Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Louisville

Julie Harwood

This was lovely. As a human with gluten intolerance it gets old feeling like I have to apologize for asking what the ingredients are and explaining why and what half the time in restaurants. Here, everything is clearly marked, our waiter asked about preferences right up front and was able to say what menu items to avoid and how other menu items could be easily modified. He was fantastic. The food and cocktails were delicious as was the ambience.

They took my need for gluten free food extremely seriously!

Service and atmosphere of the bar was great! Very nice people. The regular bread sliders were pretty good (I'm told). The gluten free bread was just okay. Taste and texture akin to an undercooked homemade biscuit, but it was certainly better than no option at all! We had banana pork, halloumi, and venison & pork. The pork was the standout - very good! I can only imagine how delicious the pork belly is. They have gf fryers for the tators and fries, but everything else is fried in the shared fryer. There were a couple options that were technically gf but were in the shared fryer; so they were cross contaminated. Service staff were great! They answered all my questions and were very accommodating. Not sure why Google lists this as a "new American" restaurant. It seems to very clearly be a Nordic restaurant of some sort...?

Shelby (with the awesome hair) was our server on our first visit. She helped us pick menu items that could be adjusted to be gluten-free, and she was spot-on about the amount of food two ladies needed for lunch. Appreciated that!

Doc Crow’s has the most number of reviews (+4,000 as of 4/2025) and they are all consistently high. Plus, I was in a hotel around the corner - definitely had to stop by. Ate at the bar. Great atmosphere - plenty of bourbon and beer for you to choose from. They have a dedicated gluten free menu - a photo is attached. All the meats and the obvious sides are okay - as are the wings. Got the wings and the ribs. I did politely ask if I could sample a small piece of brisket and was told my only option was to “order the sampler platter.” It’s great that they have that - but I’m not interested in sampling pulled pork or chicken. My preference is beef brisket and ribs. The ribs fell off the bone. The wings were good - nothing special. The baked beans were really good. The guy next to me was unhappy with the food, as he doesn’t like dry rub style and prefers lots of sauce, and he doesn’t like fatty brisket - they charge $2 for lean brisket and I guess he didn’t go for it. Again, I didn’t get to try the brisket and there is no ability to order just meat, and there are no 2 or 3 meat combo plates.

Food was delicious!! Love that there are gluten free options. The service was absolutely outstanding! The whole experience was wonderfully unique.

Craig Scarboro

Food is always amazing. Service is great as well. Also gluten-free friendly for celiac as well.

Janelle Aguiar

Took my Mom here for her birthday lunch and we had a great time with great service. Most importantly, she has dietary restrictions and they had a gluten-free menu with plenty of choices!

Underhill Family

This was our first time at a Carrabbas in 20 years. Having Celiac I was impressed with how many gluten free options they had. I got the pollo Rosa Maria and it was very salty. The manager walked by and asked how our meal was and I mentioned it was great but over salted. I love salty food but even for me it was a lot. I was surprised that she comped my meal and offered to get me something else. I still ate most of it and used the mashed potatoes to cover up the saltiness. The ambiance and cleanliness was great! Our server didn’t seem like he liked his job very much and his tone made it sound like he was bored and didn’t love his job. My husband even cracked a joke about it after he took our order. All in all, I think we’ll go back again to try it out another time.

Elaine DS

Our first time here and will definitely gonna be back! We loved the calamari so much that we had to order another one. Drinks are really good as well as the presentation. Owners & staffs are very welcoming! Also would like to mention that they have good selection of Gluten Free items.

Megan Forbes

I had a wonderful experience here last weekend! With Celiac disease it's sometimes hard to find a place that's safe for me to eat, but the server and the manager of Proof On Main both assured me of how seriously they take food allergies. It meant the world for the manager to take the time to speak with us. My meal was delicious and it was even better knowing that they care about food allergy safety! Next time I'm in the city we will definitely be back.

John Mix

Great food, good service, gluten free options

Christiane Sehlinger

Be prepared to spend money, but be prepared to eat in one of the finest restaurants in Louisville. The food is exceptional. Service is impeccable. Our waiter overheard us discussing our future grandchild (due 2023) and presented the expectant parents with a cute onesie and bibs. My husband has gluten allergies and they immediately presented him with a gluten free menu. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend this restaurant.

