Jeff Ruby's Louisville, KY

Were going up there for the same thing. Hitting the distilleries all day then going there at night. God willing I won't be too drunk by dinner.

Got a special Buffalo Trace Hard hat tour at 930am, then a stop at WinStar Farms to look at horses. Were gonna swing by the Maker's Mark distillery to dip our own bottles. We won't have time for that tour. (I'm not the biggest maker's fan so i'm not heart broken) Were gonna end at Willet where my buddy has a family connection and is gonna get us some upgrade of the normal tour. We've got a limo to drive us around so we don't have to worry about who stays sober.

ETA: I looked at Mint Julep Tours, but they wanted like 2k for the bus. I ended up renting the limo for almost half that and we get it all day and night.

Bourbon Slushies!

The beet salad is good. My last visit home I had the bone in strip and it was really great. They always seem to have a good selection of ports and after dinner drink specials to end the meal on just the right note.

Great place. I think everytime I've been I've had the Porterhouse and it's very good. For sides, they have a 6 cheese mac and cheese that I enjoy. I also like their Sauteed French Green Beans or the Brussel Sprouts.

I also second the Godfather roll recommendation. Really, you can't go wrong with any of their sushi.

Fair warning, they literally have people camped out on I-65 right now with the snow so don't be surprised at delays. Downtown should be clear enough to travel though especially since you'll be at the base of the Galt House. Your only other concern may be some flooding down on River Road, but you'll be up high enough there that it shouldn't be that bad on Saturday.

Also if you're going to be in town earlier in the day, try out Wild Eggs for breakfast/brunch. They serve until about 2-3 pm and are just about 5 blocks up from Jeff Ruby's.
