Reviews for Lobby Bar & Grill at The Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY

Had a chance to visit Louisville and enjoyed all the history it had to offer. Including visiting the historic hotel that created... the Hot Brown. Totally glad we went to the Brown Hotel - what a history it has on its own. The hotel is beautiful and the HotBrown is not to be missed. Food was excellent and the perfect ambience in the beautiful lobby. We were even lucky enough to heara few songs from the live entertainment. The staff was really nice - while the interactions were short it was memorable - Yessyour server was awesome and security was nice and provided us a few laughs. Keep up the great job! Read more

Even though they have a very limited menu on Sundays, they were super accommodating, offered me a yellow tomato bisque (which... was not on the menu) and we took the famous hot Brown! It is so worth it! Delicious! 1/we really appreciated the accommodationsince we were out of town 2/service was impeccable 3/they went out of their way to make it a great evening for us! What more canyou ask for! It is a beautifully decorated place, on the second floor of the hotel. Rich, classy and memorable! You deserve atreat at the Lobby bar! 5 stars! Read more

I visited on 8/10/22. Really neat historic hotel, restaurant, and lobby bar. I ate in the lobby bar. Seat yourself, does have... table service. I got the petite Hot Brown, it was so good and a perfect size, the big one would have been too much. I also tooka piece of Derby pie home with me. It was excellent. I would highly recommend stopping in for at least a drink and some food. Read more

If you are visiting Louisville, the Lobby Bar at the Brown Hotel is a must. I had an Old Fashioned cocktail off the menu.... Refreshing and balanced. Bartenders and waiters have an appreciation for the history and culture of bourbon and mixology ingeneral. Laid back, informative and helpful, especially Kris. They know what they're doing. Great old school elegance andambiance -- lots of polished wood, subdued colors, horse paintings galore. You should try the Hot Brown sandwich. A charmingand unique cocktail experience. Read more

Please don't miss this place. We can't say enough about this beautiful, historic hotel and restaurant. Very elegant and a... wonderful place to have a romantic dinner. We had an awesome server who was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had the famous HotBrown and my wife had the Seared Scallops. Our cocktails were crazy good. We finished the meal off with the best Derby Pie intown! Read more

Absolutely incredible. Service, food, ambience were all stellar. Just two of us. We split a salad and a Hot Brown, and thought... that was perfect amount of food. They split the salad to separate plates for us, and we each got a big portion. Hot Brown cameout piping hot, and was rich and delicious. We wandered in without a reservation and the host was able to squeeze us in. We gotthe last available table, which was right by the bar. The host kept an eye and made sure we had enough space and weren't gettingcrowded out. We felt very well taken care of! Read more

The Lobby Bar is a great experience. James is a master barkeeper and a great conversationalist. The selection of Bourbon, Rye,... and other spirits is so abundant it's overwhelming. That's where James's knowledge is invaluable. I was able to taste somehard-to-finds as a result. Anybody who enjoys well-made and tasty food, a great selection of spirits, and the wonderfullyfriendly service should visit the Lobby Bar at the historic Brown Hotel. Read more

We've been to the Brown Hotel before and were pleased. This time was no different. We had a couple of Bourbon flights and some... fries before heading out to another dinner. Fries were some of the best I've ever had. Bourbons were good too. Service was alittle slow and there wasn't really a crowd, so that was disappointing. There was also some confusion on their part of thecoupon we had, which came from the hotel, and that was slightly frustrating. The piano player was great and entertaining. Read more
