Falls City Beer is delicious, a Louisville tradition and is now available in Floyd and Clark Counties in Indiana.
To celebrate the expansion, Rocky’s Sub Pub is throwing a party at their Restaurant overlooking Downtown Louisville near the Falls of the Ohio (where Louisville picked up the moniker Falls City) Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Join the Falls City gang for this historical moment in the rebirth of a true Louisville Original overlooking the birthplace of Falls City Beer.
The “All New” Falls City Beer is a recreation of the classic English-style Pale Ale recipe brewed here in the 1930s.
The party starts at 5:00 p.m. at Rocky’s, so head on over after you get off work and enjoy a delicious Falls City Beer this Hump Day.
If you can’t make it to the party on Wednesday, just make sure you check out Falls City sometime soon, because it is what Louisvillians are supposed to drink. Falls City Beer is now available at the Irish Rover, Third Street Drive, Flanagan’s Ale House, O’Shea’s, Patrick O’Shea’s, Buckhead’s, both Molly Malone’s and other local establishments

By: nickev | August 19th, 2010 | Category: Entertainment
Mr. Belding, aka Dennis Haskins, will be making an appearance at Sully’s tonight, starting at 9 PM, for the Saved by the Booze Party. We recommend you stop on by, drink a few, and be like Zack and give Mr. Belding the old heave-ho.
Rumor has it he is planning on getting blacked out hammered drunk. Remember, Mr. Belding was hilarious on Saved by the Bell, and I would dare to see he was sober while shooting that show at least 35-percent of the time. Just think how hilarious this man will be hammered out of his mind.
I mean, Mr. Belding is coming to Sully’s to have the time of his life. He doesn’t care about the repercussions. He’s the principal. Whose going to send the principal to detention? So look for Mr. Belding to make out with the biggest girl at Sully’s tomorrow night. Big girls pucker up.
Is he Joe Westin’ tonight? Hell yeah, he’s going strait javelin toss. Read up on our ‘Joe West Going Out Chart’ by clicking here.
Go to Sully’s tonight and start your weekend off a day early with Mr. Belding for the Saved by the Booze party. Do it.
If all of the above is not reason enough. The Pinkie Squad will be there. Mr. Belding and the Pinkie Squad. Ladies, you don’t want to miss this opportunity. I promise.
Did you know Mr. Belding sang, “Piano Man”? He does when he’s hammered.
Did you know Mr. Belding did stand-up comedy? He does.
“Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey…What is Going on Here?”

Pubs – Perfect Place for Suds and Grub…without the Club
By: Reggie P | July 26th, 2010 | Category: Entertainment
Bar, tavern, saloon, beer-gardening, drinking-hole…are all different names for a pub. Dating back to the pub’s early forms known as a “Public House” in many parts of Europe, the pub has always been a community based establishment that served its patrons suds and grub.
Some pubs offered lodging and adult entertainment for its customers: before during and after hours. “rum-runners” would often use pubs as a truck stop, so-to-speak, when making long distance runs during the prohibition era. In exchange for a hideout; the “rum-runner” would offer the pub wwner a case or two of the booz he was running in exchange for a little rest and relaxation from the law!
As most modern drinking establishments, pubs had to adhere to strict laws and often “bucked” the system when inspectors visited the premises. According to a forklore website, one pub was being inspected; the owner of the pub knew he would fail the inspection so he got the inspector drunk, gave him a room and the inspector got fired for not returning to work. The next day the inspector was bartending for the pub!
Speaking of bartending…most pubs have one bartender, who is usually second in command and well known by patrons, and a few waitors or waitresses. Pubs most often have a diverse food menu that is complimentary to the alcohol that they serve.
Some things never get old. Some things rarely change and for the pub this is an absolute truth!
In Louisville, KY, pubs are becoming more popular than ever. Hell, Baxter avenue has over six pubs in a three block area.
For my generation, the club scene is not so cool anymore. The pub is where it’s at. You can take a buddy, your girl/boy friend or even family. Enjoy some unique brew and or liquors, listen to soft music (in some cases, live-bands) all while chowing down on a good meal! I’ve listed some of my favorite pubs here in Louisville, KY. The rest is up to you.
From me to Da’Ville!
