Whiskey Row

Historic Whiskey Row is one of our favorite spots in town, hands down. This block-long stretch of W. Main Street once served as home to Louisville’s bourbon industry. To this day there still stands Revivalist and Chicago-style buildings with cast-iron storefronts that are being preserved and redeveloped. After that July 6, 2015 fire that partially destroyed three of the buildings, Louisville is luck that this block of architecture that gives the town some of its character and charm still stands.
