The bartenders have that amazing charm of a casual place. They can chat, they can be sassy when needed, but they are efficient always. I am obsessed with their fish and chips, but recently I got a steak and salad. The steak itself was fine, a little bit better than the average pub steak, but the sauce on top? So flavorful, garlicky, and easily soaked into the meat. This place and their sauces, I'm telling you! They are awesome at it. The salad was so fresh and smothered in yummy toppings. The blue cheese was nice and tart. Combined with my steak? Ugh, I was so happy. And of course, as always, I loved my bartender. Plus, the weather is nice and they have plenty of outdoor seating.

We sat at the bar and enjoyed these with a cold beer, and a nice time was had by all. Service is great and bartender was friendly and had charming banter. Noise level inside was mild at about 1/2 capacity. Patio seating is also available in front of the building and buffered by a sidewalk between the street. Drink and food quality are top notch and a great value. Very happy to plan a return visit here.

Free earplugs, strong drinks, and plenty of head banging. Genuinely the mosh pit here is always popping, and of course everyone remembers their mosh etiquette as people will help you up if you fall, and ask if you're okay if you seem hurt. I'm the friend that holds everyone's glasses and watches from the side though so if moshing isn't your thing, still come for the music and punk vibes. (I personally love watching people express themselves through moshing, I think it's such a beautiful raw expression of emotions!) The bar area has a few booths but is pretty small, but the back room where the shows are held is pretty spacious but fills up quickly. There's also a back patio! Ultimately, Mag bar is a great spot for a show, a drink, and some good ass music.

All the windows are wonderful but also make it so so cold in there you need to dress warm or you won't last long. There is a fire place in the center but it doesn't emit any heat unless you touch it. This is a great place to work at, catch up with a friend, or digest a drink. I think the drink service starts at 3 but the room is available way before that. It's off the left of the lobby and will have people working in it during the day.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door. The food was fantastic, with great flavor and generous portions, and everything came out quickly. Whether you're stopping in for a casual night out, meeting friends, or just looking for a neighborhood bar with good vibes, Toasty's absolutely delivers. Louisville has a lot of great places, but Toasty's Tavern stands out for its charm, hospitality, and overall atmosphere. We can't wait to come back! They have a great area for outside seating and allow dogs out there! We also bought some of their magic dust seasoning. They have quite a bit of merch to purchase as well!

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Whether you're stopping in for drinks with friends or looking for a cool date night spot, The Canary Club is absolutely worth checking out. It is one of our new favorite places in Louisville and Shelby Park area! They have a neat little liquor store connected to the bar with wines from all over the world and lots of bourbon! Also , they have a nice patio out back with a basketball court as well! You can get the basketball from the bar!

Canary Club is technically a wine bar, but if you're not coming here for the cocktails, you're…read moredoing it wrong. This place has become one of my favorite cocktail spots in Germantown. There's a bartender named Yan who used to run this challenge where he'd make you a cocktail and only charge you if you liked it, he was really good at what he does. He's the one who introduced me to the Paper Plane, which is now one of my all-time favorite cocktails. I'm not sure if he's still there, but the other bartenders seem pretty good too. Just tell them what you're in the mood for and let them guide you. Here's what I got recently: The Dark Bar Princess: a must if you like something sweet and fruity. I'd say it's lime-forward with a strong pomegranate presence, and the gin completely disappears into it. Super refreshing and really easy to slam. Highly recommend this one. The Day Disco: a mezcal cocktail with a chili rim that brings real smokiness and heat. It's got a little sweetness to balance it out, but the mezcal is definitely there. I've never loved mezcal so this is just "pretty good". Monkey Drive shot: It smells and tastes artificial, like heavy fake banana, almost chemical. Not their strong suit. On the food side, I can definitely recommendthe Machada empanada for $6. Beefy, cheesy, and one of the best bar snacks they have supposedly. The bartender told me it's their biggest crowd-pleaser and I agree. Overall, would recommend this spot

I personally just love the indoor space - moody, dark, always filled with interesting people. I never have problem striking up a conversation and nine times out of ten, it's a really good one. I honestly find that rare nowadays. The ghost kitchen might be my favorite part. I recently finally got Gladwell's wings at their Sunday pop-up. DELICIOUS. Well cooked, generesouly sauced. Tender chicken, but with hints of crispy edges. The buffalo garlic sauce was perfection, unique in that it had a little more depth in the flavor than a typicaly buffalo, but not so far off that you're missing out on good ol' fashioned bar eats.

The bar/concession is open during events specifically the parks long running show "Shakespeare in the park" to which the tavern is named after. Last night I attended Shakespeare in the park and decided to get an adult drink during intermission. They have a pretty limited drink menu but they have some now options. I decided to go with a Woofford and coke. Drink cost $8 (but came with the coca a cola can which sells for $2 itself). The workers here were very friendly and a friendly pour as well. Nice stiff and tasty drink. I've had Woofford and coke several times in my life and it's a good mixture. Great flavor and a nice bourbon. Overall cool idea to have a themed "tavern" at This park for the events and shows. Nice location and tasty adult beverages.
