help with visit to Kentucky

ktmae55

My friend and I are coming to Kentucky this weekend. Here's is our rough plan:

Friday night - Louisville, staying on 3rd street downtown
Saturday - Jim Beam and Maker's mark tours, Maybe one or two winery stops (between Bardstown and Lexington), then horseback riding  (just south of Lexington) and on to Lexington. Staying just outside the city.

Saturday -
morning at Kentucky horse pack, back to Lousiville airport by 2pm

We're only there for a really short time, so we're tying to pack a lot in. Is there anything we've missed that we really should check out? Any scenic drives that we can do along our route?

Also, any reccomendations for reasonably priced (under $20 pp for dinner) places to eat? Good bars (not clubby, we prefer pubs and causal spots)?

 Thanks!

Cheapside Bar & Grill is in downtown Lexington and has a casual, laid-back atmosphere. We just moved to Lex but have hit up Cheapside a few times, and we've always had fun. From there, there are a variety of bars within walking distance. Have a good trip!

there's 4th Street Live! downtown Louisville.  since you're staying right there, it would make sense to check it out.  some of the spots there are clubby, but you could do more of the restaurants.  Makers Mark Lounge is nice.  and ditto Cheapside in Lexington.  have fun!

I tritto Cheapside. There are a lot of bar/pubs in that area as well, but Cheapside is probably the most relaxed atmosphere.  If you decide you're more in the mood for pizza and beer, though, Pazzo's is just off UK's campus. They're amazing.
