What. A. Cool. Place. I thoroughly recommend visiting this place. It's a huge hangout complex with great service, food, and drinks. It's fun just to walk around and explore! We liked it so much we visited twice during our trip to Louisville! read more

We're fans of Hauck's Corner, so when a family member decided to have her birthday lunch there we were up for a repeat visit. Same process, order and pay at the bar. Then when your "puck" lights up, get your order at the pickup window. Like all restaurants, Hauck's does some things better than others. Their burgers are excellent. If you're into smoked wings (I'm not), they're very good. Served hot, crispy, and not soggy. The sticky ribs appetizer were also excellent. I decided to try something other than a burger and went with the Big Brisket Dip. Smoked brisket, caramelized onions, cheese, horseradish aioli, and a side of au jus served on a hoagie bun. I added a side of steak fries. Hauck's nailed it. An excellent sandwich and crispy fries. I had hoped to take half home, but I just couldn't put the darn thing down. My wife ordered Dirty Nachos. They were a disappointment. Queso drenched chips? Nope. Black beans? Few and far between. A touch of pico. We added chicken (it was shredded). Some dry cheese (not melted). And a spicy aioli. Not at all what was described. The dish was so dry I thought it was designed to encourage ordering more beer to wash it down. Oh well, every time at the plate can't be a hit. One of the best things about Hauck's is the fun vibe. Lots of indoor/outdoor seating. Tons of games to keep little ones busy. And very pet friendly. We brought our Barkley, and he got to hang with two new friends, beautiful Collies. read more

Wow! Just Wow! While in the area, we recently stopped at Hauck's for lunch. It seems that establishments typically have a vibe/aesthetic/visual appeal or great food, but not both. Hauck's came in clutch with both! From what I remember from talking with others, Hauck's was open from 1912 until 2019, operating as a dry goods/grocery store. The establishment closed in 2019 and was reopened as a restaurant and bar in 2022. From the moment we stepped through the door, the space and staff were welcoming. I was happy to see that much was maintained during the renovation, including original painted wall advertisements, the wooden floors, and the green wall tile. I love the eclectic decor, my favorite was a seating area that uses antique safes for cocktail tables! The place is huge with indoor dining areas galore and an expansive outdoor area. Food and drink orders are made and paid for at the bar, where you receive a buzzer. When your buzzer buzzes, you pick your food up at a back counter. The food is fresh made and there is something for everyone on the menu. I ordered the cobb salad and it was huge. It was loaded with grilled chicken, hard-boiled egg, avocado, bacon, cucumbers, tomatoes and bleu cheese crumbles. My husband got the Signature Burger and on my goodness, it looked delicious. He loved it. Parking is street side. We found a space about a block away. I know that we will be back to Hauck's, it was our kind of place. read more

If you want a great dining experience with a nostalgic flair dating back to the 40's, 50's & 60's I strongly suggest you visit Hauck's Corner in the Germantown / Schinitzelberg neighborhood of Old Louisville. It was originally a drygoods/hardware/grocery store that dates back to 1912. In 2022 it was transformed into a restaurant but kept its eclectic appeal as evidenced by the attached photos. You order your food at the bar and wait for your hand-held buzzer to light up signalling your food is ready. You go to another section of the establishment to procure it. My wife's cobb salad could have fed a family of three. I had the signature burger that required dislocating my jaw to take a bite! The home-made onions rings were also a great choice. There is also an attached pizzeria and playground area for children and pets. I rarely give out 5 stars but this place is definitely one. The only drawback is trying to find parking in the surrounding neighborhood; but well worth it. read more

This is a favorite hangout place especially when it's nice enough to sit on their patio! The patio is huge, and so fun with all of the statues. Last Saturday we hung out here for several hours for beers and burgers. Toast Malone is my fave but there are some close contenders, like the Firebird. A huge plus is that their entrees can easily be made vegan. Their fries are crispy and the ranch is great quality. read more

We stopped by Hauck's for apps and a few drinks - it was decorated for the holidays! Love the prosecco on tap and the delicious bar food. We tried the poutine with shredded beef and the fries were crispy and well seasoned, with gooey cheese topped with a heaping portion of meat. read more

