Top 5 Best Beer Spots in Louisville

5. The Irish Rover – The Rover normally keeps 11 beers on tap, with 8-9 being excellent. They also have a great bottle selection that regulars like I know about.

 

4. Holy Grail – While not a friendly bunch (they all think they are beer experts), the bar has a great selection of beer.

 

3. Bluegrass Brewing Company – All the beer is locally made and fresh. They change beers throughout the year while always keeping the best such as their Bourbon Barrel.

 

2. Flanagan’s Alehouse – Excellent selection of draft and a never ending selection of bottled beers.

 

1. Sergio’s World Beers – At least 1100 different beers in-stock at any given time. What more needs to be said?

Top 5 Bars to grab a Whiskey (Bourbon, American Whiskey, Scotch or Irish Whiskey)

5. Brown Hotel – They always keep a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle in stock. Made me a believer!

 

4. Galt House – Over priced, but a beautiful bar with a nice selection.

 

3. The Bristol – They cater to the “tourist” crowd and keep a nice selection of the “good stuff”.

 

2. Bourbon Bristol – Probably the best selection of Bourbon in town, hence the name. I rate them second because a bartender admitted they jack the prices because “people are willing to pay it.”

 

1. The Irish Rover – While I love Bourbon, being a Kentucky Native myself, I enjoy Irish Whiskey and Scotch more. Nobody locally has a better Irish Whiskey selection and very few can rival Mr. Reidy’s Scotch selection.

Top 5 Best Sports Bars in Louisville

5. Hooters in St. Matthews – Overrated food and drink prices. Then, again, who cares when you are surrounded by hot girls dressed like sluts?

 

4. Krazy Dave’s – Nobody in Louisville would agree. I picked it because there’s always room; enough TV’s and most bar goers will watch sports elsewhere.

 

3. Roosters in Middletown – Cheaper than B-Dubbs with tons of TV’s and specials throughout the week.

 

2. The Brickhouse – Hot girls and unlike Hooters, good food and tons of great imported beers.

 

1. Buffalo Wild Wings of St. Matthews – Great bar staff and the best managers in Louisville. To this day, best wings in town!

Top 5 Best Sandwiches in Louisville

5. Jason Deli’s Chipotle Pot Roast – A giant portion of savory pot roast covered with a delicious chipotle sauce. One word – awesome.

 

4. Tony Bombozz’s the Veggie – I am no vegetarian, however, I would be if all vegetarian food tasted this good.

 

3. The Irish Rover’s Lamb Burger – Decent price and not overly gamer due to the mix of beef. Best medium rare with blue cheese.

 

2. The Brickhouse’s Lamb Burger – A little pricey but excellent. 100% Lamb meat with no beef. The goat cheese is awesome.

 

1. Diorio’s Philly Cheese Steak – Finally, a Louisville restaurant that can actually serve one correctly! None locally even come close to this one.

Top 5 Best Ham/CheeseBurgers in Louisville

Note – I have tried all these places and burgers!

5. Dizzy Whizz – Old school and nothing fancy. Simple, yet delicious.

4. Tumbleweed’s En Fuego Burger – Tons of hot pepper with Frank’s Hot Sauce. Also weighs a whopping half-pound.

3. Backdoor’s Back-burner Burger – Been years since I’ve had one. One thing I recall — great grill flavor and always filling.

2. Bluegrass Brewing Company’s Germantown Burger – Take a 1/3 burger and add beer cheese. That equals yummy.

1. Highlands Taproom’s Kentucky Bluegrass Burger – The plain cheese burgers here are excellent. How to make them better? Had a bourbon glaze and top it with blue cheese. Hands down, the best burger in Louisville.

Rules for the Kentucky Derby

1. Drink Bourbon. No mixers! On the rocks or neat. Anything else is un-American and anti-Kentucky!

2. Women, dress like sluts. In Kentucky during the Derby, nobody judges you!

3.Buy a shitty hat. They are ugly but, again, nobody judges you during Derby time.

4. Gamble, gamble and gamble. Who cares about your child’s college fund or your retirement?

 

Louisville Fans blame refs for loss – nothing new

When I was kid, my dad  never forced me to like UK. When I was 5 or 6, he told me to watch how U of L fans acted. I can recall watching my brother-in-law boo and yell during U of L games. He always had a beer in hand and blamed the refs. When UK would beat U of L, they cheated of course. I quickly became a UK fan.

I’m 32 now and nothing has changed. U of L fans are still the worst, most bandwagon and crybaby fanbase on earth. Nothing they say shocks me. I expect stupid and ignorant comments from them. We are seeing that after UK beat them on 12-28-13. UK won, refs cheated. Same old song and dance. Facts and data proves them wrong. Yet, they claim UK cheated.

Unfair fouls? Not at all. The final foul total was 25 on U of L and 19 on UK. That number is misleading. U of L committed 4 of those fouls with less than a minute left on purpose. So in truth, the numbers were 21-19, very, very close. Refs called fouls right down the middle. No cheating what so ever.

U of L shot 39% while UK shot 53%. Do the math.

UK out rebounded U of L by 8.

UK had 17 second chance points while U of L had only 6. Again, do the math.

U of L hit 6 out of 26 three-point shots. Horrible.

U of L was man-handled by Randle who made 7 of his 8 shots.

Now other facts ————

U of L has only played 2 top 50 RPI ranked teams, UNC and UK. U of L lost both games. Maybe U of L isn’t that good.

UK was without Randle in the 2nd half and only made 53% of their free throws. If UK had Randle and made free throws, UK beats U of L by 20-25.

UK has owned U of L since Cal took over. He is 3-0 at Rupp against them, 1-0 on a neutral site and 1-1 at the Yum! Center. He can beat U of L anytime at any venue.

To sum things up, UK didn’t cheat. They out played and out hustled U of L. Data and the facts PROVE UK won fair and square!
