Trixie's
6112 & 6114 Preston Hwy, Louisville, KY
Strip Club that also dabbled as a live music venue for many years in the Preston Hwy./Okolona area. Walking in the space the strip club would be to the left and the stage would be to the right, with no walls so one could watch strippers if they got bored with the live music. This space, along with Diamond Pub & Billiards, were major spaces for Terry Harper to book in the 2010s. Musically this space leaned heavily into south end metal, nu-metal and horrorcore with the odd other genre or novelty act popping in.
On May 1 2016, Eyehategod performed at the space and infamously vocalist Mike Wiliams nearly died that night due to liver failure.
In 2018 Trixie's would rebrand their live stage setup as "The Tiger Room" to drum up that Toy Tiger nostalgia. The stages would be swapped and walled off (left of the entrance would be the live stage while right of the stage would be the strip club). However, this change would not catch on and Trixie's would close in the Fall of 2019. The space would be auctioned off and initially was going to re-open as a youth center of all places.
It would be re-bought and opened as Habana Blues in 2022, which remains as such today.
