Highlands Tap Room
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
Dive bar on Bardstown Road that hosts free shows, albeit 21+ only. The original space became Time & Space while the current space has been active since 2014. At one point the Taproom had a claw machine full of porn, anal beads and a fist dildo.
Notably the space hosts Metal Mondays (curated by Brian Omer) and has hosted afterparties for Poorcastle.
