The Troll Pub opened on October 19th 2011, underneath the 2nd Street Bridge in a 135 year old space directly next to the YUM Center on historic Whiskey Row. The Troll Pub is a subterranean retreat that features a Gastro-pub style menu with a wide selection of great tasting food items, craft beer, local artwork, and an overall atmosphere unique to Louisville. We are just blocks from the Louisville Convention Center and only steps away from many of the hottest attractions and hotels situated downtown. Just look for the Troll on the corner of 2nd and Washington, he will show you the way.

    We made an Open table reservation but when we showed up they informed us the kitchen was closed. So we did not have the opportunity to eat here

    It was boring, food was standard pub fare. Felt rushed by staff. We were the only customers. They wanted to close even though it just opened.

    Our waitress was really friendly but the establishment was understaffed and we only saw our waitress to order food, bring our food (eventually), and our check. It took 2 hours from the time we sat down until we paid our tab. The food was pretty good. We picked this place for the atmosphere and menu but for us, it was a one and done for us.

    I made a reservation however our table was what seemed to be a squeeze in we were in the middle of the restaurant 2 small uneven tables pushed together making it difficult to eat and table wobbled so water sloshed everywhere from our glass till we drank half of it No leg room or place to put my feet that wasn’t on a foot of a table. Was hoping for a good experience as I’d done a lot of research on it’s history but was very disappointed
