About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    The vibe in this place is so cool! Parking is a little weird, and don’t accidentally go across the bridge when trying to find this place! My husband had the chicken and waffle sandwich and absolutely loved it. I had the club and it was just OK.

    Burger was average. I’ve had a lot better. Broccoli was over cooked and soggy. Server was friendly and efficient.

    We were we were the first customers of the day before a basketball game. Server was pleasant and timely. The fish and chips I ordered was inedible. It was sitting in a pool of grease, the fish was undercooked and the breading just fell off. The coleslaw was completely tasteless. Very disappointed experience.

    Ambience was unique and service was great! The food is mixed - eight of us dining. Burgers were good, French dip was fantastic. Chicken and waffle came with burned waffle. Kentucky hot brown was authentic but cheese sauce could have used FAR less flour. The chicken sandwiches and fries were cool to cold - definitely not hot. The overall price was very reasonable, so no complaints there.
