Described as a “Seafood Paradise,” Brendon’s Catch 23 has established itself as a Chef-driven premier restaurant destination for the best the ocean has to offer.

Our downtown location was one of the first restaurants to open as part of Louisville’s Main Street revitalization efforts. It is a staple for business lunches and walking distance to many attractions in Louisville. People headed out for a concert at the KFC Yum Center or play at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts visit Bristol Bar & Grille downtown for dinner before or drinks after. Guests from out of town visiting nearby museums like the Frazier Museum, Louisville Slugger, Muhammad Ali Center or the Kentucky Science Center stop by to get a true taste of Kentucky’s Southern hospitality.

Welcome to Buck’s, we hope that any time you come in is a chance for us to make it special.
When Buck started the restaurant in 1992, he wanted to create an experience for our guests that they would never forget. He had always admired “moon gardens,” using that as his inspiration, he painted the walls dark hunter green, added lots of candles and filled the restaurant with white flowers. Put that together with a fine continental menu, artfully mismatched china and nightly live piano music by Reggie Watkins and Buck’s Restaurant was born.
Buck’s is in the heart of Old Louisville and located in the historic Mayflower building which was built in 1926. We are well known as the place to be for special occasions, birthdays and anniversaries. We love to do parties of any kind, from rehearsal dinners to business meetings and have private rooms for almost any sized group.
We are a proud member of the Urban Bourbon Trail and take pride in serving Kentucky Proud ingredients.
