The Toy Tiger Louisville // Tank Top

The Toy Tiger of Louisville, Kentucky was home to all kinds of debauchery that involved scantily clad young women in some capacity. Ranging from wet t-shirt and sexy banana eating contests, this joint made no apologies for being sleazy and never pretended to be something it wasn’t and when the stage wasn’t being used to debase women, it played host to an amazing array of national touring bands as well as popular local acts. It’s iconic, animated Las Vegas style marquee stood on Bardstown Road from the time it opened it’s doors in 1973 until last call in 1999 and then it hung around for some time after that as the building sat empty, falling into disrepair and then being razed to make way for a gas station.
