four pegs beer lounge

really enjoyed it. we went for lunch on a saturday. the bartender was doing everything but cooking and he did a great job. he was very friendly and helpful regarding thebeerselection. the food was good - loved the fries. if we lived closer, this would be our new hang out.

breakfast stout. bestbeeron tap

tuesday wing night. wings are outstanding. nice atmosphere but more of hangout/bar than restaurant. nicebeerselection and good food, dragon burger was also great.

good food, good beer.. four pegs (formerly germantown cafe in my childhood), is pretty good. the food has always been delicious... my favorite are the fried green tomatoes (maybe the best i've had in the city?), and the fries. the chicken and waffle isnt too bad, but its severely heavy and definitely worth splitting. a greatbeerselection is available and the service is fast and straight to the point.

compliments to the chef. to put it simply, the food at four pegs is amazing. when my friends and i stopped by for lunch on saturday, it was pretty slow, which meant that we got to talk to the chef about the food. and based off what he told (and based off my taste buds), four pegs is now one of my favorite places in town. they practically make everything from scratch, and it really shows in things like thebeerglazed burger and chicken and waffle sandwich. i'm looking forward to going back in the future and trying the other items from their menu.

oh, and thebeeris pretty awesome as well.

meh! not worth going back.... the food was nothing great and the place was so loud we had to yell at each other. i will admit we are notbeerdrinkers, but the vast selection seemed like it would be a hit with those who do. the pretzel andbeercheese was not what i had imagined. thebeercheese was served cold and had a tart after taste that did not pair well with the overly salted pretzel. i ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich, which lacked any kind of flavor. the waffle itself was plain, so i tried only eating the chicken, which proved to be dry and flavorless as well. their fries were the only thing i actually enjoyed. my fiance ordered one of the burgers and it was good, nothing amazing, but it sure beat the flavorless sandwich i had. we will definitely not be returning for the food.

love thebeerand atmosphere at four pegs, but the food almost makes me not want to return. the burgers are fine (can you really screw up a burger?) and the fried green tomatoes hit the spot. the creme brûlée dessert is tops too, but i almost suspect it comes from gfs. everything else i've tried tastes like a culinary school student simply plopped something on a plate from a cisco truck so he didn't flunk the course. a few dishes try to get inventive, like chili cheese fries (do we really want veggie chili and three shreds of cheese on our fries?), but the interpretation is so bland and off the mark that i'd rather just eat carnival food. i understand the concept of gastropub, but i could honestly do better myself. fill up somewhere else on good food and come here for beer.

awesome food! great fish and chips.beercheese was really good- didn't taste like it can from a can. it was tangy and a little chunky, almost like pimiento cheese.beerselection is good too. no issues with service.

love four pegs. this place does nothing but rock. great atmosphere, greatbeerand top quality pub food. love the chicken and waffle sandwish, fish and chips, glazed angus burger.

meh. food- decent but noth.... meh.
food- decent but nothing i'd go back for.beerselection- meh, there are better in town. service - really meh. bad system. had to go up to the bar to order, to get napkins, to get silverware, to get another beer, to pay... you get the idea. pretty much self serve.

wife and i stopped in and i had the chicken and waffle sandwich. absolutely awesome, and lighter than i expected. love the maple mayo. wife had thebeerbattered fish, extremely large piece of fish...nothing special yet good. the fresh cut fries were also very good. we will go back.

okay.... i really want to like this place but could these people act any less interested in serving customers? when you act like you are going out of your way to do me a favor by simply getting me abeerit doesn't make me want to come back. that said in all fairness the food is decent but nothing that doesn't require a deep fryer. just be polite and keep the indie-tool act at home. germantown is exhausted.

great food, great beer. when my friends and i are looking for a place to hang out, four pegs is always high on the list. the food is delicious, especially thebeerglazed burger and chicken and waffle sandwich. thebeerlist is also amazing. some of my favorite beers in the world (dogfish head 120 minute, founders kentucky breakfast stout, and ommegang three philosophers to name a few) have all been on tap here!

