Reviews of 643 Sports Bar (Restaurant)

David Hill

Great food, atmosphere and music venue.

Thagmar85

The ambiance within this classy sports bar is fantastic. Delicious food, plenty of screens for various sports to watch, a nice stage for live music was at the back of the establishment. The staff was pleasant and professional. A very nice place to go for a variety of occasions.

Codi Huston

VERY nice restaurant. The live music is pretty good. The food is a step up mediocre in my opinion, but not SUPER amazing. Maybe I'll give it another try. I will admit that their Sunday breakfast menu is pretty good.

mike babb

For as fancy as the place looked I expected better . . . One bartender who was covering two bars. Food just ok. Prices matched the decor and not the service. Not what I had in mind when I hit the door.

Gary Loveless

Great Cheese Burger and fellowship with my son and 2 grandsons after tour of WKU campus and visit grandson's ( freshman at WKU) dorm.

Marianne

Great food, great beer, great atmosphere.

Marcia Isenberg

I like the location of this bar/restaurant and from the looks of the menu it offers good food. On my last visit the service at the bar was not stellar and it was in the afternoon so not terribly busy. I will give it another try though for sure

Meredith Warthan

Loved the place.

KaTrinia Broyles

Great food and entertainment!

Marty Travis

Great wings and the fries were awesome!

Margaret Jolly

While our server was doing his best, the food was tasteless and the margarita didnt taste like one at all. This place is consistently terrible. It is a shame that after re-opening, there was no change in serving time ( kitchen not the waiter) or the quality of what the serve.

Erica Schleimer

Phenomonal smoked wings!! Best I've ever had.

michal juett

Poorly staffed for the crowd with multiple events going on downtown. Took me nearly 40 minutes to order. Food and service definitely not worth it. Mine and my sons 1st time to eat there. We won't be back.

Aimee Lehmann

Good live music, very friendly staff. The food was good just slow service.

Kim Flanary

Good food and drinks!!

Val Dodd

Great food and fun entertainment.

Amanda Dettman

2 stars because the food was good. Service is always terrible. We have had horrible service 100% of the time(our 5th try but we are done). Waited 10 minutes for a server to acknowledge us. Then ordered drinks and waited 5 more to get them, we got them only because we went to the bar and got them ourselves. Offered us a free dessert, which we don't eat. Resuturant was NOT busy whatsoever.

Chad Kitchens

The food is terrific. Would have given 5 stars but the service was off to a slow start at the beginning then it got better.

Christopher Hines

Went for Seckond Chaynce service and food were great would recommend

Susan Miller

Great food and wonderful service. Good menu variety.

DeadAudio Blog

Some great food and live music in this aptly baseball theme named restaurant next to the Bowling Green Hot Rods park. Friendly bartenders as well as a serve yourself beer wall that allows you to sample multiple beers before deciding which one meets your taste. Multiple TV's and a big stage for live performances.

Jessie Smith

The atmosphere is really awesome! We sat at the bar and our bartender was super attentive and nice. The food was great. Had the chicken part, pizza, Stella and a bud light! We will be back:)

Shawn Pease

Great food and drinks love this place

In The Moment Photo’s

So the restaurant was literally half full, and there was an HOUR, no exaggeration, an hour wait. There reason being, to keep their kitchen from getting behind. Which is normal for restaurants to do but not when there are literally half of the seats open

Judy Wessels

Went in from a tour of city and treasure for golf touney. Charged 2.50 for the stamp. Never will return not recommend.

Larry Lowe

Great wings and good service!

Marquitta Boards

The food is okay. They need to work on their mixed drinks. I've tried a few and none of them are good to me so I stick with the bottled drinks.

Josh Abner

I enjoy the food it's always really good. The service on the other hand could use some improvement. Also the food is great & hot but compared to other restaurants the speed it comes out is VERY slow.

Melvin Morrison

Hadn't been there for 2 years. Menu is exactly the same. Very little selection. Wait staff is slow and apparently doesn't hear well. Some of that is Management's fault. When Louisville is playing Ky in basketball common sense would say to have more than two people waiting tables.

Tyler Murphy

The sekcond chaynce concert was amazing

Stacey Whitmore

I love this place! I enjoy going in here and having them make up a drink for me every now and then according to my current mood, and it is always amazing! Thank you!

Dallas Fancher

Try all the sliders. Do it! Pretty awesome live music there all the time.

Jennifer Longworth

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Love being served by Jillian or Chase. :-)

Rick Cardwell

Delicious food great service and relaxed environment.

