About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
The Troll Pub opened on October 19th 2011, underneath the 2nd Street Bridge in a 135 year old space directly next to the YUM Center on historic Whiskey Row. The Troll Pub is a subterranean retreat that features a Gastro-pub style menu with a wide selection of great tasting food items, craft beer, local artwork, and an overall atmosphere unique to Louisville. We are just blocks from the Louisville Convention Center and only steps away from many of the hottest attractions and hotels situated downtown. Just look for the Troll on the corner of 2nd and Washington, he will show you the way.

    Awesome service. The staff is friendly, funny, and helpful. We had a party of 11, and they were extremely kind and made us feel like we were the only ones in the place, despite it being busy. The drinks and food are exactly what you need when you go to a pub.

    Bar food and slow service. The table behind us was very loud, and while we don’t mind that, the crude comments and descriptions being made were uncalled for. Drinks were not great. Need to work on bar drinks for non bourbon drinkers. Yes, I know then don’t go.. But, should have had at least 1 option.

    Waited a long time for food. That’s to be expected though when busy, so not bothered by that. All the adults received food about 10 mins before kids which is disappointing. If anything let’s get the kids feed first. Kids food was cold and chicken had a very bad taste. Had some upset stomachs following dinner so worried we may have gotten bad chicken. Enjoyed the private room, but think we were forgotten several times. In the past we had a good experience which is why we came back. Food was definitely disappointing this visit.

    We made the reservation for 4:30, they gave us the table right behind the host stand. There were tons of open spots. We asked to be moved so we old have more of the “experience” and the hostess was clearly annoyed and said they had a lot of reservations. The entire time we were there there were open tables. The only food that we thought was good was the appetizer (fries) that we got. Everything else was flavorless.
