Heading to Louisville help me plan bourbon crawl

The Urban Bourbon Trail bars are all places that are specifically targeted to visitors. Almost all of them are in hotels. This is nothing negative. I like most of them very much. But if you want a local experience, do the Bambi Walk or some percentage of it.

I've been looking into this Bambi walk and have also been thinking of looking for a hotel that might be more in this area- it looks to be a bit south of downtown.

Maybe the suggestion of Breckenridge Inn would be perfect, it seems to be clean and reasonably priced, while being a little further away, it should be OK

I've stayed at the Breckenridge Inn. It's a decent place in a nice neighborhood.

The Sheraton is a good choice for visiting downtown, as you *can* walk across the 2nd St bridge right into downtown.

I'm not aware of any stairs. Consider it the way to get the best view of the city you can.

The Galt House is only 1.7 miles

Once you're across the river, hitting all but Bourbon's Bistro to do the Urban Bourbon Trail and see some of the best parts of Downtown it's just a 1.5 mile stroll. The longest distance between bars is 0.6 miles. It also takes you near to the Louisville Slugger Museum and the Muhammad Ali Museum. Ending at the Brown Hotel, it gives you a good location to grab a cab (it's not all that easy in Louisville, make sure you get your cabbies phone number, so you can call him later)

Lordy, a guy could die of thirst in that distance , I'll have to carry a flask:grin:

Tell me about it, we almost had to call for an airlift when there was still a place on the Trail that was at Slugger Field, a whole mile from the rest of the places.

I've often seen cabs queued up in front of the Brown. There's some parking for them across the street and maybe on Broadway.
