Daytime Excursions to Louisville Hot Spots

Highland Coffee Co.: Try their vegan chocolate mini bundt cakes, on-tap kombucha or something off their classic coffee menu.
Harvest Restaurant: Open in the mornings only on weekends, this popular spot — called “eclectic” by reviewers — features stratas (breakfast casseroles), smoked pork belly and pretzel croissants.
Wild Eggs: An open and friendly space featuring daily grits specials, pomegranate mimosas and classics old and new. Reviewers say any wait is worth it.
The Café: An enchanting and tucked-away gem. Great for a classic, hot and affordable breakfast or lunch — try their cake!
Louisville Hot Spots for Small Group Networking
Bourbon, especially in an Old Fashioned, is the classic drink in Louisville. You’ll miss out if you don’t have a taste. But Louisville’s drink scene is actually quite diverse. Anyone for a Mint Julep or Kentucky Mule?
No matter your drink choice, try toasting your client at one of these hot spots:
Doc Crow’s Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar: Southern cooking, a hip atmosphere and plenty of bourbon drinks. Famous for their oysters and BBQ.
Down One Bourbon Bar & Restaurant: Alongside classic, affordable American fare, this bar features over 160 bourbons. You’re bound to find something you’ll like. A quick walk from Doc Crow’s, you could stop by both to check off two spots on your “Urban Bourbon” tour.
Buck’s Restaurant & Bar: A little more upscale, this spot is covered in flowers. Perfect for showing your client a bit of “old world” class.
Galaxie Bar: Tacos, craft cocktails or beer more up your alley? This spot features global-inspired fare, Wednesday night trivia and weekend dancing.
Holy Grale: Housed in an old church, this spot serves up beers from around the world, prioritizing local fare and a community atmosphere.
