What to do and see in Central Business District, Kentucky (KY): The Best Nightlife

September 7, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.

Merle's Whiskey Kitchen

Reviewed By maryg301 - Lakeville, United States

Adam the manager and Courtney our waitress were the BEST!! A great place for southern fried chicken. You can choose southern, medium or hot. Next we tried green chili pork taco ( pulled pork, green chili jam, roasted garlic cream, cilantro) these two items have won awards in food contests and were winners!! Lastly try the Margarita called Mannyrita. These are made from scratch! It was muddled with orange, lemon and lime with margarita mix from scratch. Added to Monte Alban Tequila and Mr Boston Triple sec. Voted Best in Louisville!