This is my fourth time visiting Haucks and my opinion on the food hasn't changed. It's just not that great. This time I ordered the Firebird with queso mac & cheese, my partner ordered the Toast Malone with fries. Nothing stood out flavor wise, the burgers were bland and the mac and cheese was watery. My partner said, "if I had a few more beers this food might taste pretty good". The atmosphere of this restaurant is why I continue to come back with newbies. The old carnival rides, Ronald McDonald statue and box of crayons hanging from the roof really add charm and character. There's tons of seating (inside and out) from iron chairs, to swings, to bar tables. They have a board game shelf too. You order at the bar and pick up at the food truck window. If you're coming with little ones they have an outdoor play area that's fenced in (a nice plus). As cool as this place looks, I don't think I'll be back unless the quality of the food increases. read more

My family of 4 met for lunch on a Saturday. No issue to find a table, either inside or outside, and some is in between with garage doors open to the patio. Fairly robust menu to meet most expectations for pub grub. Menus are at the table and you order at the bar. Water tanks are available. A bit warm so ask for a cup of ice. Hauck's burgers, Chicken sandwiches / BLT, fries, onion rings, and mac and cheese were consumed. I'm glad we didn't order an appetizer. Highlights included the queso mac and cheese - it wasn't too queso-y. I also like the sweet potato fries with the siracha honey and onion rings. The cobb salad looks good here and I'm going to order it next visit. Plenty of drinks and beer. Street parking. Awesome patio area with unique seating and kids play area. Good for all ages but at late hours it does turn into a 21+ establishment. read more

What a hidden gem for families! We stopped by for a quick bite and playtime during our short visit to the Louisville area. Ample outdoor seating across the few eateries included in the space. We ordered Havana Heat sandwich, veggie tacos and Mexican street corn with 2 beers. It was a fun time and yummy food! Bartender Tim was helpful with beer suggestions and helping me navigate the space. Corn and veggie tacos were spicy. The playground was super fun for our toddler. They even had huge, powerful fans/misters that cooled us on the heat. We did park on the street and lucked out given the 3pm time. It was more full when we left about an hour later. Can't wait to stop again! read more

Haucks is an insane institution in louisville that is not to be missed. I find it's my favorite nice weather hang in town with SO MUCH back outdoor space. But truly a wonder year round. The food truck outback is stellar. don't skip a classic bologna sando. But I adore their fried chicken sandwich. All around otherwise some solid on draft cocktails, beers etc. I would suggest an ubderberg and a grapefruit raddler combo. Plus, the dainty! If you've never done the dainty in louisville as a guest or an athlete. It's a summertime staple. read more

We've been here twice for our book club, and it has been just ok both times. Drinks are pricey but tasty and smooth. I also appreciate the fact that they have free coffee. The place itself is spacious and easy to meet with others at. However, the food is not that great. The fried pickles are mainly just fried discs with no pickle. read more

Went here tonight with my wife and kids. Got to watch the game while sitting outside, and they even had a free water station which was clutch. The hot chicken sandwich was huge and spicy, and the pretzel was literally bigger than my daughter's head. Fun little spot with toys and games to keep everyone entertained--good vibes all around. We would be back for sure read more

Great vibe, good food, dog and kid friendly (with fun cocktails!) Happy we visited this place on our Derby trip!

Loved the vibe of this place. Every single person we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. This is a place to hang out with friends and get some bar food. We enjoyed sitting on the outside patio. Think this place has something for everyone, even a fun kids section outside. read more

This is such a fun spot. It's an old store that was on the corner in Germantown. They've turned it into a bar. It honestly feels like the jungle gyms of Louisville. You walk in and you've got the as expected bar then next-door you've got a game bar the next-door you have a sports bar. There's a connection to a pizza place a dessert place and a breakfast place. And the back patio may be the best spot to hang out. There's a random Marilyn Monroe hanging out. There's a Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench. There's toys for the kids and brides and rocking sliding chairs for the adults. On the table was Darth Vader or Boba Fett depending on what you prefer there's something for everyone drinks are great and I look forward to spending more fall nights at this spot. read more

