Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. Follow us on popular podcast services to never miss an episode.A look at the latest happenings in NuLu, a little pickleball, a little golf and even a small restaurant recap.All of the above are topics in a loaded edition of the Access Louisville podcast. LBF Reporter Michael L. Jones is on the show to discuss how Gravely Brewing Co. shook the local brewery scene by announcing that it would be moving its taproom from Phoenix Hill to 905 E. Main St. in NuLu. Gravely Brewing opened at 514 Baxter Ave., near Hull Street, in 2017. The taproom has been a community staple ever since. Yours truly will also talk about my initial observations after I visited Fifth Third Bank's new office in NuLu for a sneak peek. The 10,000-square foot space is on the fourth floor of the NuLu Yard development, a $115 million project being overseen by Weyland Ventures.Zak Owens, our digital editor, is also on hand to discuss how the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has signed a lease to move into 47,000 square feet of space at 515 W. Market St., a building owned by the University of Louisville Foundation, as reported by Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett.Owens will also talk about how Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg recently pulled the plug on a $65 million project for a large pickleball facility in Joe Creason Park in response to an outpouring of public outcry.Staying on the sports theme, I will talk about PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan visiting town earlier this month for the Kentucky Derby. He and another member of the PGA Tour leadership team were Derby guests of Jimmy Kirchdorfer, the CEO/chairman of ISCO Industries who is also a co-owner of Valhalla Golf Club. I spoke with Monahan and Kircdorfer before they teed off for a round at Valhalla. The main topic of conversation was how the PGA Tour is fully committed to having the ISCO Championship in Kentucky, which will take place in July. It will be at Hurstbourne Country Club for the next three years, with options to move the tournament to other courses in Kentucky. Monahan also said that he thought it was “when not if” Louisville will be able to host another major golf tournament after last year's PGA Championship took place at Valhalla. Keep in mind that the ultimate decision is made by the PGA of America, not the PGA Tour.I will also talk about how the ISCO Championship has already sold out of its 18th green hospitality suites with the event still two months away.And finally, we will top the podcast off with Jones talking about two of his recent headlines. The first is the future opening of Gaucho Urban Brazilian Steakhouse at 2013 S. Hurstbourne Parkway. Jones will also share the latest on Tavern To-Go, located at 111 E. Hill St.

UPCOMING EVENT: Access Louisville Live presented by Baird. Be on hand for a live recording of the Access Louisville podcast April 22. Details and registration here.A new pizza joint, a French Bistro and the latest on the brewing scene.All of the above are topics on this week's Access Louisville podcast. LBF Restaurant reporter Michael L. Jones is on the show to tell us about a new St. Matthews Pizza joint, Pizza Jones (no relation.) Pizza Jones will be located at 126 Breckenridge Lane, next to the China 1 restaurant, and is scheduled to open in early May. Gene Stein, co-owner of Pizza Jones, is the former co-owner of the defunct Pizza Guy brand, which closed nearly two decades ago.Jones also tells us about French bistro M. Peppers, which opened at 1306 Bardstown Road, inside the Bellwether Hotel, opened Tuesday, April 15. It comes from the team behind bar Vetti inside NuLu's AC Hotel. The ownership group includes chef Andrew McCabe and restaurateur Ryan Rogers, co-owner of Feast BBQ and Royals Hot Chicken.We also chat about Mashup Food Hall landing its first restaurant, the closure of the Oddbird Cafe in the Highlands and the latest trends in craft beer brewing. Brewing is still a growing business (despite troubles experienced lately by Louisville brewers) though it's not growing as fast as it was pre-pandemic, as our data showed.After the restaurant talk, we chat about music festivals — including the news that Danny Wimmer Presents, the promotor behind Bourbon & Beyond and Louder than Life, has committed to Louisville for the next 10 years. Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life generated more than $33 million in local economic impact in 2024 and drew more than 300,000 attendees, booking over 60,000 hotel room nights, as Jones reported. We also chat about the recently announced lineup of The Big Stomp festival, which you can find here. Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The city got some surprising news this week with the announcement that Kim Schatzel was out as president of the University of Louisville.What started as a Tuesday night rumor quickly evolved into a close-door meeting of the University of Louisville Board of Trustees on Wednesday. Louisville Business First reporter Michael Jones was at that meeting and shares his insights on the situation on this week's Access Louisville podcast. Perhaps most surprising was that Schatzel's departure was followed by the quick appointment of Gerry Bradley to replace her. Bradley is the third president in five years. UofL has experienced a rotating cast of leaders since longtime president James Ramsey resigned in 2016.Also on this week's show, we discuss the former Highland United Methodist, which recently hit the market. Star Auerbach and her father Rob Auerbach, co-founder of Rainbow Blossom Natural Food Market, had purchased this property in 2023 and were considering a boutique hotel for the space. But after Rob Auerbach passed away in 2024, Star says she's no longer able to do the project on her own — though she would still like to see someone else pick it up.Further, we talk about some recent Downtown property sales including Advocacy Plaza near the courthouse and the former MPI Printing building on Jefferson Street. We chat about development near Lynn Family Stadium and we've got an interesting story involving two bars in NuLu, both of which are named Taj.There's also some content from our sponsors at Baird. LBF's Lisa Benson has an interview with investment strategist Ross Mayfield — they're talking market volatility, tariffs, bourbon and other economic news.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

