Description: The legacy of Louisvillian and famed baseball player, Pete Browning, lives on at the restaurant bearing his name at Slugger Field in downtown Louisville. An on-site brewery sets this eatery apart from your run-of-the-mill ballpark eatery, however, and brewmasters concoct an ever-changing variety of beers and ales running the gamut from light to dark. Famed restaurateur Anoosh Shariat has designed a menu that brings Bluegrass flair to a classic pub setting, paying homage to America’s pastime with an assortment of salads, sandwiches, appetizers, and hearty entrees that make this menu a home run. Fried green tomatoes, mussels steamed in light beer with smoked bacon and bleu cheese crumbles, bison short ribs, and beer-battered fish and chips are just some of the comfort-food finds in the lineup.
