Goodbye to Gravely Brewings Baxter Avenue Patio, Hello to Elianas Honduran Food at NuLu Taproom
Before Gravely Brewing moves to NuLu, let’s take a moment to say goodbye to the brewery’s epic patio as we know it.
When Nathaniel Gravely opened the music-themed brewery in Phoenix Hill in 2017, he was drawn to the Baxter Avenue building partly because of two limestone caverns that came with the property. As a bonus bit for a new brewery, the caverns were once used to age barrels of beer.
Eight years later, the duo of hollows nestled within a grassy hillside still wow as a backdrop for beer-sipping on a busy street.

After eight years, Gravely Brewing, 514 Baxter Ave., will move its taproom to a location in NuLu.Up steep sets of steps, you’ll find another secluded patio that feels enmeshed in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood. And you’ll see one of the cooler views of Louisville’s cityscape.
On a recent trip to Gravely, 514 Baxter Ave., the brewery’s soon-to-be general manager Sammie Ashby said those who know about the upcoming move share one common comment: They’ll miss the patio here.

But, this location will stay put for brewing and distributing. And Gravely has plans to repurpose the property, according to a news release.

The current location also offers a peek at food you’ll find at the new taproom, set to open later this summer at 905 E. Main St.
Eliana's Honuran Cafe opened in September at Gravely Brewing and will move to the brewery's new taproom in NuLu.Eliana’s Honduran Cafe opened out of a food truck on Gravely’s patio in September.
Eliana’s, which serves appetizers like chorizo queso and chips and yuca fries, tacos, burritos, and Honduran specialties, follows a line of popular food vendors pairing up with Gravely.

Eliana’s will make the move to Main Street, where the concept will have a permanent indoor space.
The Honduran fare is meant to pair well with Gravely's ever-changing lineup of beers, including its "core-four piece band" of brews: A New England IPA called "Debaser," a West Coast IPA dubbed "Power Chord," a Mexican lager called "La Bamba," and "Doc's Hefe," a classic German brew.
