The Last Refuge - Bob Dylan - NULU

A 144-year-old church in Louisville's NuLu district could soon be home to a bourbon tasting room, art museum and live music venue.

"The Last Refuge" will be a brand center for music legend Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door Spirits, complete with a whiskey bar and restaurant, two-story art gallery and live music space.

I'm meh on the whiskey and celebrity alcohol brands in general, but more tourism dollars for Louisville is good, and I'm always happy to see adaptive reuse of our few remaining historic structures!

I echo these sentiments for the most part. But at least its fitting to the local scene and the Bob Dylan brand doesn't seem to be overplayed anywhere. And as mentioned, it claims to be a huge infusion of money that will certainly draw an interest from Dylan and whiskey and art fans.

The challenge now is to actually make it happen. There have been too many ambitious announcements that sit empty or partially empty for months/years before falling into the hands of another ambitious developer. That all said, it would be awesome if carried out, and in good company with some pretty cool stuff in the making at this time in Nulu.

It feels like Bob is knocking on Louisville's door!... How does it feel? Like a complete unknown!....... but ready to findout.

Opening date announcement should be at any time now. That place is going to be pretty cool.
