"When the circus is in town, this is where they drink. True story. While some of the ambiance of the former [Grandma’s](http://www.esquire.com/food-drink/bars/a35124/best-bars-in-america-2015/) space remains, the new owners have brought some retro-grit panache to the space. The music is good. And, the food is pretty legit with from-scratch offerings like Louisville Hot Chicken. This is one of those magical bars where you “just go and grab one beer” and fall down the rabbit hole. Just let it happen, my friends. Open Tues-Sat @5pm." - Faregrounds
