Pizza and a pint… does it get any better? It does, at Garage Bar in Kentucky. This quirky little spot is located in a former auto service garage in downtown Louisville’s vibrant East Market neighborhood. In addition to dishing up the best wood-fired pizza in Kentucky, Garage Bar has an amazing array of local brews and spirits, all in one of the most charming venues in the Bluegrass State.
Pizza and beer. A classic combination that’s beautiful in its simplicity.

The most definitive feature of this eatery, however, is its garage doors. The doors open up to one of Louisville’s most vibrant and historic districts, so you can enjoy the ambiance – and excellent people watching! – while you dine.

And when the weather is nice, the garage doors located at the back of the former service station literally open out to an enclosed backyard patio.

But it’s not all style and no substance at Garage Bar. The bar is modeled after a classic saloon, and the bartenders here serve up some of the most unique craft cocktails and specialty drinks in the Bluegrass State.

And of course, it’s not all pizza, all the time at Garage Bar. You’ll frequently find Southern specials on the menu, including this brunch platter: a sweet-and-savory pairing of homemade cinnamon sugar biscuits and jalapeño cheddar biscuits.
