Today's Reason To Drink

Jimmy's On The River has closed its doors forever. It's a sad, sad day when a bar closes. It really was never the same since it opened last year under new management. I hear that the folks from The Menu (in New Albany) are looking to buy it, perhaps make it a more upscale place. It has one of the best views in town. Can't beat that outside deck facing the Ohio and overlooking the Louisville skyline.

I've had some great memories at that place. Remember the $1 beers just about every day? Remember when bands would play upstairs and the whole floor would shake? Remember their buffalo chicken tenders on top of tortilla chips? Remember the River Frog? Memories ...

you're completely right...it never was the same after it closed and re-opened under new management. apparently they ran all of the "riff raff" out. unfortunately, the riff raff is what made it such a cool place to hang out.

not over zealous karaoke.

Sad to see Jimmy's go but glad the riverfrog has croaked. That green thing was nasty.
