🕯️ In memoriam
Ludlow's
1994–2003
“Cover bands, a patio, and the Brewery District at full volume.”
Music Venues · Brewery District · 485 S. Front St.
The Brewery District live-music bar (and its patio) that opened in May 1994 — a staple for music lovers over club dancers, hosting big regional cover bands and party acts like The Menus alongside local singer-songwriters running through classic rock, '90s pop-rock and crowd-pleasing covers. It wound down around 2002–2003 as Brewery District nightlife drifted toward the new Arena District.
Did you catch a show at Ludlow's? What do you remember?
The drive, the dance, the heartbreak, the summer. Add a memory of Ludlow's.
