About The Dame

The Dame was a storied music hall and bar in Lexington, Kentucky, known for hosting nightly live acts, film screenings, open mic nights, and charity events. With a standing-room capacity of 390 at its original downtown location, this venue welcomed touring acts such as Arcade Fire, Drive-By Truckers, The Black Keys, and The Zombies. Although the original West Main Street block was razed for CentrePointe (later evolving into City Center), The Dame’s legacy lives on in Lexington’s musical history.
