The Pony Inn

Came in here a few times on Saturdays and it gets pretty busy and loud, but it's a good atmosphere and the service is great! There's plenty of seating and most of the tables have their own TVs. This would be a perfect place to catch a sports game. Their menu is pretty extensive and the pricing is actually lower than most other spots in the area. I highly recommend their salads - you can't beat the price and the portion!

Got the BBQ nachos at Square Roots Fest. Five stars for flavor (it's their BBQ pulled pork), but three for portion size. Ten bucks for this little dish!

Rude bartender, refused to do the brunch mimosa deal that is advertised on the website as well as a sign on the outside of the bar. We had to buy orange juice from the Walgreens across the street to even drink a single mimosa. Last time I was there my friend was given a beer with glass in it but we gave pony a second chance given it's usually empty and there are plenty of TVs. Probably shouldn't have given it a second chance...

Fun bar with live music on Wednesdays. Great to pop in on if you're in the area. The beer selection was good and service was nice.

Went to the Pony in for Trivia the other night. The trivia is definitely interesting compared to what I've done before. It was all fill in the blanks, which I was not expecting. However, we did have a good time having drinks on a Thursday night.

This place is okay with plenty of TVs for games, but we had two different waitresses that hardly ever came when we wanted another round of drinks or food. They mostly talked to guys at the bar and didn't pay attention. We had to wave them down consistently.The food is okay at best as well. The filet sliders are definitely not filet meat, and were burnt. If you're drunk, I'm sure the food would suffice, but it's not very good otherwise. Finally, they definitely don't enforce people wearing a mask when they get up from the table or go to the bathroom, but they did check vaccination cards and ids when we entered.

A sports bar in the whole sense of the word; small enough to feel intimate, but large enough to accommodate a large groups of friends.With 22 tv's screens there is no blind spot for sport watching.The place has a narrow front giving the appearance to be smaller than it is, but it is long to the rear. There are a few tables at the front, that gives the appearance of being at a patio with the opening store front windows.The long bar covers about half the length of the place, seating over 20 customers while providing enough space for the number of bartenders the place requires.On the opposite wall from the bar is a row of booths, each for 4  ppl per table (or 6 If you must).At the rear is a table for 8 or 10 customers and a few more boothsI stopped in on the Kentucky derby day. They were having a special offering unlimited, selected drinks and food for 3 hours for a set price. A good deal, and for heavy drinkers, a great deal.A DJ played music constantly, alternating with  a one person live act, playing guitar, and singing with pre recording music.The food is decent for sport bar, and I have no complaints about the service; it was friendly and cordial. Although, a little understaffed for the day.About my only complaint, and this is a matter of taste, is that the music was too loud; In a narrow space, loud music and people screaming trying to hold a conversation, this is literally a place where you can not hear yourself think.

A sport's lover's Paradise. This is an Ultimate Sports Bar. Went here for the Kentucky #Derby Day party. For $50 per person we had unlimited food, bourbon glazed smoked Pig, fried chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, salad and cornbread. Unlimited beverages included Woodford Reserve mint juleps which by the way we're very good, important, crafts, and domestic pints, Pony punch cocktails and wine. Both live and recorded music added to the festivities.The drinks and food were really good, but the company and atmosphere were even better. A picture of the lady in the yellow dressWith approximately 25 flat screen TVs, including one of each table in the main bar you can watch a sporting event from any place in the main area. Lots of space, with at least seating for 8 at the bar oh, there's also 9 booths thaty seat 4 and tables in both the front and the back in order to accommodate many more.Loved the rustic decor, and the efficient staff.My only complaint, is that we were sitting in the back and the music was way too loud. In fact, when we left, you could still hear the music from a half a block away.Will come back here with friends on another occasion

I went here for the half price appetizers. Upon arriving they check your ID at the door no matter what time of day it is. I was greeted and properly seated. Our waitress gave us menus but not a welcoming friendly attitude. Very nonchalant for it to be a Friday afternoon. She barely gave us 5 minutes to view the menu before asking if we wanted to place an order for a drink (alcoholic). She was sweet but pushy on wanting us to order something besides water. So friend and I ordered a jack and coke and one margarita. She took our meal order and the food arrived in a timely fashion. The wings are basic bar food. Either hot or bbq. No in between. The fries.... don't get them unless you do waffle fries. I didn't know he fries were going to be a mockery of steak and shake's French fries. Plus they were nearly burnt to a crisp and no salt/ seasoning added as described on the menu. My friend on the other hand, ordered the calamari and waffle fry nachos. Her dishes were amazing. Definitely would've paid full price if they were not half off. The one thing I did like about the bar here is your option to choose top shelf liquor or well liquor. And if you choose top shelf in any drink, it's only a $2-3 up charging.

Love the pony! Great food and drinks and amazing DJ! Fav spot for Kentucky games. The location of perfect it's right on Belmont making it easy to get to in lake view.
