About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Great for fine wines
Repeal is Whiskey Row’s only oak-fired steakhouse, located at the birthplace of J.T.S. Brown & Sons Bourbon Company in Louisville. A stylish departure from a traditional steakhouse, Repeal uses a wood-fired grill stoked daily with reclaimed American Oak bourbon barrels. Repeal is a tribute to the Repeal of Prohibition – a place to see, be seen and celebrate the rich tradition of the building in which it resides.

Now serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

    If you're on a date, be sure to reserve a table on the Terrace. The lobby level is much too noisy to properly enjoy each other's company. The Terrace roof is retracted on clear nights and is a joy to hear the sounds of the city and see the occasional landing airplane close overheard. I cannot overstate the difference in experience between these two dining areas: the lobby level is energetic and close, while the Terrace is quieter, spacious yet intimate. As for the food, it's excellent, but I'm no foodie so take that for what you will. The service is the more what I focus on and it was top-notch. Our server was polite with just enough familiarity to make us feel comfortable. She provided recommendations and was attentive to our questions. The thing that actually impressed us was the geniality of the other staff with which we interacted. It's obvious the manager takes pride in ensuring their staff are well trained and (to my eyes) treated well themselves. More than ambience, food, or value, by far the most important aspect of a dining experience comes down to service, and I cannot fault anything on that front. Superb. Value-wise, this will likely be a personal opinion; however, I found prices to be slightly inflated. Not surprising but just something to be aware of. In sum, I would absolutely recommend Repeal. Remember: the Terrace is best for a date, lobby level is fine for anything else.

    Was seated on the second floor enclosed balcony. Fans were strong and created little colder environment then preferred. Street noise was beyond distracting with multiple motorcycles and emergency vehicle noises directly next to building. Service was great. Drinks were fantastic. Apps (crab cake and shrimp) were good but little pricey. Salads were ok. Wedge had overwhelming amount of iceberg. Lastly, 8oz filet was ordered medium, came out more medium rare and not very warm. Underwhelming and “soft” texture. Overall just ok, but underwhelming for a $400 meal for two people. No sides were ordered

    The best meal we had in Louisville! And the best service, too! Steaks are great, but the seafood was wonderful, too. The bread is heaven on a plate. Thank you Ebraham and Marquis!

    Great brunch! The salmon bowl is balanced, and the chicken fried chicken is moist and medium spicy seasoned.

    The service from Keith and Vinnie was as top shelf as the food was. From the delicious French Onion soup and outrageous wedge salad we had to start, to the filet and ribeye we had for the main course, wrapping up with the apple tart and Madeira...it was all enjoyable. Even the chair quality was worth noting. Definitely a stop to put on your fine dining to-do list.
