With a menu that is bourbon-inspired and Kentucky-accented, Bourbons Bistro is a winner whether you belly up to the bar or proceed to the long dining room at the back.

This trendy spot represents the re-entry into the Louisville dining scene of Susan Seiller, who owned and put her stamp on the popular Jack Fry’s restaurant from 1987 until 2008. Chef Jack Beeson’s concise lunch menu is affordable (nothing over $10) and focused on appetizing yet healthy fare. (Reviewed 1/2/13)
Rye on Market, 900 E. Market St., 749-6200, ryeonmarket.com, $$, Full Bar. The food and cocktails at this hip, popular NuLu joint are amazing. That menu is brief, limited to four or five small plates and as many mains, plus a short list of bar snacks/starters, meat or cheese plates and fresh oysters; it’s largely locavore and changes often, taking advantage of seasonal produce.
