The Burl

"Very cool indoor and outdoor spot. One side has an indoor arcade with old school pinball and arcade games (with high score chalkboards for leaderboard competition). There’s a outdoor fire pit to sit around as well. The indoor section is an inviting spot for live music. One of the better overall bars/venues in this area!"

"We were only in town for a quick visit last month, and there were no shows happening. I still wanted to check the place out and stopped by on an August Wednesday night. There was a firepit outside, an outside window for food and drinks, and best of all, tons of vintage video games! We stayed for about an hour, enjoying the atmosphere, playing some of our favorites, and even trying some new ones (how have I never heard of Tapper?). Looks like it would be a fun place to catch a show too."

"Road tripped to Lexington from Minnesota because I wanted to see a particular band at The Burl. I can say it was definitely worth the long drive to see live music at The Burl. It was one of the best places I've seen a live music performance at. The venue is small, but not to cramped or crowded. The acoustics inside the venue were good. The staff at the bar were very friendly and I got to try some amazing local craft beer that they had on tap. All the patrons there were friendly and nice."

"Awesome venue - I've never been somewhere where the drinks where reasonable priced enough to order a few during / before the concert. The venue itself had solid temperature control and was comfortable the entire time. Sound level / clarity was great and the venue was quite clean. It should be noted there is an arcade bar across the street with some food!"
