Makers Mark Bourbon House and Lounge


This weekend as I was at the Derby I visited one of the swankiest bars in Louisville. The Makers Mark Lounge . It is, in my opinion, the crown jewel of Louisville's famous 4th street live scene.

As you walk from the street you are greeted with a red lit wall of bottles and the scene is something to behold. The 58 foot long bar is outdone by what must be 100 bottles of bourbon behind it. As you sit down there is a sheer curtain that you can pull around your table for more privacy and most of the lighting is provided by candles put in glass vases that are dipped in that famous red wax. It is a fantastic experience.

So if you are planning on attending the Derby next year, or just find yourself in downtown Louisville, make this your after party.
