had such a fun time seeing Goth Babe here in September! only an hours drive from Covington, we parked for free like 0.5 mile down the road and was pleasantly surprised with how low key it felt. there was a taco food truck, an arcade bar, and a brewery available for food and drink (they did have some non-alcoholic options). we enjoyed some food on the rooftop patio area before the show started. spring & fall would be an ideal time to see a show here. definitely would come back.

One of the best local spots in Lexington to catch a show, play some vintage arcade games, grab a bite to eat and a cold drink. If you haven't been, you are missing out.

My favorite music venue in Lexington. The wood frame makes for a beautiful sound to live music, and their sound team is great. Located in the distillery district so there are plenty of places to visit before and/or after the show.

Great show view from anywhere in the building. Great sound throughout the whole space and even when out on the patio! Great options for drinks including the non drinkers! Water jug available for self serve!

Amazing! We saw Manchester Orchestra and it was a sold out show and very hot BUT, I saw the security staff passing out bottled water to people in need... It was great to see humanity was in the hearts of people of Kentucky. Great show! And I can't stress enough. How amazing the staff at the bro was!!!!
