Against the Grain is at Louisville Slugger Field, facing Main Street. You do not need to be attending a game to access it. They are open 7 days a week. We were running short on time to eat before a game. It was convenient to find a good parking spot early and eat at ATG before a Bats game. My... More

Made a recent visit and came away impressed. Pleasant, with an open ambiance, excellent and attentive staff, and good beers. Features their own beers as well as a selection of brews from other fine brewers. Didn’t get a chance to sample the eats, but they certainly looked good. We’ll stop in again. More

Another workday lunch in downtown Louisville. Which means we weren't sampling the brewery options...just the food. The lunch menu had a nice selection of appetizers, a soup du jour, a black bean chili, a couple of salads and a variety of barbecue/smoked entrees...chicken, pork, beef brisket, sausage. There was an impressive number of vegan/vegetarians options. I ordered the pork. The... More

ATG has beer as good as you will find anywhere. They are not afraid to experiment a bit, but do not get crazy. They have a smoked Scottish Ale that is out of this world good. I did not taste any offering that was not top of the line for the style. On the other hand, the food has a... More

Showed up for our reservation, was told that the person who took my reservation by phone booked our party for another night. We were then told how "lucky" we were that they had one table left that could accommodate our party. We should have left then. Service was extremely slow. Staff should be able to take drinks and appetizer orders... More

We had to wait a long time to be seated. The waitress couldn't give a good beer recommendation. They use words like "shart" to describe their beer selections. They played some heavy death metal music that was stressful and practically ruined everyone's meal. My food was ok but overpriced. My friends' food looked disgusting. More

Went a couple of weeks after ATG opened. The brats were fixed differently than any we had seen but thought we would have one. Really good. Came sliced lengtwise with a white sauce and slivers of corned beef. Great taste. Now for the really good part, the Smoke beer was as good as it gets. The best smoked beer I... More

A few weeks ago, my family and I visited "Against the Grain," the newest microbrewery in Louisville, and then quickly returned a week later. This beautiful new eatery is located in Louisville's premier baseball facility, "Slugger Field," and only a few short blocks from the University of Louisville's new basketball arena, the "Yum Center." My family and I originally went... More

We went here for lunch excited about a new restaurant, especially after reviewing the menu online. However, everything ordered was disappointing. The hominy appetizer was greasy corn nuts. The Monty cristo was a toasted ham and cheese. The homemade chips were stale and chewy. The veggie burger was slimy and inedible. Thehummus was bland. No one was satisfied with the... More
