The Red Mile harness track is the only place I've been. It was a one night side trip from the Derby, decades ago for me. Not sure if they are open this time of the year.

If you like bourbon (or want to learn to), this is the place to go (try Michters). Just a couple blocks from Rupp Arena and the downtown hotels. The whole Cheapside area downtown is hopping, and if you stay at the Hyatt or the Radisson/Sheraton/whateveritisthisweek, you can easily walk to it. The campus area is about a mile max from there, and the nightlife is abundant, if spread out.
This place has a lot of little-known beers on tap and is in the Chevy Chase area near campus. Need a taxi to there.
The Cheapside Bar and Grill is a good place to get breakfast the next day.

The thing I still remember about Kentucky is how you can be driving anywhere and you look up and some horse is standing there.

Last I heard it was moved. I'm pretty sure it's still open. It will never close!
Tolly Ho moved from Limestone Ave. on the edge of UKs campus to Broadway Ave, a little further west. Not far from the old place. Still open.
Downtown and the UK campus are the only places with walkability. The area around Broadway and Short St downtown has some nice restaurants and bars (Cheapside Bar mentioned in a different post is on Short St). Rupp Arena is very close to this area. Drake's on Tates Creek Rd I've heard is a great spot for after work and is next to Sal's and Malone's, two great restaurants.

I'll second Lynaugh's. Check out Two Keys Tavern if you're looking for some younger stank. Whatever happened to Joe B's? Jellybeans? JDI? I've been gone for 17 years. Bdubs/Sudsy's used to be on Limestone and Maxwell. Good times.

You can definitely get some young stank from Two Keys, McCarthy's is pretty good. Tolly Ho is good late night if you want to wait forever. Pazzo's is a good Italian/pizza place.
If you are down there this weekend, it should be pretty nuts tonight if UK pulls off the victory over Louisville.
