Silver Dollar

Louisville


Gastronomically noncommittal – we'll call the cuisine California-inspired New Southern – but unrepentantly bourbon obsessed, the Silver Dollar will dazzle your taste buds. Feast on chicken and waffles, beer can hen (roasted game hen served on an Old Milwaukee beer can) or fantastic chilaquiles; chase it with one of a 'poop ton' of bourbons (240 to be exact).

The excellent weekend brunch is a madhouse.
