff myself at brunch to save room for the cocktails of course, so I opted for the avocado toast. So YUMMY! Sourdough, sweet pepper relish, arugula, chili oil, soft boiled egg, and sea salt. It can also come vegan, as well. And then for the brunch cocktail deals.... Single mimosa $2Double mimosa $4Bottle $14Not sure you can beat that!! Great place for brunch.. or even their drag brunches!

Had Easter brunch and the food was so good I didn't take pics. The cocktail menu is amazing. The island ting was ohhh sooo good. I had a great experience and I'll definitely be back. The staff was attentive and nice.

Drinks were kinda pricey but the place is nice we got a sex on the beach and bud light and it was 17$ plus a tip vip rooms are nice dance floor is a little small for the amount of people had a great time

THEY PUT A DEFAULT 25% TIP ON THEIR $10 COVERS!! Beware, the girls/bouncers at the front default a 25% tip on every card transaction for their entry fee. A tip for an already overpriced cover is one of the craziest things I've seen out.

***this review is for THE HUB PM - the nightclub at the hub, not the restaurant ***Went to Friday night Latin night for Halloween weekend and had a really good time. Drink prices are typical, the entry fee was pricey - 15 bucks with no reentry ability - but the area was spacious enough. Good music - two different stages with two different performers. They have a fogger and strobes and the place is all decorated stylishly. You can tell they're going for a big city night club vibe and I love it - even if the establishment itself isn't all that big. The place was styled up and the employees and fellow patrons were very friendly. Very very friendly and nice. That's such a breath of fresh air! I felt safe and able to have a fun time. It's loud in there so not much of a talky place but a decent place to party the night away under neon lights with some reggaeton. Also, they offer a free spin around photo op which is neat. Fun fact, Jack Harlow paid this place a visit last Friday night so you know it's got some credit. If you got spare change and wanna have a night out, this is a decent place to experience it.
