About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
Nestled in Louisville's historic Whiskey Row, Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar masterfully blends traditional Southern fare with fresh seafood in a restored 1870s building. Now serving breakfast daily, start your morning with locally roasted coffee and Southern classics like Kentucky Derby Hot Browns. Our scratch kitchen serves Memphis-style BBQ, house-smoked meats, and fresh oysters, alongside Kentucky's largest bourbon collection—over 2,500 bourbon, rye, and whiskey expressions, including exclusive barrel-aged selections from local distillers. From baby back ribs to daily-sourced seafood, we offer a distinctive fusion of land and sea. The warm, exposed-brick atmosphere, with bourbon barrel accents, pays homage to Louisville's whiskey heritage. Steps from the KFC Yum! Center, Doc Crow's provides authentic Southern hospitality in Bourbon Country. Whether you're an early bird, bourbon enthusiast, or visiting food lover, our award-winning menu makes every meal memorable.

    I did not enjoy sitting by the door that goes into the kitchen seeing how dirty it was and I felt like I was in a dark hallway with the bussing station.

    Our server was excellent. Food was great. Drinks were also great. Staff was helpful with recommendations for other things to do on Whiskey Row. Highly recommend Doc’s for a great place to eat. Noise level was moderate. It’s a bbq place, lots of large groups, families and lively conversations. Some tables could be much louder than they needed to be.
