Bullhorn’s guide to eat, stay, and play in Kentucky
Over fourteen years ago, we started as a local agency. Doing whatever we needed to do to make connections and help people in our Kentucky neighborhoods: sell t-shirts, sling beer, create and promote cool things. And now we partner with businesses and organizations nationwide to solve branding problems. Even our team has expanded out of state. But our roots are important to us. We still give back to our neighborhood through our Good Works program, and when we are all in town together, we like to visit our favorite spots. Since it is spring, and people are venturing out for hikes at Red River Gorge, the races at Keeneland and Churchill Downs, or patio happy hours, we want to share some recommendations for eating, drinking, and playing in and around Lexington and Louisville.
