The Classics: Sip a cocktail at the historic Jack Fry’s or grab world-famous fried chicken at The Eagle.

Global Flavors: Try authentic Havana Rumba, tacos at La Suerte, or Twig and Leaf.

Craft Beer & Spirits: Visit Vines Wine Bar, Darlings, Holy Grale (located in a stunning 1905 church) or Neat Bourbon Bar for a true Kentucky experience.

Explore & Beyond

Cherokee Park (5 mins): Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, this park is perfect for a morning run or a scenic bike ride through rolling hills.