Kristine Hopkins

Horrible venue to see a performer show was supposed to start at 8 they callously refused entrance to their establishment had customers waiting in line outside til after 930 show didn't start til after 1030... reason? Venue double booked date.... horrible service

Daniel Liddle

The service is great and there are lots of different food options. Trivia on Wednesday night is also the best in town.

Kalisha Alsbury

Great food and wonderful service. Will be returning

Jelani Berry

Did not expect this is BG, KY. I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, large TV, many beers on tap (including the self-serve room. Yes, self-serve!) and delicious good. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had a great time! It also has cornhole out front and is right next to the baseball stadium.

Sofia T-Hester

Salads are amazing

Tony Julius

Great location, next to the ballpark, and phenomenal food. I highly recommend the sliders and the BBQ sampler. NOTE: the dry rub is a little spicy but worth it. During the season you absolutely have to make this a must stop

Nick Hancock

Service was slow, did not get half our order. Great place to have drinks but would look elsewhere for food.

Ember Animus

The atmosphere was quite nice and the food was delicious - even if a smidge pricey

Teneka Stafford

Great place! The food was good and the service was awesome! Definitely recommend!

Shawn Arnett

The food is really good! It is pricey for sports bar. $$$$ We love eating here for the atmosphere, great for kids.

Samuel Hartford

Fast service! Great to see the owner mingling. Awesome to talk about the venue with him. Love it!!!

Guy Priddy

Great food and atmosphere! Our server Trevor was phenomenal!

Kristi Wegener

Best wings I have ever had in my life - and I'm a wing lover.

sherri west

Best food!! ' always fresh and made to order!!

Mark Hohlbein

Our young waitress did a fantastic job and the food was good. As for the management, they would not have a future at the establishment if it was mine! The young lady tried to get a card activated for me to sample the automated beer taps for TWO hours and profusely apologized. No management came to speak to our party of 20 in their private room to offer any apologies or assistance. Will not be giving 643 another visit that's for sure....

Marvin Claywell

Food was good so was some of the service not all of it but some.

Kelly Kassor

Kelan rocks the Moscow Mule! The food was hot good and we loved the specials. They were also helpful with places to try as we were from out of town. Will come back for next eclispe!

Colin Shotts

You have to stop in and ask for Joe Brazell, the master behind the bar at 643. Craft cocktails you'll only find at the restaurant, along with daily specials and a great beer wall. Fill a card with cash and try all the beers you want, which rotate. Join the Suds Club. Live music and entertainment some nights. Chicken & Waffles.

Suzanne Fedorka

Amazing, creative food, and an extensive beer and cider list. Highly capable service with the ability to deftly handle food allergies.

Mallory Morrison

Server Angie was awesome. The hostess didn't bring us a drink menu or specials menu.

Steve Coulup

Great place, great bartenders. Food is always good. All day brunch on Sundays!!

Chris Nagle

Bild your own burgers! Out of this world good. Several beer options on tap ... servers where great but who gives a flip with food so good

Jerry Collins

Very costly for horrible food and service that you get

Mark Ashby

Tonight we sat at the bar. It was great. Best bloody Mary in Bowling Green.

Steve Eide

Best bar in BG. Excellent bar setup, service and food. The bar manager Joe is the man. He is a true old school bartender... a lost skill.

Bryce Crawford

One of my favorite places to eat in Bowling Green. The restaurant has a great location and aesthetic. The food is very good and features a variety of menu items that everybody will like.

brad Galloway

Food was decent service was mediocre

Rosemary Gardenbrock

Great food!! Fun atmosphere!!! Outside seating - perfect for the coming autumn nights!!

Jeff Page

Good atmosphere n good service...stadium fries awesome!! Will go back!!

Jeff Risdon

Really nice sports bar, nachos and pizza had real flavor and not just some generic offering. Cornbread waffles were good. Decent beer list.

Keith Fields

Food great, the band not so much

Cory Cooper

Always a great place to watch some Nashville Predators hockey in BG! Staff is courteous and food is really worth checking out, especially when they have a special for the night.

Adam

very enjoyable. live music, friendly staff, fun times. Ignore the few people that wanted to be waited on hand and foot. This is a bar, they are busy. If you don't get a drink within a minute, it doesn't warrant a one star review guys. People need to learn how to review objectively. 1 star indicates it was literally one of the worst times you've ever had. That is simply rediculous people. If you were displeased by a certain element, take off a star. Some reviews indicate they liked everything but a certain part. It is not an all or nothing system. Review appropriately. And no, I'm not sponsored, check my other reviews, they are honest. 5 stars for a sublime experience

Ninja Rob

Great food and great atmosphere. Great service too.

