I went to The Burl for a concert with my husband. Right away, the parking situation was not the…read moregreatest (we arrived three hours early). We ended up parking on the pay lot, which had limited options other than overnight for about $20... obviously, that is not their fault though. The arcade seemed fun but we weren't able to play since we had no cash/cards. It definitely had a nostalgic vibe. Since we got there early, we were able to secure free seating, but most of the benches were about to fall apart; we moved a few times, eventually to the top of one of the bars which had great views. Drinks were okay, I didn't get to try their food unfortunately since they were slammed. The only thing I didn't like was that we paid for the event, got a wristband, but there were so many ways you could have gotten in without paying anything at all. I'd love to give them another try when there is no event.

We spent the afternoon at Burl Brew at The Burl, and honestly... 10/10 vibes…read more The weather was perfect, so we grabbed a seat outside and soaked it all in. There's plenty of seating, a super cool laid-back atmosphere, and the kind of crowd that makes you feel like you picked the right place without even trying. Bonus: the UK basketball game was on, the place was packed with fans, and the Cats WON so the energy was immaculate. High fives, cheers, happy strangers everywhere. You love to see it. We had the German Pilsner and the American Light. Both were crisp, refreshing, and exactly what you want in hand while celebrating a UK win. No notes. It's one of those spots where you go for "just a quick drink" and immediately start planning your next visit. We'll definitely be back to try food from Lucy's and hopefully catch a show next time. Great beer, great crowd, great vibes. Go Cats.

By far, one of the worst concert venues I've been to anywhere. The sound is reprehensible and the…read morecrew so beaten down by trying to make this disaster work that they are rude, gruff and dismissive to the touring artists coming through town who just want to put on a good show. There is no sound treatment to the room at all and the floor is so hard that it hurts to stand there. Between the din and the discomfort, this venue is a violent onslaught on the senses. This place is so bad that they are a blight on the music scene of central Kentucky. Just a complete and total disaster.

Two bartenders/servers seemed pretty busy, but one acknowledged us. The other finally got to us to take our drink orders. The cocktails we selected were delicious, so they made up for our wait. I ordered The Floyd and my friend got the Paloma & a Strawberry Margarita. Also, ordered the Bacon Bleu Cheese Dip with Pita Chips: AMAZING!!!
