I capitalized MY because I only write about things that I have personally experienced in and around the Derby and like the Derby my trips to Louisville have been steeped in tradition. I found early on a few places I love in Louisville and I have stuck with them year in and year out.
 
Thursday night – my first night in usually - I like to enjoy a casual place and I find that Molly Malone's on Baxter Ave. is a perfect way to ease into the weekend. When you arrive at this Irish Pub you immediately get the feeling that it’s a locals favorite and the obvious reason why is the patio.  It sits atop an incline providing a cool vantage point to do some people watching and enjoy the evening with a cold beer. Irish or not this pub makes you an instant believer with its relaxed atmosphere and great hospitality.  Besides the view and beer, it delivers up fantastic food – from traditional fish and chips and corned beef and cabbage to my favorite – the steak and fries.  It also takes reservations – and on this weekend that is key! Dress is anything goes! What more could you ask for?  Here’s the link – make your reservation now!