Mark X

Good selection of beers with a super convenient location for going to a Hotrods game.

Jeffrey Bidwell

First time there good food and service. No complaints.

72 luvbug

Good food and service.

Shelley Bunyard

Excellent food, great pricing and an excellent staff!

Michael Harrison

Big TVs all around the place so you can surely see the sporting event you want wherever you're sitting. Nice selection of food for a sports bar. Lots of beers and other alcoholic beverages, but still a good place for families. Convenient location if you're doing anything in downtown Bowling Green.

Nathan Monroe

Try the chicken and waffles love it

Wes Dallas

No matter if anything is happening or not they do not have it together

Candy Walker

Great place to chill lax and enjoy the food!

Joshua Rowe

Amazing experience in this place along with good management. And the kitchen staff holds their own on a busy night. And those cute twins in the kitchen they call the Rowe twins. I always make sure to ask my that my food be prepared by Rowe

Connie Skropka

Always Top Notch

Aqua Graves

The staff and the food were amazing.

Noland Aull

Phenomenal atmosphere! The bar is incredibly well stocked and the entire venue is incredibly clean and cozy. It is tucked away in a part of town that carries an authentic southern charm. I strongly recommend this facility, and commend the quick and excellent service.

Holly Insko

I have eaten here 3 times while attending strongman competitions. All 3 times at least a few in our party have had an issue. Tonight first off they were out of several beer choices. Out of smoked wings. Asked for more water never received. After reordering our meal my chicken breast was not done had to send it back. The food is always great when we finally receive it. I know we were part of a large group and waiting is necessary but almost 2 hours excessive. Management needs to step up their game and staff according to occupancy expectations. They knew our group was coming also party room was booked full and a UK game on all at the same time. Wish they would find a different place for the award ceremonies.

Dale Sturgill

Great food and prices! Service was.attentive!

Jeff Dye

Scrumptious food. Noce sports bar atmosphere. Spacious areas for seating so you aren't on tip of others. Attention from staff was good.

derio little

Went here with some buddies one Friday night while we were in town. The place was filled and lively. We sat at the bar and ordered our food. Most of us got chicken. It took a long time for it to come out and some of us had burnt chicken. The waiter was nice and attentive but I will probably choose another spot to dine at the next time I'm in town there.

Brittinnie A

Absolutely love this place. Always get greeted by smiling faces, the wait staff is excellent, and even when I get carryout/delivery everything is made to perfection! Thanks guys!

Mike S

Under staffed... Waited longer than the 20 minutes I was told the wait would be. Yet there were empty, & unbussed tables that we could have been seated at. Finally left,. Sure the wait for food would have been longer as well.

Brock Dorsey

Great place!

Brian Packard

Good beer selections, and decent pub appetizers. They also have a stage for performances and a handful of TV's for watching sports, but I wish their food offerings were a bit better quality than they are.

ladysman21751

I went there 2 months ago. There were only 4 waiters in there. It took 45 minutes to 1 hour to get our food and there wasn't many in there, only 2 other tables were full. The waiter didn't put my order in, so I told him to get the manager. The manager apologized and asked if he could fix it, but I told him that the service was awful and I left and didn't have to pay. Why does everyone think the service is good, it's not. The staff needs to get it together or this place will have to shut down. We will never go here again.

Rachel Hines

Really love the variety they have on their menu. Very fun atmosphere and waiters are very friendly and outgoing. Clean and pristine bathrooms every time I go.

Faye Chestnut

Attentive service. Excellent food. Like the atmosphere. Enjoyable experience.

William Remington

The people real , the experience rewarding. Would highly recommend to those who enjoy being catered to. Kudos

Korey Jaynes

Always a great time at 643, great people and great food. We come almost every week!

Steve Mangold

Great smoked wings, Arguably the best in town!

Peyton Hibdon

We were very pleased with everything ordered. Great atmosphere and service.

Patricia Sawyer

Food and service are always good. The menu offers some unique twists on favorites, along with signature items.

Christian Copeland

Really good food and decent prices

rachel williams

Service was great! Excellent waitress, who was also very knowledgeable of the menu. Food was fresh and handmade not frozen! Enjoyed it very much! We ate ate lunch time. Will be back!

Mason Miller

Good service with great servers

Simeon Brace

Slow service even on a low volume night. Prices were high but it's normal for the proximity to the ball park. Food and atmosphere was good.