On this week's program, we bring you highlights from a public meeting and open house that took place at the Main Public Library on March 18th about the Downtown & NuLu Street Network Plan. Louisville Metro Government is leading a plan to advance quick-term action projects for streets in Downtown and NuLu, intended to promote walkability and safety for pedestrians and to serve as a blueprint for capital improvement projects over the next several years. The public was invited to come be a part of this planning effort by joining this open house and kickoff of the plan activities - featuring a presentation from Jeff Speck from Metro's planning consultant team! So listen in as renowned urban planner and author Jeff Speck shared his insights on reimagining downtown Louisville through the lens of walkability and why fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment is imperative for a flourishing city.

Doug Katz is a disabled veteran, a knife maker, and the CEO of NULU. He is on a mission to change the way people cut and think about cutting while helping individuals overcome challenges that inhibit their ability to perform kitchen tasks. Doug achieves this with the NULU. The NULU is an adaptive knife that Doug and his team are bringing to the disabled community to assist in gaining and maintaining independence for food preparation, as well as improving diet, nutrition, health, and well-being. The best part is that it also works incredibly well for able-bodied individuals or those aging into disability due to senior maladies such as arthritis. Their patent-pending design changes the nature of cutting by better placing the control and cutting areas for more efficient and ergonomic use. Through its multi-blade, multi-grip, customized-use design, the NULU provides users with the ability to grip and cut in the way that best suits their individual needs and limitations. It is truly a transformational approach that they want to get into the hands of anyone who can benefit. Doug is also active in the lending industry with a boutique practice where he provides residential loans for both owner-occupancy and investment. Through OnTime Mortgage, he offers all types of loans for buyers and homeowners, with a focus on veterans.

Douglas Katz is a West Point graduate, a disabled Army veteran, and a culinary enthusiast.  The problem for Doug was that, like millions of those who suffer from limited mobility, he struggled to use kitchen utensils that require upper extremity strength.  Aided by friends and other veterans, Doug took to his workshop to invent a new type of kitchen knife — the NULU knife — the first product in a series of “adaptive” gear he plans to introduce. Ergonomically made, the NULU blade is located beneath the handle, allowing users' shoulders, arms, and hands to remain neutral, reducing stress on their joints. NULU delivers a better cutting experience and makes cooking accessible for everyone. Doug is utilizing Kickstarter to crowdfund the NULU knife. If you'd like to see the NULU knife in action, visit the product's Kickstarter page at tinyurl.com/MMR-Knife. There are less than two weeks before Doug's Kickstarter campaign closes, so if you're looking for a great holiday gift for family and friends — or for yourself — the time to act is now.  Doug's story is an inspiring example of how innovation, perseverance, and purpose can drive entrepreneurial success. By addressing real-world problems, building a solid team, and staying committed to a greater purpose, Doug exemplifies the potential of entrepreneurship to change lives — not just for customers but for communities as well.

With a mission to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, he set course to develop one-of-a-kind expressions of American whiskey. Through its signature core offerings – Cavehill Four Grain Triple Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, Dareringer Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in PX Sherry Casks, and Heigold High Rye Double Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon – along with its innovative Founder's Collection series, stands as the best example of innovation and craft distillation in the country. This distinction is highlighted by its use of truly singular mash bills, signature malted grains, and custom-made, hand-selected, toasted & charred barrels. The state-of-the-art distillery is a cathedral to the art and science of whiskey making and is located in the Nulu neighborhood in heart of downtown Louisville. Designed as a true craft distillery designed to scale, it produces 27,000 barrels every year. Since opening in 2018, it has been heralded as the "Architectural Icon" of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and was recently named "World's Leading Bourbon Distillery Tour" by the World Travel Awards. In 2022, Kaveh was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame's 20th anniversary class, cementing his place among industry pioneers and visionaries.

