Third Street Dive
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
442 S 3rd St, Louisville, KY
Small dive bar in downtown Louisville that can serve as a palette cleanser to just about any space in that area. For a time it'd be a spot to catch punk bands and grab a $2 Mickey's. Obviously a 21+ only space. Holds only 100 capacity and a tiny space with rough sound. Think in the vein of the Highlands Tap Room trying to be The Melody Inn.
Not sure if the space even hosts shows anymore but it still remains as of 2024.