Doug C K Belanger

This is my favorite restaurant in town hands down. Love the atmosphere and food.

Jim Howell

Friendly service. Good food. Odd beer selection. If you like to try beers you never heard of, it's ok. If you want something you are familiar with, forget it. They will bring you samples. Music too loud. Pricey.

Patrick Alicie

Good food. Good atmosphere. Overall a nice dining experience.

Andrew Lynch

Beer list and liquor list is good. Adjacent to a Single A ballpark. Bar is nice but the place has a slightly unimaginative feel to it like it's teing to appeal to everyone without appealing to anyone.

David Ciochetty

New Years Eve, a very busy time. They were adequately staffed and had three accessory bars set up to anticipate the added volume.

Craig Marshall

One of my favorite spots to grab lunch and a cocktail! The servers are all very nice, and food comes out on time and delicious. Vegetarian friendly!

Antonio Bandaries

Went on the weekend so not sure when happy hour is. Did not know about the tap tasting until I was reading reviews????

Amy Meece

Wednesday night trivia is great there!

Adelina Bosnjakovic

the service here is awful. the waiters are awfully slow. we've been here for almost 2 hours and still haven't got our food... we barely even got our drinks without asking.

Emily Danks

good beers and food, I always enjoy my time here

Owen Proteau

Great beer menu with good prices. Big fan of their fried brat corn dogs and burgers. Always great service as well.

Phyllis Coleman

Our group had a great time here and there food was great!!!!

Austin Sterchi

Build your own burger and grab a cold beer!

Roger Williams

Just a quality sports bar! Great before the Hot Rods....needs to stay open past 10:00 PM for God's sake!!

Charles Cavalier

Horrible service, didn’t put in an order and then came back once another table ordered to tell us they were out of what we ordered. Literally here now, still waiting for a water refill, go anywhere around except for here. Lack of servers or maybe caring.

Doug Statum

Good beer selection, good food, great service. And the bartenders love talking about religion and politics!

Marilyn Fournier

Food was very good. Did like the brand on the top of the bun.

Curt Bertelsen

Best food

Jon Pierce

I think he said his name was Kelly but anyways my server was amazing no doubt. Made me feel welcomed and didn't rush me to order. The negative reviews are lies this place rocks!

Daddy-O Green

Great beer selection-when they aren't out of a favorite (happened more than once). Some really tasty menu items (insert previous comment). And consistently S L O W yet courteous service....the next time will be the third strike and then they will be out...of my Bowling Green restaurant options...

Edward Martin

Not really a spots bar. Just looks like one. Can't get an MLB game in the afternoon. Just a bunch of ESPN channels.

Jb Jmb

Good food, mostly good service... Nice wide variety of food choices as well as choices of beers!

mike jordan

Really good food. Great service and a great selection of drinks.

Leigh Beene

It was great a friendly love yje atmosphere and the people plus works whete on point with everything ill be back for sure with friends

Kim Wright

Trivia night! Food is pretty good but its a certain kind of taste. There is a beer wall tjat pours very fast and leaves a large head on almost all beers. Service is slow from the kitchen but its not been cold or soggy from sitting under a heat lamp.

Mitch Cole

Pretty average. Not bad, not great.

Tonya Anderson

Rockin Music!! Great Service!!!!

Rutuja Chinchankar

Must try is the hummus appetizer

Eric Strickland

This is the worse restaurant that I've ever been in. I was told that the majority of the items are not available That's on the menu. the only choice was chicken fingers fries maybe salad maybe your cheeseburger probably kids meal excetera excetera. Here's the kicker I've been charged between me and my wife $35 and something with a 18% gratuity let me mind you that they have charged me per item on my plate that's like a dollar per finger ain't that crazy, my other relatives they ordered for their grandkids and ordered a cheeseburger they charged them for the pickle they charged them for the bun seriously. I won't be back!!!

Western Kentucky Chiropractic Center

Great food and service! Chris the bartender is awesome! Very friendly and welcoming!

Kimberly Wyatt

Went for a concert was going to eat and grab a drink before ... told us it would be a 35 min wait.... we decided not to but say outside at a close by bench ... over an hour 6 outside tables were dirty... noone came out to clean them off but yet noone could be seated.... poor customer service and loss of buisness. ..

Trina Buchanan

Went on the 4th of July 2019, great food and great fireworks!!!

Joseph Zydel Joseph Zydel

Very good food, excellent service and atmosphere.

Blake Blackburn

I like to go to 643 for the diverse beer selection and the appetizers. I highly recommend the buffalo chicken dip! 643 is perfect for an evening out or if you're trying to catch your team play. The beer wall in the back is also a cool feature.

