People of Louisville (or people who have been there)

If they're downtown and they want to go the path well traveled they can hit 4th Street Alive, all sorts of bars and activity over there (unless it's Christmas Day). PT's is a fine club for the 20 somethings male. The Louisville Slugger factory tour is actually pretty cool and I don't even like sports. Other than that go to 37flood.com and find some sweet tunes to go see.

Louisville kicks ass.

This thread is getting me excited! To go to Louisville, that is. We were planning on staying at the Hyatt on/near 4th St. unless anyone has a better suggestion on where to stay? My GF has been doing most of the research so far...she says the Hyatt looks like it's near where the action is...

I have stayed at the Hyatt a lot and it is nice and in a good location. It is across the street from Fourth Street Live. My advice: Even if you're tempted, don't go to Fourth Street Live at night. It's not so bad for lunch...

You should definitely hit up Lynn's Paradise Cafe for brunch one day. Oh, and call in a reservation. That place is a madhouse, especially on the weekend...

I would steer clear of 4th street live, too much of a dude-bro scene for me at least. If you want a bar scene go to Bardstown Rd. There's some good bars near downtown, Louisville Beer Store and BBC to name a few. 610 Magnolia is a good place for local food and good drink. Any of you all headed to da ville should hit me up and if I'm free I'll do my best to help you live it up!

Looking like I'll be in Louisville for at least a couple of hours on Sunday... going to Indy tomorrow for the Colts-Jets game and will probably stay up there until Sunday morning. My cousin and I need to pick some stuff up for his father's girlfriend in Louisville so hopefully we'll explore for a little.

AMightyCaporal · Jan 09, 2011, 09:29 AM

Hi guys, so we are looking for a great place to grab lunch in Louisville today. Any ideas of where to go? My cousin isn't as adventurous with food as I am and we are both pretty broke so we're looking for something fairly inexpensive. Also, my cousin is in a wheelchair that just had new batteries installed but the battery meter says they are less than half full of power (we aren't sure the meter is working) but we want to be on the safe side so any place that's not too far off the beaten path and handicapped accessible is needed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

AMightyCaporal · Jan 09, 2011, 10:42 AM

headed out now, looks like we'll be headed to Lynn's Paradise Cafe for lunch

AMightyCaporal · Jan 09, 2011, 04:06 PM

Well it was a successful trip to Lynn's Paradise, very fun place and the food was good- we brought home a bunch of leftovers! Our waitress was this very sweet and pretty girl named Nicki who looked crazy familiar to me but I couldn't place it. I wanted to ask her but felt like it totally would come on as a pick up line so I decided against it. Thanks to all those who gave suggestions- maybe next time I get in the area it'll be warmer and I'll have time to explore and hit a bar or something.

Many thanks!

Nicole Atkins maybe? Was she able to carry 7 plates at once?
I keed I keed. Hey Cap!

ZINGA! What's up Ms. Pennylane?

Hawkeye · Feb 02, 2011, 02:04 PM

Heading to Louisville this Friday night-early Sunday...

Planning on eating at one of the places mentioned above, walking up Bardstown road, hitting up EarXtacy, and maybe trying to find an art gallery (Kathleen Lolley?). Anyone know of any good gigs in town this weekend, or any other suggestions? I think our hotel is near 4th St. Live...avoid that or go? Was thinking we might check out 4th St. Live on Friday night...we won't get into town until 10 or so, it's right near the hotel, and we'll have to be in bed by midnight or shortly after. Saturday night, we'll have most of the day and all night to explore the city. Gotta be back to Ohio early Sunday to catch the Super Bowl!

You could go down to the church but I hear security's pretty tight these days.

i have no plans on going down and trying to be a douche to the boys, but out of curiosity what church is it? based on the pictures I feel like I've been there (which is odd because im not a religious man) but I can't put a pin on it.

edit: if its like outskirts of town or basically not downtown or highlands area then I have not been there. its reminding me a church that i've maybe been in that has a school or preschool or something. and I dont actually expect you to tell me, so i'll ask again when the record is released

First Evangelical Church on the corner of Breckinridge and Barrett. I don't believe they have church services there anymore. Don't know when they stopped though.

The WHY Louisville store has some Lolley stuff for sale. Kopilot on Bonnycastle ought to as well. No great gigs this weekend unfortunately. Scott Carney has a gig this weekend, but that's about it. You caught us on a slow weekend. If you wanna grab a pint let me know.
