We’ve all been there. You’re excited to enjoy a lovely evening in the Distillery District, but find yourself circling and circling the parking lot, begging for a spot to open up.
Well, did you know that the city has provided three free parking lots near The Burl campus + Pepper Rickhouse to ease those parking woes?
- LFUCG Regional Recycling Center, 360 Thompson Rd. | Located across from The Burl, public parking is available on the weekends from Friday at 5 p.m. through Sunday at 11 p.m.
- Manchester Street | If you’re driving away from the Distillery District toward Old Frankfort Pike, you’ll find a small parking lot on the right, before the Granite Depot of Lexington.
- South Forbes Road | From Manchester Street, take a right onto South Forbes. Right after the Town Branch Trail sign on the right, you’ll see a huge lot for cars and bikes.
Pro tip: Check out this handy map + wear some comfy shoes for a short walk along the Town Branch Trail from these three parking lots.
