The Dame: The Grand Dame
  • Tip Rating:
  • What did we ever do without the Dame? It's only been up and running for about two years, but what a year it has been! They've managed to have Allison Moorer twice, Iris Dement, the Reverend Horton Heat, Scott Miller and the Commonwealth...You never know who's going to show up. There's always something for everyone. One night they might have jazz, another night hard rock...and then some bluegrass. In September alone they're having Southern Culture on the Skids, Goose Creek Symphony, and Chuck Prophet.

    Everything goes here. At the Allison Moorer concert last month I saw people in dresses, suits, army fatigues, and jeans.

    Carriage Ride Through Downtown
  • Tip Rating:
  • When the weather is nice, and sometimes when it isn’t, they give carriage rides around downtown Lexington. They circle around Gratz Park and the DeSha’s area and are a lot of fun. It’s a nice way to get a feel of the downtown area and to check out the local scene. Of course, it can get a little pricey, but if you have a couple of friends to split it with it isn’t bad.

  • Tip Rating:

    The beer was cold and cheap ($5 a pitcher).

    Other live music
    WUKY--the public radio station of the University of Kentucky has a useful web page that lists live music in Lexington and surrounding communities. See web page below. One of my favorites is the free summer jazz series at Ecton Park on Tuesday nights. Take a picnic supper and enjoy!

    Salottos Nightclub: Miami Nights
    Salottos Nightclub is a great place to spend your nights. I am from Atlanta and have to say Lexington's Nightlife scene is basically full of pubs. I was relieved to find Salottos. I was tired of just going to pubs and sitting there. I wanted a place to dance and enjoy live entertainment. Thats what i found at Salottos.

    No sweats.

    The Kentucky Theatre: Live music and films
    The Kentucky Theatre is an old fashioned theater built in 1922, restored to its former glory. It usually features art films, foreign films, classics, or the specialy films that might not always be considered big money makers. It is very popular with college students and younger audiences. The theatre also has live music, including the live taping of the public radio show "Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour" (Mondays at 6:45)which specializes in "American" folk or bluegrass music, and the Troubador concert series.

    The Legends: Minor League Baseball
    The Legends, Lexington's relatively new minor league baseball team has been successful for the players and fans alike. Families appreciate the low prices and great seats compared with major league baseball. The stands include playgrounds for the kids and areas where adults can have a party while watching the game, as well as the usual type seats. Its fun to try to spot future stars for the Astros. The season runs from early April to early September each year.
