A favorite of famous jockeys and trainers. Wagner’s Pharmacy is a must try for anyone staying at The Churchill Cottage. This is a dinner style resturant and we love everything on the menu! We would have to recommend the omelets if you’re there for breakfast. If you happen to be there for lunch on a Friday, you must try the fish.

Everything, and I mean everything, is great here. If you love tacos, go here! It’s located just 2.6 miles from The Churchill Cottage and we highly recommend. My favorite is the fish tacos, but have liked everything I have tried.

This place has a large selection of beer on tap and has some great eats also. The Boys in Blu pizza and the BBQ Chicken Nachos are our favorites. This kind of has a sports bar atmosphere but not as many TVs as you might be accustomed to in a traditional sports bar.

Located Downtown on Whiskey Row. This place is great. It’s a BBQ joint and an oyster bar. We have never had the oysters because the BBQ is too good to pass up. The brisket and pulled pork are great. Try the Bubba Burger if your’re up for a challenge. The sides are all good, but we usually go with some of the more traditional BBQ sides like baked beans, cole slaw and Mac-N -Cheese. If you are looking for a great starter, the nachos are killer. They call them Heap -N-Chips on the menu. It’s Doc’s potato chips plated nacho style covered in pull pork or beef brisket and your typical nacho condiments.

They have a bourbon slushy and you have to try it. Everything is so good at this restaurant. It’s located in NULU which about 9.6 miles from the house. It’s worth the short drive. I’ve never ordered anything other than pulled pork, or the brisket, but have never been let down. The sides are all great too. We highly recommend the collard greens.

One of our favorite places in Louisville. This restaurant mixes southern comfort food with bold flavors. They also partner with local farms to bring you fresh, local, organic produce and meats. If you try this one, know that it’s so popular that the line often reaches outside the restaurant. It’s well worth the wait!

It is a unique place to spend a day creating a piece of art to take back home from your visit to our city. It does take a few days for your art to be fired, so make sure you will have enough time to do this activity and pick up your piece of art.

It’s a great place for kids to get some extra exercise during those cold winter months! They have obstacle courses, trampoline basketball and a great dodgeball court!
