First Ever Trip to Lexington - any suggestions?!

Don’t park in someone’s front yard……no matter how cheap it is……you’ll get towed.

I’m partial to DeSha’s and Sawyers downtown. Joe Bolognas and Two Keys Tavern close to campus. You have all your chain places as well.

get your game moved in future years to later in October so that you can take in the horse races at Keeneland before the game. As for this year, pizza at Joe Bolognas or burgers at Lynaugh’s Irish pub. If you are still in town late at night after having had too much to drink (drowning your sorrows from a loss I hope) go to Tolly-Ho for a giant plate of hash browns. Who knows who will be there.

Unfortunately Keeneland won’t be going. I highly recommend a drive north up along Paris Pike and the horse farms. Graatz Park and Ashland are worth checking out also. Lexington Cemetary is kind of cool too. Billy’s Barbecue is a good place for western Kentucky style barbecue.

I’d go with Jonathan at Gratz Park, Portofino’s, Dudley’s, or A la Lucie. Portofino has a great outdoor eating area if the weather cooperates (doesn’t look good though. . .)

I hear there’s a new “sky bar” in one of the towers downtown, but not sure where. I supposedly has great views of the city.

Sounds like Joe Bolognas is worth a try. Also Tolly-Ho is probably in the plans!

It’s closed now, but when I was in school in Gainesville, there was this place called Skeeters and they had a drunken special called the Asher – It was a mound of hash browns covered with eggs and cheese. It rocked. They also had biscuits the size of large grapefruits just in case. When the dance clubs (more like dives) closed at 4am, there would always be a line out the door there.

Can you pay to park in the lots on gameday or are they advanced parking pass admission only?

We had a nice time in Lex and were fairly fortunate with the weather. Friday was sort of a wash because it was pouring for most of the night, but we spent a pretty long time at Cheapside and then some time as Rosebuds where we bumped into Randolph Morris doing shots with everyone in the bar. He’s a tall dude.

We parked at a medical office center right across the street from the Orange lot which worked out pretty well. The UK faithful were a lot of fun and we enjoyed tailgating along side all of them in our lot.

After the game we made it back downtown to some Irish bar that I can’t remember the name of.

One place y’all forgot to mention was Goodfella’s Pizza. We got a slice there both nights – the pizza was outstanding!!
