Now open on the corner of Bardstown Rd and Speed Avenue in the Louisville Highlands, The Bard's Town is a truly unique concept: a bottom floor that consists of a 90-seat restaurant and 65-seat lounge, each serving our delectable artisan food and drink.  One minute it's fine dining...the next it's one of the best music and comedy acts in the country.   Refined yet affordable, The Bard's Town Restaurant is sure to having you coming back for more.   

What really sets The Bard's Town apart, however, is the second floor--home to The Bard's Town Theatre.   From the theatre's resident troupe dedicated to producing new works from Kentucky playwrights and beyond, to other theatre, poetry, and musical acts from around the country, The Bard's Town Theatre is a truly unique concept in the heart of the Highlands.
