Proof on Main

Located in downtown’s 21c Museum Hotel, Proof on Main’s menu is a showcase for the bounty of the Ohio River Valley, featuring Executive Chef Jonathan Searle’s soulful, ingredient- driven food. Fresh, local and seasonal ingredients inspire the ever-evolving menu. What cannot be used immediately is pickled or preserved and saved.

In addition to partnerships with regional farmers and producers, Proof on Main’s unique relationship with Woodland Farm allows diners to eat locally raised heritage meats and to sample the season’s best produce. Woodland Farm, which is located 24 miles east of the downtown restaurant, is owned by 21c founders Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson. Preserving the farmland of Kentucky and bringing heritage foods back to the table are among the couple’s greatest passions. Brown and Wilson collaborate with Searle to provide the restaurant with sustainably grown heirloom fruits and vegetables, heritage breed chickens, and Hereford and Mulefoot hogs.

The farm is also home to the couple’s sustainable bison operation, Kentucky Bison Company, which supplies Proof on Main and other restaurants around Louisville with hormone-free, grass-fed bison.

To complement the culinary creativity, Proof on Main’s signature cocktail list includes original recipes inspired by the season (and sometimes current exhibitions in the 21c Museum), using fresh juices, inventive infusions and house made tonics. Proof on Main’s spirit collection emphasizes small batch, artisanal craftsmanship from around the world and includes an impressive selection of more than 120 of Kentucky’s finest Bourbons, some bottled exclusively for Proof on Main as part of the 21c Selects private spirits program.
