Outlook Inn

Where everybody knows your nameeee.... and I mean that. I don't live in Louisville, but but the OL is the place to go for genuine good times and pretty cheap (and delish) cocktails. Family run, great bartenders and yes, they remember my name. Great location, too.

Weekends also boasts a walking taco buffet and Megan's Margeritas! (seasonal, I think)

A gem for it's surroundings! Its in the Irish pub area of Bardstown rd- which is a pretty cool spot. However, the Outlook stands out for me. It's the only bar in that area that isn't your average college hookup bar filled with as many greek letters as you can count! It is chill, a great place to shoot pool, and they have the best bloody mary in town! So when you realize that youre not 21 anymore, walk down the the Outlook and thank god that you've graduated!

It's comparable to The Back Door in the sense that it's got pool tables, a diverse crowd and pretty stiff pours. Unfortunately there's no food here and it's the kind of bar that really just conjures up a craving for fried and/or greasy bar food. When you feel that pang hit your stomach you can at least order a Bloody Mary. Hey, it kind of resembles food, right? Anyway, they're consistently voted the best Bloody Mary's in Louisville, but I will say the one I had last weekend was not the powerful burst of savory flavors I've had in the past. But the one thing that'll never change is that the Outlook will always be an oasis from the Irish bars surrounding it.
