This place is amazing. One of the smallest restaurants in Louisville packs the biggest punch when it comes to BBQ beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, mac & cheese, and one of the best burgers you can get around here. Even the Garcia Veggie burger is great! Be sure to get a seasonal salad, mac & cheese balls or a bacon topped brownie!

Just 2 blocks away… It is simply one of the best bakeries in town, much less in the neighborhood. Expect wonderful culinary creations that are spot on to go with an espresso or chi latte. A little pricy but totally worth it!

Green River style as David says… is the breading he uses which is peppery and has cornmeal in it. The fish house is a great seafood place, reasonably priced and cooked to order. They make their own tartar sauces which are available for sale in area groceries as well as his restaurant. Only on weekends they are open as Cafe Beignet, serving beignets, omelets, potatoes & chicory coffee.

Wick's has been serving up one of the best pizzas in town for upwards of 30 years now. They deliver, but be sure to enjoy the 3 buildings they take up. The restaurant side, pub side and live music side have plenty to offer different times of day. Its a little too sports bar for me sometimes because I'm not into ball sports much but I've had friends play live music there and had a great time drinking good beer and having great pizza close to home.

Perhaps the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Everything was wonderfully prepared and flavorful. It is a little pricey but well worth it. The restaurant is very well designed and accommodated with tantalizing decorations and friendly staff. Do not hesitate to take this place in. The hostess was nice enough to give us a couple menus to put in the house for you.

Open since 1925, surviving the prohibition years, if only those walls could talk! My local Pub is shared among colorful neighbors during the day and changes each night with groups meeting for movie nights, karaoke, bicycle nights, and on the weekends live music or DJs spinning into the night for hipsters young and older. The bourdon and beer selection is hard to beat with daily craft beer specials. On wednesday night bicycles can park inside.

A great pub with great drink selection, mostly beer, but also a late night place with live music. A huge out door beer garden is in back with a smaller one in the front. A great neighborhood setting and easy to bike to.

Just one mile from my house is one of the oldest beer brands in Louisville. Revived in recent years, FCB now offers more than the fizzy pilsner mainstay born in WW II. Here you'll find finely crafted beers from Imperial Stouts to Hazy IPAs. Roomy inside and out with a biergarden in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood which is part of the trendy NULU area featuring many nearby restaurants.

Be sure to visit the Falls of the Ohio state park for the largest exposed fossil bed in north America, best viewed in summer and fall when river levels are the lowest. There is a wonderful museum, trails for hiking and viewing of fossils out on the fossil bed. A wonderful place and not too well known. Serene!
