FOURTH STREET LIVE! ANNOUNCES MOSAIC NIGHTCLUB & LOUNGE!
Sleek New Nightclub, Lounge & Celebrity Hotspot to Open April 13
LOUISVILLE, KY (March 29, 2012) – Fourth Street Live! proudly announces the
addition of an exciting world-class concept to Louisville’s premier entertainment and
dining district – Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge. This sleek new venue brings a heightened
level of sophistication and glamour to downtown Louisville, balancing the relaxed vibe
of a lounge with the high-energy of a nightclub. Mosaic will occupy the former Hotel
space on the second floor of Fourth Street Live!, spanning 9,000 square feet. Job
opportunities were extended to all Hotel staff members with additional openings made
available to the public, ultimately employing a team of approximately fifty. The new
nighttime hotspot will celebrate its grand opening to the public on Friday, April 13.
At the heart of Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge is managing partner Vincent Martinez.
Martinez opened the first Mosaic in 2006 in Houston, Texas, enjoying over 5 years as the
go-to nightlife destination in the city. With its success in Houston, in 2008 Martinez
expanded Mosaic into both Baltimore and Kansas City, where the venues have been the
premier nightlife destinations since their respective launches, twice listed in SPIN
Magazine’s “101 Best Nights Out in America.” In each city, Mosaic earned a notable
reputation for hosting the best of national and international DJs, including the late DJ
AM, Samantha Ronson, Steve Aoki, and Kaskade. Additionally, Mosaic continues to
attract an impressive celebrity following, with past VIP guests including Rihanna, Jamie
Foxx, LMFAO, Lindsey Lohan, Lil Jon, Will.I.Am. of the Black Eyed Peas, Ashley
Simpson, Pete Wentz and Olivia Newton John. Martinez is confident that the Fourth
Street Live! location will be equally as popular with renowned DJs and his celebrity
clientele.
“Our goal with Mosaic was to provide a venue where guests can relax and unwind, as
well as cut loose and party, all in an atmosphere that feels refined, sophisticated and
indulgent. In doing so, we have been extremely fortunate to attract some of the best DJs
in the world, further elevating the Mosaic experience,” said Martinez. “I am extremely
proud of the strong following we have cultivated over the years and am so excited to
bring Mosaic to Fourth Street Live!. The City has a new nightlife hotspot and I am
confident Louisvillians are going to love it.”
Since taking over the space, Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge at Fourth Street Live! has
undergone significant renovations in preparation for its opening. Taking the already
beautiful venue that was Hotel, Martinez and his team updated the space with new décor
and notable upgrades including a sleek new center bar as well as a soft-seating lounge.
Continuing to host the best DJ talent, Mosaic will be open Thursday – Saturday.
Operating hours will be forthcoming.
“Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge is synonymous with best-in-class guest experience as well
as world-class DJ entertainment,” said Anne Webb, Sales & Marketing Manager at
Fourth Street Live! “We are so excited to announce Mosaic as part of Fourth Street
Live!’s dining and entertainment options, along with soon-to-be opened concepts PBR
Louisville, Gordon Biersch and Tavern on Fourth. 2012 is sure to be an exciting time at

LOUISVILLE, KY (April 13, 2012) – In preparation for its May 21 grand opening at
Fourth Street Live!, award-winning brewery restaurant Gordon Biersch today announced
significant milestones leading up to its debut: launching an on-site employment center in
anticipation of hiring approximately 115 new team members, as well as commencing
brewing their signature flagship beers at the in-house brewery. Boasting hand-crafted
beers, made-from-scratch food and a lively atmosphere, Gordon Biersch spans
approximately 9,000 square feet at the corner of Fourth and Liberty Streets at Fourth
Street Live!. When Gordon Biersch debuts in May, the venue will join a string of new
openings in the district, including Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge (opening this Friday,
April 13), PBR Louisville (Thursday, April 26), and Tavern on Fourth (late 2012). The
restaurant is approximately $4 million of 100% private investment between Fourth Street
Live! and Gordon Biersch.
“Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant is filling a key location in Fourth Street Live! and
we are very excited to be welcoming a new venue to our regional entertainment
destination,” said Mayor Greg Fischer. “Fourth Street Live! has become a central
gathering point for concerts, pep rallies and other community activities, and I have no
doubt Gordon Biersch will be a part of the vibrant activity in Louisville’s downtown.”
Gordon Biersch at Fourth Street Live! will employ approximately 115 new team
members across all positions including servers, hosts and kitchen staff. The Gordon
Biersch employment center is located at 400 S. Fourth Street on the second floor of the
district directly above the new restaurant space. Job seekers are encouraged to fill out

In addition to the new employment center, Gordon Biersch also reported the

Fritze, Head Brewer - Gordon Biersch Glendale, AZ, arrived in Louisville this week to
assist David Stacy, Gordon Biersch Louisville's Head Brewer. The renowned Gordon
Biersch team is brewing double batches of the five flagship beers, with four of the
German lagers typically requiring 4-6 weeks to reach hand-crafted perfection. Gordon
Biersch brews according to the 500 year old Purity Law, using only four ingredients in
every beer they brew: water, barley (or wheat), hops and yeast. Gordon Biersch
Louisville will always offer five flagship beers on tap – Golden Export, Marzen, Czech
Pilsner, Hefeweizen and Schwarzbier, as well as four rotating seasonal brews throughout
the year. Several “Brewer's Choice” selections will also be available on rotation.
