The Brewery
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
Site of the Slamdek Blowout/Kinghorse Riot, and many other large-scale shows (including the first Insomniacathon in 1993, and the first Krazy Fest), during the 1990s. (owned by Katie Ryan's Dad). Also known as the Thunder Dome though that may have been a separate business name.
The venue was later leased out and turned into "Have A Nice Day Cafe", a place for soulless douchebags that has nothing to do with punk rock at all.
It was empty for a very long time in the early/mid 00s before reopening as a couple of other clubs through the late teens and early 20s.