Really great place to hang out! Not sure if the demographic was college students and older? I saw a mix of folks that looked to be millennials. You order drinks and food at the bar then pick up your food at the back room. They give you a buzzer. It's a large place! Tons of rooms to sit in with lots of tables, a few arcade games, swing sets, and TVs. My friend and I both got Coke and some burgers. I tried the signature which had American cheese, caramelizad onions, bacon, and an egg. My friend tried the American: pickles and mustard, hold the lettuce and tomato. It's 2 patties so it was very filling and large! Was it 6oz? Maybe 8oz of beef? Not sure. Seasoned well and juicy! Not all that messy actually, but I cut mine into fourths. It came with waffle fries. Each one was crispy to perfection and seasoned. So good! Staff was nice. Someone came around to ask if we wanted refills and clear our trash. They even asked if we wanted boxes. I didn't expect that for a bar. The vibe is kinda hipster even though subcultures technically don't exist anymore. Slightly grungy vibes. They were playing rock music in the background. Parking wasn't hard. I wasn't parked even a block away on Goss. Would love to come back just for drinks and apps! read more

Date night-yes Girls night- yes Brunch-yes Family- lunch spot yes Outdoor seating-yes Incredible ambiance- yes This spot is a hidden gem that encouraged me to visit two days back to back. Lunch date with my momma, hit the spot with the burger and slushee. And returned again for after church lunch with my guys and grandson. This is a great local spot with so many options. Something for everyone. Counter service with pick up at window. Such a good spot, how had this been open for two years I didn't know?! A new family favorite. read more

This used to be a great place to take the kids. You can let them run wild while you enjoy dinner. Unfortunately, the food has really gone down hill. You're better off going to Chuck E Cheese where you can get something better to eat. The burgers are awful. They taste like some generic Aramark airport microwaved patty but with a toasted bun. I've had the hot chicken sandwich and the regular one. There's no difference between the two. The chicken fingers aren't bad though. If you have to come here, get those. read more

Hauck's Corner - Lousy burger that is definitely NOT a smashburger. Literally every fast food burger is better than this and doesn't cost $13. - Bars Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Not just a cool neighborhood bar. This place has expanded. There is now a sports bar area and another bar area with music/trivia. The food was good. Had a nice salad and delicious onion rings. My husband enjoyed his Where's The Beef vegetarian burger. $4 Bud Light draft. $6 Hauck's Pilsner draft. Bourbon selection is good with okay prices (not the cheapest but not over the top). You can pay over $100 for an old Pappy here, but there are better bourbons at lower prices...up to you. Bartenders very friendly. And you can take your drink to all the different bars because the systems are connected (and bartenders split all tips at the end of the night). Large outdoor seating area. There's a magician who wanders around on Thursdays (he's amazing). If you haven't been (or if it's been awhile), you should check it out. I walked so have no idea about parking. They have clean (and gender neutral) bathrooms. read more

We visited on a Tuesday evening around 5 PM for Happy Hour. The items on the menu with special pricing are all denoted with "HH" and there are plenty offered. There is an abundance of seating spots for whatever mood suits your fancy. Higher noise level near the front bar seating area and then quieter spots midway back in the "safe room", literally small cocktail tables are old safes. :) Finally, if one ventures to the back of the property, the outdoors open seating area is quite expansive and also includes the food truck pickup window. We had a beer and lively conversation while we waited for our carry out order. Street parking was relatively easy to find nearby for a weekday early evening. Ordered a Cobb salad and a patty melt to go, which we enjoyed later and impressed with the quality and flavor. Looking forward to return visits. Fun place to hang out and catch up, very relaxed, and employees are all very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and happy hour is especially nice. read more

It's a nice bar with a great atmosphere that I got to try out during a Yelp Elite event. When I saw the "Since 1912" sign, I knew this place has been a favorite of many for a long time. Thanks to the Community Manager for organizing this event. Pros: Spacious, kid-friendly, great for date night. Cons: Hard to find parking. Lots of flies in hot weather. Beer should be served in pretty glass instead of cans. read more

