Black Jockey's Lounge - Louisville

Food is ok the music makes it good with great company

Bar Service was slow, food came within expected time. Food wasn’t terrible, but nothing to write home about. Definitely not a destination unless you need the convenience of being across from the Palace theater.

We went there before going to a show at the Palace because it was convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the menu and food was disappointing.

This was a cool spot located downtown. They had line dancing in the front with a DJ. They even had someone teaching the dances and there were some complicated ones.I went with a friend and we sat in the back, further away from the speakers. It was pretty loud.I got the Murphy to drink $14), the steak tacos $16), which is was list as an appetizer and greens $7). The steak tacos were good but they were loaded with onions. The greens have a strong vinegar flavor but I like vinegar so it works for me.The service was just ok. They forgot my greens and I had to flag down the server to get them. She walk by multiple time but did not check on us. I will chalk it up to them being busy.

It's a beautiful place so we were really expecting something good. We were very disappointed. The hostess seemed confused about where to sit us which led to us standing awkwardly in the middle of the restaurant for a minute or so. Our server forgot our menu and one of our drinks while she was busy texting right next to us at the bar. The food was over-priced and under-flavored. My shrimp and grits was unseasoned save for the inch of oil that rimmed the plate. My companions burger and Mac and cheese were equally bland and greasy. Our cocktails weren't even made right! On top of that the live music was a mediocre DJ who just played songs from the radio with zero mixing while occasionally saying his own name over it. Overall it was a very poor introduction to Louisville.
