Smoketown has become a pilgrimage for the Lively household, great food, interesting dining area, and entertainment from the owner--he is a character! Bryan Lively -

Several other distilleries close by, Notably Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg and Makers Mark in Loretto. Check their websites for visiting hours. If you're adventurous you could drive to Bowling Green to the Corvette Museum, the plant is on shutdown at the moment for re-tooling. Right on 65, cannot miss it. Bryan Lively -

Dan, I can't believe you are cheating on the queen city like that! Shame on you for saying "these wings are as good as it gets", that's almost enough to get you booted out of the Buffalo area . I'm a huge wing fan so I'll try and check out Scooters.
amnima, Famous Dave is pretty good for a chain, but I honestly believe that it doesn't hold a candle to Smoketown or some of the other local BBQ joints, I hope you get a chance to check a local BBQ pit out and support the local businesses. The tractor pull is almost getting to be an excuse just to drive down and get some ribs from Smoketown. I haven't gotten the pulled pork or anything else, I'm just hooked on the ribs. Miles, Thanks for the great blog entry/travel guide, I'm planning on hitting a restaurant or two on that list. I'm trying to get back down to my Summer cycling weight, but I guess I'll start that after the Farm Show. One last thing, as Bryan and others have mentioned, the Bourbon trail is defiantly fun to do. I'm a non-drinker (and I mean I don't drink a drop, I won't even eat chocolates if I know they have alcohol in them) and I thought some of the distillery tours were awesome. My wife and I did a few of them two years ago and the Heaven Hills tour was great, Jim Beam tour was a letdown, but I think they may have expanded since I was there. I smelled all the Bourbons and my wife sampled them all and we both gained a new appreciation for their differences (I swear some smelled like paint thinner and other like sugar). I know chain food is always a safe bet, but I hope people also get a chance to hit some of the local restaurants and support local business.

It takes a great deal of time and a fair amount of money to keep this website going. Donations for: photos, classified ads, forum discussion, etc... are appreciated. Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal. |
