TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hey kiddos, I'm going to visit some family in Louisville in July and it's been about 12 years since I've been back that way. Anything I need to check out? I was thinking about maybe heading out to some of the distilleries south of Louisville one day I'm there, and I forgot that Ear X-tacy closed back in '11. What sort of great stuff is happening out that way? (Not super interested in 4th street though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henster311 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I recently just went there to photograph a wedding. My friends got married at Buffalo Trace, which was reeeeally cool. My buddy is huge into bourbon and works for Rabbit Hole. so it was a big deal for them to have the wedding at the distillery. That was my first time ever in KY. I spent two days down at the Red River Gorge which was amazing if you wanna hike / camp / swim, bit of a drive from louisville though. thats all i got.

That's awesome! I may make it down to Bardstown to see a distillery or two, but I'm only in town for a few days, mostly to see my grandma, so I won't be doing any camping or hiking unfortunately :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texan4life Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Louisville Slugger museum and factory interest you? I've never been but that's the first thought that came to my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throughbeingcruel Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Guestroom Records is where it's at now. Incredible selection. If you're into good pizza, Mellow Mushroom on Bardstown is fucking fantastic. I believe it's a chain but I've never seen another one. Gourmet ingredients and tons of good beers and ciders. If you want some local New York style pie, Spinelli's is pretty alright for slice pie, and they'll probably have a good show happening as well. Hope you enjoy Louisville. It's my favorite place I've been, besides Seattle. mucusoffmybrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I've been back but I was born in New Albany, so we'd go across the river relatively often as a kid, and I started out going to college at U of L until I dropped out. These are exactly the type of recommendations I was looking for though. throughbeingcruel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gourmet ingredients and tons of good beers and ciders. Mellow Mushroom is a chain started in Athens, Georgia. They're quite prevalent in the south, specifically college towns, but have grown a decent ways. I know there's one in Iowa City now as well. I personally love the chain, I've yet to have a sub par bite at any of their locations. throughbeingcruel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I've been disappointed in the record stores since Ear X-Tacy left years ago, but the pork chop at Jack Fry's is one of my favorite meals on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvham Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Bumping this as I'll be in Louisville in September...does anyone have any advice on bourbon tasting on the Eastern part of the trail? Right now we're pretty much thinking Buffalo Trace, lunch at the BBQ spot there, Woodford Reserve, then Four Roses. BUT I hear Four Roses has some construction going on so we are considering swapping it out and doing Wild Turkey as our last stop instead. Oh, and coincidentally we have a reservation at MilkWood! Thinking about also going to the Garage for dinner on our second night in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Is Please & Thank You still open? It was a combination record store/coffee shop, which worked out perfectly when my wife and I visited, as I love records and she loves coffee. Found a copy of the Hippos' Heads Are Gonna Roll on cassette for like $2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianxvii Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) My family and I are going to Louisville this coming December 28 to visit our relatives there. Right now I'm adjusting my Fabtech lift kit and still waiting for new set of tires to arrive. Edited December 15, 2017 by gianxvii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
