68°F1:25 PM The Four Pegs is a “Beer Lounge and Social Eatery”, which apparently means they serve nothing but beer and appetizing, superb food. I took a group of friends to the fashionable Germantown eatery (1053 Goss Avenue) this Friday night, and we were pleased as punch with our food, if a bit dissatisfied with the service.
This article could really be titled “Favorite place to catch up on all the craziness that has been going on in our lives over the last two weeks.” Occasionally it seems my lovely friend Rebecca and I go a little too long without talking and
need a proper dinner (with drinks, of course) to officially get caught up. When this happens, we most often head to Eiderdown (983 Goss Avenue) for the occasion.
Three notable “healthy Louisville” events will be occurring Saturday morning. One for a good cause, one for the city as a whole, and one just for fun these three civic minded events provide ways for families to get out and do something good for themselves and the city as a whole this weekend.
Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Hike
In the city’s continued efforts to provide healthy and family-friendly activities for residents, this Saturday mayor Greg Fischer will host Louisville’s seventh annual fall hike.
Calling all beer-lovers, it's time to help bring a new and exciting single-barrel brewery, LouBrew, to the Louisville beer scene.

If you’ve lived here in our beloved Derby-city for a long time, then there is a good chance that you’re probably already over Thunder Over Louisville. It’s just a bunch of fireworks, right? Or maybe because it essentially generates Louisville’s biggest annual city-wide traffic jam, and packs the Jefferson County Detention Center to near capacity. Something of the sort.
The time has come to bid adieu to Germantown as a writer as I am now a downtown writer for Louisville.com, leaving my original post as a Germantown reporter. When I first started covering Germantown-Schnitzelburg I didn’t know what to expect because I was new to Louisville and, apparently, there are mixed opinions of the area around the city.

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.
The Germantown-Schnitzelburg neighborhoods have been hailed as neighborly places, at least by me, and the community is taking the opportunity to broaden their boundaries to include military personal stuck in Louisville for Christmas. The neighborhood will provide army trainees unable to go home to their families with food, games, gifts, and company, and they’re calling on everyone for support.
