Lobby Bar & Grill at the Brown Hotel

Great meal! Love the atmosphere at the Lobby Bar. Piano music is always a nice touch!

Came to Louisville for a concert and stopped here for dinner. The hotel is absolutely beautiful-so much history in this building.
The wait staff is extremely knowledgeable and loved to share their stories. They were attentive and friendly.
The food: WOW!!! If you come here and don’t get the world famous “hot brown”-you missed out. They invented it here—and it was DELICIOUS!! Ordered a side of bourbon fries and derby pie for dessert. Old fashions to accompany the meal. It was perfection and I already want to come back.
Highly recommend!!!!

Waitress was great, but restaurant was extremely understaffed. As a result, service suffered.

I was throughly happy with my experience. The food was excellent and our waiter was the best. He treated us as if we were the only ones in the place. My only complaint was with the manager. He greeted everyone's table excepted ours. I take it it was because our skin was kissed by the sun. Oh well, as much as we have come a long way, we still have a long way to go. So sad the color of the skin still play a part in this society.

Lovely. Very nice waitress

food was excellent and staff was very friendly and helpful

Get the Hot Brown.

We had a wonderful date night at the Brown Hotel. Wonderful service and a delicious meal.

The food was delicious and the staff very attentive. Loved the live piano music and the cocktails were one of a kind. The only down side was that we had to eat in the lobby due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Enjoy a Kentucky Hot Brown. They are the famous original.

Having a Hot Brown at the Brown for Sunday breakfast is always a memorable experience !

We had such a wonderful time and was made to feel so special on my birthday. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the visit. The meal was delicious and service was great.

Very cool historic hotel and dining room with old school service to match.

We were celebrating our 30th anniversary! It was a delicious meal and wonderful service. A piece of chocolate cake was given to us for celebrating with them!

Enjoyed our visit. The cocktails were tasty and well crafted. The hot brown was great. The sea scallops were a little too salty. Great service.

The bartender was special. he had an old school way of running the place by using an old hand cranked ice crusher to keep from ruining the ambiance of the room and the piano in the back ground. The options of using the bag and the hammer or the blender or electric crusher is out of the question for him. No blended drinks will be made for the same reason.

Great food & service! Scallops & the hot brown were solid! Historic setting. Great evening!

We visited to have an authentic Hot Brown and Derby Pie. They did not disappoint! The staff was very friendly and took the time to chat with us. Beautiful place!

The Hot Brown and Derby Pie were very delicious! The service was excellent.

Best service that we’ve ever had at any restaurant, treated us like I was George Clooney. Had the original Hot Brown & Derby Pie.....Awesome!!!!

Great service and food. The place is spectacular.

i made a reservation for the lobby bar but was seated in the old, dark, restaurant with no atmosphere. service was fine. hot brown was a hot mess. sent both orders back with comments for the chef.

Awesome place!! Food and service were excellent!!! A must see and do for visitors

A drink at The Lobby Bar is a must! Beautiful atmosphere and fun experience

Excellent service and food. Had a great table. Had our first hot brown and it was delicious.

Patrick was our server and he was great, made our experience!

The hot brown is a must as well as the bourbon barrel fries! The Kentucky derby is a great cocktail. Excellent service and beautiful atmosphere!

The hot brown was very good. The French fries were the best we had ever had. My wife’s steak was so/so, a little fatty, should have got the filet. Atmosphere was great. The waiter, Patrick, was excellent, very prompt and attentive. Very personable and pleasant . We would recommend the restaurant and will go back if we are ever in Louisville again.

The hot brown is delicious. The waiter very helpful. The Brown is charming.

Waited 40 minutes because I was so excited to try a hot brown, drove here from Chicago. My table of 4 received no service, not even a hello or drink for 40 minutes…. That said, I was very disappointed and it ruined our evening. If we were unable to be served it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Thank you.

The English Grill is beautiful. The service provided by our server was superb, and the food was excellent.

All was very nice except the air conditioning was on pretty high and we were cold. Our server was excellent and the food very tasty.

Excellent Hot Brown and Shrimp & Grits. You can't beat the ambience and attention to detail by the staff.

Such wonderful ambience and the service was very attentive.

A must in Louisville for their famous hot brown sandwich, you will not be disappointed! The service was outstanding and drinks, food & dessert all delicious!

Best wait staff!

Ticking a longtime local tradition off your to-do list as a visitor is almost always a bit on the disappointing side, more a matter of obligation than anything else. In this case, it was an absolute delight. The ambience, the food, and particularly the excellent service, combined to make our dinner a joy from beginning to end. Come for the tradition, but stay for the experience of a great meal.

Our party of 10 had an outstanding meal and service. The bar and dining areas are so beautiful and make you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

My friends and I had a delicious lunch at the Brown Hotel. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We ordered the Hot Brown and the BLT sandwiches which were very tasty. Can't wait to go back.
