Original menu dishes include the classic Bristol Burger and aged, charbroiled New York Strip steak as well as new favorites like Pork Dijonnaise and Theresa’s Sweet Chili Linguine. We source ingredients from local farmers. Certified Bourbon Stewards are on staff to guide diners on selection of Kentucky’s native spirit.

    We went on a Saturday after UofL ballgame & I got the veggie lasagna which is huge & delicious! I took over half home. My husband got the haddock special & loved it. Great service as always & most of the time we can get a reservation easily. Close to home so it’s a favorite.

    Their Chili Wontons are always a great start! The Shrimp and Grits were outstanding accompanied with their basic house salad with their special ranch dressing. A perfect dinner.

    Disappointed in the fish tacos. Fish was a little mushy and flavor lacking. Waitress did a nice job and the derby pie was the highlight of the meal. I might stick to the Bristol burger, never disappointing.
    Bristol Bar & Grille - EastResponded 4 days ago
    Deb, I am sorry to hear that the fish tacos didn't live up to expectations. I have shared your feedback with our Chef, and we have taken the steps to make sure this won't be an issue for future guests. Really glad to hear the service and Derby Pie were good. I hope you will give the tacos another shot and give us the opportunity to regain your loyalty as a customer. If you want to discuss the details of this visit or to make a reservation, please give me a call. I hope to hear from you soon. Best Wishes, Johnathan Zevotek 502.426.0627
