Molly Malone's. Louisville, Kentucky
Molly Malone was known as the "tart with a cart," as she traveled around town with a wheelbarrow. She was a fish monger by day and a prostitute at night who died at an early age from a heavy fever. There's no way that woman could have smelled very well.

O'Shea's World Famous Pub. Louisville, KY (Highlands)
As you sit at the main bar inside and place your head on a swivel, you'll notice many pleasant things. For one, if you look up, you'll see a beautiful skylight, bringing in sunlight from above which adds to the light coming in from the patio. You'll also capture an overhang of broken apart whiskey barrels (it's cool).

McCarthy's poured its first Guinness in 1996. They pour them the right way, and they only ask for a $6 bill in exchange. Behind the bar, you'll find an above average whiskey and beer selection from across the pond, and you'll have no problem finding some local options, especially when it comes to Bourbon.