i've noticed that quite a few people have commented on the service being "bad." however, i don't understand what they're talking about. the staff is awesome, and they're really knowledgeable about thebeerand food. i suppose that ordering at the bar might throw a few people off, but the bartenders have always been prompt whenever i've asked them for something.

overall, if you like goodbeerand tasty food, then you'll probably like four pegs.

great food, terrible service. i have been there twice now and had the same experience. all to food we had both times has been very good! thebeerselection is also very nice. the service has been terrible both times. the first time we went we actually left after appetizers because the attitude of the bartenders was awful! if you really feel like you are doing a customer a favor by listening to what they need and getting it for them "whenever you have time" then get another job. i really can't believe that the owner wants these kind of people working for him. i actually know people who are friends with the owner, so i feel bad giving a review like this. last night (the second time we went) we thought we would give the place a second chance. the attitude was the same. i guess we were ruining the bartenders night by asking for things. he was also very slow. it seemed like he would get around to getting yourbeerwhenever he felt like it. i can understand waiting when you are very busy, but there were only about 10 people there including us! i have been a server/bartender/manager for about 15 years and have worked in much busier environments than either night we went. one place i used to work i would have at least 60 people on my side of the bar and still give table service while working behind the bar, getting server drinks and taking to go orders. i would even do it with an attitude that made people want to come back! after this second trip i will sadly not be back to four pegs.

we will be back, but next time will be the clencher.. so... being new to louisville, we always end up trying new places because we get a groupon or living social deal. this place was no exception. so, for any of you restaurants considering not doing one of these, here is a good argument for it. we never would have found this place without it, and we will most definitely be back.
before i go any further i would like to say that our entire party agreed that four pegs, honestly the most unlikely of places if you ask me, officially has the best fish and chips we had ever had. and this coming from 3 serious foodies who have a combined total of 34 years in the "biz" and a german guy who has had his fair share of "fish and chips" from the land of "fish and chips," that being europe. it was perfect. fish was perfectly done, breaded just right, seasoned perfectly, best damn malt vinegar tartar sauce, i could go on... but you get the picture. oh yeah, and the chips were good too.
now, for the rest of the review. the outdoor seating area is a nice addition, but if you are planning to stick around past dark, you had better bring a flashlight. it is pitch black out there! if this place would like to encourage people to stick around, they need to get some string lights up on that fence and some citronella candles. seriously. and some potted plants wouldn't kill you. may i suggest citronella plants as well-- there is definitely a mosquito issue after dark.
thebeerselection is pretty good, they had hopfen-weisse, which is one of my all time faves, so, i was good. the other items we had were honestly only so-so, especially when compared with the fish and chips. fried green tomato burger was waaaay overcooked. like a hockey puck. and kind of flavorless for something that had the potential for so much flavor. the chicken and waffle sandwich, which could and should have been glorious, was not. the waffle, i do have to say was perfect, but the chicken just killed it. again, waaaay overcooked, some kind of (maybe blackening?) seasoning, that when combined with the dark brown fry job done to the crust, just tasted like, blech. the syrup (or honey) should be served hot and on the side; it just soaks into the the sandwich and makes it soggy. and there is nothing else on it. it just needs something... like some seasoned honey butter.
by the way, there is no table service, even though the bartenders/servers were literally sitting around (sitting down at their own bar) doing pretty much nothing. employees were coming and going (in their vehicles) which are in clear view of the outdoor seating area, in their kitchen gear. it was strange.
overall, i just got the impression that this place was not run very professionally (my husband used a four letter word, i believe it was "hipster").
i really hope this place can get their act together because i feel like it could be brilliant. four pegs would be the bomb if the staff would decide to put away their ipads for a minute (yes, i know your ordering system is on them, but don't lie, you were playing on them too), and take a little more interest in the customers, the aesthetics of the place, and for heaven's sake, look at what is on the plate!
