Dine Inside A Private, Themed Igloo At 8UP Louisville In Kentucky

Here at Only In Kentucky, we appreciate a good pun — and when that pun just so happens to pertain to a cozy, heated dining igloo? Well, color us impressed! This winter, guests have the unique opportunity to wine and dine in a private, themed igLOU at 8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen in Louisville. These cozy igloos are sure to take your dining experience to the next level, and give you a whole new appreciation for winter in Kentucky.

Here in the Bluegrass, outdoor dining is a way of life. We eagerly embrace this Southern tradition, with our restaurants offering some truly remarkable outdoor dining spaces. Case in point: the rooftop space at 8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen.

This Louisville restaurant boasts some of the best views in the city, and just because winter's here, doesn't mean the *al fresco* dining has to stop.

8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen has embraced the "igloo" dining trend adopted by so many restaurants, with their aptly (and *punnily*) named "igLOUs."

This rooftop restaurant has six beautiful, transparent igloos available for reservation now through March 2022.

Each private, heated igloo boasts a different theme and can accommodate parties of up to eight people.

While dining in your own personal igloo, you'll not only enjoy dazzling views, but also delicious fare.

Menu items at 8UP Elevated Drinkery include wood-fired pizzas, fried chicken sliders, steak frites, and smash burgers.

The menu also has some epic dessert options, like the flourless chocolate cake!

And of course, 8UP Elevated Drinkery has an expansive spirits selection, with an entire menu devoted to bourbon!

Winter is here, and instead of bemoaning this cold weather season, embrace it. And there's no better way to do winter in the Bluegrass State, than from the warm cocoon of these delightful rooftop dining pods.

Don’t pass up the chance to dine in an igloo at 8UP this winter! IgLOUs are open for reservations through March 2022, and more information can be found at the website.
