Log Still Distillery to Open “Monk’s Road Boiler House” Restaurant & Tasting Room in Spring 2024.
Monk’s Road Boiler House is the newest dining restaurant and tasting room coming to Downtown Louisville’s Whiskey Row. The restaurant will feature a luxury chophouse-style menu curated by globally renowned Chef David Danielson, alongside highlighting the distillery’s line of Monk’s Road Bourbons & Gins and Rattle & Snap Tennessee Whiskeys. The restaurant will be located at the corner of 2nd and Main St in Whiskey Row Lofts across from the YUM! Center (former Bearno’s Pizza location) and is slated to open spring 2024.
Monk’s Road Boiler House brings a new dining experience to Whiskey Row. The restaurant takes inspiration from the famed chophouses and supper clubs of a bye-gone era with a menu featuring hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, pastas and crafted classic cocktails served in an elegant setting.
David Danielson, Chief of Hospitality and Executive Chef
Monk’s Road Boiler House guests can expect a two-level venue with the upper tier serving fine dining cuisine and the lower tier serving as a speakeasy-style bar for tastings and curated bourbon experiences. During concert season at The Amp, the distillery’s outdoor amphitheater featuring world-class entertainment (national country, rock, and bluegrass artists), a shuttle will also be available to transport guests from the restaurant to the concert venue for a comprehensive experience.
This restaurant and tasting room will embody the history of our distillery, reflected in its hospitality, craftsmanship, and atmosphere. Named after our flagship line of bourbons and gins, the moniker ‘Monk’s Road Boiler House’ is an ode to our historic distillery boiler house ruins brought to life through the architecture to give guests the feeling of being present during a Master Distiller’s process.
