We ended up parking on the pay lot, which had limited options other than overnight for about $20... obviously, that is not their fault though. The arcade seemed fun but we weren't able to play since we had no cash/cards. It definitely had a nostalgic vibe. Since we got there early, we were able to secure free seating, but most of the benches were about to fall apart; we moved a few times, eventually to the top of one of the bars which had great views. Drinks were okay, I didn't get to try their food unfortunately since they were slammed. The only thing I didn't like was that we paid for the event, got a wristband, but there were so many ways you could have gotten in without paying anything at all. I'd love to give them another try when there is no event.

By 11:30 pm though the place suddenly is crushed, and among the college tribes stomping in are some lithe girls in half-shirts looking at their phones, amidst guys that either look preppy or like country raccoons. Good vibes. Good service that is efficient over being friendly - and why not.

My niece's…read morebluegrass band, the Slaw Shredders, had the evening to themselves and put on an incredible performance! https://youtu.be/Xv5OErgsPSY If you like live music, but you've never been to Red Barn Radio, you owe it to yourself to go. Check their calendar and find a genre of music that appeals to you. Then you can buy tickets online or pay at the door. The shows are ten bucks, quite inexpensive for the experience you get. In its 18th year, Red Barn is produced by filmmaker Ed Commons, who has a fantastic eye/ear for upcoming talent. As the name suggests, it's a radio show, but it's also videotaped and aired live on FB and YouTube. Incredibly, last night was the show's 686th performance. Brad Becker, a musician himself, handles the MC duties and interviews the performers in between songs. His interview style is laid back and friendly and his interviews always add insight into the evening's entertainment Originally established in 1904 as a YMCA, in 1979 ArtsPlace, was founded after extensive renovations to 161 North Mill Street. It now functions as a music studio, performance space, and art gallery. As the show is broadcast live, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: * Try to arrive on time * Don't be surprised if you have cameras, tripods, and camera operators obscuring your view from time to time * Be enthusiastic with your applause, but keep your mouth shut while the performers are doing their thing. Red Barn Radio is largely an unknown Lexington treasure! Get out there and support it! Not sure about going? Check out Red Barn's YouTube site where they've archived hundreds of shows from the last 18 years.

For the past seven years, she has performed regionally as both a soloist and an ensemble member at a range of venues, including: the Kentucky Center for the Arts, the Frazier History Museum, the Norton Center for the Arts, the Lexington Opera House, the Iroquois Amphitheatre, the Brown Theatre, the Station Inn, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Kentucky State Senate. Blakeley has been honored by the North American Country Music Association, the Tennessee/Georgia Country and Gospel Music Association, and the Twin Lakes National Fiddle Contest. She can be seen touring with Tin Whiskey Sisters or performing locally with Yapa! Great show and what a great gem in our community!

I've said it at least a thousand times, if you're bored and can't find things to do in Lexington,…read moreyou're not looking too far. This Lakeside Live is another prime example. From May until September 30th, you can come to the Mall at Lexington Green and experience an outdoor concert with rotating lineups each Friday and Saturday. Palmers has a little setup selling beer near the stage area. Or you can enjoy bites and drinks on the patio of Palmers, but you choose to get drinks at Palmers, you can't bring them off of their property/patio. Jax, used to be a burger pub is located close to the stage area and is now only open on Friday and Saturday. They now only serve JRenders BBQ, with a limited and simple menu and drinks. Unlike Palmers, you can actually purchase drinks there and take them out to the seating/stage area. The hours are 7-10pm. We got there about 30 minutes early and already the parking lot at the bottom of The Mall was already full. Not to worry though, you can park up top at the front entrance of The Mall. There's a shuttle that runs up and down the hill between the two parking areas. We just walk through Joseph Beth Bookstore, which isn't a bad walk at all. They have some tables and seating areas, but your best bet is to bring your own lawn chairs. Don't forget to bring your dancing shoes too!

I've been to this venue for several shows and events, including Loud Luxury, 311, Wintersong,…read moreCalifornia Honeydrops, and an Eagles Tribute Band, and I've always had a great time. It's easy to get to, with plenty of parking options nearby (I recommend just scootering or ride sharing if you can), and they have multiple bars with fairly priced drinks. Tickets are never outrageously priced, which is a big plus. The venue itself is temperature controlled and comfortable, with a raised stage that gives good visibility no matter where you stand. If you're someone who likes to be up close and personal with the band/artist this is the spot for you. The only thing holding back a perfect rating is the acoustics, which are just okay in some spots. But the closer you get to the stage, the better the sound becomes. Video from the California Honeydrops show is living proof of that--it was easily the best show I've ever seen! Overall, it's a solid venue that delivers great experiences at an affordable price. Definitely worth checking out if one of your favorite bands is playing!

There is no sound treatment to the room at all and the floor is so hard that it hurts to stand there. Between the din and the discomfort, this venue is a violent onslaught on the senses. This place is so bad that they are a blight on the music scene of central Kentucky. Just a complete and total disaster.

Our server was training a new girl and you can tell why they had her do the training... she knew her stuff and was very good at dealing with customers and whatever situation came up. We just got drinks and appetizers because we wanted to hear the band. The fried pickles and the sauce that came with them was addicting! YUM The mozzarella sticks were also really good. We all got different drinks and everyone enjoyed them. The band was so-so.. but that isn't the restaurants fault. We were there on a Friday night left and around 8pm. The place was not super crowded yet and had a good vibe - still early enough that the atmosphere hadn't gotten crazy yet. If you go there you should get the fried pickles!

Luckily, I had no issues finding parking during my visit. Reservations are available online, but by the time I decided to book, it was too late. We decided to take our chances and showed up without a reservation. After ringing the bell, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, who was able to seat us in the cozy couch area. Our server, Francesca, was wonderful and gave us some great drink recommendations. We ordered a few drinks and settled in to enjoy the experience. Even reading through the menu was fun--they have some unique rules that definitely add to the speakeasy atmosphere. The only downside was that the party seated next to us was extremely loud, which happened to go against one of the rules. Unfortunately, their volume didn't seem to be addressed. Aside from that, we absolutely loved our drinks and had a great time. Overall, we're so glad we got to experience this place. It was a fun and unique experience, and we're definitely thankful we made the visit!
