Jada Thompson
2 months agoFun hidden gem. Loved the room behind the bookcase. The service was extremely friendly. Just a great place to try good pub food with friends. Recommend!
Gideon Stargrave
a month agoTroll Pub is the coolest spot in Louisville! Conveniently located right across from the Yum Center and a couple of blocks from the KICC, it's the perfect place to grab a drink and a bite after a game or while you're in town for a convention. Great selection of beers on tap, including a bunch of local brews and featuring their own Troll Bier brew (a nice saison). They also have awesome cocktails, I recommend the 'Troll Fashioned'. Food is delicious, with lots of bar food favorites... tons of appetizers plus burgers, wings, salads, you name it. Their Beer Cheese is the bomb, so I definitely recommend trying it - my favorite is the Pot Roast Poutine Troll Fries, freaking amazing. Special shout out to the incredible, friendly and helpful staff, especially Madi, Braedon and Scott, who made me feel like a regular while I was visiting for the week. Love the ambiance, the location, the prices and the people - if you're in Louisville you've got to roll to the Troll!

4 months agoThis pub has the same character as Louisville itself. The generations of architecture is displayed, and the character of the troll is present everywhere. Definitely can have a great time with multiple friends and not feel cramped.

8 months agoStopped in after a bourbon tour for some food. We got some insider tip information that this pub has a better hot brown than any place else in the city. Based on that fact alone we had to try it. We were not disappointed. The food was delivered quickly and the bartender was extremely nice. And the place had a really fun vibe. We will definitely stop here again.

3 months agoThis place is AWESOME!! Coldest beer in town. Such a unique layout, it’s my go-to place when in Louisville. ….and all the locals too….that tells you something.

4 months agoI had the Roast Beef Manhattan. It's a Hot RB on steroids. The picture online does not do it justice. The gravy pills it all together. Pull apart roast beef, lumpy mashed potatoes, mushrooms and sweet onions make this a great meal. It is served with 2 full pieces of bread, which if ibwas to order again i would 86. Everything on the menu looks great!!

3 months agoA Louisville staple, this is a must-visit! While programming birthday shenanigans along the Urban Bourbon trail, I had an hour between distillery tours and a group of men whose hunger I had greatly underestimated. Already well-along the trail that afternoon, I sought a last-minute spot to get a large group of guys fed in a short amount of time. While I think it rude to suddenly appear at a bar with a large group, some already well-libated, and expect quick service, I was beyond thrilled by how well we were taken care of by the lovely staff. Making every effort to organize my goons and keep them well-behaved, we were fed and watered in time to make our next distillery stop. The food was top-notch pub fare and the drinks were expertly made. Now I will always recommend having enough forethought to make reservations ahead of time when planning a trip to avoid such situations, but I cannot thank everyone at Troll Pub Under the Bridge for helping me out of a jam and saving me on my birthday. I made sure that, given the extraordinary service, I left what I considered an extraordinary tip - please remember to tip these hard-working people! I want to especially thank Carla (or Karla - I never got the spelling) in particular for her compassion in how she treated my drunken gang and me. You truly made my birthday wonderful and I cannot thank you enough! I look forward to the next time I’m in Louisville so that I can stop by the Troll Pub and buy you a drink :)

3 months agoCame here specifically for the famous hot brown and it did not disappoint, it was awesome. I was hungry as I dropped by here between lunch and dinner time and almost had the whole place to myself. Sat at the bar watching sports on the tele. This place is larger than it looks. Would come again and order the hot brown.

6 months agoI got the beer cheese burger, fries and the frost troll drink, my husband got the classic burger, chips, and the troll fashioned (so punny!) the food was solid, burgers were cooked perfectly, that beer cheese was delicious and the chips are crispy! The atmosphere was family friendly and the staff were super sweet. Overall we had a great time and happily recommend Troll Pub Under the Bridge to anyone looking for classic Ky food with a fun atmosphere.

A pub classic -10 ounces of beer battered and golden flaky fried White Fish tail served with Troll fries, cole slaw, and jalapeño tartar sauce
The chef was upset (what else is new?) when he made this recipe and decided it had to be hot. Penne with spicy Alfredo sauce, grilled chicken, bacon, parmesan, spinach, and tomato. At least he gives you a couple pieces of garlic bread to soothe the heat.
Modeled after the exact recipe of the original, this open-faced hot turkey sandwich is covered in bacon, tomato, and creamy Mornay cheese sauce. A local favorite
