Fourth Street Live!

Four stars for the live concert they have in the middle of all the bars (bottom floor). It's a typical nightclub scene, which I'd give 2 or 3 stars to. However, they had a concert that night and it was a lot of fun!

I love a covered gathering space. During our visit it was hit or miss if businesses were open and there were some shuttered businesses. Fun and eye catching things abound in this area though. We got a kick out of the signs on the light posts just in case you felt too removed from bourbon they pointed you in the direction of a distillery.

It's been a while since I've spent some time at 4th street. But this Sunday my bestie and I decided to take advantage of the brunch/mimosa event down at 4th street. We had a fantastic time with the different vendors, live music and great atmosphere. I usually go to GB when I am in fourth street but after today, I think I will try the other different restaurants for a change!

It is a high school dance for adults. The awkwardness, the music, the vibe. Just not with the time.

Looked like an attractive restaurant tourist spot with outdoor dining. A lot of sad people talking to themselves and security was busy keeping them moving. Music played it looks pretty and I think it could've had promise. We came for lunch and there weren't too many people dining here. There is the stage so maybe they're all concerts things in the evening

As far as Louisville culture goes, Fourth Street Live! jokes are some of the lowest-hanging fruit on the tree. This district has been a punchline among locals for years, and aside from saying "LEWIS-VILLE," nothing marks you as a newbie or a tourist quite like talking up Fourth Street Live! to those around you. Honestly, my intention here is not to add on to the dogpile. It seems like there are some nice folks involved in the whole affair and the 2020s in particular have surely been challenging for everyone involved. But if out-of-touch journalists are going to keep presenting Fourth Street Live! as the core of Louisville's nightlife... well, the rest of us are going to have to keep setting the record straight. There used to be a lot more to this district. Hard Rock Cafe operated out of here, Jim Beam had an "urban stillhouse" with tours and the like, there was a mall-style food court, etc. It was never great, but the appeal was understandable at one point. In recent years, the number of tenants has dwindled considerably and the complex is in sad shape, reminiscent of a dying mall that's just trying to hang on for one more year. Don't expect any bargains, though; despite being in this rundown environment and being drastically outclassed by competitors across the Louisville Metro, the tenants of Fourth Street Live! have a tendency to price their menus as if they're on the Universal Studios CityWalk. Seriously, if you're visiting and want an authentic taste of Louisville, this isn't it. You want Butchertown, Nulu or Frankfort Avenue. I am not a fan of the Highlands overall but even that neighborhood is a better option. Fourth Street Live! might seem flashier on the surface, but even at night, the neon can only cover up so much.

We were here on Friday weekend. This place call 4 street live. But we did not see anything live performance at this place. We saw many people wondering around. I was expecting at least the live music. It is Friday night. Should have some something. But nothing happened. The street do have a lot of place to drink. Including local Kentucky bourbon. They have Jim bean, S&SC, Hard Rock, TGI Friday. Many drinks place. I bet you ice cream place will be popular and there is one and is long line because they are the only one that under aged people can enjoy. The entire street was block for pedestrians only.

Went to Fourth Street Live to hear the local Band, Most Wanted on Friday evening. It was a very eclectic crowd with a fun atmosphere, great music, dancing, food and drink available and an all around good time. This venue has been a staple in Downtown Louisville for years and it has been a while since we have been there. Due to the location there are lots of folks (out of towners) who are just out strolling while they are staying in downtown Louisville. So there is that sect of the population, there are folks who follow the band at the venue, folks who have come to have dinner in one of the resturants or catch a drink with a friend and there are homeless as it is an outdoor venue without a charge to enter and in the middle of downtown. It is actully a section of 4th street that is blocked off to traffic with the stage set up in the middle of the street. Great thing about it is it is covered space so rain is not a concern but it can be really hot or cold depending on the time of year. You can get a drink or food from any of the surrounding resturants and bring it outside to the music area and as well as purchase a drink from one of the vendors in the outdoor area. There is a parking garage, entrance on 5th street with elevators that take you directly to the venue or there is street parking. It is a fun venue that offers so much, whether you are walking through or coming to hang for the night. There are multiple picnic tables set up in front of the stage, a dance area and a live camera showing the band, the dance area, etc., that can be fun to watch people dance so they can get on camera. We actully took our bag chairs and put them in an area where we could see all that was going on during the evening. It has changed over the years but really a unique spot to hear some music, have a drink, watch people and or have a bite to eat. Give it a try.

It's the typical bar scene been there done that. However, the band was really good. Mainly for the younger crowd 20ish or so...

Great but very crowded Cinco de Mayo festival. Lots of excellent restaurants including TGIFriday's & a post office nearby
