About this business

Zanzabar is a local institution. Since its opening in 1938 it has changed templates many times, but it has always remained a local watering hole. The recent incarnation has it all, from old-school arcade games and pinball tournament nights to local farm-to-table food and live music, things have surely changed since those prewar days. The food and drinks are outstanding, but a lot of people come just to revert back to their childhood with games like Paperboy, Asteroids, Frogger and Donkey Kong.

It's a Louisville institution. I've seen some of my absolute favorite shows here. Great space, awesome pinball, and the best sound crew in town.

Alright. Here's the gist: They got rad ass aracrade games out the wazoo, tons of awesome pinball selections, one hell of a serious menu; they book great alternative music every single week, and both of the owners are kick ass dudes. That's hard to beat, folks. I actually stopped by yesterday evening just for a Chicken Caesar Salad. Best in the city.
