Prime Derby Spot!!! The Julep House NuLu is a piece of history in the heart of Louisville's hip Phoenix Hill/NuLu district. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by authentic touches of our bourbon heritage and southern charm. The home is completely updated inside and out and boasts 3 cozy bedrooms, a spacious living room, bathroom, and a well equipped kitchen. Whether you're here for the bourbon, horses, work or play, the Julep House NuLu puts you at the center of everything.
This original brick home is approximately 130 years old, and has no doubt bore witness to all of the historic and progressive changes that have occurred in Phoenix HIll, NuLu, and the surrounding area. Immediately upon entering, you know you're in Louisville. The living room boasts a very large "map" of Kentucky, made out of authentic bourbon barrel staves, which is the perfect backdrop for group photos from your vacation; as well as a whiskey barrel bar from Peerless to help you craft your perfect drink. The interior has been updated throughout - it's a comfortable space to return to after a day of seeing everything Louisville and the Kentuckiana area has to offer.
Being frequent travelers, and lovers of all things food and drink ourselves, we made sure the kitchen and bar are fully stocked with everything we could think you might need to cook a full dinner, mix craft cocktails, or enjoy takeout from a local restaurant.
The private fenced backyard is the perfect spot to sit and swap stories or have a morning coffee.

Whether you're crossing the street to grab a breakfast burrito, a cup of coffee, or a late night beer; strolling up to Market Street for an amazing meal or local shopping; or knocking a half dozen distilleries (all within walking distance) off of your bourbon trail map, the location of Julep House NuLu puts you the center of everything to see, do, and eat in this amazing city.
Here's a list of some of our favorite spots - from steps away to a short drive.
DISTILLERIES - in order of distance from the home, are Rabbit Hole (0.5 miles), Angels Envy (.9 miles), Old Forester (1.5 miles), Evan Williams (1.9 miles), and Kentucky Peerless (2.2 miles). We consider all of these walkable. However, if you're going to hit all of them in one day, we suggest starting at Peerless and working your way back so the walk home is only 3 blocks. Evergreen is our favorite local liquor store, where you can not only shop, but also purchase samples of extremely rare and hard to find whiskies, and the staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable. Falls City Beer is across the street, 2 to 3 blocks north you can find Akasha Brewing, West Sixth Brewery, Goodwood Brewing, and Ten20 Craft Brewery. Just across the creek in the Highlands are Gravely Brewing, Mile Wide Beer, and Hi-Wire Brewing. No matter what your tastes are, be sure to buy a bottle or two to bring back. We have all the glassware and barware you need to enjoy your purchases in the comfort of your own private space.
EATING - Anyone who eats will be pleased with the dining options within a 10 minute walk. Dogebeans, Please & Thank You, and Quill for coffee. Bisquit Belly, Bandido Mexicana, or Toast on Market for Breakfast. Royals Hot Chicken, Grind Burger, or Feast Barbecue for Lunch. La Bodeguita De Mima, Mayan Cafe, or Emmy Squared for dinner. And those are just a sample of options that are a stone's throw away, and some of the best food we've enjoyed. A longer, but easily doable walk (or short drive away) you'll find yourself on Main Street in downtown known as Whiskey Mile if you head west, or Bardstown Road if you head east. The dining and shopping increase exponentially in each direction.
SPORTS/ENTERTAINMENT - Sports fans will be happy to hear that Slugger Field, The Louisville Slugger, The Muhammad Ali Center, The Frazier History Museum, and the KFC Yum! Center are all within 2 miles. Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum are less than a 15 minute drive. The Great Lawn just north of Downtown offers a variety of concerts and cultural events throughout the year, or a place to walk with river views.
The Julep House NuLu is super close to a ton of great restaurants, bars, shopping, distilleries and entertainment. You can literally walk to so much
