630 Barret Ave., Louisville, KY
Replaced Jillians and served as the name implies, a bar & grill space with a shit ton of pool tables. A back room would serve as a live music space with a capacity of 500 people. In a way you could call this space Terry's Last Stand. Despite leaning more into touring bands, locals would play there. Closed over a lease dispute in January 2022, with Alice Cooper guitarist Nita Strauss as the last live band there. It's been replaced with Railyard's Pub & Billiards while the back room for live performances remains vacant.
There was also a second Diamond's on Frankfort Ave. that also closed in January 2022, rebranded as The Fox Den
