Lexington, KY Recommendations

Dudley's, Tony's, Malone's, Carson's are all good.

If you're looking for breweries west sixth is decent, but ethereal is better to me and in a cooler area. It's next to a restaurant called middle fork that's really good. There's also crank and boom ice cream and a pizza place all in that area.

The summit is a more recent development that has some decent restaurants in it toward nicholasville.

Winchell's, local taco, pies and pints, Sawyer's, and Ramsey's are some good low key places.

If you're going to be traveling to the surrounding areas windy corner, Wallace station, and local feed are pretty good.

Country boy and blue stallion are two other breweries that I haven't personally been to but have been recommended to me.

Any idea what distilleries you're going to hit so I can give you more accurate recommendations?

Little outside of town, but goto the Sherwood Inn and ask for the “apple pie”. Tell them you saw it on three sheets if they look spooked.

Thanks for all of the recommendations.

To answer Puffulufogous, we are tentatively planning on hitting the big ones: either some or all of Buffalo Trace, Woodford, Four Roses, Makers Mark, Bulleit, Heaven Hill, and Willett.

Since Buff Trace, Woodford, and Four Roses are all close, we'll probably hit them one day (unless we discover that more time is needed at each one). Same with the trio of Makers Mark, Heaven Hill, and Willett. Bulleit is the only one that's "out of the way" unless we hear or read about other must-sees in Louisville.

I used to to Lexington about once a month for business and always enjoyed a Middle Eastern place called Sahara.

While I haven't tried taste of India, masala is really really good.

Sahara is also great for lunch, although I doubt the OP is traveling to Lexington to have ethnic food.
