Where are the best places to grab beers and cocktails with friends? If I’m looking for bourbon cocktails then Silver Dollar is my go-to spot, if I’m looking for a lighter cocktail Garage Bar has one of the best Ginger Shandys with Bourbon around. The best place for beer in Louisville is Holy Grale. It’s in an old church, complete with choir loft, and the biergarten out back is hands down one of the most photogenic spots in town.

What's your favorite cafe to meet up with friends? What do you order? Please & Thank You. Soy No Foam Latte and a chocolate chip cookie, cause they’re the best in Louisville.
Best Restaurant For Dinner Parties
Louisville, Kentucky

What restaurant in town would you host a dinner party at? "AH, this would be a total toss up between Garage Bar and Silver Dollar, depending on what the dinner party was for. Both have incredible spaces but different vibes. Garage Bar would be great for an outdoor dinner party, while Silver Dollar has a family style eating area in the back of their restaurant where I’ve had more than one birthday dinner."
What's your favorite spot to eat brunch at with friends? Again, Silver Dollar. It’s homey enough to cure even the worst hang over.
What's the best boutique hotel for a group staycation? 21c Museum Hotel. It’s a contemporary art gallery, boutique hotel, and fine dining restaurant all wrapped into one, and to top it off they almost always have weekend getaway packages.
