D.O.R.A.
DESIGNATED OUTDOOR REFRESHMENT AREA
Welcome to Louisville! In September of 2020 the DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area) went into effect in Downtown Louisville. The DORA welcomes visitors to stroll our many locally owned shops, boutiques, galleries, and experiences in Downtown Louisville. You can purchase a DORA beverage one cup at a time from one of our five participating establishments and carry the alcohol refreshment outdoor within the properly signed area. DORA drinks can be enjoyed everyday of the week during specific hours.
