    This place smelled like ass, but I did like all the pool tables in the karaoke. The staff is real friendly, but it smell like ass.

    Stumbled across this place and had a great time. Common folk and great bartenders. Can't wait to return.

    Nice bar, service was slow, but with a smile. Wings were good, but not warm enough. Nacho mountain was amazing. Will be back.

    Again after a bit of a while, we are back to one of our favorites "Harry's Taphouse" on the River…read more Again I can't say enough for this place. The service is top notch. Brezzie ( sp ) was our waitress; she was totally spot on with everything. The setting was again awesome with a nice day over looking the river, the Louisville skyline and the bridges. Walking bridge was busy. Drinks were ordered and food orders placed. I had aside salad that was fresh, crisp,nicely crafted and tasty. Along with that I had the dry rubbed wings. So good and nice portion. My wife had the Reuben which was new for her (use). It was very, very good and well put together. I'm not a big Reuben person but I tasted it and it was very good! And when Breezie was busy another waitress perfectly slipped in to keep us well served. Their training is spot on. In my opinion this location probably has some of the best trained staff in the Clark County area. Not that others a bad this place just feels like a step up. Good food, service and view keeps us coming back!!!!

Some nights have live music but we like to go to watch games since there are TVs all over. Lexee, our server, was fantastic. We will ask for her when we go to Harry's from now on. The menu rotates, but it's always a huge portion and so good. The dry rub Cajun wings are a must. The wraps are big and filling. I'm hoping they bring back the chicken salad sandwich h

    We came with a group of six for lunch at Patlay after seeing great reviews on Yelp. The sports bar…read morein downtown Shelbyville is upscale, fairly large and immaculate inside. TV monitors were playing various sporting event. Photos of race horses are arranged on the walls. Service was very friendly and attentive. Beverages and food came out quickly. We shared a basket of the fried pickles. We have been trying fried pickles where ever we eat and we all agreed that these were the best fried pickles. The pickles were crispy and the breading was light. I had two pulled pork tacos. The pork filling was generous and delicious. I loved the pickled onions and sprinkle of cheese on top. These were good tacos. My husband had the Fish Dinner composed of two battered cod pieces and a mountain of fries. He loved his fish and I ate half of his fries. We found free parking on a side street. Parking is at a premium. Restrooms are clean

My only downside here is there is no game day specials to really draw people in. Also note that it is al a carte so all entree items are the sandwich/wrap by themselves around ($12-$15) then the sides are all $4 per item. It does add up quickly and I do wish they had more options of combo meals. A burger and fries for almost $20 is a heavy hit for lunch. The food however is really delicious, getting refills was a bit slow but our server was really sweet!

    Another Ole Restaurant Group/Martinez/Lorenzo style place...and, honestly, their menus are all…read morestarting to blend together. Bourbon and Burger's menu is at least 50% identical to Mussel and Burger Bar and has some overlap with Havana as well (both currently or previously owned by Ole Restaurant Group/Martinez/Lorenzo). If you like Mussel and Burger, you'll like this. And pay about $10 more per meal. The burgers are mainly in the $15-$18 range. For JUST a burger. Add an extra $5-$7 for fries and you're looking at a BURGER meal topping out around $25. That's more than you'll pay for a burger at any fine steakhouse. Shakes are $9-$15! $1 extra for ranch! We just spent $120 for 3 people. For BURGERS. I'm not sure who decided on this price point but it doesn't fit. The vibe of the place is very casual. The food itself tasted fine. I don't recommend the zucchini fries. Burgers are too tall - with 2 patties on them. We had to eat them in sections with forks and knives (no thanks). Service was very slow. I don't think our server actually ever checked on us the entire time we had our food. Towards the end of the meal, I noticed the server had taken my soda away. And never brought a new one. I have no idea why. The grass bull outside makes for a fun pic. The restaurant has a great ambiance and offers outdoor seating as well. We won't be back.

This is going to be great". Unfortunately, that's where the great stopped. The menu is good. They offer a bunch of different burger options, Several chicken options and bar food apps. However, our service was very poor and slow. My party of 5 started with a chili con queso. It was basic but good. The serving was small for the price. We ordered a variety of meals. 2 chicken strips and fries, one grilled chicken strips and fries. A second order of grilled chicken with loaded sweet potatoes fries. And Lastly, a ground beef loaded nacho. The chicken was extremely dry and the nachos were so greasy. I know, we went to a burger place and nobody ordered a burger... maybe a bad move on our part. Also, every small sauce was $1 and you receive about an ounce. I was a bit surprised when I got the bill and none of the chicken came with any sauce. In all, It's cute enough and in a great location. I will go back to try a burger.... But based on our experience yesterday, I'd pass on the chicken.
