Sidebar At Whiskey Row

Wow. I am celiac and this place was great. I had a fantastic burger that came with a gluten-free bond. I avoided the fries since they are cooked in oil that is cross contaminated. I finished off with a vanilla milkshake which was out of this world. It was all fantastic, but I'm still thinking about that milkshake Also, the menu was pretty funny When you see it you will get what I mean.

I have not been here since before covid and will not be back after last nights nightmare.There is a big convention in town and Louisville restaurant week . Staff claimed there were 2 servers on , not sure you could call them servers .I went in and stood at the hostess stand for 5 minutes. I was wondering if they switched to seat yourself . I stepped in several feet from the hostess stand then a guy in the kitchen alcove steps out from being on his cell phone. Ask if want the bar or a table. I picked a table. I was seated across from the kitchen . From that point forward I started to become sick because there was this heavy fryer grease Oder coming from the kitchen it was overwhelming. Made me loose my appetite. I sat here another 5 minutes and still no server . No I will be right with you . Just nobody. Table next to me had recently got food and was putting condiments on it and cutting so I thought there surely would be one by soon before I passed out or barfed from fry grease smell. I finally got up and stood by the middle of the stairs waiting for any staff. Then the tattooed host guy and what turned out to be a sever . Short dark hair glasses chubby with an attitude. I asked if there was a server in my section since now I had been there 10 minutes and they were not that busy .The response was a nasty growl of there is only 2 servers. We will be there soon. Now I was debating leaving as almost another 5 minutes go by. Been there almost 15 Minutes and nothing. In fact tattooed host guy was also running food . Where were the servers , seriously? The tattoo host guy came and took my order at this point I knew I was getting no service because they just couldn't do their job. I just order the milk shake .the bourbon ball milkshake.It took from 7:11 pm to 7:23 pm another 12 minutes just to bring a shake . It like it was a burger that had to be cooler 12 minutes.Even the couple who had just got their food was done eating now. In the upper deck the had 3 tables, a couple , a group of 4 women then a table of 6 guys . On the main level they also only had 3 tables with about 3/4 guest each . All already had drinks and had ordered . The tattoo guy continued to bring food out . The 2 females that were hired to be servers literally did nothing. Then could not handle 3 tables each . Then the dark hair fat one complained to me there were only 2 servers . Seriously most restaurants give you 6 tables and you can't handle 3 without crying. No work ethic there . Not my fault you can't handle the job . Wasn't not busy enough to justify more servers . Maybe if the 2 there Jody worked. Oh shake was mediocre. I won't go back the have done such a poor job.

This place was great. You walk down the hill of Whiskey Row and find this hidden gem. Burgers are their specialty. They have many different burgers, mostly with a legal theme. You could get just a regular burger, but with the great options I wanted to try something else. I had the hung jury burger with parmesan truffle fries. This was a thick burger, cooked to a perfect medium. Grilled mushrooms and onions topped with beer cheese. The flavors mixed wonderfully. The fries were served with aioli on the side for doing, this was great as you could use less or more depending on your preference.Great place for a quick dinner.

I'm in Louisville a good bit for work. Most of the food downtown skews bar, which means not so healthy. So I was happy to see some healthier options on the menu of Sidebar when I came here for a work dinner during my most recent trip to Louisville. We were a party of 8 and since it was a Tuesday seating wasn't a problem. We ordered drinks and the benedictine dip and nachos for the table. The dip was like tzatziki without the garlic...really fresh. The nachos were good too, kind of standard nachos with a nice amount of toppings. People ordered burgers but I was excited about the salmon sandwich so got that with ancient grains and kale as the side. I didn't know a kale salad was an option or I would have ordered that. The sandwich was good and I ended up adding the leftover benedictine dip to it. The grains were okay. A little bland but I was happy to not be eating French fries again. I really enjoyed this place and will come back, I'm sure, since I'm here a good bit.

The bartender was super awesome. Great with places to visit throughout the city. The drinks were great. I have to say might be one of the best burgers I have ever had. Laid back atmosphere. I will be back for sure when in town.

Checked Yelp for a good burger and we decided on Sidebar since we haven't been there.Parking was a little challenging and ended up across the street for $20. A little steep for just going to dinner.The atmosphere was warm but there was a chill and I noticed some people were eating with their coats still on.We started out with the pretzel/beer cheese appetizer. The cheese was amazing but the little pretzel bites had seen too much heat.Both of use got a different burger and both of us liked them very much. Your side is extra so be careful there...and they have several good choices.Milkshakes for both of us but I just had to try the Bourbon Ball "guilty" shake. It was amazing but also the most expensive shake I have, or will ever have again @ $20!What was going to be just go out and get a good burger turned into an unexpected expensive venture.Our waitress was very efficient and friendly so after the tip our bill was over $100 for two people...then add the parking. Although I really liked this place, it isn't something I could afford to do very often and not quite in the level of "one of those special places" you don't mind splurging on.

Forever loving this place. The fries used to be better with pulled (shredded) chicken, but the cheese just makes them unbeatable! Koby as a bartender is top notch-unbeatable. Super cool vibe, lots of whiskey/bourbon/cocktails.

We chose this for my birthday dinner. Everyone in our party of 6 loved their meal. Even the kale salad someone ordered was a hit. We could have skipped the pretzel appetizer but it wasn't bad. Our server was awesome. He was so knowledgeable & also knows a good burger. :) The fries are separate for $4-5.5.. we could have easily split. The truffle fries with the dip was our favorite of the few we tried. We also got extra sauces to dip & everyone agreed they had good ranch. We went around 7:45pm on a Wednesday night & it was a quiet chill night. All in all we had a great experience & will definitely be back sometime.

Came downtown for a show and dinner. First class service (Russel) was awesome. Food was great, atmosphere fantastic.

Nice atmosphere. Service was good. Ordered Sticky Situation to start which was great. Burgers and drinks were also good. Highly recommend.
