Built on a site that served as a slaughterhouse in the early 19th century, Bobby Mackey’s is home to live music and, reportedly, more than a few souls long dead – including Pearl Bryan, whose decapitated corpse was found in nearby Fort Thomas, Kentucky; and Johanna, who allegedly committed suicide after her father had her lover killed 
The inside bar area with its incredible southern roadhouse feel. ‘You got a skinny kid named Dalton here?’ (That’s for the Patrick Swayze and ‘Roadhouse’ movie fans out there.) Close

We found this gem of a cologne dispenser in the men’s bathroom. Nothing says ‘let’s dance’ like the smell of Polo and hot urine after a potty break.

Shot of the hole in the basement area where the blood was said to have been drained during the site’s time as a slaughterhouse. Urban legend also has it that the head of a murder victim, Pearl Bryan, was discarded to the depths below.
