BBC St. Matthews Grand Re-Opening!

Hi Everyone, I okayed this with Robin before I posted

BBC St. Matthews will have its Grand Re-Opening on Monday January 14th!! We have been closed for a week but for many of our regular customers, it has seemed much longer!!! Without further ado, we welcome you all to a New and Improved BBC! We will be rolling out a new menu on Monday as well. The new menu will include some old favorites----Brewhouse Nachos, Shepherds Pie and our much requested beer mustard. The menu will also have a Hot Bacon and Spinach Salad, a Portabello Burger, a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich and Fried Polenta. We are very excited to unveil the new and improved BBC to you all.

I would like to personally invite all of you forumites to come and enjoy our new BBC and let me know about your experience--from the service to the food. The more knowledge we have about each individual experience, the better equiped we are to provide a wonderful dining and drinking experience. So please come and join us this month as we celebrate a new era for BBC!!!


If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to PM me!

Thanks again Robin for letting me post this!! I love this forum!

Cheers,
Becca

glad to hear it

i've always loved the BBC on Shelbyville

shawn

Becca, that's awesome to hear! I assume there was renovation to the interior. Can you leek some details about it?

That's really exciting news! I'll be making my way over as soon as possible

Hey Jackie,

Of course I can leak a few details for you!! There is a huge projection tv in the dining room by the stage. The main bar has some new construction behind the bar. As a bartender, I am thrilled about those renovations. The changes behind the bar are hard to describe but the look is wonderful. I can't wait until I get to work back there on Tuesday! Ummm...the floors have been redone, everything has been repainted and lots of new decor has been added to spruce of the place. I went in today and was incredibly excited about how it looked. I've worked there for so long that it is very much my home away from home. I feel kind of like the folks on Extreme Home Makeover. Okay, its not that extreme but it is very exciting. I guess the overwhelming feeling going in was clean and spacious and very inviting!

Its so good to hear from you Jackie!

Cheers,
Becca

Yes......Dave is in the BBC house! We have updated the menu, cleaned up a touch, and are now rolling out some cool stuff! Best news is I don't have to put in 80 hours a week and I get paid too.........WOW! (and I still get to drink great beer...can't beat that!)

Hey, Becca,

BBC St. Matthews looks jolly well improved!

Before and after remodeling photos.

I hope to see you at lunch today and sample David Clancy's new menu.

I trust you let Dave bring his cardboard box home inside near the indoor plumbing.
The bathrooms were not removed during remodeling, right?

Today I will be on a reconnaissance mission for the "drunk librul" group that meets there every Thursday night.
(Last week, we "had" to go to Rich O's. Don't "make" us do that "again" )

Also, I want to make sure my mug is not cracked (Unlike some of the patrons there.)

Oh, it is Wort Hog Tuesday today as well. Coincidence?

Cheers, and support the local brewpubs!

hooray for BBC and Clancy

Thanks Everyone for the comments! Hank--I was not there for lunch today--school duties--but I will be there Thursday night! By the way, I think Dave is awesome too!!

Cheers!
Becca

Ooh Dave, are you bringing back the great fish sandwich that you had at BNA? that was fab! and so were the waffle fries. yum.

Yes and no! I can't use Roger's elector for the fish sandwich (Kentucky is wacky about interstate distribution) but the batter derived from BBC APA works just fine! Lot's of changes in store and though some changes may appear subtle it will all be great in the end!! (those waffle fries might take a while but I'll work on it) Thank's for the input!-Dave

As a long time lurker on this board, and any even longer time BBC patron, we just got back from BBC.
Here are our grades. (Hey, I'm a teacher, so what do you expect?)

Child's Grilled Cheese - A+ as good as ever (grade from my 8 year old son)

Polenta Sticks(?) - A for the polenta but A+ with the marinara

Old St. Matthews Ale - A (had to have two)

Tilapia - A+ for the fish, B for the vegetables (they tasted as they had been cooked the same amount of time, which left taste uneven.)

Cajun Pasta - A for the pasta (great vegetables really set it apart) B for the chicken strips (I really didn't think they would be battered chicken strips. It really didn't work with the pasta.)

Service - E for eccentric. (It wasn't bad, however, it was good.)

Atmosphere - A+ All the upgrades were great. However, my son did give it an A- because he couldn't see the kitchen anymore but he was happy the toys were still on the stage.

As anyone who has been a long time patron of BBC knows, BBC has at times struggled getting the quality of beer, food and service balanced. However on this visit, it seemed that the balance has been reached.

Congratulations to everyone!
