Bar business is tough. Will be a haven for Wildcat fans. Shame BCG is no longer the coach
Matt Jones & KSR opening a Lex bar
- Thread starter Kybluedude
- Start date
Sounds like it'll be an older bar crowd; that seems to be matts general fan base. He better pull out all the stops, lots of bars in Lex.
I think it will be cool.
I wish he would open a Kentucky Only bar in Louisville...

In before the usuals trash MJ and his "stupid" idea, even though those same people will be some its best customers
He's just going to take all the good ideas from other bars and, uh, aggregate them in one spot.
Hope he’s going for the older crowd. Two Keys and Tin Roof were always the hot spots when I was in school in Lex which was only 3 years ago?
Blue hairs, beer, out after 7pm, what's the worst that could happen?
The MJ flock that drinks can keep it afloat in fall/winter I think. Wouldn't mind trying it myself at least once when in town.
I think they'll do it right. Joked about having and age limit during games to keep the atmosphere good haha. I'll def check it out.
Nothing says making money like cutting your customer base in half!
Bars and restaurants have an extremely high failure rate, but a UK themed bar in Lexington could do well if managed well. Depends on who they hire to run the place, sounded like Matt and crew won't be doing any of the hands on management, just doing events and stuff there.
Drinking is a sin, so I will not cast my shadow upon it's door frame.
Should invite John Higgins for the grand opening..
I always like to see how a thread changes once it's moved from rafters to the paddock.
Maybe not him (too soon), but should invite Laettner and some other villains to stop by, just for kicks.
Critical thinking, my good sir.
OMG(oodness)...........to be your age again.....and to know what I know now.......
Live life son, have fun, enjoy yourself, get a job that makes you happy and one that isn't "work" to you.......
The Bible says, "life is like a vapor," and let me just confirm that to you....it is.....

If Paddock can hijack this topic to socks or other accoutrements, I’d say this thread is a win.
The Big Blue Country Club meets at Saints in St. Matthews for most UK games. I've been several times, but there's always some Louisville trolls who show up. I hate being in mixed company when watching a UK game.
Bars are a cash business. Your staff can rob you blind unless you or someone you trust are there all the time to keep an eye things.

Amen. Here today, gone tomorrow. Turn around and it is gone.
Great, just what Lexington needed, another bar!!! Only about 1200 of them now in Fayette County. And with a UK theme!! If only we had some blue and white decor in this town, with a Wildcat motif!! Why has this not been thought of before??
Where can I invest?

Obviously location is the factor...tons of places have closed down over the last year. It would be nice to have an actual sports bar dtown
-speaking of bars. I occasionally wear a tie bar when gussied up. Been thinking about this one for a while now:https://m.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-GE...232070?hash=item1a2cf26246:g:ZRcAAOSwaEhZK8Dk
He could hire Ryan Lemond to run the place.Bars are a cash business. Your staff can rob you blind unless you or someone you trust are there all the time to keep an eye things.
Then, he would only have to worry about missing silverware...
I'm guessing they move into the space where District Sports Bar and Grill was, part of the old Saddle Ridge/Varsity Blues building. Drew had mentioned that the previous tenant left a lot of good stuff and there's not many recently closed bar spaces that fit that description.
I didn't go there enough for anyone to remember me.
Matt mentioned a few weeks ago he just bought a piece of property that was the former home of something but I can't remember what it was. Not that space. But that seems like a good place.
Will it be walking distance to Rupp? Tough business to succeed unless the owner is in it all the time
