The yelped food photos looked great and we were looking to eat before hitting the brewery next door. Walking in, it looks like a dive which is a good sign for us. We sat at the bar and our server was attentive even though he was also taking care of the other tables. The craft beer selection was plentiful and diverse. We ordered the jalapeño popper and crab Rangoon apps. The poppers…. Mehhh. The crab Rangoon though, AmaZiNg!! So light and crispy. Not oily. And the filling is creamy and full of crab. Excellent!! For an entree we got the Kentucky cheesesteak with fries and Chicken wings, hot, extra crispy. The restrooms…… do a hard pass on those of you can.

What a surprise! We were looking for a place that would satisfy everyone and found this place three blocks from my house. They have wings, burgers, sandwiches, sushi, rice bowls, etc. and a great happy hour. Just 👀 at their menu online…you won’t be disappointed. The food was so good. We can’t wait to go back. PS. Their onion rings were really good with real onions in the middle. My favorite.

Surprising place! You might miss it among its neighbors but look for it. I found it as a place to work while my kid has music lessons. Very good beer selection (plenty of IPAs but there’s other stuff too). Excellent food. Some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Not kidding! My kids fell in love and make me bring them home. Slightly awkward knowing what prices are when but it’s not an issue really. Service excellent. I’m a fan.

Nayshen Osborne

The service was awesome and fast. The food was so great and I love having so many different options to choose from on the menu.

Brittanie Soto

I was pretty skeptical when I heard they had sushi but I just had to try it. I went with low expectations but was blown away because their sushi was delicious! Sushi not your thing? Get some egg rolls or fried rice. Not feeling that either? Then go with some typical bar food that's equally as delicious. Wings either bone-in or boneless are the best in the Highlands. Get the Korean bbq ones! If you're not feeling food then they have a decent selection of beers (and at least 1 cider) on tap!

Brittany Beckham

Deliciousness!! Wings, soft shell crab and a Kentucky cheese steak (wings not pictured - eaten too quickly because they are sooooo good. Soft shell not pictured because it wouldn't load 🤷🏽‍♀️ ). Great little local spot. Sure to have something to please every palate. Beers and ciders are refreshing! (Blueberry lemonade cider pictured)

Monte Delafonte

Outstanding options, great prices and decent beer selection too. I've heard rumors about this place being a solid local contactless pickup location now that the Corona's is in full swing and BOY...I was surprised! River City Drafthouse is AWESOME! If you're feeling like a good ole fashioned burger and fries, a philly Cheesesteak or a shrimp Po'boy - look no further. Not exactly MINDBLOWING but decent, fast and tasty. The REAL bonus is when you spy the AMAZING Sushi and Sashimi options in the menu! WOW - these are all GREAT! FResh, nice fish cuts and even some tasty fried noodles! If you haven't already...give it a go and experiment with a mix of USA and Asian dishes! Oh...and the beer is good too!

The Gorilla Warfare” wings were absolute flamethrowers!!!

Celia Bourgetel

Love this place!! If you’re looking for a bar like drakes but cheaper and family owned, COME HERE! It is family owned by a family from Myanmar. Let’s show our support to this wonderful family and restaurant! Thank you for the great service and food :) P.s: the pretzel is HUGE !!

Katie Hutchinson

If you love wings, you HAVE to get the Carolina Gold rush wings. They are so good. Also great crab Rangoon. Also incredible beer selection. And service was top notch!

Isaac Masterson

Attentive staff. Eclectic elevated pub grub menu. Wings are definitely the star of the show but the Asian dishes are a welcome addition. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an appetizing oasis in the highlands.

Lisa Johns

Haven't been here since new owners. Wings are still very good. Crab Rangoon is also tasty. Loaded tater tots tasty. Nice selection of draft beers. even a sour which are my favorite.

Wendy Erk

The pretzel is huge! We ordered wings also but they were only so-so. Good selection of beers

Mitchell Hadley

Such a hidden gem. They have great wings, sushi and beer. Their menu is very large and everything has been great so far. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Shane Smith

This place is great! Has a decent selection of rotating drafts. Happy hour great prices, sushi is great! Definitely worth a stop!

Robert Skrodenis

My wife and I found this place after a movie. Their wings are delicious and they have a great selection of beers on tap.

Nick Morken

This is THE SPOT!!! If you're up in the air on a place to go as there are several options nearby, GO HERE! Took a small group with kids in on a Saturday night. Place was empty so we were a bit suspicious. Ordered a little bit of everything. A few 'tizers, wings, sushi, fried rice and meals for the kids. The food was very good!! Not often can you get tots, sushi and wings. One would think a range of that caliber would result in sub-par quality. Not the case here. I tried a bite of everything that we ordered and WOW. That with a nice selection of beer on tap, what else do ya want? The staff was great as well. If I am back in the area I will be returning.

Jeff Romer

Food was very good, nice beer selection, and friendly staff.

Daniel Jude

The best sushi in town by far and amazing prices. Super friendly staff too with a clean inside. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Troy Trahan

Amazing. We were searching for a place that offered burgers and sushi to satiate our eight year old (burger) and six year old (sushi). Never thought a place like that would exist. Well, we happened upon this place. Food was awesome. It's run by a family: son waited on us and was super sweet and accommodating. His mom made the sushi and dad and brother were in the back making the rest of the food. Seriously was the coolest place I've been in a while. Thank you for making our night!

