The Gillespie

This place is beautiful! I was really surprised when I went to Unilocal’s Art in Action event amd saw how big and spacious it is. Definitely good for events and weddings.

We thought the Gillespie was a beautiful, vintage venue for special events. The rooms were spacious without seeming like a cavern and had intimate places for tete-​a-​tetes. The facilities were clean and in good working order (always a must for me because I visit them frequently).
The interior is gorgeous with the large hanging chandeliers, the plaster bas relief molding and signature diamond floor. Did not know it was originally a bank!
With the second floor mezzanine overlooking the first floor main ballroom, there is plenty of places to party.
The entrance and front lobby are stunningly vintage including the elevator that slowly makes its way up to the large 4^th floor event area.
The security staff at the event made me feel very comfortable when entering and exiting. I don’t know if this was a part of the Gillespie or set up by Wonder Woman Emily and her Super Hero Louisville Unilocal Team, but it was a nice touch to have security at the door.

What a beautiful venue! The chandeliers are stunning and the space is incredible! It has been years since I last walked inside but I was amazed yet again!
I highly recommend this for a venue space of any kind!!!

Came here for a Unilocal art event. The space is older, which shows in some outdated fixtures, plaster, and rickety elevator. I understand it is vintage, but buildings require upkeep and maintenance (which is usually costly). The downstairs did have a good balcony and had plenty of space.
The upstairs, on the other hand, is beautiful with open space and wood floors.
I didn’t check out the restrooms while I was here.
Overall, okay location.
