Located just two blocks from the house, Old Lou Tavern will be a convenient, no fuss option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Yes, it's a Tavern, but the food is great. They also have an extensive bourbon offering.
Avoid Thursday evenings after 9pm...that's college night and the scene will be a little over the top.
