The weekly highlight is Tail Wagging Tuesday, a local shelter fundraiser with a dog food truck, drink specials, and giveaways (human and canine), but dogs are always welcome and Frank’s has live music and likes to showcase distilleries within walking distance. It looks like a regular neighborhood bar in the middle of a block of storefronts, but there’s a cartoon dog in its logo-always a good sign-and it’s named for the owner’s puppy. It’s a place where meat is cooked over a fire of bourbon barrel staves, and while that sounds gimmicky, the steaks are amazing and accompanied by a lengthy whiskey list.įrank’s Whiskey Place is another recent addition to downtown, just a two-minute walk from Hotel Distil. Distil has a great open-air second-floor patio bar, and while its standout restaurant, Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse, won’t accommodate your dog, it’s worth ordering room service. Check-in with your dog, who gets a stuffed bourbon bottle dog toy and dog bed crafted out of a barrel. Whiskey Row also has the two year old Hotel Distil, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, boutique properties that don’t fit cookie-cutter brands. ![]() Louisville has many options, and the best are clustered around downtown’s historic Whiskey Row, the touristic heart of the city, home to distilleries or visitor centers from Rabbit Hole, Angel’s Envy, Kentucky Peerless, Evan Williams, Michter’s, and Old Forester. If that were the only dog park bar in town it would be impressive, but there’s also Club K9 Dog Bar, with a 1½ acre fenced run, separate small-dog play area, splash pool, human food trucks, 7,000-square feet of leash-free indoor space, and of course, a full-service bar (same day pass and vaccination policies as PG&J).īut you don’t need to go off-leashing to enjoy whiskey with your pup. ![]() Hank’s Good Boy Old Fashioned uses Four Roses bourbon with simple syrup and orange and chocolate bitters (day passes are $10, and since they require proof of your pup’s vaccinations, out-of-town visitors have to pre-register online). The focus is craft beers, with a dozen on tap, but they have a basic selection of local bourbons, Tennessee, and Irish whiskeys, and all the signature “pup-tails” are named for canine regulars. There’s an actual dog park with an agility course and kiddie pools, but dogs are allowed everywhere, even bellying up to the bar. It’s huge, with an open pavilion, covered and uncovered picnic tables, and high tops made of old bourbon barrels. Welcome to Louisville! Start your trip in Kentucky’s biggest city with a visit to something few other cities boast: a “dog park bar.” PG&J is a full-blown, indoor/outdoor off-leash dog park and bar, and like all the best fur-friendly spots, it’s named for dogs (Paco, Ginnie, and J Roddy). Call it Southern hospitality, canine-style. But you don’t need a private jet to have a great vacation with your best buddy in Kentucky, where the nation’s richest whiskey culture offers an extraordinary level of dog-friendly amenities. ![]() The trend fueled the recent record use of private jets, and NetJets now even provides its staff with canine training. Indeed, demand for dog travel is so high these days that many hotels, restaurants, and attractions that once catered only to humans have opened their doors to pets. Some people love whisky, but most everyone loves dogs, and when vacation time comes, nowadays people are increasingly inclined to bring along the family pooch. ![]()
