Pints&union passes from “Memento mori” to “Requiescat in pace”

Full disclosure: the author was beer director at Pints&union from 2018 through 2023. Eight months after debuting at 1576 Bardstown Rd. on New Year’s Eve following its move from New Albany, dissolution came quietly for Pints&union after a final performance on Saturday. Connoisseurs of irony (alas, our numbers steadily dwindle) will note that during the […]

In Jeffersonville, Hooters leaves its building by the river

Over at Louisville Business First, the inimitable Michael L. Jones highlights another round of Hooters breastaurant reductions, this time in Jeffersonville.

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.) […]

Love is blue: Corridor Bar closes but hopes to return

Corridor Bar, a “rum and agave forward” study in blue located at 712 E. Market St. (on the contested border of new-school NuLu and old-school Phoenix Hill), has closed following a three year run.

Gordon Biersch closes downtown at Fourth Street Live

I seem to have misplaced an entire decade. My profile of Gordon Biersch appeared in F&D’s Fall 2015 issue. Now it can serve as a requiem. 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 […]

J-Town Big Bites comes in, because WNB Factory went out

It has been two years since our last glance at WNB Factory, a chain/franchise eatery founded in Atlanta in 1997. Apparently it has been tough sledding for WNB’s local franchisee, as two of the three Louisville area locations have closed: 3733 Lexington Road in St. Matthews, and 10224 Taylorsville Road in Jeffersontown. As for the […]