Dennis Blauwkamp

Food was excellent and super kind waiter. Tad. Great bear

Randizzle

Took the whole family here for lunch and it was a great time. We ordered lunch and we got to try a little bit of everything the kentucky cheese steak was amazing and their sushi was absolutely delicious. Also great beer selection and courteous staff

Jason Still

The guerrilla warfare sauce here is crazy good. Get it on some wings, dip some fries in it, scrape every last bit of it out of the container. It might burn a little (or a lot), but you'll keep thinking about it and craving it until you can go back again.

Aria Higgins

Smoky wings and fresh cut fries! Picture: spicy bbq, bone-in. Asked for extra wet wings and it wasn’t what I usually see (when I request wet wings) but it was STILLLLLL GOOOOOOOOD! 🤤 I’ll definitely be back!

Richard Riney

love their burgers and always happy with beer selection and freshness

Eric Walthall

Great draft beer selection. The staff is always helpful choosing a drink and Wednesday's you can beat the cheap wings. Easily the best wings in the city and they have a new sauce just about every week.

Wesley Wilson

Excellent place to chill and try new craft beers with a few buds. Always have a superb selection of brews. Super rad staff. Owner is a swell guy who knows and loves craft beer. The food is even awesome. Much love for this place.

Sophie Link

Great local beer selection that's always rotating, fair prices for craft beer. Excellent bar food and the best hot "award winning" wings you've ever had - with spice levels ranging from insanely ghost pepper hot to peanut butter and jelly mild (that's not just a description those are flavors they actually have).

T. J. Hart

Great selection of beer. Knowledgeable and friendly bartender and chill crowd!

Chad K

Great selection of craft beers that is constantly rotating. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Though the food options are somewhat limited, what they have is pretty good, especially the giant pretzel!

Jacob Tidwell

Great local option for food in the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville.

Patrick John

Great little Drafthouse. Excellent bartender who is very personable. Never too busy. They have very good wings that are large and not served rubbery, nice and crispy.

Nicholas Johnson

For a place that calls itself a drafthouse, the food menu is actually very good (and vegetarian friendly!). The store is relatively small, though, so don't expect to fit overly large parties. My only complaint would be the heavy bias towards dark and stout beers and the lack of selection of lighter lagers, ales, pilsners, etc.

Curtis Williams

Awesome food, great beer, staff is very friendly. Patrick, the owner, will get you a beer that you will enjoy, just tell him what you like. He's very knowledgeable about beer. Great guy, my favorite bar.

D-rizzle

Since new management, food has taken a hit. Some of their wing sauce has lost flavor and more of a powdery than liquid substance. Philly steak sandwich really dry and no Steak Sauce! Usually come here for trivia, but will look elsewhere.

Jeremy Simms

I am so glad to see this family owned pub. Great beer selection. Wonderful to have Asian food and pub food in one place.

Dhusty Valeo

Really friendly staff and the food is awesome especially the wings. Beer selection is amazing and ever changing. Staff are all extremely knowledgeable of their stock so ask for recommendations if you don't know what to get. For the complainer about overpriced beer. That's what you'll pay anywhere for craft beer on draft. Why don't you go home and drink your canned Bud and stay away from places you can't handle. I've had most of their menu and EVERYTHING I've had is DELICIOUS. For the complainer about your girlfriend being drunk. Just because she has drinking issues doesn't give you a right to give a great Draft house one star because the waiter hit on your gf. Which has nothing to do with the owner accusing your gf of being drunk... which I'm guessing she probably was. I hate when people can't handle their alcohol. The service is great here and so is the food. I'm picky on both and though I admit bar food may not be for everyone... what exactly are you expecting to get when you come to a Draft house... IT'S BAR FOOD! Stop being crazy and realize that TRUE and GOOD beer will be more than a cheap redneck beer. Realize that a DRAFT HOUSE will serve BAR FOOD. If you're not into paying much go back to your cheap beer and stop complaining. There's nothing wrong with not liking bar food or drinking (having the taste for) cheap beer but don't come to a Draft house and complain about either. ANNOYING.

John Glessner

Great pub food, with some Korean influence and a few Korean dishes! Got the gorilla sauce (?) for the wings and it was unique and awesome!

James Dan Hardesty

Ahhh. Look I'm not sure everyone working there was doing so under their own free will. There was an authoritative old man in the back possibly shaving tips and no one seemed to want to be there. Understaffed trying to save a few bucks or maybe no one wants to work under his regime. Chicken wings were pretty damn good.

Michelle Turner

They were truly fabulous. I recommend this facility to anybody that wants good food and courteous service.

Ben Hankins

Great food and service— love the wings and sushi. Wide selection of beer and friendly staff, too.

Melissa F

Wings are fantastic. Friendly service. Nice small place to hang out with friends. They only have craft beer, nothing else to drink....except soda.

Kevin K

Sushi and wings are great! Highly recommend. Prices are very fair for the portions as well.

Sharon Nassar

Great food and great variety of beer. I recommend the chicken wings and specialty sauces. Steven makes the best wing sauce-they are different all the time.

Jacob Saylor

Favorite wings in the city. Beer selection rotates and always bringing in good stuff. Staff is always nice and willing to help you find that perfect beer for you.

Kayla Riddell

Good beer selection, meh food. Our server appeared to be either half asleep or super bored the entire time. Basically, come here if you're wanting to drink and have a snack. Avoid for dinner.

Amanda Rose

AMAZING!!! I Highly recommend trying this place ❤

Steve Finkelstein

Great Beer selection and a very good menu for a brew house. They don't make beer but have a great selection of local and national microbrews.

One of my favorite sports in town for craft beer. A real hidden gem. Generally not crowded. Well curated tap list.
