Weekending in Lebanon, KY

March 28, 2024

Get your bags packed Thursday night, cause we’re heading to Lebanon right after work Friday! Grab your partner or pals and let’s get started!

Friday : Dinner & a Show

First stop is a local favorite: Chasers. Awesome bourbon pours, delectable American fare, friendly staff.
The perfect trifecta to prepare you for your next stop: A play, right down the street, at Kentucky Classic Arts. They host live music as well as show case hit plays such as: The Lion King, Nunsense, Bye Bye Birdie, Live Music & more!

Saturday : Smoke, Bourbon & Brew

First stop is house-smoked BBQ from Big Papa’s. A favorite of locals and tourists alike, entire menu is A+. We know what you’re thinking though, you’ve been here 12+ hours already and haven’t gone on a bourbon tour. We got ya. Next, you’re going to tour a local treasure: Limestone Branch Distillery. Tour the grounds and enjoy craft cocktails on site at Minor’s Lounge.

Time to keep the party rolling!
Head to Main St. for a little window shopping. Pop in to one of the local boutiques, and grab a gift for a friend to let them know they missed out on this trip. Take photos with the multiple murals downtown, send them to that same friend (they’ll come next time for sure). After you’ve walked the strip, either walk or drive to our next stop: Good Buddies Brewing.

Sunday : Breakfast & Cruisin’

You can’t mention the B word (breakfast!) in Lebanon without thinking of Cedarwood. Eat up, then enjoy a back-road drive home. Roll your window down, take in the smells and sites & have a Sunday kinda day.
