Surprise!!
Tonight Sylvia, one of our staff members, surprised her mother with a bouquet of red roses and a dessert with a candle for her birthday. To top it off Sylvia had bought her mother a golden ring with a red stone. She was visibly surprised.
Sylvia’s parents and family came to the States from Russia.
Having Fun with An Engagement Photosession
Robert and Kelly came to visit Louisville last weekend to finalize some last wedding plans. His sister Nina took the opportunity to shoot some fun engagement photos of the two. It was their idea to pose in traditional German clothing: Robert in Lederhosen and Kelly in a Dirndl. Looks like the two are ready for work!!

Baby Lili is here!

The Lady of The Haus
Diggin’ through some old pictures we found one made around 1963 of Annemarie, far left, outside of London Heathrow Airport after she attended a course by BEA (the former British European Airways). She was a travel agent at that time. She said the reason she wasn’t looking in the camera was because she was checking out a pilot walking by. Good to know! But can anyone guess which of her kids resembles her the most? Post your ideas here!
more details…
Just a few more details for you to enjoy. Happy weekend!
It’s all in the details
The statement “It’s all in the details”, is evident when you come to our restaurant. Over the years we have added little pieces of decor giving the restaurant a more personal touch. Most of these items are straight from Germany and some have a very special family history.
Guests often ask us about the teddy bears placed in the lattice of the large house. Some are gifts from friends and some of them have been our toys…way back when.
Stay tuned, there’s more.
About
A Little Gasthaus History
***The Gasthaus German Restaurant is currently closed to in-house dining until further notice***
On December 18th, 1993, after months of remodeling, the Greipel Family, all born and raised in Germany, except the oldest daughter Simone (born in London, England), finally opened the “Gasthaus” at its present location.
Executive chef/owner Michael Greipel together with his kitchen team, create authentic dishes from Old World recipes. Annemarie Greipel, her daughter Nina and the friendly staff are responsible for taking care of the guests, many of them regulars.
Since opening in 1993, the menu has grown from a few items to a large selection. Everything is made from scratch, using only the finest and freshest ingredients. Michael handpicks all his meats, fruits and vegetables daily. Annemarie and her daughter Nina make all the desserts daily, in house from family recipes.
While most of the entrees are ‘a la carte’, special requests are gladly accommodated after a short consultation with the chefs.
Parties and take-out orders are welcomed.
The Gasthaus can seat approximately 60-70 people. The décor, which includes two ‘Chalets,’ is a mixture of family pictures and personal items from the Greipel’s home in Germany (Bochum) and gifts from guests. A family member painted the two murals on the walls. The female servers, several of them from Germany or Europe, wear traditional Dirndl dresses.
The whole restaurant is available for private parties or special occasions. There has even been a real wedding in one of the ‘Chalets’. For many years ‘Wave 3’ TV (NBC affiliate) has broadcast a live show from the restaurant.
The Gasthaus Team has taken part in cooking demonstrations on TV as well as the ‘Home and Garden Show’.
The Gasthaus consistently receives positive reviews from newspapers and magazines. The ‘Guide to the Best Restaurants in America’ has named the Gasthaus ‘The Best German Restaurant’ in Louisville for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
People visit from all over America and the world, which the guest books confirm. The whole Gasthaus Team, many of them having been there since ‘day one,’ take great pride in everything they do.
The Gasthaus is conveniently located on the corner of I-264 (Watterson Express Way), Brownsboro Road and Rudy Lane. The address is 4812 Brownsboro Center, Louisville, Ky 40207. Opening hours are for dinner only,
Tuesdays-Saturdays from 6pm until 9:30pm. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
Reservations are highly recommended, especially for large parties and on weekends! Please call 502-899-7177 to place a reservation.
