Love this neighborhood local spot, very friendly and welcoming ......Joy the bartender seems to make that happen!! I stopped in for a few drinks and a quick bite and next thing I know I’ve been there several hours cause Joy is so friendly and takes such good care of everyone. Their live entertainment is always good and just a fun place in general. My favorite foods........ fish sandwich, Wings are fabulous, tenders too, some of the best onion rings I’ve had and their burger is damn good as well. What are you waiting for? Come on in!! It’s not as much fun without Joy though just saying!!

My husband and I visited Barrell 33 after checking out options for Louisville Burger Week. The parking was very limited but we were immediately seated. Unfortunately, our table for two was directly next to incoming guests waiting to be seated. It definitely made us feel awkward every time someone came in. We watched as each table around us got the most delicious looking plates of fish, chicken, grilled cheese, fries, etc. I was so excited to try their smash burger on a gluten free bun! Not very many restaurants offer a bun I can eat. It did not disappoint! The burger was delicious and flavorful! Instead of a side, we ordered the "Tavern Tots" appetizer to share. It was fully loaded and saucy. I really liked them! We can't wait to go back and try a few other options. Though the venue didn't leave us feeling the most comfortable, the food definitely made up for it.

Great neighborhood food and bar. Service and atmosphere are excellent. Bartender Joy makes everyone feel like family and the live music is just right for a fun night out.

This is a restaurant with a great atmosphere, service, and taste. After receiving unpleasant service at another bar, I went to this restaurant, and it was a healing experience for my mind. The onion rings were so delicious that they tasted like they were homemade. If you want to go to a bar late at night, I recommend going here. It's a hidden gem.

Food and drinks were awesome!! We got the fried pickles and tater tots to start and they were delicious. I ordered the chicken tenders and my boyfriend got the buffalo chicken wrap. Both meals were very good and I highly recommend the side of mac and cheese. The atmosphere was laid back and fun. All of the staff were super friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough, I can’t wait to go back!
