It's so close. Go out the back door, right on Fern, left on Payne and it's a block & a half on the left. Very cool decor, and excellent fresh Itallian cuisine with locally grown & sourced food.

A trip to Sergio's is like stepping into an episode of Seinfeld. No signage out front and nothing to indicate you're at a bar until you enter. This is a tough one to recommend because we Louisvillians like to keep our secrets a secret. However, because we want your stay to be memorable we suggest you check it out. With over 800 different bottled or tapped beers available you might be lucky enough to present your beer of choice to Sergio himself and he will choose the glass best suited to your beer.

Right around the corner and a cool slice of history! Check out the back with the open cave/cellars used during prohibition. Indoor cornhole is unique and the bar looks like a HUGE mixing sound board
