Established in 1934, by proprietor
D.W. Baird, Air Devils Inn was
opened immediately after the
repeal of Prohibition. After 70
years of continuous operation in
the same building, ADI is perhaps
the oldest bar in Louisville. It has
changed ownership several times
throughout its history, but
maintains a reputation for lively
conversation, excellent bands
(playing original music),
intelligent bartenders, and cheap
drinks.
The Air Devils Beer Garden was the place to see and be seen in the mid-20th century. Live music and nightly dances were part of the charm of the neighborhood hangout. Who knows? Maybe your parents or grandparetns met at the club long ago.
