LEO's Eats with Louisville HotBytes.com(By Guest Critic Kevin Gibson)
Browning's is back. The brewpub in Slugger Field, with its upscale sister restaurant Park Place on Main, had abruptly closed back in October. Although Browning's continued brewing craft beer for outside sales, Louisville Bats fans were left high and dry.
Now Chef Anoosh Shariat, backed by investors, has put up nearly a half-million dollars to revamp the restaurant and revise its menu. Browning's reopened May 12. The Park Place space is available for private parties.
There's little change inside the eatery or on the sidewalk patio facing East Main Street. The menu remains on the upscale-casual side, with items ranging from $6 to $16 and featuring many old favorites such as pub wings, "black and white" hummus and a Hot Brown. New additions include a salsa-and-guacamole appetizer, fried macaroni and cheese, a grilled Portobello mushroom sandwich and Southwest chicken pasta.
Brian Reymiller is back as brewmaster. He returns Browning's classics like She-Devil IPA and Hildegard Helles to the pub. Other favorites will be served in rotation.
