We're heading to the horse centre for a retired Thoroughbred show on the weekend of Oct 24. We plan to arrive sometime on Thursday and leave Monday morning. Most of our time will be spent in the centre doing horse stuff but we should have our evenings free. What are some things that we should see while we're there? I have a bit of a weak spot for a good Kentucky bourbon so I'd like to see about touring a distillery. I'm looking for recommendations on places to eat too. Keep in mind that we'll be driving a very thirsty 3/4 ton truck around and we won't have a lot of free time so we need to stay fairly local. We're really looking forward to the trip but it'll be the furthest I've ever trailered the horses so I have some trepidation. I've already started to go through our trailer to make sure everything is good to go. The truck will get a once or twice over too.

There was a thread about dining in Lexington just recently.

Bourbon tours are a good choice. Let me know and we may be able to meet up for one.

Go to barrel house distilling co. It's on Manchester.

Go to west Sixth brewing.

Do not go to town branch distilling.

Country boy brewing is good if you want to just sit and drink some good beers, but food is spotty.

I've heard ethereal is good, but haven't been there yet.

I was born there a long time ago, other that that I got nothing.

You'll need to log in to post.