Brian Jenkins

Not a bad place to eat, burgers are delicious but they barely ever get my wife’s order right. She is a celiac patient and I express to them a gluten free bun they usually get that right but I always say Red Robin gourmet burger the last 2 out of 3 times they got the gluten free bun but the wrong burger. I say the burger 3 to 4 times they still got it wrong

Leen Moreno

Delish. Everything and so many gluten free options.

Paul Clark

Excellent service, delicious food, a variety of Italian options, and a great atmosphere to relax and enjoy friends. Both meals I’ve had here have been awesome; there’s also the option of whole wheat or gluten free pastas.

Alex Milan

Gluten free breakfast! I was so happy to find this place during my stay. It was pricey but, I had a kale and tomato omelette, gluten free toast (toasted on a cookie sheet in the oven to avoid the toaster) and mint berries. Worth the money and I did not feel sick!

V. Rodgers

Great service, atmosphere, and wonderful full. Excellent gluten free choices!

Axelle

The gluten free pizzas are absolutely amazing !

Richard Miller

The food was ok but overpriced. I had a burger and tator tots, which was $18. It's not overpriced, but I'd expect better for that price. The thing that pissed me off was the nickel and dime pricing on everything else. They charged me $2 extra for soda on a, already Very profitable $13 Buffalo trace, so sleezy. My wife got a black bean burger. They charged me $2 for the gluten free bun And an extra $1 for vegan cheese. Neither of which we were informed prior to the bill.

Nate Imthedj

Mixed drink are niiiicely poured. The gluten-free pizza is amazing! Cool vibe and music. Customer service is friendly. Highly recommend especially for gluten free pizza, it's the bomb.

Justin Rutledge

Mike was great. Thanks for suggesting the broccoli crust pizza. It was great. Nice thin crispy crust. I like the pizza sauce also. Lots of options such as gluten free or crustless pizza.

Jaret Hill

Traditional Southern soul food unvarnished without pretense. Served to you hot and delicious by the lady who made it who also owns the place that carries her name. I ordered the slow cooked and tender "Trotter" also k own as a pig's foot. It was piping hot and delicious ( never low cal, never low cholesterol, never low fat but always gluten free!) I took Greens as my side. Greens here come with fresh tomato and onion, which is a variation on greens I've not had before. The greens were excellent with or without the tomatoes and onions. I gift recommend the sweet tea too.

Jeffrey Kessler

Really liked all aspects of this place. Great Bourbon selection without outrageous prices. Multiple gluten free choices as well.

Libby Berman

A celiac can eat here. The servings are huge& the staff caring. Take out is extremely well done here. Outside seating.Dog friendly. I really recommend Joy Luck.

Staci Cool

Great place! Gluten free crust was amazing and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area.

Underhill Family

Great restaurant with amazing burgers. My only issue is that it cost $150 for a family of 6 to eat here. Having celiac disease, I did love all the options they have and a gf burger bun that’s actually good!

Kara Knorr

Almost all their dishes are gluten free or can be customized gluten free. The brussel sprouts are a must. I know what you are thinking brussel sprouts?!?!? But seriously no one does Brussel Sprouts like Varanese

Cassandra Neal

We had great experience tonight the server Victoria was AMAZING !! Was not disappointed at all !!! Food was fantastic , we had a gluten allergy in our group and it was handled great !!! Thank you #blindsquirrelrestaurant #blindsquirrel #buzzybooth

Margaret Carrell

Great food. We liked everything we tried! Gluten free pizza available!

Ellen Biemer

Good pizza, but they insist on putting the gluten free crust pizza on foil, so it’s soggy by the time it gets home. Even when asked, they refuse to put it in the box without the foil.

Angela Hinton

Great gluten free pizza!

Libby Berman

A celiac CAN eat here; there are only 2 or 3 options,though: the nachos,mock burger,and possibly vegetarian chili. They are obsessed with pork here,which is a turn off. Very loud,noisy,though there is outdoor seating I have been here a couple of times.

Wendy Batdorf

Yummy food. Wish they had more gluten free options like for pizza & burgers

Corey Soyka

Gluten free

Tristan Browne

My wife and I happened upon this place when we couldn't get in for brunch elsewhere. Off the Rails TOTALLY caught us by surprise. The wine tasting is super affordable and everything we tried was delicious (both dry and sweet options). I had the biscuits and gravy (were solid) and my wife (celiac) got the charcuterie board which standard came with gluten free crackers. It was really impressive! We will absolutely come back!