A couple recent real estate deals allow plans for a proposed 27-story tower to move forward. And we chat about those transactions on this week's Access Louisville podcast. LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett is on the show to talk about New York City-based Zyyo's latest moves toward building the facility, as it has closed deals to purchase 140, 138 and 136 W. Market Sts., according to deeds filed with the Jefferson County Clerk's office. The transactions totaled more than $4 million.As Business First first reported in July, the properties are where Zyyo, in partnership with Hawley, Minnesota-based TruVine Companies, is planning to build the tower. It's known as One Forty West, and will feature a 300-room hotel at the corner of 2nd and Market streets.“Next steps for the development include demolition, site prep and design. We are managing negotiations with a number of brands, all of which are super excited with our program and vision.

We've got a little bit of everything on this week's Access Louisville podcast.To start off the show, we chat about what Louisville and Kentucky had offered the Sundance Film Festival. As we've reported multiple times in the last year, Louisville had been in consideration for the legendary film festival but that is no longer the case. That said, LBF Reporter Michael L. Jones did recently get his hands on what had been offered by the city and state to bring Sundance here: An incentive package valued at $73M.After that, we get into some development and restaurant news.

Kaveh Zamanian is a cool customer.  The founder of Rabbit Hole Distillery, Kaveh's relaxed personality is immediately apparent. That's not to say that he hasn't felt the anxiety and strain of building a brand. As he tells it, Kaveh had spent many nights on his knees “praying to whoever would listen” that his vision for Rabbit Hole would come to fruition. A former clinical psychologist, Kaveh launched Rabbit Hole in 2012. The distillery's name is derived from Kaveh's “passionate descent into the practice of distilling fine spirits,” specifically rye and bourbon. The whiskey is produced in small batches at Rabbit Hole's state-of-the-art  55,000-square-foot distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, and presented in four core expressions along with the brand's innovative Founder's Collection series. In 2019, French spirits giant Pernod Ricard acquired a majority stake in Rabbit Hole for an undisclosed price. The deal accelerated the brand's U.S. distribution and helped it expand internationally. Kaveh has continued to helm Rabbit Hole and added a new title – Chief Whiskey Officer at Pernod – in the process.   In this episode, Kaveh talks about how his passion for whiskey became an entrepreneurial journey, how he assembled a team of industry veterans early into the development of the company and why he credits a strong support network as key to his career transition. He also talks about pitching 1,000 investors over the course of two years and how he got 110 to say “yes,” and his current work developing new products and brands, including Mary Dowling Bourbon and Mash & Mallow Whiskey. Show notes: 0:35: Kaveh Zamanian, Founder, Rabbit Hole Distillery – Kaveh speaks with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about the Nulu neighborhood of Louisville, where Rabbit Hole is based, the construction and capacity of of its distillery and how his love of wine impacted his foray into whiskey. Kaveh also talks about the bourbon industry's renaissance over the past decade and how distilling talent, if not funding, was plentiful; why he felt it was important to maintain his job in psychology early into the development of Rabbit Hole; and why he credits a strong support network as key to his career transition. He also explains why building a facility that matched his ambition was critical to his vision for Rabbit Hole, how the company forecasted demand and its capacity for contracting distilling and how he convinced investors with no experience in the spirits industry to back the company. Kaveh also talks about managing anxiety, the key elements of Rabbit Hole's brand architecture, how he considered an exit strategy while building the company and which decisions he regrets most over the past decade. Brands in this episode: Rabbit Hole Distillery, Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey, Nantucket Nectars, Culture Pop, Bardstown Bourbon

