Conditions are foggy as La Chasse and The Champagnery are shuttered

To put it mildly, this story is confusing. Consequently, let’s allow the social media chronology over the past ten days to do the talking. On July 18, it was revealed that Isaac Fox, front man at the long-running La Chasse (1359 Bardstown Rd.) would be stepping away to focus on The Champagnery (1764 Frankfort Ave.) […]

Gordon Biersch closes downtown at Fourth Street Live

Hip Hops — Gordon Biersch: Still Leading with Lager Indeed, Louisville’s Biersch has reached terminal gravity, leaving only one “standalone” Biersch in the USA (Myrtle Beach FL), as well as […]