Lucas Gray

Very loud and small portions. Good food, but not really worth it unless your just wanting the very loud bar environment.

Everett Taylor

Great food and a great atmosphere. Always get the buffalo chicken dip when I go And it is amazing. Never had a bad experience here and the beer selection is great too. Definitely recommend

Kyle O'Donnell

Tons of sports TVs, good upper-middle tier food, and one phenomenal bartender. Pros: The prices here are excellent and the bar food is well made. If you like thin crust, their pizzas are great. The Greek salad with salmon and is my personal favorite. Over the past few months, they have been doing limited run food or drinks for each month to add something new to the menu. If you like trivia, they do that on Wednesday nights. One of the bartenders, a tall, thin, and enthusiastic fellow with tattoos, is one of the best in town. About half the time he is there, and always knocks it out of the park. I asked if he could make a spicy bloody marry with fresh jalapenos, pictured below. He's engaging, knowledgeable and strives to exceed expectations, which is rare at this price point. Overall, these points outweigh the negatives for me, which I why I gave them 5 stars. Cons: This place was built to be a big bar. They do well on high traffic nights and special events when they know they need to have all hands on deck. It also does well with skeleton crew during off peak times. However, they genuinely struggle in that middle demand section, where a spike in demand backlogs the kitchen or bar. With two sides to the bar and sometimes only one bartender on staff, they may not even be visible half the time. Some of the bar tenders are transactional and impersonal. The bourbon menu was out of date, and seems to have been forgotten about by management. Pro or con: the self service taps in the event room. I went to a place in North Carolina that had these. If you have an event or want to drink several glasses, this is a great thing to try. They'll load money onto what is basically an RFID gift card, then the taps deduct from your card's balance with each pour. This is really fun if you have a large group, want to try a partial pour of a beer, or prefer self service. Most people don't use them. If getting your card set up or reactivated was more frictionless, I would put it in the pro category. I sincerely hope you found this review helpful and would give it a like.

Jr Parson

Been here 2 times, both times food was perfect and they have a large selection of bourbon with a few rare bourbons priced right.

William Cossa

Got the BBQ sampler. The ribs and wings were inedible. Brisket was pretty good

Joshua herrington

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food, prices were pretty good as well.

Darrell Buchanan

Stadium fries were awesome!!! Fireworks were great as well. We watched them from our table.

Zella Monroe

One of the best restaurants in BG. Always top quality & cooked fresh. I eat the Greek salad every week for lunch. The burger is great too!!

rb20s13coupe

Always have great service. The bartenders are the best.

Katelyn Osborne

They have a good selection of bar food and some healthier choices. My favorite thing on the menu is The Hipster sandwich with sweet potato fries. I have also had the chicken with waffles which is good, too.

Brandon Kitchens

The food was great as usual, but the service was poor as it typically has been. Our waiter was great, but they were obviously understaffed. And this is not the first time we have had that experience.

Victoria Lane

horrible service! We waited for our food for over an hour, had to get our own napkins. Ask repeatedly for drinks. The was almost empty too, no excuse really.

Tressa Duvall

Good service, decent food.

Kaitlin Chandler

Great atmosphere! I ordered bbq, and it was a bit spicy for my taste. The fries are the best in town!!

Alhumaidi ALshammari

I like this place I really had fun at it

Dustin Rediess

Service can be slow but the food and drinks are good.

Rick Trapp

Great service, awesome food and good live music!

Ashley Pendley

Burgers are great, wings are amazing, pizza is good also. Service is great at the bar!

Arthur Edwards

Great atmosphere, especially the outdoor part. Definitely will be back.

Robert l. Stehle Jr.

Awesome wings

Rhonda Rounds

Great service, good selection, good food.

Gwen Son

Came here with kids for lunch. Tried to order twice only to be told they were out of what we wanted both times. Finally just asked the waitress, "Can you just tell me everything you are out of? They were out of sirloin, chicken wings, salmon, chicken cor don blue, fries, and it seems like she may have mentioned a few other things. Had sat there at least 25 minutes and still not figured out anything we could order so just asked her for the check for our drinks. Cost around six bucks and we got two to go cups for drinks. Waitress wasn't very friendly either and seemd slow and confused.

Teddy Baird

Good food and good service. Go BG Hot Rods!!!

Karen Litten

Visited twice in the last week and both times were mediocre food and terrible service. 30 minutes for a beer and had to get the manager to go back and get it. Don't waste your time.
