Restaurant Review

Garage Bar: Louisville, KY

This is a farm to garage eatery that has deliciously made pizzas. I went with my aunt to celebrate a wonderful wedding for her son that had gone off without a hitch. If it had been any warmer we would have sat outside as they have some pretty awesome seating.

They have a pretty good bourbon list, and it was hard for me to choose. So I closed my eyes and pointed. "Breaking and Entering" was the bourbon my finger landed on, so I got it on the rocks for $10.


The nice thing is their menu is seasonal, so you'll get something completely different each time. I got the butternut squash pizza which had walnuts, cherry tomatoes, arugula, fior di latte (mozzarella   made from cows milk, not water buffalo) & ricotta. It was so good! Silky texture from the pureed squash, mozzarella and ricotta, and then you had the crunch from the walnuts and the burst of flavor from the cherry tomatoes. SO good!

(not what I had, but still looks amazing)

My aunt got the country ham pizza and loved it! I just had a slice of the ham off of the pizza since I don't like blue cheese, and it wasn't salty at all. I think that it was sliced thin enough so you didn't get overwhelmed which is nice. I took a slice home for my husband and it was gone in two seconds. He said the dried cherries added a nice sweet aspect to it.

I'd love to go back on a Friday or Saturday when they have burgers, but they're first come first serve until they run out, so you better get there early. They even make their own buns which is awesome!

The atmosphere is unique, kind of loud inside, but very chill outside. There were two pretty large parties in the middle of the small space, or it could just be how seating arrangements go there, kind of a family style. When the waitress (who was fantastic, attentive, but not overly so) brought us our check, there was some old school candy with it. Bazooka bubble gum, an Atkinson peanut butter bar and two types of tootsie rolls.

I'm for sure going back, and I highly recommend you check it out!
