What used to be the Rocky's by the river is now a pretty decent music venue. I came here with some…read morefriends to see a 90's country cover band. Since this is a relatively new venue, there were some kinks. Going in, we didn't have tickets so we went to the counter to purchase. There really wasn't any direction at the door so we kind of just wandered in. We found where we could purchase tickets for the show but with the lack of direction - we could have just walked in without paying. There are multiple restrooms and they were extremely clean, even later in the night. There is a raised section with some seating. Plenty of dance space. There is also a bar with both cocktails and draft beer (mostly Upland Brewing offerings). Prices weren't bad and the line moved pretty quickly. The venue holds a pretty decent amount of people and I look forward to seeing more shows there. Not going to lie, I already have tickets to see O-Town ($20 tickets - I was NOT going to pass this up!)

Because the amphitheater seating is right on the water, there was such a cool breeze despite it being a pretty hot day. The freight train runs right passed it, which might seem like a nuisance (it was a little when you had to wait so long to cross), but it kind of added to this bizarre combination of nature (grass, trees, river) and industry (theater, downtown New Albany, bridge). I walked up the stairs to the higher seating area which had a very nice view. I do think it would be lovely to spruce up the seating there. I'm sure there is a reason why the seats are just cinderblock, but why not add cute benches? Heck, some planters? Anyway! I haven't been to an event there yet, and am really hoping to soon!

Frazier Kentucky History Museum is definitely a must visit to learn all about Kentucky History. I…read morewish this place had been around when I was a school kid. The exhibits are very informative on the history. I believe this was formerly a Historical Arms Museum with old military guns. I have only been here with a friend when the Summer Beer Fest at Frazier takes place. Part of the VIP package. We definitely walk around and look at the different exhibits as well as getting special pours from the fest for VIPs . This is known as the starting point for Kentucky Bourbon trail. They don't just do Kentucky History they also do Louisville History as well. You can definitely learn just about anything Kentucky here. Although we have only been during the beer festival, we have yet to be here when it is actually open. I think a guided tour would be awesome. This is definitely worth a visit, for fun, learning, field trips. They do have other events as well just check out their Facebook page.

Even if you do not enter the museum, you must stop in to browse the gift shop. It is one of my…read morefavorites and I plan to come here more often for gifts. The Frazier is now a stop on the bourbon trail and because of that you can learn fun facts about how it's made and the history in Kentucky. Tastings and tours are also available. Cool Kentucky is a favorite walk through and it's found on the main floor. It's the reason the locals should visit. I learn something new each time and people in our state are highlighted in many ways. The Lewis and Clark exhibit remains and is likely the most kid friendly; however, this museum isn't really geared towards kids and they're going to become antsy fairly quick. Rotating exhibits always offer a reason to come back so I like to follow them on social media to see the announcements. Frazier offers an annual beer fest as well during late July/early August. I give them kudos for adjusting their displays and theming over the years to appeal to more visitors and remain open. It's a unique experience. Street parking, don't forget to pay the meter. Discount tickets may be found on Groupon. Annual membership is a good deal too.

"Now I'm walkin' on sunshine, woah-oh And don't it feel…read moregood?" (Katrina and the Waves) We aren't golfers, so when our convention offered a "Private Daytime Food Tour" as an alternate activity for the non-golfers, we couldn't sign up fast enough. That turned out to be a fantastic decision, because we loved our Walking Food Tour with Christina Shipp. It was a mile and a half endeavor with four stops for food and liquid refreshments. Christina guided us through some of Louisville's most iconic neighborhoods and along the way entertained us with true stories about Louisville's history and its culinary scene. She was fantastic. After we signed the obligatory waivers, she handed us a nifty headset so we could hear her narration. She also gifted us with a souvenir Louisville tote bag. Our first stop was at Doc Crow's for a bowl of shrimp and grits and a glass of lager beer. Next stop was The Swan for a Honeyed Julep and messy but delicious hot honey bourbon chicken sliders. We satisfied our collective sweet tooth at Art Eatables with a Modjeskas chocolate truffle and a Bourbon truffle and wrapped up the day at Down One Bourbon for an Old Fashioned Louis melt. Christina called it "a love letter" to Louisville's iconic Hot Brown. One Bourbon's final dish was a Derby Pie Sundae. My favorite foods were the Shrimp and Grits and the Hot Honey Bourbon Chicken. Our experience was fantastic. Christina was funny, engaging and offered a ton of great information. The headsets worked to perfection, and there was plenty of food and drink throughout the tour. She also took a group photo at every stop and e-mailed them to us at the end of the tour. What an excellent experience.

