When it’s not Thirsty Thursday, Faded Friday or Smashed Saturday, there are — believe it or not — other things to do on Fourth Street Live!
While many of the dining establishments at the nightlife hotspot have bitten the dust in recent months, others are still kicking. Hard Rock Cafe this evening revealed the new selection of foods and beverages that will await hungry — and thirsty — Cards when they return from summer vacation.
This event marked the first time since the restaurant’s 2004 opening that it has changed its menu. 30 food and drink offerings were added. The changes have been going live in restaurants across the globe since March, but they have arrived in Louisville this week.
Check out the new menu or the photo gallery below to see some of the new offerings in action:
- The Big Kablue-na, a popular blue pina colada served at Hard Rock.
- The Hurricane, a mango flavored offering with Disaronno.
- A variety of mixed drinks with chips and salsa.
- A server shows off the berry press, a rum drink being added to the menu.
- A berry press in its natural habitat (my glass).
- The full portions of everything we taste-tested tonight.
- George Lindsey of the Lambert and Lindsey show introduces the 102.3 The Max featured artist, Katy Tiz.
- Katy Tiz performs soulfully for a full audience.
- Everyone at the media dinner seemed to be having a really good time.
- The peeps from Mainline Broadcasting really enjoyed everything on the menu.
- Special events coordinator Billy Garland and the chef who made the feast possible.
- A new dessert being added to the menu (contains alcohol).
- Always room for dessert.
