PARLOUR Nulu//Falls City Beer 

5.0

Louisville, KY
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $300

Founded in 1905 by Ben Schrader and a group of local tavern owners and grocers, the original Falls City was formed to fight a big beer takeover in Louisville. In 1906, Otto Doerr was hired as our first brew master and our beer soon began appearing in local taverns. Shortly thereafter, a bottling plant was added and Falls City became one of the most popular breweries in Louisville, KY. The Falls City Beer Taproom in the NuLu neighborhood recently underwent transformation as PARLOUR steps in for a collaborative restaurant venture. The partnership highlights the shared commitment to quality and community between Falls City Beer and PARLOUR. Falls City Beer has been a popular choice at PARLOUR restaurants, and this venture represents a natural progression of the successful relationship between the two establishments.

Awarded Best of Zola
My best friend & fiance planned a surprise engagement party for me right after my future husband popped the question in August! They rented out the entire brewery! We had about 75 people & it was such an amazing experience! The staff let my best friend arrive a few hours before my FH even popped the question so she could begin setting up! The staff was extremely friendly & easy to work with! The staff even went above and beyond in recommending DJ services & helped my best friend and fiance create the most amazing menu!

Shall We Dance Ballroom was the perfect setting for our traditional, elegant wedding. It has all the features of a venue that you need, a bar space for your bartender, a back kitchen for catering staff to work in, and the entirety of the space is a dancefloor. We loved working with Shall We Dance, and even got a free dance lesson for our first dance. Communication was always timely and flexible. So many guests complimented the beauty of the venue. It intimately houses about 60-80 guests comfortably. Medium-sized weddings are perfect for this space! We loved the open caterer policy too, so we were able to book whoever we wanted to supply the food, drink, and photos.
