About
Proof on Main serves modern interpretations of Southern comfort food inside the 21c Museum Hotel, where the art on the walls changes monthly. The restaurant uses ingredients from its own organic farms, and its bar carries over 75 Kentucky bourbons.
The menu goes beyond standard fare with options like charred octopus and bone marrow appetizers, plus celeriac for vegetarians. It's upscale but unpretentious. Reservations are accepted, and happy hour draws a lively crowd. You'll find it on South 7th Street in Downtown Louisville. For another local favorite, Jack Fry's is worth a visit too.

“Proof on Main - fancy dinner”
I had dinner at Proof on Main with my husband and his cousins while we were visiting his family in Louisville, Kentucky. The setting is upscale, service is fast, and the menu offers a lot of variety with creative options such as charred octopus and bone marrow starters. For main courses, there are choices like herb-crusted salmon and celeriac for vegetarians, but my favorite is the pork chop.
