GQ recently dubbed Louisville the “Manliest Town in America,” saying “when it comes to the masculine arts—bourbon, baseball, bettin’ the ponies—good luck topping Louisville.” While the ladies of 21c would protest that more feminine pursuits are also easy to find, it’s hard for us to argue with the “manly” impact of the multi-story baseball bat down the corner from us.

Proof on Main and our friends at Garage Bar both got a shout-out – Proof’s Manhattan was declared the best in town, and Garage’s wood-fired pizzas got a nod as well. Thanks to GQ for the highlight!
