Food was ok but bartenders and other staff were snooty. I tried it a second time and was disappointed will not return.

We had a great visit to Holy Grale this past Friday for drinks and a light bite to eat. We enjoyed seeing some of the social life of Louisville since we are from out of town. We quickly visited the Choir Loft which was packed and very hot -- but seemed like a very cool little space! We found two... More

you go here for the beer and will come back for the food. inventive food items excellently prepared and it's locally sourced. the beer menu is impressive and with unusual choices. best bet is to tell the bartender what you like, name it or describe it, and they will pick one for you .... trust em they are seldom off.

OK, I have a fairly good knowledge of beer. A home brewer for many years and always seeking out new beers and old favorites. Just want to say that I am NOT a "Bud Man" (don't much care for the Cubs either). So when I pick up the beer list at HG (typically offering 25 or so taps) and I... More

Great destination for draft beers of the world. Pleasant atmosphere and recently opened garden area, of course you will want to be there on a good weather night. Otherwise enjoy this reformatted church for its unique brews and food.

That's right folks, there is a pub in Louisville serving a variety of Belgian beers. The atmosphere is good, lots of brick and hardwood, with a balcony bar as well. I did not try any of the cuisine, but the menu was extremely tempting. This place is a must for beer geeks.

We came on a very busy day, but were able to get our food very quick. We ordered the hamburger and pork belly sliders. Both were awesome but I highly recommend the burger! The pretzels are great too. Large selection of high end beer with good descriptions of what you are getting.

The Holy Grale is a fine bar but the food is less than stellar. Seating is close. Language is not conducive to children. There are many beers to choose from but no tasting and if you get a lousy beer you bought it. Not to mention that small beers at eight dollars a beer which you don't care for lessens... More

This place hits the best of the region on tap. All the best crafts are in action, local and regional. The beer makes this place worth the visit, but the food did not disappoint. The pork sliders with kimchi were yummy! The falafel sliders were also very good. The fries were okay. The attempt to get a unique dipping sauce... More
