What Noble Funk is
Noble Funk is a family-owned brewery and pizza kitchen that pitches itself as a place to learn about beer while you drink it. Its site invites questions from the bar and lays out the range plainly: light beer, dark beer, beers with fruit, beers with chocolate and coffee notes, and sour beers. The brewery calls its list "constantly evolving," so the taps you find will not match a menu you read months earlier.
The building has a story of its own. WAVE 3 News reported in April 2019 that the brewery's developers bought a former Kroger grocery store on South Second Street, which had closed in 2017, and planned to turn it into a microbrewery with food. The brewery's own site now describes a large finished space and an events venue it calls the 922.
When Noble Funk is open, and when not to go
Noble Funk is closed on Monday and Tuesday, so an early-week Louisville trip needs a different beer stop. The brewery lists Wednesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 10 PM and Sunday from 2 PM to 8 PM. Its contact page notes that the kitchen closes one hour before the bar every day, which matters if the group is counting on pizza as dinner.
The brewery also closes for private events from time to time and posts those dates on its site. Check the week before your trip. A closed door with a van idling outside is an expensive way to find out, because Transportation Only bills from the time our vehicle leaves our garage until it returns.
How a Noble Funk stop fits a Louisville day
Noble Funk's 11 AM opening on Wednesday through Saturday gives it a role most taprooms cannot fill: it can be lunch. A group on a self-planned day can start with a downtown distillery tour, ride a short way south to Second Street for pizza and a flight, then go on to a second tour in the afternoon. On Sunday, with a 2 PM opening, it moves to the end of the day instead.
That flexibility is why we suggest putting the fixed things first. Distillery tours you book yourself run on set times that are hard to change, while a brewery with a kitchen open most of the day bends around them. Build the day on the tour times, then slot Noble Funk where the gap falls. Send us that order and we will check the drive between each stop before you lock anything in.
If your group wants the bourbon planned for them, that is a different product. A private Louisville bourbon tour is a guided day with the distillery tickets booked by us, and it does not include brewery stops. Put Noble Funk on a separate evening with a driver by the hour.
Questions guests ask us about Noble Funk
Most questions are about group size and who arranges what.
Can a big group fit? The brewery lists event space for up to 400 guests, so size is rarely the problem. A large party should still contact the brewery ahead, because private events can close the floor.
Do you call ahead for us? No. On Transportation Only, the plan is yours and the brewery is your contact. We drive to the times you give us.
Can we all ride in one vehicle? Up to 14 guests ride in one van. Groups over 14 travel in multiple vehicles or a bus or motor coach we contract.
Booking a driver for Noble Funk
Booking starts with your dates, your group size and your list of stops. The hourly rate is the same as for any self-planned day, and the full figures sit in the FAQ below. Our transportation page explains what the driver does and does not do.
Pickup is at your hotel or your door in Louisville. We reply the same day between 8 AM and 8 PM Eastern. Requests after 8 PM get a reply the next morning.

Frequently asked questions
Does BourbonTown Tours run a Noble Funk brewery tour?
No. We guide private bourbon distillery days only, so Noble Funk is a drive-to stop, not a tour we sell. For Noble Funk we offer Transportation Only: our private vehicle and driver on the plan your group makes. The brewery sets its own hours, menu and prices, so confirm them on its site before you go.
Is Noble Funk Brewing open?
Yes. In November 2026 the brewery's own site lists it as open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 10 PM and Sunday from 2 PM to 8 PM, and closed Monday and Tuesday. It also posts dates when it closes for private events, so check the week before your visit.
Where is Noble Funk Brewing?
The brewery lists its address as 922 S. Second Street, Louisville, KY 40203, in the neighborhood it calls SoBro, just south of downtown. A Transportation Only booking picks your group up at your Louisville hotel or your door and drives you there and back.
Does Noble Funk serve food?
Yes. The brewery serves pizza for dine-in and carry-out, and its contact page says the kitchen closes one hour before the bar every day. On a Transportation Only booking, food and drink are paid to the brewery directly and are not part of our hourly rate.
How much does a driver to Noble Funk cost?
SUV for 1 to 5 guests, $100 an hour. Van for 6 to 14 guests, $150 an hour. 4-hour minimum, plus 6% KY sales tax and a 3% booking fee. Billing runs from the time our vehicle leaves our garage until it returns. Beer, pizza and any event fees go to the brewery. Because of the 4-hour minimum, a pizza-and-flight stop on its own may use fewer hours than you pay for, so the booking works best when Noble Funk sits inside a longer self-planned Louisville day, such as a downtown distillery tour before lunch on Second Street.
How far ahead should we book a driver?
Two to four months ahead is best. Fall and spring weekends fill first, so plan earlier for those seasons. We can sometimes build a day on a week's notice, but distillery tours may already be full. For Noble Funk, pick a Wednesday through Sunday date, since the brewery is closed Monday and Tuesday, and check its posted private-event closures before you lock in the driver. A large party using the 922 event space should confirm that date with the brewery first.
