Mellwood Tavern is a great place to visit for a fried chicken dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or for a nice patio beer with friends. They offer a variety of types of fried chicken, including dark, light, and mixed. The meals are affordably priced and come with two sides. I highly recommend the greens and the potato cake. Mellwood Tavern also has decent happy hour prices from 4-7 (Tuesday-Sunday, I believe) and daily drink specials. The attached picture is a mixed fried chicken plate with green beans and a potato cake.

Always consistent in treating me and everyone well. Great music! They have silent Disco here SOMETIMES! They don't have table service. You order at the bar. The bartenders are great. Sunshine, Erin, and Kaylee. I'm here now and going to post a new review of the catfish fingers they have... Alrighty. GREETINGS. Catfish Fingers were goooood! Also, try the Tavern Tots!!! Super yummy 😋

Maybe the best live music venue that's just a bar in the city. Amazing outdoor space, great fried chicken and "Sunday service" (live music outside) starts at 5 on Sundays so you can still get up early the next day.

This is a very nice neighborhood bar & grill. There was an open mic night for comedians the night I was there. They have the open mic every Monday. Life is too short to spend it not laughing. Come out on Mondays & have a big laugh. I believe on other nights they have bands but I'm not sure which nights. This is a clean & friendly bar. Everyone there was really nice & welcoming to newcomers. Feel free to stop by any night of the week & relax and have a great time. If you are a funny person or if your friends dare you to try stand up, go up & give it a shot. Even if you just want to mark it off your bucket list. Everyone is very supportive of the comedians, especially first timers. They serve really good food. I would recommend that everyone come here. The Mellwood Tap is a friendly neighborhood bar. Stop in & see...

BEST BAR IN TOWN! Staff is awesome and makes you feel like a friend in their home. Plenty of cool things going on here from Larryoke on Thursdays, open Mic comedy night on Monday, and our favorote The Early Service on Sunday afternoons in which the whole family can come. The Early service is an outdoor concert with no admission charge. Mellwood has live music all weekend never with any admiasion charges. They keep their cooler stocked with rotating craft beers and the kitchen is cooking until the wee hours of the morning. If you haven't been here you are missisng out on lots of fun and...

You've gotta try this place for the Fried chicken. I would say its the best in the city, but I do believe it's the best in the state of Kentucky by far.! They only have a certain amount of chicken that they can cook per day so get there early if you want to reserve your spot and even if it takes a while, it's well worth the wait! They do the chicken on Tuesday and Thursdays only so it's always fresh cooked to order . It's a great place to come and get a few drinks while you're waiting on your chicken and believe me you'll be glad you did....
