#20 – Holy Grail (Louisville, KY)

06 Dec

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.
