Haymarket Whiskey Bar

From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

Formerly Derby City Espresso, Haymarket was opened to capitalize on the growing 'Bourbon Tourism' market and was well placed with new office space and hotels opening along Market street around 2013/2014 or so. The space was remodeled from DCE's layout to a more typical bar alignment which took away the area that bands had previously played in, but a new space out back was opened up with a larger stage and PA system.

The business closed up temporarily and stopped having shows relevant to the punk/hc community after a string of sexual assault allegations. The business reopened for several years though the presence afterwards was very different, closing for good around 2020.