Is Louisville's lack of population growth a cause for concern? We talk about that on this week's Access Louisville podcast.LBF Reporter Piper Hansen recently finished a story examining population trends in Louisville. Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau released in June show Jefferson County's population decreased by 1.4%, nearly 11,000 people, between April 2020 and July 2023. Meanwhile, the Louisville MSA gained only 2,602 people (0.2%) while the Nashville MSA gained 80,929 people (4%); the Cincinnati MSA gained 19,5050 (0.9%) and the Indianapolis MSA gained 45,723 (2.2%).Sure, there are people who like Louisville the size that it is and they don't want to see the population explode like it did in Nashville. That comes with its own set of problems. But we're not exactly on that road right now — or even going in the direction of that road.“We're not going to be the next Nashville overnight, everybody can relax,”  Christine Tarquinio, GLI's vice president of talent, workforce and brand strategies, who launched the Live in Lou initiative, told Hansen for her story.After the population talk we switch to a few lighter topics, including: • Renovations at the Holiday Manor Kroger store and the groundbreaking of a new Kroger in Highview;• A couple of new shops around town, including Kawaii Candy & Karaoke in Anchorage as well as Goldie's "For the Love of Food" in Nulu; and• The end finally coming into sight for the Sherman Minton Renewal Project. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Will Paramount+ and Peacock team up for a new Hulu (a Nulu, if you will)?? Then we're dusting off our Jedi robes and heading to Disney+ to discuss the intriguing new Star Wars prequel The Acolyte.

Doug Owen of JLL discusses the office asset class and its current state in the Louisville market. Contrary to popular belief, the office class is not dead, and there is a desire to be in the office. The downtown and suburban markets in Louisville have different dynamics, with downtown experiencing higher vacancy rates due to a major tenant consolidating and renovating their space. Landlords are investing in amenities and renovating their buildings to attract tenants. Incentive programs and concessions are being offered to tenants, and landlords are advised to white box vacant spaces to make them more marketable. The future of the office asset class includes a focus on higher-end spaces, conversions to hotels, and the development of residential areas in downtown.TakeawaysThe office asset class is not dead, and there is a desire to be in the office.Downtown and suburban markets in Louisville have different dynamics, with downtown experiencing higher vacancy rates.Landlords are investing in amenities and renovating their buildings to attract tenants.Incentive programs and concessions are being offered to tenants, and landlords are advised to white box vacant spaces to make them more marketable.The future of the office asset class includes a focus on higher-end spaces, conversions to hotels, and the development of residential areas in downtown.Click to text the show!

Will the world ever embrace Kentucky bourbon the way it embraces Scotch whiskey? We chat about that a bit on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Bourbon Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt is on the show with news that Buffalo Trace is opening an attraction in London, England. Buffalo Trace Distillery London, a 2,000-square foot facility will be located at 32-33 Long Acre in Covent Garden in the city's West End. Plenty of Kentucky bourbon brands are trying to grow their international markets. And this will mark the first time that such a venue will be open for one of Sazarac's flagship brands outside of its original production campus in Frankfort, Kentucky. So we chat about which international cities might be a good fit for bourbon attractions. Tokyo comes up in that discussion considering that some big Kentucky brands have ties to Japan.After the bourbon talk, we go over a few other recent news items.Reporter Piper Hansen tells us about a recent law that will allow the city to perform random inspections on rental properties. Don't worry, this doesn't mean that inspectors are going to be randomly showing up at renters' doors. That just means the properties are randomly selected by the city for inspections and scheduled. Previously, inspections were carried out in the case of complaints. After that we talk about an interview that Reporter Michael L. Jones recently finished with Chef Bryan Emperor, who will lead the soon-to-be-open NuLu sushi restaurant Sake A Go Go.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast and can be found on services such as Apple Podcast, Spotify and others.

