OVRDRIVE (downtown Louisville location)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new entertainment venue has opened in downtown Louisville.

Bluegrass Karting & Events opened its new OVRDRIVE at 112 West Jefferson Street, near Bourbon Hall, on Monday.

The venue has virtual reality racing simulators, projector-based ax throwing and virtual reality gaming.

There's also a Rage Room, where you can smash items you bring to the facility.

Owners said they saw a need for a venue like this downtown.

"We just wanted to bring something down here," said Justin Lewis, owner of Bluegrass Karting & Events. "Downtown is really hoping, and we got a lot of feedback that downtown needed more entertainment options."

It will also have the city's first self-pour tap wall once liquor licenses are approved.

This is Bluegrass Karting & Events' second location. The original venue is in east Louisville.
