"Tons of Culture"

Bardstown Road, from downtown to the Watterson, begins with a great selection of bars, including Phoenix Hill; Molly Malone's; O’Shay's; and Wicks pizza. The road then turns to restaurants with food selections from almost everywhere in the world. Local businesses, such as tattoo parlors, skateboard shops, bicycle shops, boutiques, thrift stores, music stores, and hippie shops, are scattered throughout this section of road. Contributing to businesses on Bardstown Road is what helps keep Louisville weird.

Be aware of the overhanging lane light restrictions on Bardstown Road. You will notice that the road does not have a solid yellow line or distinct lanes painted on the road. Above the road, you will notice a box that directs what each lane is being used for at that time. A red X means do not drive in this lane. A flashing yellow X means that lane is to be used as a left turn lane. A green X is for driving. This may be dangerous for those who have never driven on Bardstown Road.

No on-street parking from 4pm-6pm. Parking at the meters on the street is free after 6pm. Many free parking spots can be found in alleys behind the businesses. Watch signs for no parking zones, business parking only, and residential street parking only.

"Epitome of Suburbia"

Bardstown road is really the place to go for leisure sports activities. Charlie Vettiner Golf Course, and a huge soccer complex are all part of the fun. I played many soccer tournaments there and really love the natural beauty of the area. Parking is free and the locals a friendly. What more could you want?!

"Hip Road for Hip People!"

The Highlands off of Bardstown Rd is a blast for anyone looking to have some fun! There are many locally owned shops on both sides of the street, featuring products for adults and kids. Pets are always welcome to accompany their owner, and the friendly atmosphere is great!
