Fourth Street Live is an entertainment complex located on the section of 4th Street between Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Liberty Street. It was opened back in 2004 in an attempt to bring some of the city's nightlife scene back to the Downtown Louisville area. Though originally met with some skepticism as to its ability to draw a crowd downtown, Fourth Street Live is now one of the premier nightlife hotspots in the city among both locals and tourists alike.
Businesses located inside of Fourth Street Live include Hard Rock Café, The Improv Comedy Club, TGIFriday's, Maker's Mark Bourbon House and Lounge, Borders Books and Music, Hotel Nightclub, and Saddle Ridge, among others. Fourth Street Live is also home to many local events and outdoor concerts, especially during the Kentucky Derby and the warmer months of the year.
