Kaelin’s at 1801 Newburg Rd. will find a resurrection in late March or April when 80/20 at Kaelin’s opens after over $1 million and about two years of planning and renovation. It has long been urban legend that the restaurant’s original owners invented the cheeseburgers in the 1930s, and this new iteration will be remaining true to the history of the building, which is what drew them to the building in the first place, according to this article by Insider Louisville.
Louisville is getting a Tiki bar at 411 W. Chestnut St — just behind Crafts Gallery– and it’s opening should help hasten at least the feeling of a warmer climate. The Limbo opens Friday and will feature Carribbean music, cocktails, live entertainment (music, burlesque, etc), and of course, fun glasses and large shareable bowl glasses. It’s no surprise that a themed venue like this comes from someone with a theatrical background. According to the website, Olivia Griffin has a background in theater, design and event production, She moved to Louisville from San Fransisco in 2014 and wanted to bring the vibe of the Tiki bars there to the 4th St. area where she also owns and operates the hat and apparel store “The Mysterious Rack.” Hours will be 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.
