I was eating brunch across the street at Sarino and my girlfriend and I started wondering why all these people kept stopping at this store to look at stuff. So after brunch we walked over and into What The Lou and I see why people were stopping! There was such a trove of treasures to behold! CDs and Vinyls VHS and DVDs and vintage clothes and oddities and all sorts of throwbacks playing on old CRT TVs. Def. good vibes. Got some new CDs for my car that should hold me over the next decae.

Great locally owned store specializing in 00 & 90's popular fashion and other media items. Also a good selection of Louisville-centric items also. Many local artists have items on display and for sale in the store. Friendly store service and great location to walk to other local business for food and drinks. Parking is easy to find without paying a meter. They even sports selection of retro video games, comics, tapes, CDs, vinyl music stickers, posters and more. Located near several restaurants, this is a great place to visit.

This shop is a must add on your list of nostalgic vintage adventures! In my experience, the owners are knowledgeable and friendly. You really never know what you’ll find because their selection is constantly being updated with new to you things. There’s clothing, records, toys, home goods, comic books, dvds, cds, vhs tapes, art and more! Some things are local too so just ask. I will say the prices for what I’ve bought were all very reasonable.

Went here for a comedy show and had a great time. Loved the vibe of the small venue. Great use of the space outside of normal business hours. Will be looking at more upcoming events here as the experience was excellent. They don't sell alcohol or food so come prepared.