Hauck's Corner - Hauck Cobb salad - Bars Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The best addition to Germantown/Schnitzelburg in ages! Even when it is busy, it isn't too busy! The indoor areas are welcoming and comfortable. The patio and outdoor area is maybe the actual best? Yep, that. Food offerings have changed on and off, but I always have a favorite on what is available, and there is always something tasty to try (the brisket egg rolls?! I MEAN!!). You order at the bar where you are also ordering your drinks, you get a buzzer, and when it goes off you pick it up yourself at the permanent food truck that is located between the indoor areas and outdoor patios. I am so pleased they found a way to keep and preserve the ole timey painted advertisements that were under the siding found during renovations. And I love the eclectic feel of the decor. And I love the friendly staff. They are open on holidays or leading up to holidays for folks with nothing to do. They will turn on your preferred sportsball game if they have the appropriate channel or streaming service. I come here a lot and I do not see that changing. read more

It's a fun place to hang with the family, but I just wish they had food service to the tables. If you have kids, one parent has to guard your table and watch kids while the other has to walk inside to the bar to order food and drinks and then balance and carry everything to the table. If you are coming as mom and dad only with small children, please keep that in mind or invite grandma and grandpa to help out while you serve yourself. Or leave the kids at home. read more

The food was amazing. There were some wings but they were eaten before I could capture a photo. You order your own food and seat yourself. There is inside and outside seating. Very chill. They have nice drinks. read more

Although I blacked out the last time, I was here, I do remember loving the food. It's such a great hang for any and all ages.

This was our first time to eat here. We heard good things about it and our Grandson wanted to come here to meet for lunch. I was surprised that you have to go up to the bar and order and then pick up your meal when ready. There were no servers doing anything yet when you paid they expected a tip. It was one of those suggested tip things on the check out screen. You have to look real hard to find how to no tip or leave a customized tip. I didn't feel like leaving a tip if I had to do all the work. I'm really getting aggravated with the businesses that are starting to use this check out system. As for the food, it was very good. I haven't had a balona sandwich in sometime. The added fried egg and pimento cheese was a nice touch. The crinkle cut fries were also especially good. I don't think we'll return. If I'm going out to eat I want to be waited on and don't mind tipping for service. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to get to Hauck's! My husband and I came for a late lunch/beer date on a beautiful Sunday. Part of what makes Hauck's so great is the seating-indoor, outdoor, table, picnic tables, swings...you name it, they got it! We tried a couple of sours recommended by the awesome bartender and they were so good. We also got the pretzel which was huge and delicious with that house made beer cheese. My husband had the wings and fries which were both fabulous, and I had the fish tacos. The fish was amazing but the tacos were a little too saucy for me (just personal preference!). You may wait a while for your food but it's worth it! Needless to say, we will be back! read more

I'm gonna start with... the blandest slop in town. Go down the street to 4 Pegs. No acknowledgement when walking in. No acknowledgement on delivery. No bar seats. No table service.

Been here a few times, now it's time to finally review this place. This actually used to be a hardware store until it closed some years ago and the owner passed away in 2020. Now this is a thriving restaurant and bar, very happy to know this just isn't a building sitting around and going to waste. Located on Goss Ave in the same building for many many years. I have been with my friend a couple of times already and we are in love with this place, it is amazing that a building that has many years on it has changed over time. Coming in here and seeing old furniture and old signs, old signs remind me of stepping into Jerry's Diner an old Louisville staple now long gone. We have always ate inside vs. outside. Here, you order at the bar and they give you a buzzer (Note, no table service here) once the buzzer goes off you go outside to a food truck like thing and they hand you your food. The food here is amazing, already had the Smash Burger and Chicken and Waffle sandwich. I'm tied between the 2 so I can't really pick one over the other. The fries are out of this world. Seasoned to perfection and crinkled. We have yet to try the cocktails here. Outside is also awesome and it's not like any other patio seating in Louisville. Just come see for yourself, I don't want to give away too much in this review. Love the staff here, the atmosphere and the outside seating. No complaints about this place and would come here more often if I lived closer and had the money lol. read more

Stopped in for a quick beer and realized this place was more than I bargained for. They have an extensive outdoor seating areas and game area in the rear of the bar. They share this space with like 3 other restaurants. Cornhole, jenga, ping pong and other games are available to play. Got a pound of smoked wings, well worth the extra dollar on the menu. lol. This is the ultimate hangout bar. read more
