The Toy Tiger

The Toy Tiger was a shady bar/club on Bardstown Road just south of I-264 throughout the 80s and 90s. It hosted a lot of influential national acts as well as local acts. Well known for it's large neon sign out front, the logo/sign image can be found on 'vintage' shirts and stickers from several vendors. Long live the wet t-shirt contest.
