I know a bunch of you make this trip. Here is some recommendations you should do while in the Bluegrass State.

Keeneland:LINK

KY Bourbon Trail:LINK
I suggest Makers, Willet, Woodford,Town and Branch and some small distilleries.

Horse Farm Tours:LINK

Midway, KY:LINK
Cool old town.

Jefferson Street in Lexington:LINK
Gray Goose and Nick Ryans...great street to hang out after Keeneland on Friday night.

Henry Clays Pub:LINK
Old Lexington hangs out...major talent.

Holly Hill Inn:LINK

Wallace Station:LINK
Awesome drive and food (sandwiches)

Windy Corner Market:LINK
My favorite spot..out by horse farms and great food.

Tin Roof or Two Keys:LINK
If you are looking to hang with college kids!

Knob Creek is Jim Beam which is in Clermont, about an hour and a half away from Lexington.

Go down Nicholasville Rd...always spots to park from $10-25. Hell, just park in my hood on side street and walk for free (Goodrich/Wabash/Lackawanna Streets).

Hit keeneland about 6am to see some great horse workouts, and then the track kitchen for some great food. Lexington may be one of the most beautiful cities in the country IMO. The locals are very hospitable

If you're not doing the Keeneland/UK Football daily double while in town you're just not doing it right.
