Two Keys Tavern

Not a Good Place to Go. Period.

Review Rating
Two Keys is perhaps the most over-rated college bar in Lexington. Catering to a largely undergrad (which is fine) and underage (not so fine) audience, the bar staff and bouncers operate as though they're operating an exclusive club, as they kick people out on a whim.

After a drunk patron tried to pick a fight with my friend, who was trying to pass by on the overcrowded patio, my friend and I were forcefully removed from the premises by the bouncers, two of whom made numerous threats. As one nearly pushed me over, I grabbed onto his arms. He said, "Don't touch my arms or I'll really f**k you up." The bouncers offered no explanation for escorting us off the premises, and they joked about it with the person who originally tried to provoke a fight. Ryan McGuffin, an on duty Two Keys manager, stood and watched as his bounce staff made threats and used excessive force, but he was unwilling to answer questions.

Don't go here. They'll take your cover and then kick you out.

Two Keys Tavern is ground zero for UK fans who want a "Big Blue" bar and grill experience. It's at 333 South Limestone Street, next to the northern end of UK's campus. The tavern occupies the entire ground floor of a three story building. It has an outdoor drinking patio that is also fairly large.

The pricing is modest, the drinks are plentiful, and it is absolutely packed on many Friday... more

I had 57 beads around my neck. Whoever had my the most beads at midnight, which it was 1am, when they did it, would be the winner and get some cash. By all means, I don't care about the damn cash. Don't tell me since I am white and have better boobs then everybody else does NOT mean that I should not be allowed up on stage. I PROMISE that I will never recommend this bar to anybody for the rude... more
