In the heart of bar central of Louisville (aka where Bardstown Rd. and Baxter Ave. meet), there lays a quaint little establishment known as the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is an old church in bar central that has been converted into… you guessed it, a bar. The whole place is very blasphemous as you could imagine.

This bar top behind me is just one of the many examples.

For the most part, the bar has a very dark demeanor. But that’s ok, because the people at the bar have a very bright sense of enthusiasm for drinking.

If you continue to make your way to the back of the bar you will find a hidden staircase leading to the choir loft where little boys of Louisville were probably taken advantage of once upon a time.

The choir loft is even darker then the main level but this is where the action really is.

There are several tables for sitting and drinking and being social. I find that this is actually one of most sociable bars in the city of Louisville.

The upstairs even has its own bar. I managed to get this awesome photo with some good flash photography.

As with most people, when I am drinking at a bar I usually have to make room for more beer. So I traversed back downstairs and into the bathroom where the blasphemy took it to a whole new level. Above the pisser I found a portrait of The Last Supper.

I looked around and saw several more takes on the famous Da Vinci work.

Unfortunately ladies, my female friends tell me the ladies room isn’t quite as entertaining.

It was I who only a few months before was saying how I try to not attend my high school’s football games. But I will make one exception to this rule. If they happen to be playing for the state championship I will check it out.

My Scott County Cardinals had the privilege (if that’s what you want to call it), of competing for this years State Championship. Unfortunately, it had to be against number 1 nationally ranked Trinity Shamrocks. These guys show no mercy and Bob Beatty is an asshole.

When you are up several points and there are only a few seconds left in the first half, the respectable thing to do is take a knee. Not throw a bomb down field to try and score another touchdown before half so that you can secure your already secured National Title.

The game was a slobber-knocker. It wasn’t really fun to watch. The Shamrocks wrecked havoc on Scott County. It made the fact that the game was for the Kentucky State Title seem meaningless. It was nice to look around and see the spirit of the fanbase a county school brought to the game though. That’s what really made the trip to Western Kentucky’s campus worth it.

On a side note, I’m not really sure why the game was held at WKU. Typically the state championship match is held at UofL Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in Louisville.

I tried to snag a photo of the water tower before we went home. It turned out kind of blurry.
