THE STORY
BEHIND
THE 'LOO

About us

The name and logo of our restaurant was inspired by Waterloo Records, an independent and 'underground' record store in Austin founded by owner Josh Karp's father, Louis. Josh followed in his father's entrepreneurial footsteps by creating a neighborhood gathering place featuring great food, drinks and music, as well as extraordinary and personable customer service.

Waterloo has led the evolution of downtown Louisville, most recently with its move from its original tiny 'hole-in-the-wall' location to its current home two doors down and the addition of Atman Hanel to the owner team. With its rooftop patio, vibrant mural and live music, Waterloo is a colorful and lively fixture of Main Street. Come on in! You'll love our selection of hand-crafted and innovative cocktails, beers on tap and more, as well as our diverse, Texas-inspired menu featuring local, natural and organic ingredients.
