Kaiju — Restaurant in Louisville

I came to a comedy event and was super supportive. I was saying things like, yes!!” And “I agree” and, “you’re right!!” Those were the only words I said, quite literally! And was told to “stop talking so much” and to “be quieter” and “not speak” when I was really really truly and honestly supporting the comedians. I wasn’t heckling, I certainly wasn’t arguing, I wasn’t being disagreeable, I wasn’t being negative in any way, shape , or form. But yet I was approached by a man who told me to take up less space, to be quieter, and to stop speaking. It really, really hurt my feelings. Actually, I am beyond hurt. I’m so sad and discouraged, I’m heartbroken. I’m hurting, triggered, and defeated. My heart is literally broken. To be a woman and to be told that I’m taking up too much space when I have done nothing but try to be supportive, and to be told to be quieter when I was trying to be encouraging is absolutely triggering. I’m so so so sad. I thought kaiju was a safe space for me. And now it’s not. I’m heartbroken. I was really excited for this event too! I wanted to see all the comics but instead I had to leave early. I was met with being told to take up less space and to be quiet, even though my entire voice this evening was entirely dedicated to supporting the comics! I have no idea why this happened and I’m so so so incredibly sad and defeated. I’m taking this as a sign that I don’t belong here at all and that I need to leave Louisville. Maybe that’s true. And maybe I will leave. But whether that happens or not, I won’t be back to kaiju. And it kills my soul to say that. Kaiju broke my spirit. And I’m so hurt by what happened. Now I can’t go back because I’m so incredibly hurt and saddened by what happened in response to my pure joy and support and honor for the comedians. The comedians on stage responded to me by saying things like, “yeah this girl gets it!!” And “thank you for the support” and “oh man I’m so glad you understand!” But yet kaiju security wanted me to be smaller and quieter. And I don’t understand. I’m so so defeated and sad and disheartened. I can never go back. I want to but this has broken me. My...

If you like hole in the wall type places - this could be for you. It's nerdy, which is a plus. They have video games, pool, and offer an Anime night which they do once a month and show two different films or episodes of two different shows. It's very rare to find any local places that show or know anything at all about anime.

Parking sucks, as in most parts of Louisville they do not have a parking lot. You have to find a spot along the street. It's not really in the best part of town either, or at least that's how I felt when I got there. I had to use GPS to get there, and when I left, I couldn't get any service to get my GPS to work. I had to just drive around and hope that I found something I could recognize to get me headed home. They only have on bathroom for each gender (one room, not stalls), so you might have to wait a bit to use...

Best bar in Louisville in my opinion. They hold a variety of performances here from comedy and bands to my favorite the anime nights. Unlike a lot of other bars in town you can actually get more than hard liquor and cheap wells here. For example Sake, ciders, craft brews, and mixed drinks. My favorite is a drink they called unicorn tears. The themeing is great if you like anime or Japanese pop culture in general. The food truck serves up a delicious rotating menu albeit I wish I was open more often. When there is not an event going on it's a chill place to hang out drink play video games in their classic console room or play some pool. They usually show some good anime or pop culture show in the front by the bar and have a great snack bar to choose from...
