Best Nightlife in Frankfort

"OBC Kitchen es un restaurante local dirigido por un chef, en donde ofrece una colección muy particular de bourbones, su variada selección de cervezas artesanales y una extensa lista de vinos. Los comensales están rodeados por madera de granero centenaria y mesas cerradas cubiertas de cuero mientras..."

"This is a beautiful establishment that doesn't look like it belongs in a strip mall. Such a warm speakeasy style wood interior with distances tables and a laid…”more"

"The restaurant is locally owned and operated, with two other locations in Lexington. The menu features salads, sandwiches, pizzas as well as dinner entrees in an upscale pub atmosphere. Original dishes include the Kentucky Hot Brown Pizza, decorated with creamy mornay sauce, ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar-jack cheese, and fresh tomatoes."

"From the owners of Thai Orchid Cafe (which I still miss), who started making ice cream for the cafe and ended up having crazy demand for the ice cream, so opened a shop!. They serve ice cream, sorbet, sundaes and even ice cream cocktails at their Distillery District location. The ice cream is very rich – the chocolate is extra chocolately in the most delicious way – and creamy."

"Crank & Boom ice cream started when the owners were looking for a dessert to serve in their Thai restaurant. The ice cream was so popular it became their passion project and they now crank (see what I did there?) out a variety of flavors made in house using local, all-natural ingredients. I’m partial to the Bourbon & Honey and Kentucky Blackberry and Buttermilk flavors."

"Located at 1210 Manchester St., the spot to score desserts, ice cream and frozen yogurt is the highest-rated dessert spot in Lexington, boasting 4.5 stars out of 279 reviews on Yelp."

"Chef Mark Jensen’s new restaurant, middle fork kitchen bar (mfkb), offers a comfortably bold take on the traditional dining experience. Inspired by the dynamics of the season, the context of the district, and the enthusiasm of his team, Jensen combines ingredients, cuisines, and a appreciation for the craft for a fun and delicious result. The restaurant’s name is a tip of the hat to the great Elkorn River, the middle fork of the elkhorn to be exact."

"Best Place to Impress Foodie Friends Named for the creek beside this restaurant in the former James E. Pepper distillery, middle fork has an inventive menu: the “J” in chef Mark Jensen's PB & J is lime-orange jam dressed with cilantro, red onion, and chilies. Get a beer from Ethereal Brewing next door, and step over to Crank & Boom Ice Cream Lounge for a bourbon ball sundae for dessert."

"Coming in at number seven would be the Middle Fork Kitchen Bar. The restaurant is renowned for its location, a repurposed distillery that pays homage to Kentucky’s pride in bourbon. Which distillery, you ask?"

"I may have a cup every few months, but by no means do I drink it daily. I have a caffeine allergy, so when I do dr..."

"McConnell Springs is a beautiful rush of wilderness and thick greenery that decorates the fringes of Lexington along the north. It is named after William McConnell, a frontiersman who used this area for his and his compadres’ camp in 1775. The group arrived here at the beginning of the American Revolution and named the beginning of this settlement after a Massachusetts town, also called Lexington."

"McConnell Springs is a twenty-six acre natural areas park located at the historic springs where the city of Lexington, Kentucky was named...."
