North of Bourbon

Named one of the New York Times' 50 Best Restaurants in America for 2024—the only Kentucky restaurant on the list. Chef Lawrence Weeks, a 2024 James Beard Award semifinalist raised in a Creole and Cajun household, brings New Orleans soul to Louisville's Germantown neighborhood. The gumbo is dark and enticing, thick with smoked brisket and wilted greens. Fried catfish comes under a drift of Haitian pikliz. Over 300 bourbons and 26 signature cocktails complement the menu.
