doing a convention next week. driving down with someone who has folks in the area. i will be busy during the week, but expect to be around the following weekend with nothing in particular to do.
so, any good beer to be had in louisville?

1. Yes, 2 places for sure

Here are 2 I recommend:

Cumberland Brews (The Highlands)
1576 Bardstown Rd
Louisville, KY 40205

Bluegrass Brewing Company (St. Matthews)
3929 Shelbyville Rd
Louisville, KY 40207

2. either of these close to the convention center?

i won't have a car.

thanks, tho.

3. BBC not so close but the Highlands would be a short cab ride from downtown.

If you check out maps.google.com and look for where Broadway (heading East) ends at Baxter and look south along Baxter/Bardstown Rd., the area along Bardstown Rd. all the way to where it intersects with Taylorsville Rd. is the hot spots for bars/restaurants in the Highlands area.

There are also tons of great restaurants in the Clifton area (which is Frankfort Ave. south of Mellwood Ave. and running for a mile or so).

If UofL and UK make it past this week's NCAA tourney play, expect bars with TVs to be super-duper extra crowded. :)

Also, check out the following websites for things to do in town that weekend:

5. Neither of the two that I mentioned above

are in the downtown area. Best bet - go to 4th street and hang a left - should be a few places that offer good beer & food.

6. Fourth Street *LIVE*! (I hate that freakin' name) is overrated

Who wants to pay $5 for a Bud Light?

Head out to the Highlands for the best of Louisville's nightlife. :)

7. a cab fare or 2 will not kill me.

not a huge late night partier, tho. do have to have good beer, and i wouldn't drink a bud light if you paid me $5.

8. Is Lynn's Paradise Cafe still a hot spot?

I remember Lynn when she worked at Alfalfa Restaurant in Lexington. She's a good gal. Very talented.
