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.

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.

Krazy Dave’s of Louisville

Krazy Dave’s is one of those neat little “hole in a wall” bars you find hidden in a middle of a neighborhood. Inside the bar doesn’t look like much. Pretty small. Nothing really sticks out. The bar makes up for it in other ways, though.

 

They keep it simple at Krazy Dave’s. No chef made food. Just good old fashion bar junk food. If you are on diet, don’t eat here. The bar has a few TV’s, outdoor seating, a pool table, dart boards and of course, karaoke. I’m not saying the karaoke is good. But they have it.

 

Food 8.5 out of 10 – The food is typical bar food. Chicken wings, burgers and pizza. The chicken wings and chicken fingers are decent, but nothing amazing, as are the fries. The Burgers (Krazy Dave’s Burger) are pretty good. I was amazed at how good the pizza is here. I’ve never heard people mention Krazy Dave’s as a good pizza parlor in Louisville. Their veggie pizza is excellent. What really caught me off guard is how awesome their Philly Cheese Steak is. I would rate it in my top 3 favorites found in Louisville.

 

Beer Selection – 6 out of 10 – This is the only area I knock Krazy Dave’s for. They have four beers on tap and only a handful of bottles, mostly common beers such as Bud Light, Miller Light and Coors. You will not find a large selection of Microbrews or imports here. On the bright side, very cheap prices when compared to other bars.

 

Wine/Spirits 8 out of 10 – I think they have wine…… While a small spirits selection, they have a lot of good stuff. They keep around 8-10 decent Kentucky Bourbons, George Dickel and other common and popular brands stocked. I was happy to see Makers 46 and George Dickel Rye on the shelf. Two decent Whiskeys and priced cheap when compared to other bars.

 

Service 10 out of 10 – This bar is one of the friendliest bars I’ve been to in quite some time. All the bartenders are cool people. My two favorites are Hoyt and Debbie. I’ve never had bad service from anyone here. You make friends here very quickly.

 

If you are in the Goldsmith Lane area and only have $10 to spend, check out Krazy Dave’s. A pitcher of Miller Lite is only $7. I live in the area and I try to stop by at least bi-weekly. Cool place, good food and cheap prices on most booze!

 

Overall score – 32.5 out of 40, 81.3% (misleading score due to the beer selection)

Josh Young – White Trash 101

Odd that even his facial hair grows out in a white trash manner.

LOL, somebody just won “Make  a Wish Tickets” to his favorite NBA team!

One day he may know what a pussy feels like…….

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?

 

Recent “gang” problem in Louisville

I’m sick of the recent Louisville “gang” issue. There are basically two sides.

 

1 – white people blaming the black community

 

2 – black people blaming white people for being racist

 

 

Both sides are stupid. It’s the government’s fault. They care more about Derby time and wearing red to support U of L than solving these issues. When black and white people argue like this, the government which hates all people equally, wins. Race is not the issue.

 

I grew up in Crescent Hill. The area is more diverse than people think. A lot of African Immigrants lived within 2-3 blocks from my childhood home, due to the Southern Baptist Seminary being near. That also brought a lot of Asians to the area, people of Middle Eastern descent and just about every other ethnic group known to man.

 

While the Highlands are known for “gay men,” Crescent Hill was known for gay women. Crescent Hill is just like the Highlands. You will see interracial couples, gay couples and everything in between. My point is simple. These diverse people didn’t cause crime, trouble or a decrease in land value.

 

When it comes to the West End, white people assume blacks are to blame. Blacks then turn around and blame whites for being racist and not caring. Sadly, both sides are wrong. We have a local government that does nothing. How about the Mayor reaches out to these people instead of worrying about what famous people are coming to town for the Derby. Maybe spend less time building more dog parks for them to shit in. My dog will shit anywhere, just saying.

 

If blacks can do well in Crescent Hill, there’s no reason they can’t in the West End. If whites from Crescent Hill can accept black people as equal, why can’t all of Louisville? I grew up near every race known to man and never walked outside in fear. Reading comments from ignorant people on sites such as FaceBook is beyond pathetic.

Louisville Cardinal Fans – still the same dumb fanbase

Even after a basketball National Championship, Louisville Cardinals fans are a disgrace to real sports fans. The comments I see from them always makes me chuckle. Recently some loser posting as “Alrighty Whitey”, Travis Druden has been spamming my website with ignorant (typical Louisville fans) comments. His debates are weak, like always from Louisville fans. I will touch base on a few of these.

Louisville is ahead of Kentucky in all sports –

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/

Kentucky leads Louisville in money made from sports. That is the end of that debate. (BTW, the Yum! Center is losing money as we speak, LOL)

Coach Cal Cheats –

Maybe, but who doesn’t? To say Louisville runs a clean program is hilarious.

Player Abuse at Louisville

Players at Louisville among the nation’s dumbest – nothing was done!

Bribes, payoffs and sex cover-up. Arkansas fired their coach for lying. Louisville gave theirs a raise.

Football staff is full of cheaters.

Louisville basketball players are criminals (nothing new).

Football team has criminals on roster.

Louisville has better fans –

After back to back Final Fours (and a National Title), Louisville couldn’t even average a sellout crowd per game. UK who lost 1st round in the NIT, once again, led the nation.

Even Charlie Strong mocks Louisville fans. Read here. (he claims UK fans are better, lol)

This is the fanbase of a team ranked in the top 10 and undefeated –

 Ranked in the top 10…. Yet no fans. Yes sir, Louisville sports! Getting drunk and arrested before the game means more than watching it! You compare this to elite programs?

I could go on and on. Debating Louisville fans is a complete waste of time.  They are the world’s most ignorant fanbase. They make Matt Jones seem like the world’s smartest man.

UofL beats UK 27-13
