Darin HagreJanuary 7, 2020The selection of Bourbon is ASTOUNDING! Lots and lots to choose from, with staff that are helpful and friendly. Food here is amazingly great too! Check this place out!
EaterJanuary 3, 2014This East End honky-tonk, "centered around Bakersfield Sound music and Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey," was named one of the top 10 whiskey bars in America by GQ. It's also a hot spot for brunch.
Travis DeedsMay 27, 2017Wonderful as always! Staff makes it a pleasure as they work together as a team. Most places it is the Server against the world not here you have a primary Server and but the others help out as well.
Zach RMarch 11, 2015This place rocks. Great service, cocktails, liquor selection, and atmosphere. The Mint Julep and Kentucky Mule are excellent. Can't wait to come back.
- EaterJanuary 8, 2014Honoring the "'Bakersfield Sound,' ... great juke joints and the spirited people who inhabited them" has earned The Silver Dollar much praise, both for whiskey and for food. [Eater 18 Member]
Always love the atmosphere and the fried pickles and. Chicken livers but the chicken and waffles will continue to make you come back for more
Tasha HunterFebruary 16, 2016The chicken and waffles (my friend ate those and I tried them). I had the double cheese burger with roasted ketchup that they make and it was DELICIOUS!
Those Moscow Mules are the bomb. They should be called Mind-Melting Moscow Mules. Fried okra is very decent, and they have an awesome collection of honky-tonk for the turntable. Good times.
Anuj MathurMay 21, 2015for brunch, you can't go wrong with an oyster po boy and a draft miller high life. plenty of space at the bar.
- Daniel BarnettOctober 19, 2014Great selection of bourbon, think it was in the range of 150+. Menu updated frequently. They even have a vodka ;)
Diego ReynosoJuly 17, 2016Chicken and waffles is a must. Fried pickles and oysters are excellent appetizers
So far anything you can select is great. Great atmosphere. Service depends on who you get.
Tracey SaelenNovember 11, 2012Went for brunch and had the shrimp & grits. Highly recommend it. So delicious!
BradJuly 1, 2016Amazing selection of whiskey by the glass. Beer pours are a bit short, but all is forgiven because they have gizzards.
Alice CarrollAugust 31, 2014For brunch, Bloody Mary (spicy and satisfying) and the Blinker (bourbon cocktail for brunch- yes please!)
Shane FordFebruary 8, 2015I got a drink called the hillbilly hellraiser. They should change the name to the jackass snowcone. Never had a drink that bad before. But I love this place.
Ross WSSeptember 5, 2016This elevated honky tonk is the place for bourbon in Louisville, where craft cocktails are in short supply. Silver Dollar changed that.
Miles & Smith Real Estate GroupOctober 4, 2012Get the North Coast Acme IPA...YUM! Great decor and vibe, even on a Tuesday night the place was full. Wasn't astounded by the homemade sauces, but they weren't nasty, and the service was helpful
Imani BgoodFebruary 23, 2016I love their brunch! Cornmeal pancakes are to die for and their chicken is yummy
$3 whiskey shot of the day. Limited vegetarian options. Great atmosphere. Ask for Shelby, she's cool.
Jay BandyMay 4, 2014Come for the bourbon stay for the food. Added to the list of favorites in my hometown.
Matt KSeptember 15, 2013One of the best restaurants I've been to in this city. Best fried oysters ever!- Get Mark to make you a 'Forever June'; you will not be sorry!
jeff radcliffeOctober 20, 2013Best meal I've had in a long time. Get the banana pudding, you won't regret it.
Nitesh KumarAugust 20, 2016They have such a collection of bourbons that they sell their menu for $15.
Blake HerringtonDecember 12, 2014Huge portions! Delicious drinks! Michiladas? In Kentucky? Who knew!
The Chicken & Waffles were a major disappointment. Flavorless chicken & half a waffle for $18. Order something else - there's plenty of good things on the menu but this isn't it.
