Dress Code

NOTE: This venue is 1.5 hours east of Lexington. Portions of the commute are on winding back country roads. We do not recommend driving back after enjoying the bar, so please plan accordingly. There are similar addresses near London, KY and Louisville, KY- these are NOT the venue.When booking air bnbs or cabins, please keep in mind that while the venue is near Red River Gorge, the gorge spans a large portion of the state and some locations can be many miles away. Please double check the proximity to the venue when booking. We recommend one of the air bnbs listed below for easiest venue access.

Travel

Open Monday-Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 12-4:30 Versailles is right next to Lexington. Be sure to book as early as possible! Bourbon Trail Tours book out months in advance.

Woodford Reserve Distillery Tour

Sunday 12pm - 4pm Monday - Thursday 10am-4pm Friday & Saturday 9am-6pm $10 tour, lasts 1 hour. This one should be easier to book closer to date, as it is a smaller, more local distillery. It has some great products like bourbon pickles, bourbon slushees, maple bourbon, etc.

Bluegrass Distillers Tour

The distillery district is our favorite date spot! It has awesome pizza at Goodfellas, spiked ice cream sundaes at Crank n Boom, axe throwing, live music and the James Pepper Distillery tour ($20). You shouldn’t have a problem booking if you book a few weeks in advance. 

The Distillery District & James Pepper Distillery Tour

Enjoy beautiful gardens and walking trails! Pets allowed 

Arboretum State Botanical Garden Of Kentucky

A great Lexington brewery tour featuring Bourbon Barrel Ales and Emily’s favorite- the Irish coffee! This one usually has openings but for large groups book ahead.  

Lexington Brewing Company

The gorge is home to many amazing hiking trails and outdoor activities, including zip lines, cave kayaking, and events. 

Red River Gorge

An awesome KY themed gift shop featuring the urban legend himself! See the website for his story. 

Kentucky For Kentucky- Home Of The Cocaine Bear

Another distillery where you’ll need to book way in advance to tour but so cool!! This one is about 40 minutes from Lexington so keep that in mind. 

Buffalo Trace Distillery

This is Emily’s favorite place to take people to eat when they come to town because it’s a gorgeous castle!! All the food is locally grown and you can go up to the roof or walk the gardens. To eat here you must book well in advance for a weekend.
