Louisville's only lesbian bar to close New Year's Eve [LGBT]
After several lives over the years, Tink's Pub, a local lesbian bar, will once again close its doors after one last hooray on New Year's Eve.
The current incarnation, located at 2235 S. Preston, has been a central Louisville staple for ten years. The bar, which boasts that every night is ladies' night, has provided a great gathering space for ladies (and lots of men too) to shoot pool, play music in the jukebox, play video poker, throw darts, and sing karaoke. It also offered the occasional drag king show.
Local LGBT bar closes its doors [LGBT]
After seven years, a downtown Louisville bar for the LGBT community, closed last week.
Tia Coatley remembers well the first time that she walked into Starbase Q. Tia, an event planner, says "my mind was going in circles thinking of all the wonderful events that could take place in such a venue."
A Cocktail Conundrum at Meat [Food&Dining]
I arrived at Meat hungry; that was my first mistake. As I tripped up the back stairs of The Blind Pig and into a blank door under a red light, I passed a curing room with slabs of bacon and pork dangling in eerie blue light. My mouth watered as I entered the elegant exposed brick room that is Meat, the newest coolest bar in the newest coolest part of Louisville. Butchertown is apparently the new NuLu, and Meat's interior reflects the starkness of recently minted cool.
Cirque Airotic turns love into a pleasant circus, for a change [Old Louisville]
Wouldn’t it be nice to undress your Valentine without sitting through a crowded dinner that doesn’t provide any real intimacy, let alone a hot meal after the kitchen gets backed-up because everyone in town wanted the day to be special... so they all did the same thing? Cirque Airotic, Louisville’s only aerial burlesque troop, will be showing a little skin without making you pay for it with your sanity.
Magnolia Bar receives "Bomb" threat that will change how Louisville dances [Old Louisville]
Of modern luxuries, music was one of the first to become digital, and with that major benefits have been reaped. No longer must we purchase lame albums with one decent track, and everyone loves portable mp3 players. However, with the digitization of music, something has arguably been lost. Have no fear, you can find it at the Magnolia Bar the last Fridays of the month.

The bees are out... and they've got dictionaries [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
There has been an ever-growing buzz about a new bar game that actually stimulates intellectual activity. The Spelling Bee, otherwise known as the Spleling Be, invites people come out to Germantown bars once a month to have a beer and compete in a spelling bee that is actually quite rigorous (the MC uses a GRE vocabulary flashcard deck). I only made it to the second round.
Patio permissions returning to Germantown [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
Due to some zoning issues, many bars in the Germantown-Schnitzelburg neighborhoods had to close their patios, but that is now being reversed. Bars in the area that have been cited can have drinking and live music outside on their patios by being grandfathered in and approved in an appeal hearing. The Louisville Board of Zoning and Alcoholic Beverage Control review proof that the location has supported outdoor drinking almost continuously for 29 years.
Where Louisville watches Sunday football, Pt. 2: Joe's Older Than Dirt [Sports]
This is Part 2 of a series tracking down where Louisville watches Sunday football.
When folks in Louisville go out to watch football, they look for three things: atmosphere, TV access, and good food and drink specials. The Lyndon area seems to have that with a moose named Joe's.
Where Louisville watches Sunday football: Chubby Ray's [Sports]
When I moved to Louisville a few years back, I thought for sure I would find a gazillion other Bengals fans packing every sports bar in this town. I mean, we were in Cincy territory, right?
What I did find, however, were dozens of bars, each with their own personality, each attaching themselves to a particular NFL franchise. Colts, Steelers, Browns, Redskins...they are all represented at some location here in L'Ville.
This is the first in a series of articles about those locally owned hangouts.
