Jan 25th – Jan 31st
Welcome to The Louisville Plug.
Louisville’s getting hit with a winter storm tonight and most of Sunday, so this week’s Plug is built to be read by the fire. Whether you are hunkering down or timing a safe food run, here’s what locals are doing, eating, and talking about this week.
🍺The Local Rec
A Louisville local’s food rec, every week.
This week’s rec comes from:
Katie Niemiec @ kaitlin_nicole3
Katie is a local tourist and official Louisville taste tester. Her Instagram often documents her journeys around the city and the people, places, and food she is getting in to. If you are in need of some date night inspiration or some fresh new food spots, go check her out!
Their Rec: Atrium Brewing
Why they love it:
“My go-to spot is Atrium Brewing on Logan Street! Crave Wave food truck is also there so it’s a 2 for 1!"
“The flavors of the beers are unique and delicious and there’s something for everyone and it changes each week so you’ll always find something delicious.”
“The group that works there is so nice and I always feel welcome whenever I’m there.”
Her Go-To order:
“They have a rotating menu so I order something different every time but I always get one of their sours. From Crave Wave, I usually get their special but I always order their fries with a side of Crave sauce.”
Thank you Katie for the rec! Once I shovel off my driveway and the roads clear up I will undoubtedly head over to Atrium for some brews!
Be sure to follow Katie on Instagram and let her know if you make it out to Atrium Brewing this week.