Sarah Kaiser

Such a great lunch today at Tim Tam Tavern! I had the Hawaiian pizza and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I’m glad I chose the personal pizza (four thin slices) instead of the full 12 inch pizza because I wouldn’t have been able to stop eating it! Others in our group got the Gluten Free veggie pizza and a BLT with German potato salad. None of us left any food on our plates! Service was very friendly and fast. The prices were great too. This is going to be dangerous having so close to my work, but I will definitely be returning!

Pip Egerton

Great place to relax, great service and atmosphere.- accomodation given to gluten intolerance- my ch appreciated .

Lori Brown

Quite loud and we sat right under the huge fans, which made my food get really cold before you could eat it. The picture is of my gluten free options. Pulled pork was delicious, the sweet potatoes left me wanting more of a sweeter taste.

MaryLiz Bender

Incredible atmosphere, wonderful service, and great prices. They have tons of great options for vegetarians and, while they don't have a gluten-free pizza, they offer many Celiac-friendly, very tasty plates to choose from!

Brittany Mellum

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to suggest items that were gluten free and items to stay away from because of cross contamination. The steaks were juicy and flavorful. There was garlic butter on top of the salmon that enhanced the flavor. I'm not a corn eater, but the rest of the table raved about the creamed corn (even recommended it to the table next to us). We were bot a big fan of the brussel sprouts and would try the asparagus next time, but the mushrooms had great flavor too! Gosh, and then the desserts; the chocolate cake could be shared between at least 3 people, and the bread pudding was the favorite at our table for those that were gluten free!

megan h

Such a cool and welcoming place! As a non pet owner we ADORED being able to come in and play with all the friendly doggos and meet their hoomans! From the "barktenders" to the "bark rangers" everyone was extremely friendly. They even had Gluten free hard ciders on dedicated taps to include those with allergies/celiac disease! We only meant to spend an hour or two as a visit, ended up spending closer to 7 hours there! Loved that they had trivia that evening. Super fun!

Michelle Karschner

Arrived on a Friday night with party of 13 and they quickly accommodated our large party. Our server was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed and with a timely manner. Food was hot and good. Portions are smaller than expected compared to other places however was plenty enough food to fill you up. Good selection of menu items, sauces, and easily able to accommodate gluten free. Beautiful locations in a great area for downtown activities. We will definitely be back.

Lauren Bazemore

Fantastic food and even better service. I took my entire team here for dinner tonight and everyone had a great time. Very accommodating and made sure everything was perfect. They even made gluten free pizzas and a gluten free birthday cake!! I’d recommend this place for a fun family evening or a much larger group event. You won’t be disappointed!!

Charity Serrano

This place is AMAZING!!! I have celiacs disease and they went ABOVE and BEYOND the manager helped with the menu and personally made my food . The server Ashley had such amazing hospitality amd so personable!! Food was super delicious !! This is a Must try !!!

Candice H

This was my second time at swizzle and I was so disappointed! I went to swizzle a couple years ago, where I got engaged and had the best steak!! I went back for my daughters 20th birthday and was very disappointed ☹️ to start our waitress had no idea what gluten was and my daughter has celiac disease and must eat gluten-free so that was a challenge, figuring out what my daughter could eat. The food was mediocre, and when myself and my family ordered our steaks, medium rare, the waitress immediately, let us know that the chef sometimes has a hard time getting it, medium rare and doesn’t cook it enough and it may need to be cooked more and if we need to send it back, that was OK… Mind you this was when we ordered! This was very discouraging when you’re spending $59 on a steak! Our bill was over $300 and the best thing we had was fries (the crab cakes were decent) Great atmosphere for going and having some drinks after dinner… But that’s about it.

Steph Fuchs

Wow! Amazing place!! The food (the white pizza with jam and prosciutto was to die-for!!), drinks (I had 3 Northern Lights Mocktails with actual glitter!!), and atmosphere were just awesome! This place knows how to serve up a good time with really delicious food! And the owner and staff are super nice! I’ll be back for sure! 10/10!! Oh and they even had gluten-free pizzas!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Lisa Preuett

Found this unique coffee shop this morning after finishing a 5K run! Has a vintage type decor and includes pinball machines in the back! Coffee was excellent and a big bonus was macaroons, which are GLUTEN FREE!

Bailee Raber

Miranda was awesome! Helped me figure out my gluten allergy and was super kind!

keenan lopez

Expect a wait on weekends but very friendly staff and quick service! Great food options for gluten/dairy free.
