Great bars, restaurants and distilleries in Lexington to L'ville corridor. Got to Keeneland race track over in Lexington. Their fans are about as good as you can get as a visiting fan. Did our pre and post game tailgating inside at a bar/restaurant in the area. Got to meet Pasco Bull from the Board. As we handed our ticket to be scanned I got a "hope you win" from the gal scanning. She was from Tampa. After the game and walking back to the hotel had some good conversations with good wishes from their fans. Told them to rep the Big East well. Including player and coaches families we probably had 150 - 175 people in our sections. The game was exciting. Obviously disappointed with the results, but for those who say our team sucks, you couldn't tell it by the L'ville fans afterwards. Had more than one say they were lucky to win and that we had a good team. One told me that that was the most people they had stay until the end of the game all year. An older guy asked if we had a good trip and thanked us for coming up. Looking forward to new destinations with San Diego, Houston, Dallas, Memphis and Boise. But it will be tough to beat this trip especially since you can drive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had great trips to most Big East games, Pittsburgh, Rutgers via the Big Apple and UConn with Bristol particularly stand out. The road experience is always a big part of the fun (particularly with this team). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just plan on going to Big East games since bowl games aren't as guaranteed anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go again if they don't get picked off by the big 12. I can't believe they choose WVU over Louisville the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go back, make a side trip to Lorretto and tour the Maker's Mark Distillery (The best of the bunch) and then enjoy lunch or dinner at the Old Talbott Tavern in Bardstown. http://www.makersmark.com/age-verification http://talbotts.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place was really old, on a corner and either a block or so north or west of the square. Anyway, hopefully the 'ville will still be in the BE in 2 years and we'll try your recommendation. And as far as recommendations, we went to the Bristol Downtown on Friday night. Excellent food and huge bourbon selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
