Ward 426 4.61

Born out of a passion for exceptional food and gracious service, Ward 426 brings an easygoing elegance to one of Louisville's historic neighborhoods. Chef Shawn Ward's down-to-earth approach to upscale dining utilizes the freshest local ingredients in dishes that showcase the peak flavors of the season in simple yet unexpected ways.

Lunch and dinner menus are accompanied by a full complement of wines and seasonally changing cocktails, while an extensive beer list features selections from some of the area's outstanding microbreweries. Guests are invited to enjoy drinks and a small plate menu in the restaurant's lounge and patio areas.

Opened in 2014, Ward 426 is a partnership between longtime friends Dean Corbett and Shawn Ward, along with Nirmesh Agrawal, former General Manager at Corbett's. Bittner's of Louisville redesigned the space with reclaimed wood, rich upholstery and brass accents for a warm and intimate experience.
