Top 10 Nightlife in Lexington, Kentucky (KY)
Welcome to Bluegrass Country, the "Horse Capital of the World." But you don't have to be an avid racehorse fan to enjoy the natural beauty, culture and history that this exciting city has to offer. At the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, for example, hiking trails wend their way through forests, meadows and gentle creeks, taking you past historic landmarks; there's even a nighttime guided walk for stargazing. The best place in the world for raising thoroughbred horses, Lexington has over 500 horse farms. The Kentucky Horse Park features films, horse shows and exhibits. Be sure to tour the American Saddle Horse Museum, dedicated to the native Kentucky breed, and watch races at the lovely Keeneland Race Course in season. Historic sites are plentiful here, including the Waveland State Historic Site, the childhood home of Mary Todd Lincoln and the Ashland estate of famed Kentucky statesman Henry Clay.

We LOVE Drakes. Went there countless times when I lived in Lexington and still stop in when we’re driving through. The crab rangoon roll is a great option for “non-sushi” people who want to try a cooked roll. Super yummy...also super filling, like plan to share with multiple people. My husband loved his real sushi (spicy tuna roll). The complimentary bread and butter that they offer you from Malones is to die for. The outdoor area is super cozy, and drinks were great. I got the Old Fashioned which is definitely different from the classic Old Fashioned you’d get in Wisconsin, drinking it reminded me of Kentucky. We enjoyed our wings and quesadilla. Also secret tip - order the spinach and artichoke dip from the Malones menu, you won’t be sorry!
