Seidenfaden's
1134 E Breckinridge St., Louisville, KY
Dive bar that's been open since 1921 and has been a space for a lot of the 90s/2000s Louisville music scene. Along with the occasional show for a time, Seidenfaden's is a host spot to the Ridenfaden cycling club, hosted documentaries, art shows and was the space for The Louisville Gore Club from roughly 2010 to 2021. Wink O'Bannon was a longtime bartender there until his death in 2020.
Seidenfaden's hosted live shows for a time in the 90s and early 2000s before enough noise complaints led to the space only doing shows on rare occasions (and acoustic at that). Since the re-opening the space has hosted several shows, featuring almost entirely locals.
Jimmy Heck owns the building and ran Seidenfaden's for some years before Alex Cosby took over in 2011. After Cosby's passing in November 2021, Seidenfaden's temporarily closed down. The bar would reopen in the Spring of 2022 with Heck owning the space once again.
