Main Street Live and The Dame

When I moved to Lexington it was A1A Sandbar. Then it was Avio. Now it is Main Street Live. Over the years it has morphed from the serious music venue of Lexington into more of a nightclub-esque thing. I don't really know what to call it, but expect it to become revitalized.

As Avio shifted its music roots to more of a sports bar thing and High on Rose closed up and Lynaghs shut down its music venue, The Dame emerged and stole the music right out from under everyone. The Dame WAS the music venue for Lexington. Back in January, the news came in that the Webbs were demolishing the Dame block and taking Lexington's music scene with it. Well.... now the Phoenix rises.

The Dame, along with it's awesome booking talents, is taking over the vacant music venue portion of Main Street Live. It should be opening soon (Fall 08) and bringing bands back to Lexington.

Overall I think this is a great move for both bars, however it is going to be interesting how they approach this, since both bars will be under one roof.

Main Street Live is a conglomerate of adult entertainment. In the back you have the volley ball nets and deck, upstairs you have the karaoke club bar, downstairs you have the sports bar and downstairs and to the right you have the dance club / music venue.
