Goodwood Brewing is coming to Whiskey Row

Turns out, it’s not just whiskey on Whiskey Row.

In case you missed it, Goodwood Brewing and Spirits is moving into the former Number 15 space in the W. L. Weller Building on W. Main Street. The 20,000-sqft, five-story bar and live music venue — along with its basement sports bar called “Last Place” — closed abruptly in mid-December after ~20 months in business.

Here’s what’s on tap for Whiskey Row’s newest spot:

  • Goodwood craft beer will be literally on tap, with the brewery’s line of wine and bourbon also available.
  • Musical artists will be regularly featured on stage, including talent from around the region.
  • Is the game on? Yes. Local sports watch parties will be regularly scheduled, featuring your favorite teams — think: Louisville Cardinals, Kentucky Wildcats, LouCity, and Racing Louisville.
  • A three-bedroom short-term rental property — so you don’t have to stay far from the party

The formerly vacant building underwent a $13 million renovation before opening as Number 15 in May 2023— the name was a reference to Kentucky’s place as the 15th state in the union.

Goodwood’s original Louisville location, on E. Main Street, will remain open.

Goodwood on Whiskey Row is expected to open mid-to-late January — just as soon as they can hang a new sign out front.
