    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.

    This is a very interesting place. You order your food at the bars, then pick it up at the kitchen area. This place is expensive! It has so much seating. We ordered food and drinks and then sat for a while playing dominoes. No one ever tried to get us to leave , they were chill. They did ask if we were done with our fires we were slowly working through about 100 times which became comical to us. The food was very good. I got a salad and it was a very good size. They have lots of beer choices. It also offers great people watching! It's definitely a great place to try.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Signature burger

    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!

When first entering I notice that it's filled with decor and just something to look at, at every corner. The service at the bar is quick & all the way to the back outdoors is where they had their event with the boil and chill people that would chat with anyone. I was apprehensive about going alone, but it was such great exposure therapy especially since everyone was so kind & talkative! When I went up to get my serving I didn't know seasoning it was even an option, but I got it each time!! They scooped a generous amount for me & tossed it in a Vietnamese chili sauce, it was phenomenal. I've never eaten it that way before, but glad to experience it!

We mostly love coming here because it is 21 and up and we can be adults here. Other reasons: they have different flavored Margaritas of the week and every Tuesday was $5 Margs and they had a taco food truck here as well. Not sure if they still do that. We also love coming here for the pinball games (they switch out periodically) and the patio in the back we absolutely love. This place certainly faced its challenges during and after the pandemic. They have bounced back tremendously and with that came some changes. My biggest kicker, they haven't had updated Merch for sale for a very long time. Kinda noticed the change about maybe 2 years ago. For the past 2 years there have been no Derby stickers (something they started in 2020). They have done derby shirts for the past 2 years but, no stickers. I also collected their own stickers as well, there haven't been any new ones for a while. This is really my only kicker here. Idk what's changed or if it's not in their budget but, merch does bring in money. I also miss Potato the bar cat. I asked someone a long time ago what happened to Potato and a bartender told me the owners moved. I hope they can bring in new merch at some point and new stickers lol. They also used to post on Facebook what food trucks would be coming each night so, someone has dropped the ball on that. The staff here is very wonderful and my friend and I adore them. We are treated like we belong here and don't feel out of place. Even the patrons make us feel welcome. This is one of the few bars we go to where most everyone is laid back and is not too rowdy for us. Maybe late at night but, for the most part, we love it here. This is definitely a neighborhood bar worth visiting. Laid back, not rowdy and everyone is made to feel welcome. We love it for the most part but, hoping they can improve some things I have mentioned in this review.
