Entry No. 18 — the Louisville file — filed under: speakeasy

Pin + Proof

Hidden deep inside the Omni Louisville Hotel past a mural depicting a woman gesturing 'shhh', this secret 1920s lounge houses four full-length private bowling lanes alongside a high-end cocktail bar.

The move: Reserve a lane for an hour of vintage pin-bowling while sipping the absinthe-rinsed 'Hard to be Humble' cocktail served off menus printed on the backs of liquor bottles.
