Kentucky offers many outdoor dining destinations that are ideal when the weather is nice and warm. Decks overlooking a lake and rooftop patios are wonderful in the summer, but we are typically confined indoors when the temperatures dip. 8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen in Louisville has solved this issue with its cozy addition of igloos, or “igLous” if you really love Louisville. Reserve your own rooftop igloo in Kentucky for an unforgettable winter evening.

8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen is a favorite spot in Louisville for its delicious food and drinks, beautiful decor, and stunning rooftop views.

Typically, the restaurant just shuts down its rooftop patio for the winter season, but this year the fun will continue, even in the cold!
The rooftop bar has added 6 "igLous" that provide a cozy and scenic spot to gather with friends.

They are situated near each other on the bar and provide the same views as the rooftop patio. And as the sun goes down, these igloos glow with twinkle lights and welcome in guests for the evening.
These igloos are popping up all over the rooftops of larger cities, including nearby Cincinnati and Nashville.
