I went to The Burl for a concert with my husband. Right away, the parking situation was not the…read moregreatest (we arrived three hours early). 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.

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!

By far, one of the worst concert venues I've been to anywhere. The sound is reprehensible and the…read morecrew so beaten down by trying to make this disaster work that they are rude, gruff and dismissive to the touring artists coming through town who just want to put on a good show. 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.

Bonus: nice bathroom facilities, no port-a-potties! You can bring your own food or order from a rotating selection of food trucks, as well as libations. So much fun and I can't wait to return!t

Stagger Inn just really isn't my favorite bar. My experiences here have been fine, nothing terrible…read morehappened, but I don't really love the atmosphere or have a good time when I'm here. It's a bar on the lower level of a large downtown building, so it has a dark basement feel to me. They do have a patio, but I've never hung out in that area. It's really country, which just isn't my scene. And they have plenty of TV's to watch sports, but outside of a few college basketball games that really isn't my thing either. Though, I can see the draw for a lot of college students going out in the area since they're at UK nearby. If you're looking for live music though, this spot often has it. Again, it's a fairly country scene, so that's likely what they'll be playing, but if that's what you're looking for this spot could be for you!

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!
