Whiskey Row
Nightlife District · Louisville, Kentucky
Four or five blocks of West Main Street in downtown Louisville lined with nineteenth-century cast-iron facades, which before Prohibition held the offices and warehouses of dozens of whiskey firms. The buildings sat derelict for decades, half of them nearly lost to a fire in 2015, and have been rebuilt into a run of working distilleries, bourbon bars, hotels and restaurants. Louisville has one of the largest surviving collections of cast-iron storefronts in the country, and this is where they are.

The street is open at all hours. Distilleries generally run tours from mid-morning to late afternoon and close by early evening; bars and restaurants run later. Sunday hours are shorter across the row and some distilleries close entirely. Book distillery tours in advance.
