Over the Nine
New eatery highlights Old 502 Winery, Falls City Beer and an emerging part of the city
here is an historic section of Cincinnati that, after decades of neglect and decay, has undergone a remarkable renaissance in the past 15 years, reclaiming its status as a center of dining and entertainment. It’s called Over-the-Rhine. In Louisville, there is an historic section of town poised for a similar rebirth. The process is beginning with investment just west of the Ninth Street Overpass, which for years has served as a sort of invisible barrier between downtown and the West End. In 2012, the Old 502 Winery (formerly River Bend Winery) at 120 S. 10th Street was joined by Falls City Brewing Co., a venerable Louisville brand resurrected as a craft brewery. Earlier this year, Kentucky Peerless Distilling had its grand opening in a former tobacco warehouse at 120 N. 10th Street.