FAQ: How do I make small talk when you are on the road with a stranger?   Destination: Louisville, Ky   Today's Mistake-Getting lost in Louisville Travel Advice:  Pack half your suitcase with giveaways and gifts. FAQ:  How do I make small talk with a stranger when you are on the road?   Start small with a question or comment about the weather, date, location, or event you are both at or have just attended. Do they seem to have something in common with you? You can gently ask how they are doing today.   Today's destination: Louisville, KY Derby is on the first Saturday of every year in May. I've attended several of them with friends and always had fun. I miss those days, but still love the races. Churchill Downs is the place to visit when in town as that's where the race takes place, the fastest two minutes in sports ever! Even if you can't make the early week races, get dressed up and place your best. Check out Thurby Oaks, which is an alternative to Churchill Downs. On Derby weekend, you can go bourbon tasting or whatever. Be sure you get your big hat! Follow the rules regarding what you can bring. My friend and I always celebrated with a Mint Julep, even if not at the race. What's the recipe?  The four ingredients to taste are mint leaf, bourbon, simple syrup, and crushed ice. Once, I did not have a mint leaf, so I used oregano, which went over badly. It was a hoot! https://www.churchilldowns.com/tickets/   https://www.letsgolouisville.com/kentucky-derby-tips   Visit the museums on Museum Row, including Louisville's own Muhammed Ali Museum, the Frazier Kentucky History Museum, 21C Museum Hotel, KMAC (the Kentucky Museum of Art & Crafts), and Roots 101 African American Museum, all within proximity. The Speed Art Museum is also a fantastic contemporary art museum in Old Louisville. Stroll through beautiful Old Louisville, or take a guided history tour with Louisville Historic Tours to learn all about the local architecture and history. Take a food tour with Louisville Food Tours and experience the story of Louisville one bite at a time in the most scenic neighborhoods in town.  You'll learn all about the city's history while enjoying the sights, interspersed with stops at fantastic local eateries for food and drinks. With just 1.5 miles of walking spread out over 3 hours, it's the perfect balance of activity, history, and eating and drinking. Louisville has a fantastic theatre scene! Check out what's playing at Actor's Theatre, or if you're visiting during the summer, check out the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, the longest-running free Shakespeare festival in the country. Another fantastic entertainment venue is PLAY, a gay nightclub hosting drag performances and Queer-owned theatre productions. Take a sunset cruise on the beautiful Ohio River aboard Louisville's historic steamboat, the Belle of Louisville. Explore NuLu and shop at the local boutiques and gift stores in the NuLu neighborhood. It's a small area, about 2 blocks, but full of locally owned businesses. My favorite is Revelry, a gift shop and art gallery featuring unique creations by Louisville artists. Right across the street is Women Owned Wallet, a shop featuring only women-owned and created products. There are also two bourbon distilleries, Angel's Envy and Rabbit Hole! If you're spending the day in NuLu, book a NuLu Food Tour with Louisville Food Tours. Their 3-hour daytime tour features food that represents the culinary heritage of Louisville and Kentucky, and they also offer an evening bourbon food tour in NuLu, which treats bourbon as if it were wine and explores pairings of food, bourbon, and bourbon cocktails.  Lia Garcia, Founder and CEO, Let's Go Louisville   Today's Mistake- Getting Lost in Louisville   It was the night of the Kentucky Derby, and my college friends were all there, staying near Churchill Downs. One friend drove their motor home out to a bar after the event, and they left me behind by mistake. I did not have the address of where I was staying before cell phones, so I found a policeman and told them what happened. They helped me get “home” for the night.  Just as I walked in the door, they noticed I was missing. Today's Travel Advice: Pack half your suitcase with giveaways and gifts.

The health care company is consolidating its workforce into other buildings. That Humana news came on Monday. Then on Tuesday Louisville Business First learned that Fifth Third Bank is vacating its office space at 401 S. 4th Street  and taking space near NuLu. You might say: So two companies are leaving there office space — what's the big deal? Well, it's part of a larger trend of companies leaving Downtown in favor of other areas. Office workers aren't the only thing a city needs — it also needs visitors, residents and sports teams and so on. But, absent a large core of residents, office workers help support the restaurants and other establishments that give the city a key part of its identity. On the show we talk about some of the issues that Downtown Louisville faces in the wake of this news.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Louisville is famous for its bourbon distillers, but what about the folks mixing cocktails behind the bar?With Christmas and New Year's Day approaching, we thought now might be a good time to check in with one person who does just that each day.  Randi Densford, beverage director for Barn8 Farm Restaurant & Bourbon Bar.Densford tells us about how each season on the farm influences the cocktails, upcoming flavor trends and gives us some insight into how to make a career out of being a beverage director. Barn8 Farm Restaurant & Bourbon Bar is located at Hermitage Farm in Oldham County. In addition to being a restaurant, it's an attraction that showcases a bit of Kentucky's agricultural roots. Densford has 11 years of restaurant and bartending experience. She's a Louisville native and a graduate of Sullivan University with a bachelor's degree in culinary arts. She previously worked at Decca, a former NuLu restaurant and Bardstown Bourbon Co., a distillery with its own restaurant on campus. She's been with Barn8 at Hermitage Farm since late 2019, ahead of its opening in early 2020.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.
