In a nutshell
A mix of midwestern America work ethic and southern charm.
Jim_Eliason Says: This recently remodelled museum has become Louisville's premier attraction. It displays the history of arms and warfare in the US and UK. Especially good is the display of UK arms. The museum also has many live period demonstrations.
Get Your Pie and Ice Cream Fix
riorich55 Says: One of my favorite places in Louisville is Bardstown Road. Up and down about a 3 mile stretch you will find a variety of restaurants, music stores, book stores, used clothing stores and just about anything else you can think of. Towards the southern end of the shopping area...

Kentucky Derby Museum/Churchill Downs Tour
PinkFloydActuary Says: Churchill Downs is home to the Kentucky Derby, and even if you aren't a racing fan, the huge interactive museum and tour of the grounds is something that everyone can enjoy. We got there for the museum opened to check out the exhibits before the tour actually kicked off. The...
PinkFloydActuary Says: Time to see how all the bats for MLB are made! This is a pretty neat little tour/museum. Located on the north side of the city, you start by getting your tickets and checking out a few exhibits about baseball (stand behind a catcher and see how fast you have to be to hit a...
Toughluck Says: We didn't stop in, as it's ads reflect many hand-ons activities for kids and the youngest in our group was 24 and well versed in science. It sounded great and like something the kids would have enjoyed when they were 5-14 years old.Open Mon-Thu,Sun 9:30am-5pm; Fri-Sat...
Toughluck Says: Home to the Royal Armouries USA, which is a mini-tour of English History as told through the Armour and weapons used from the early Celts through the Romans, into the age of Knights, right up to the founding of North American Colonies. It is a wonderful collection of...

J. Graham's Cafe: Enjoy a Hot Brown at the Brown Hotel
etfromnc Says: J Graham's Cafe offers bistro-style casual dining in one of the finest hotels in America. I cannot afford to stay there but I love the world famous Hot Brown sandwich. They also have local produce so fresh that you may feel an urge to walk out back and check out the garden....
BEST AND WORST: A NOTE ABOUT THESE REVIEWS
John195123 Says: I wanted to provide a brief introduction to my restaurant reviews. Many members review the best restaurants in their pages and don't mention the mediocre or worst. I'd like to provide a thorough assessment of Louisville's restaurants, good and bad.I consider myself to be a...
Smokey Bones: Smokey Bones? Don't bother...
John195123 Says: This is allegedly a barbeque joint. If you hold any love for the culinary wonderfulness (new word) that is barbeque, stay far away from barbeque that fails not only its namesake, but the meat it's designed to serve.Smokey Bones may have decent service and a kid-friendly...
The Blind Pig: Blind Pig? Blind Palate
John195123 Says: The Blind Pig combines the ambience of an old "industrial" building with pig meat in its many forms. They make their own sausages and have a decent selection of libations for the more discerning drinkers. Yet, like many restaurants, they fall down in certain areas.Service at...
21C's Proof on Main: Good, not great
John195123 Says: One of the draws of Proof on Main is its attachment to 21C Museum Hotel, noted as one of the top hotels in the country, and, as the restaurant's name implies, is located on Main Street in downtown Louisville. I get the feeling that this restaurant is very impressed with...
Seviche: Latin Fusion - Good Stuff
riorich55 Says: Again, I'm writing this tip almost 2 years after the fact. But since I've been cleaning up things in my house I ran across the receipt which helped jog my memory of this really good restaurant. I was on a road trip with a co-worker going from Indianapolis to Louisville to...
4th Street Live: Entertainment in Downtown Louisville
riorich55 Says: I hesitated whether to put this tip here or on the Tourist Trap page, but since I was only here for about 2 hours having dinner at one of the restaurants, I didn't want to really give it a bad rap in that short amount of time. So I'll review it here with a picture and if you...
Louisville Regional Airport (SDF)
ATXtraveler Says: If you are heading to Louisville, your closest airport is Louisville Regional Airport (SDF) It is located about ten miles south of downtown, and about 5 miles from Churchill Downs. The Airport is also known as Standiford Field, named after the Dr. that owned most of the land...
Hospitality Tents at Churchill Downs
ATXtraveler Says: One of the major things you want to do if you are looking to be a "local" is to find a hospitality tent to get invited to for Kentucky Derby. Various tents are rented out by most of the major local corporations and here is where you get your mint juleps and your race day...
Ih8sully09 Says: Louisville is a medium-size city of about a million people if you include the whole county. Like any decent size city there is going to be bad neighborhoods and good neighborhoods. I lived there for 20 years and generlaly felt safe most places. I read a couple of reviews...
grandmaR Says: The Speed Art Museum on the University of Louisville's campus is the oldest and largest art museum in Kentucky. I was interested in the collection because it includes paintings by Kentucky artists and my husband owns such a painting.HOWEVER, there is apparently NO CATALOG of...
Pay Your Respects to Col. Sanders
TravellerMel Says: Col. Harland Sanders, famous fried chicken magnate (well, mascot, anyway) is buried at the Cave Hill Cemetery, beside his beloved wife, Claudia. My brother said he expected the headstone to resemble a bucket of KFC, but instead it is a bust of the good Colonel.Cave Hill...
Triple A Baseball with the Louisville Bats
riorich55 Says: In 2010 I did a lot of company business travel in the United States for my former employer Pepsi. One of the advantages of traveling with Pepsi is that in a lot of cities they provide the beverages for sale and if they do they usually have really good tickets and in some...

A "Wicked" Weekend in Louisville
First off, it's pronounced LOO-uh-vuhl, not LEWIE-ville, or Lewis-ville. A very nice woman at the hotel gently corrected my pronunciation. The "honey"s and "dawlin"s and "sweetie"s will flow from the...
