This week, several entities with Louisville ties were sold, including one of the city’s biggest hotels.

AC Louisville, which houses Italian eatery Bar Vetti, is located in the heart of NuLu and sold for $51 million. Nothing will change on the consumer end, but the local group divested its ownership. 

We also talk about recent bank mergers and acquisition activity, including the acquisition of Limestone Bancorp and Republic Bank’s purchase of a Cincinnati-based bank.

But in true Access Louisville fashion, we catch up on the news of the city’s food scene, including an official opening date for Jerry Green and Friends, a new club, and a fun bar/plant shop concept.

We also discuss a recent podcast poll regarding which side of the Big 4 Bridge is better. Who won? Turns out, it’s “popping” in Jeffersonville.
