4th street live

Me and my buddies are looking to come and visit the so called 4th street live the weekend of Feburary15th and looking for an opioin on what clubs are hot? Our season is over and missed making it to the Superbowl so driving up from Wisconsin would be a start in Louisville to our off-season.

You might want to mention your ages and what kind of music you%26#39;re into. The bars and clubs at 4th St. Live all have different themes and music.



And, if you want to check out some places that have a more traditional Louisville feel, you might want to try the Bardstown Rd./Baxter Ave. strip. Here is a description of several places there that was written by Seagrover. I%26#39;m just cutting and pasting:





The area that we locals refer to as ';Bardstown Road'; actually begins on Baxter Ave. if you are coming from the north (which you would be if you are coming from the Marriott). Baxter Ave will eventually run into Bardstown Rd.



The whole thing is about a 3 mile strip starting with the Phoenix Hill Tavern and pretty much ends with the Bambi Bar. Be advised, the list below is from memory and although many of these places serve food, but I only listed the places that feel more bar, than restaurant. There are still a ton of restaurants that I didn%26#39;t include.



Phoenix Hill Tavern - Cavernous. Multiple live bands on most nights. Draws a young, college crowd. Can be cheesy.



Outlook Inn - Divey. Great Bloodies. Hipster local crowd of mixed ages. Pool tables. Juke box in back.



Flanagan%26#39;s - Irish. Nice back patio. Lots of beers on tap.



Mixed/college crowd. Younger on weekends.



Molly Malones - Irish. Great outside space. College/prepster crowd.



Wet Willies - Those swirling daiquiri machines. The crowd seems cheesy to me, but I don%26#39;t spend a lot of time in there.



O%26#39;Shea%26#39;s - Irish. Great outside patio. Live music on some nights. Good all around bar.



Akiko%26#39;s - Karaoke.



Wick%26#39;s Pizza - Pizza pub meets bar. Live music on some nights.



Cahoot%26#39;s - Divey. Locals mostly. Mixed crowd. Pool tables.



BW3%26#39;s - Wings. College crowd. Sports. Sports. Sports.



Back Door - Behind ValuMarket. Hard to find. Locals only. Very mixed crowd. Divey. Lots of pool tables.



Highland%26#39;s Tap Room - Small. Live music. Good outdoor area.



Cumberland Brews - Brew pub. Small. Comfy.



Za%26#39;s Pizza - Good selection on tap. Good pizza. TV%26#39;s. Comfy.



Hideaway Saloon - Divey. A bit hard to find. Locals. Deadheads. Live music on many nights. Pool tables upstairs.



Cafe 360 - Open really late for food. Fully stocked bar. Hookah lounge. Hipster/mixed/Highlands crowd.



Asiatique - Upscale asian restaurant until around 11pm. Clubby/DJ thing in the basement late night.



Big Dave%26#39;s Outpost - Neighborhood bar. Pub grub %26amp; beers.



Dundee Tavern - Neighborhood bar. Good sports watching set-up.



Left Field Lounge - Divey/hole in the wall. Strange, but in a good way.



Bambi Bar - Neighborhood bar. Mixed crowd.



My best suggestion would be for you guys to begin your evening on the corner closest to Molly Malones %26amp; Flanagans (Baxter Ave. and Morton Ave.) From there, you are within easy walking distance of several bars. Most places will only have a small cover (if they have one at all)
