• American • Downtown Louisville
Booked 13 times today
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.

Joe’s Crab Shack offers a variety of favorites from all parts of the sea and shore. From its extensive menu, guests can choose from buckets of seasonal seafood, fried shrimp platters and fish dishes, as well as options from the “mainland” that include steak, sandwiches, and chicken. Guests can indulge in over-sized and creative cocktails, such as the Shark Bite which is playfully garnished with a shark toy. Since its inception, Joe’s popularity has stemmed not only from its menu, but also its retail store. With various pieces of merchandise for purchase, including the ever-popular tie-dye T-shirt with the phrase “Peace, Love and Crabs,” Joe’s has become synonymous with the word “fun.”

    This place is pretty awesome. Our server was amazing. She gave us several recommendations and thoroughly explained what those dishes were. Super friendly! The manager came by and talked to us for a few minutes while we waited on our check to be paid and she was awesome, too. The music is a little loud but not so bad you couldn't have a conversation across the table. The atmosphere was really cool and we felt welcome. Of course the food was great, too. If you're into Venezuelan cuisine, or just want to try something new, give it a shot. You won't be disappointed!

    My wife ordered the Atlantic Steampot steamed with butter on the side. Although delicious, the seafood selection was underwhelming for the price of the meal. I ordered a pasta alfredo which was filling and tasty.

    It was a very festive environment. We thought the drinks and snack foods was right with the theme. I surely love the Santa-gria and my boyfriend loved the drink with the Fireball and Cinnamon in and the drinks were served in festive glasses. The karaoke was nice too. Yes, I would recommend to our friends. Also bec back next year for Christmas to celebrate our 1st Anniversary of our relationship...Tinsel Taven was our 1st dating place....Thanks!!!
