About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Nestled in Louisville's historic Whiskey Row, Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar masterfully blends traditional Southern fare with fresh seafood in a restored 1870s building. Now serving breakfast daily, start your morning with locally roasted coffee and Southern classics like Kentucky Derby Hot Browns. Our scratch kitchen serves Memphis-style BBQ, house-smoked meats, and fresh oysters, alongside Kentucky's largest bourbon collection—over 2,500 bourbon, rye, and whiskey expressions, including exclusive barrel-aged selections from local distillers. From baby back ribs to daily-sourced seafood, we offer a distinctive fusion of land and sea. The warm, exposed-brick atmosphere, with bourbon barrel accents, pays homage to Louisville's whiskey heritage. Steps from the KFC Yum! Center, Doc Crow's provides authentic Southern hospitality in Bourbon Country. Whether you're an early bird, bourbon enthusiast, or visiting food lover, our award-winning menu makes every meal memorable.

    Doc Crow's has become a go to when in Louisville. This trip didn't disappoint. After a few dozen fresh raw oysters and fried Green tomatoes for appetizers. A few of us got the fish & chips they were delicious. One had the Shrimp and Grits. See you next time

    We had a late booking (9pm) as it was the only time available and we ate a full dinner. The food was delicious and the service very good. Our server, Danielle was extremely helpful and friendly and efficient. We highly recommend Doc Crow’s for a tasty dinner and a great selection of whiskeys, bourbons and ryes.

    Derby pie was perfect desert. Loaded back potatoe with brisket was delicious brisket had nice smoke taste. Very filling for a meal. Vegan burger was good flavor but lacked a crispness so it ate soft. Doc chips should be bagged and sold in stores.
