Phoenix Hill Tavern

Good place to go for drinks and live Music!. I have been going to PHT For almost 12 years now, and have had some positive good times, and some bad. You cant really classify a place as "not a good place to go" it all depends on how your experience was, and how the people there for that particular night appeared to be. Wednesdays are not a good suggestive night to go due to the 'bootay shakin' thing, and yes, they have all sorts of people that dress down right gross, but all you have to do is not go on the nights that they PHT has these events. Or simply go to another floor, away from the particular crowd you wish to stay away from.

The bands are well performed on stage, and I have met some of the members there. Stereo Deluxe, is a great band, and I would love to see them play there again! Friends of mine also play the Roof Garden and it's a lovely place to hang, and meet new people. It's not about picking someone up. It's about Social Events, and having fun! PHT has the best New Years Eve Bash In Louisville!! Hands Down. With many other events!

One last note before you go...don't check your coat in, you may not get it back. My friend loses her jacket every time we go. They simply have so many people there at times that they lose jackets, coats, scarves and things of the sort when you check them in, so be mindful of what you take in with you. They are not responsible for any lost items.

Have a good time, but remember it is still a Bar, no matter the occasion. Cheers! -=Osia=-…

never show up here. the biggest meat fest in town the worst place to go to pick up ladies (Unless u go for the big on) good food and local bands cheap drinks wednesday night 1 AM booty shackin contest (all fat girls) overall this place is to crowed and full of fack girls and snoobya** guys…

don't go unless you want to laugh your butt off at the idiots!. this place used to be classic! and when i say "used to be" i mean early 90s and before. now it's a meat market for the overfed. if you like chicks stuck in the 80s, with the big hair, bad make-up, clothes four sizes too small for their rotund bodies and more muffin top than you can shake a stick at. if you like your guys like cavemen (undereducated, barely literate, questionable whether they should ever speak AND grabbing your butt, which applies to the females too, really) dressed in more "bling" than 50 Cent and you like seeing random stranger's underpants because their pants don't fit.

if that's your bag, you'll be in hog heaven. if not, MISS THIS PLACE WITH WIDE BERTH.

there are occasional promoted shows that are put on at Phoenix Hill as the venue itself is pretty decent with a good sound system and acoustics. if there is a band you like that is playing there, it will probably sound great, given they have their own sound people. the bar itself is very interesting and has a lot of history and there are several rooms for music that sound good, given the bands are good.

so...

venue - good

crowd - HORRIBLE!…
