And they have a lot of fun nights too- hula night, i.e. The bar is not only long but also wide and comfy, but there are some tables for antisocials who want to be alone with their dates. The owner also owns Smashburger, and you can order from there and have it brought over. Will they make an alcoholic milkshake? I don't know, but I would never want to see one lurching around outside an AA meeting.

The bourbon options are vast and the local beer offerings on tap are fantastic. The cocktail I got was tasty, but also felt like it needed straining with all the small ice chips still in it...not annoying enough to complain about it, but certainly something that was noticed. I am already looking forward to coming back soon for a cool place to sit and drink while I read a book.

It's good to know that even 6 years ago I liked Old Town…read more But now....I LOVE Old Town! 5 stars!! I think the biggest difference now is that I drink beer. Back when I wrote my first review, in the good, old days of 2012, I lived on the same street as Old Town and it was easy to get to and had wine that I liked in my preferred price range (so...sweet, white and cheap...just like me! Hey-ooo! :-P) Now, I will regularly go out of my way to make a stop at Old Town. And these days it is primarily for their top notch beer selection! I am always prepared for the cold when I visit Old Town now, because I know I am going to be perusing the beer cave for quite some time. They rank among the top four places in Louisville I excitedly go to, in order to explore special, hard to find, interesting, sought after beer. Even if I am not looking for something specific, I am going to find something I already like if not something that piques my interest enough to try! The biggest plus of a visit to Old Town, aside from the friendly and helpful staff, is that you can buy just about all the beer options as SINGLES. This is huge. This changed my beer-drinking life. I have been able to try so many more beers because of this. When you aren't roped in to buying a four (or more) pack and the beer is 'fancy' and costs $5 or more per beer....doors suddenly open up! Old Town is in the middle of the Highlands, so parking can be tricky. They have a few dedicated parking spaces as well as a drive-thru (if you know exactly what you want) but beyond that it is going to be street parking. They still carry a great selection of wine and liquor, as well as some snack type things (thing cheese and crackers and chocolates). You should absolutely pay a visit to Old Town Wine and Spirits. Just leave some beer for me!

Can't believe it took this long to put this gem into words, but after visiting more times than I…read morecan count, Red Hog has firmly cemented itself as one of our absolute favorites in Louisville. There isn't a bad seat in the house or the butcher shop. Every corner has its own character, as unique and thoughtful as the food coming out of the kitchen. The open cooking in the shared space adds a warmth that makes it feel like dinner and a show, without the performance. The menu rotates with the seasons, but the crowd favorites never disappear. And for good reason. The burger is a legitimate contender for best in Louisville, no small feat in a city with serious competition. White cheddar, Ross Sauce, bacon jam, fried shallots, pickles, and Red Hog bacon, served with hand-cut fries and a curry aioli that deserves its own review. Unreal. The seasonal farmers market salad was everything summer should taste like, fresh, crisp greens with whey vinaigrette, market vegetables, and cave aged cheddar. Light but deeply satisfying. The Denver steak with chimichurri was perfectly executed. A glass of Cabernet and a martini rounded out a meal that had zero weak links. Red Hog is the rare restaurant that earns the hype every single time. Home run, every visit.

Red Hog has a fabulous happy hour from 3-5 PM and we finally got to stop by a bit before it ended…read more First, the atmosphere when you arrive is like a warm hug. There's an open fire in the kitchen for pizzas and it smells wonderful. Staff were incredibly friendly. We were sat at a high top, sharing the other side with another party - a common occurrence. There is a special happy hour menu - including bites, wine and cocktails. We opted for a bottle of prosecco and were pleasantly surprised a side of fries comes with each bottle during happy hour - what?!! My absolute favorite! We also ordered the charcuterie plate - which includes chefs picks of cheese and 3 meats. The fries were freshly cut with two dipping sauces, ketchup and a curry mayo. Fries were good but a little floppy and not super crispy but we still enjoyed. The charcuterie plate includes salami, prosciutto, and a liver pate with bacon (the last was not super popular with us). The cheeses included a soft maybe blue cheese, cheddar and white cheese. There were also crackers, nuts, jam, olives on the board. Overall it was a good happy hour and we'll be back!!

Another shout-out to the team at Paul's Fruit Market who directed me over to Top Hat. As soon as I…read moreentered Top Hat Liquor Store, I was warmly greeted. This store is tiny, but mighty, as I saw a lot of unique choices on the shelves. I loved the wine selection for a small spot like this. I knew I wanted bubbles and decided to go with a cava. I got both a sparkling white and rose--rose cava? Hm, I wasn't sure about that... Turns out - I absolutely loved it! I do not like a sweet rose with too much bouquet. This pink cava was dry, crisp, with a hint of berry and a nice toasty finish. The team offered to help me to my car (as I was buying quite a bit for an event.) I highly recommend not just the conquilla brut rose, but this friendly local shop. Shop small, y'all!

I really like that it is not a true "bar" no obnoxious TVs, no sticky floors, it truly feels like a place to gather and talk. Even if you go alone it's quite peaceful. They have a good selection of local brews and the staff are really kind and inclusive. The bathrooms are clean and they offer snacks if you need to munch on something. Bonus is they seem dog friendly--if your pooch is well behaved. They have cards for playing and board games in the back. I think the shop is great for introverts and friends looking to catch up after the work week.

It's feels very clean, hip, and classy - a good spot for a quiet drink of a rare local or craft brew. I tried the pimento cheese sandwich, which was pretty basic but yummy nonetheless.
