Food Scene
This place is a GEM! The cocktails are incredible, the food is rustic but surprisingly complex and the view- wow! You're right on the river- but with the beautiful interior and lighted outdoor space, you may have trouble decided where to rest your eyes.

Hands down the best coffee in town. If you're a black coffee drinker- go for it! If you like a bit of milk, get the cappuccino- at 6oz. it's the perfect ratio of espresso to milk (trust me).. or if it's a sweet drink you prefer, ask about the Miele or Bourbon Vanilla Latte. There are a couple locations, all amazing, but if you need a vegan treat, try the Cardinal Blvd location.

The breakfast and lunch are to die for. In the cold months, sit inside their cozy cafe with a European sensibility... or catch them in the warmer moments out in the fantastic beer garden! (Also try their sister shop next door, Holy Grale, for an incredible beer selection set in an old church.)

This place has been around forever, but our friends and I never tire of it because miraculously every single thing on the menu is amazing. Not to mention, the kitchen is open until 2am. (thank your lucky stars!) Great vegan options if needed- try the chilaquiles, samosas, bahn mi, bayou burger, egyptian kitchen- all of it... If you're not vegan- the brie bernadette, east meets south fajitas (actually available with vegan meat), bbq tempura salmon, and cubean burrito are a few of our faves. (Also- great Sunday brunch!)

The pizza is delicious, but the best part is the scenery. Whether you're inside dining in the beautifully restored old house or lounging out under the string lights of their beer garden, the atmosphere is great! It's also right at the end of the walking bridge.

One of Louisville's most unique and unbelievably delicious menus! It's sort of an upscale hole-in-the wall- great for a date or small meet-up. We truly cannot say enough about the thoughtfulness of each and every dish!

Okay, this one is really, really off the grid- but if you're like us and looking for the ultimate authentic food spot, this is it! By far the best Indian food in town and the family that owns it is the best!

Proof is only one piece of the stunning puzzle that is 21C. Grab a drink (Try the El Guapo... a beet infused tequila is used, sounds crazy- tastes unbelievable!) and head down to browse the giant art gallery.

Play really does have a little something for everyone. The drag show is perhaps the main attraction and in this breath-taking setting, it never disappoints! There's also a separate hall where the light is low and the dancing never stops. Need to chill? There's even ANOTHER bar where you can sit and talk, even step outside for some air. Love it!

So the downstairs is a delicious restaurant, but a bit on the pricey side- go if you want to splurge! (Pssst, if you're a music geek, Pat Hallahan of MMJ is an owner! What!?) But my favorite is the upstairs speakeasy, Lola! Head up the back stairs to try out some truly unique cocktails and listen to some of the best local jazz Louisville has to offer.

Often featuring the best DJs in town, Galaxie is also home to Louisville's best margarita! (ask for it spicy!) Their small plates are definitely worth a taste. Late nights often turn into great dance parties.

The food is truly great, but we tend to go for the outdoor bar. Great views and deliciously unique cocktails. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will take great care of you.
