Tin Roof

Service was slow which seemed odd to me and my friend because there were two servers and maybe 4 tables at the most.  When folks come in there for lunch and they're dressed in dresses and ties, they're obviously on lunch breaks so it would seem the servers would have a greater sense of urgency.

The food was pretty good, but I was only there because there was a 25% off special and we had to go there to get our Tap and Run entries anyway.  I'd probably go there again late at night to drink beer with friends and/or to hear live music, but not just to dine.  The pizzadilla is a neat concept, but I've made better ones at home honestly.

No wonder they already have a low rating.  Ruined by birthday event due to catty young bartenders who threw my friend out of the establishment.  They need to learn how to run a business and keep the customer FIRST as opposed to the employees egos!

I would like to see Louisville go in this direction. No reason Louisville can't be a better country music scene, based on turnout for any country act that comes to town it's always a hit. As for Tin Roof , the food is just ok. Not bad bar food,but definitely not somewhere I would go specifically to eat. Good drink and wing specials. Monday all you can eat wings $10 then wash it down with one of five old man cans for $1. Thursday they have the largest plastic cups I have even seen in a bar, 32oz for $3. I think they have a special every night, but those are my favorites. Music here is usually pretty good, live act I believe every night. They bring in some up and coming acts. Only down side is the sounds system. It is literally so loud you can yell across the table and still have to repeat yourself a few times to be heard. No way to have a conversation when the band is playing. Not sure why they crank it up so loud, Nashville bars do not do that and the bands sound great. We usually head outside so we can actually hear what is being said. Seating is another issue, on a busy night forget about finding a seat. If you got so lucky to get a seat, be warned after a certain time, tables and chairs are moved to make room for the dance floor. This location would be a lot better in a bigger building with a bigger outside. Since it is st matthews  it would probably cost a fortune for the size location to do TinRoof right. They have made changes to try and make more room, got rid of several booths which were just in the way. All of this being said, TinRoof is my favorite bar in St Matthews. Decent music, good drink specials, nice size dance floor, and friendly staff, oh I almost forgot it is the only bar where we actually feel safe in St Matthews. It could be improved, but for now it's the best thing going in St Matthews.

Note: If you want to blend in better wear you boat shoes and polo.....or you can always rock your plaid whatever.
