Pat's Steak House Description:
The classic, mid-twentieth-century Louisville atmosphere here is heightened by the sweet aroma of bourbon wafting from the bar just inside the entrance to this cozy wood-paneled restaurant. The décor is a mix of Louisville horseracing memorabilia and Irish bric-a-brac. If you have the appetite of a T-rex, take note of the 32-ounce porterhouse T-bone. Your green-jacketed waiter will not bat an eye if you prefer to drink one of Pat's well crafted, Woodford Reserve Manhattans with dinner instead of wine. (But the wine list has improved, with more and better selections.) Unlike so many other upscale steakhouses, salads and sides (get the baked potato and the baby limas) are included in the price of the entrée. Iceberg-based salads would be dull unless dressed with the house-made blue cheese or Thousand Island dressings. These are so good that patrons can often be seen dipping crackers into dressing and not bothering with the greens. If you aren't in a mood for red meat, try the fried chicken. If you can't decide, order a steak and have your companion order the topnotch fried chicken livers. This is a cash-only spot, but the management has thoughtfully installed an ATM by the door.
