The menu will include pasta, poultry, steak, seafood and flatbreads made in a 6,800-pound brick oven. While Jockey Silks history is shorter by comparison, it still plays a part in a time of Louisville’s history when downtown was experiencing a resurgence. First opened in 1972, the original Jockey Silks Bourbon Bar was a dark, old school bar with a late mob era vibe. No doubt it had character and a lot of memories embedded in its carved oak details, but it also represented the high style of the 1970s, a time of swagger and growth for Kentucky’s largest city. William H. Walker enjoyed a decades long successful run as a food and beverage entrepreneur.

In the early 1800s, the original Galt House was a residence owned by Dr. W.C. Galt on Louisville’s waterfront. In 1835, a 60-room hotel was opened as the Galt House Hotel across the street from the residence at the northeast corner of First and Main. The cocktail menu was designed to be theatrical, leaving guests with a "wow" factor. The "Smoke on the Water" cocktail is served with a smoke bubble on top to be popped. A special old fashioned is served to guests in a box filled with smoke. Aimed to model the classic supper clubs, Swizzle isn't just a dinner spot, it's a social experience.
