St. Matthews burger restaurant to close after one ‘last weekend’

Less than two years after opening, Bourbon & Burgers is closing this weekend.

Bourbon & Burgers, a concept from Olé Hospitality Group, opened in March 2025 at 117 St Matthews Ave., taking over the former space of Señora Arepa in the heart of St. Matthews. The 3,600-square-foot building also previously housed locations of Quills Coffee and Steel City Pops.

The upcoming closure was announced Nov. 13 on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“It’s our last weekend, Louisville. Bourbon & Burgers will serve our final guests this Sunday, Nov 15, and we’d love to see you one more time,” the Facebook post stated. “Pull up a stool, order your favorite burger, grab the wings and a few shareables, and raise a glass with us.”

As the eatery’s name suggests, the menu at Bourbon & Burgers features “premium burgers” and “an extensive selection of top-tier bourbons,” The Courier Journal previously reported.

“Thank you for showing up for us from day one, for every cheers, every game day and every second helping,” the Facebook post continued. “And to our team, who made this place what it was: every one of them has been offered a spot at our sister restaurants, so you’ll still see some familiar faces.”

Olé Hospitality Group also owns restaurants such as Steak & Bourbon, La Bodeguita de Mima, Guacamole Modern Mexican, and Taco Luchador.