Now THIS is why you should go to Louisville. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of…read morehospitality and I signed up for a bourbon tour with Greta a few weeks before our trip here. Our expectations were probably middle of the road going in; I'm honestly not sure how much research my chum did on this one (this was all her) but we were both a little apprehensive that this might be overrated and too touristy. But if you legitimately enjoy bourbon, are willing to drink it throughout an afternoon and want to have a few more talking points when the topic comes up - check, check and check - this was fantastic and worth the money. The tour packed a lot in during its roughly three hours. The specific reason we chose this one was because it included a visit to Angel's Envy, our favorite bourbon, but it also had stops at Bourbon Barrel Foods, Whiskey Thief and Chicken Cock. These were all within roughly five or 10 minutes of one another, pretty much on the eastern side of Downtown and around Butchertown. The weather was atrocious (raining pretty much the entire time) but we had a handy dandy trolley with us to save the day. I can't say enough about Angel's Envy and how impressive this distillery was. To me it was the unequivocal star of the show and we probably spent the most time here, at least in terms of really learning about bourbon and doing tour shizzle. It's just a gorgeous facility, and if you've ever driven through SE Kentucky wondering where all the money is, I found it. After the tour, we came back here for two hours and bought a lot of bourbon and swag to bring back home. We had the great fortune of getting Paula on our tour, who knows her bourbon and provided a ton of interesting insights about the creation of bourbon and just some general facts that we didn't know. I liked that the reason bourbon is basically just in KY has a lot to do with their soil/water, which ties in pretty closely with the trip we took the prior day to Mammoth Cave; like those passageways, everything is connected. Bourbon Barrel Foods was probably the weakest part of the tour if there was one, just because they didn't have a lot to bring to the table in terms of specific bourbon. It's pretty much just there as a stop to get a little food in you (not a bad thing AT ALL) while also offering you a $5 Old Fashioned, which we both took advantage of. Cute little bar/boutique store with a lot of bourbon-influenced bougie condiments and food stuffs for purchase, and the Old Fashioned was fine. We then went to pretty much just a wine store nearby (not sure about the name) where our guide Greta got a chance to shine with some more facts about bourbon, obviously drink some more and also gnaw on some artisanal cheese. By the time we got to Whiskey Thief, everyone was pretty rosy-cheeked and having a good time. This was strategically a really wily stop because you basically just hung out for half an hour drinking another cocktail (not sure but I don't think this was exactly an Old Fashioned, but more of a summer/fruity variation perhaps? Who knows. I'd had a few.), sampling some sauces/crackers and meeting Bourbon Tour Canine Chum Betty, who was a true professional and lover of the rump rub. An excellent addition to any distillery. But just an awesome stop, and we were starting to legit hang out with other people on the tour; I had a rousing 20-minute conversation with a fellow from Ohio who also had some real issues with how the Cincinnati Reds have been run over the last few decades. The Big Red Machine is sadly a distant memory. Anyway. The tour ended at Chicken Cock, which had a great vibe to go with its name. I was definitely pretty toasty by this point, as was my chum, and this is probably the best place to remind you that it's REALLY easy to get drunk on this tour. I was very proactive in seizing every food opportunity and keeping very hydrated, which for sure helped, but I also didn't really say no to any of the bourbon samples. So if that's a legitimate concern for you, just pick and choose your moments. One or two more might have been a problem, but the tour and its accompanying drinks were spread out enough not to do too much damage to me. Just know your limits, etc. Really great group too; I'm sure even if they'd been atrocious I would have liked them by Chicken Cock. This tour cost about $200 - your mileage may vary on the price, but we thought it was 100% worth it to get so much perspective on a spirit we've really grown to love over the past few years and of course to set foot in the Mother Ship aka Angel's Envy. And because it's pricier, you're not getting low-class lushes here - everyone was respectful and just cool people to spend time with. We had a bachelor party in our group from Scranton, PA, and they couldn't be nicer - and one of them worked at the arena where I saw Third Eye Blind in 2000! Wild times. Bourbon rocks. This tour rocks.

I love a good parable. HTCC is huge and has a lot of different rooms with a bunch of possible uses and purposes. I think you could find a space for anything. We had our lecture in a theatre that maybe had witnessed better days. The room itself served the purpose well. The two things I didn't like about HTCC was the parking situation (if you don't have loads of parking, maybe you don't invite loads of people). The bathroom situation wasn't optimal either but I'd bet that had something to do with the age of the building more than anything else.

There was a large entryway, which helped with quickly getting the line of attendees into the venue. There were several small conference-type rooms where they set up the doughnuts, coffee, and kombucha. These rooms would be great for smaller presentations as well. Then, there was the best part of the space, the theatre. It really reminded me of The Palace, only smaller. There is a large stage and lots of seating. It was perfect for the event, and I could see it being perfect for lots of other events as well. The only possible issue with this space is parking. Luckily I didn't have any trouble at all finding a spot, but I could see where parking could become an issue if the venue were full. If you're looking for an event space I think this is a great spot! Just be sure to check out the parking situation first.
