Entry No. 48 — the Louisville file — filed under: late-night weird

Planet of the Tapes

Part cult VHS rental archive and part performance bar, this late-night venue serves craft cocktails using a silent paper-ticket ordering system so drink service never interrupts a set. Every Sunday night, it hosts the long-running Louisville Gore Club, screening underground horror and bizarre cult cinema.

The move: Settle into a table for Sunday's free Gore Club screening, write your drink orders on a paper slip, and flip through retro VHS tapes between scenes.
