Best wings in Louisville, in my opinion. Especially at the happy-hour price point!! Shrimp is good, daily specials are delicious and affordable. I dunno how they can be so cheap when everyone else is outrageous, but your lunch/daily special here is cheaper than fast food!! I WANT to give 5* for service, but my wife and I come here quite often and it can be a little slow at times. They're just that busy. It's always packed no matter the times we've gone. I think two new folks just started per their Facebook post, so service may get quicker!
Great wings. Fun local sports bar. That being said, the owner should make it mandatory for waitstaff to "write down" every order on paper. There's nothing impressive about trying to memorize a tables order. Nothing good can come from it. There's no gain. It can only hurt you. They forget to ring items in. Management should take that very seriously. I've been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years, and witnessed too many servers not writing their orders down, and they would frequently forget items.
An unplanned visit that was a fun time. While in Louisville, I had "time to kill". Four of us were looking for a Sports Bar to watch some college basketball, drink a beer, and get some food. We were seated quickly. A solid selection of beer on tap. The food was average (wings were dry and the burgers overcooked)...the only redeemed food item was the Philly Steak and onion rings (sparse serving size). The TVs were plenty and the crowd was excellent! True UofL Cardinals fans, but the place was never too loud...good energy and atmosphere, but never annoyingly loud.
Awesome place to catch a game or just eat or have a few drinks. Courtney was our amazing waitress and kept our drinks coming. Beer is cold. Food specials were great price and actually tasted better than the reg menu options. Club is good too but I do not recommend the burgers. Maybe I just had a bad one but wasn't very good all the way around. But out of 3 meals 2 were awesome and can't deny the atmosphere here. Close the the Expo center so great place to eat if you are at one of the shows...
Hoops is Awesome! It’s been a Southend staple for years and for good reason! The food comes out quickly and always taste great! The Black N Blue burger is my favorite thing to get here! I’ve never had a burger that savory anywhere else! Hats off to the owner and all the employees who work hard to keep this place going for all of us, you are truly appreciated!!!!
If you end up going on a Game Day be prepared for it to be busy, may have to park in a lot next to the main parking lot but doesn't mean they cannot find you a place to park your booty inside! Was seated in no time, was served quickly and always made sure asked if needed anything else! Food was tasty and good for the pockets too!! Family friendly is always great too!! Been multiple times and still have great times there!!
I love stopping at this place when I'm in the area. Food has always been great and so are the prices. Great spot to watch some sports and have food and drinks. Had a bacon cheeseburger and potato skins.
Wings here are great, but service isn't great. Last time I went, we were there for happy hour but got charged full price for wings. Didn't notice until we got home.
