Hasenour's - closed



Sounds like this establishment was an institution, but not particularly missed, as there's very little online from nostalgic foodies. A brief description, from a vanity press book:

"Hasenour's: The History of a Louisville Restaurant Tradition" Featuring 65 Favorite Recipes from the Restaurant is a liberally illustrated nostalgic slice of Louisville life from the inception of the restaurant in 1934 to its closure in 1996, a casualty of changing times and tastes.

There's a link to the famous barbeque sauce.

Pinterest postings are dated, it appears the heyday was the late 50s to early 70s. That is one tasty Derby menu though.

The story says a funeral home is going where Hasenour's used to be. RIP indeed.

Mint Julep
  • 6 mint leaves
  • 1/2 oz. simple syrup
  • 2 oz. bourbon
  • 1 mint sprig
Place leaves in a tall 12 oz. glass. Add simple syrup. Muddle mint leaves. Add 1 oz. bourbon. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Add the rest of the bourbon and stir. Garnish with a sprig.
