I live in Lexington, but will be headed to Louisville several times during that week to see family for holiday gatherings. I'd love to get together & we can head down to
Fourth Street Live for drinks. My boyfriend plays at Maker's Mark Lounge quite a bit & I like its atmosphere a lot. If a meetup isn't possible, you could still check it out-there is a lot going on there.
I also like Main Street Lounge & Petrus has some good acts every now & then. Besides night clubs, there are some awesome bars/restaurants up & down Bardstown Rd that you should definitely check out in your spare time.
