New Albanian Bank Street Brewery

Great gastro pub.  Food prepared by chefs and not your typical 'bar" food.  Brunch is fantastic too.  Eggs benedict rock.

As a longtime fan of New Albanian's brews, I really wanted to enjoy my meal at the Bank Street Brewery. However, poor service and mediocre brunch at a premium price soured our experience. After entering and being seated, we waited over 10 minutes before being seen by a waiter or waitress.

When the time came our waitress did not explain what was going on with the whole Bloody Mary bar and omelette bar, just handed us menus. 10 minutes later she took our food order but rushed off before we could ask for drinks. After sitting 5 minutes longer with no drink of any kind, we finally managed to flag down another server to ask for drinks by looking generally disgruntled.

The wait was incredibly frustrating because bartenders, cooks and wait staff appeared to be moving through the restaurant glad-handing regulars throughout our entire meal.

I was generally pleased with my Kentucky Eggs Benedict, but the hash browns were over-done and under-flavored. My fellow diner got the combination option, going for hash browns, bacon, a biscuit and eggs. Her hash-browns were in the same-state as mine; her biscuit was hard and dry. With a chef-priced menu, I expected better quality ingredients (i.e. bacon), especially with the limited portion size.

My experience appears to have been atypical; however I could not honestly recommend the NAB Bank Street Brewery based on my experience there.

The beer was good and reasonably priced.

So far the best brewery in area. Visiting Louisville and came over bridge to check New Albanian Brewery after tasting Louisville local brewery. Great selection. Elector was the best. Pomme frites with spicy sour cream is recommended
