Guidebook for New Albany
Food Scene
Pizza!!! I grew up with pizza from this place it was just a few blocks away from my grandmother's house. I have fond memories of eating pizza at grandma's house. Whereas, as an adult, I'm thinking it isn't the most tasty pizza and has rather bland sauces (the toppings make their pizza), it is still a great place to go to for a quick pizza if you don't mind sacrificing a little quality.

A friend of mine owns this place and he is probably one of the best brewers in town. It has an industrial feel to it and is located in NuLu in Downtown Louisville, but the beer is top-class!!! Bring your pup (but not your children) indoors for a delicious brew.

If you know anything about the brewing scene in Louisville, KY, you know that Falls City is a historical brewery. Reinvented in the last decade, it has a really great brewer in Brewmaster Dylan and the beers may be nothing like they are before (which is a good thing), but very drinkable! I once had one of my beers brewed on their system and served commercially which was a huge honor. :) They have food too in the 502 Winery section of the tasting pub.

This is a combination of a winery, 502 Winery, and a brewery, Falls City, with food, as well. I have found the food to be overpriced with small portions, but tasty. I like the wine there and Falls City beer is top-notch!!!

Masterbrewer Joel Halbleib has hit the mark with barrel-aged beers. Almost all of their offerings touch wood in some way whether in the barrel or through wood chips. I highly recommend their beer and the brewpub is great too!!! Don't bring your kids to this one, but you can sit outside with your pup.

I went for a visit here and the first thing that always comes to mind aside from Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves was the three story elevator that almost gave me the fear of heights feeling! It is a well-designed museum; if the history of boxing and civil rights is your thing, you should go there.
