Marikka's is one of our favorite spots to hang out, they have one of the largest selections of beer, draft, imported, domestic, wine, and mixed drinks. They have several sand volleyball courts both inside and out, unless there's a tournament it's pick-up style and no judgment. They also have darts, pool tables, foosball tables, and more.

Great sandwiches and baked goods in a historic building. This restaurant is off the beaten place, but the drive through Lexington horse country is a treat of its own. Guy Fieri named their Brown Bourbon burger the top 5 he's ever had.

The restaurant is located right on the river and has a large outdoor seating area. Most of the times we've gone there's live music too which has been lots of fun! The food is a classic barbecue and is on par with other BBQ places in town, we also really like the crawfish etouffee.
