5.0 of 5 stars. Once I get cut off at a place do I ever go back. The Irish Rover is the exception. I moved back to Louisville in the mid-90's. I had been to New York and Dallas,places where you could find a decent...

Yelp.com Review - by Jenn J.

5.0 of 5 stars. I have never had a bad meal or bad service here at the Rover. You can sit at the bar and drink and eat or you can be a bit more respectable and sit at the table and drink and eat. It doesn't matter....

Yelp.com Review - by Kevin A.

5.0 of 5 stars. Closest thing I've found to a pub in the US yet, and the best Guinness pour I've had outside of Boston or NYC. The crowd and staff are always good, too. They don't serve lots of Ketel Red Bulls,...

Yelp.com Review - by carolynne r.

4.0 of 5 stars. So, I had been given info that the Irish Rover was the real deal and it was worth checking out. We came for dinner to a half-full restaurant. Oh I should mention that this building used to be a...

3.0 of 5 stars. When the weather is fine and I feel walking to a pub, this is where I go. I like to sit outside and order appetizers.

Irish food & great beer.

I was looking for some hearty "comfort" food and found it at "The Rover" - I've been going there for years, anything you get there is great. Did I mention the beer? -The beers are good too.
