The Venue
Manchester Music Hall is locally owned and operated in Lexington, KY. Formerly known as the Old Tarr Distillery warehouse #2, it was built in circa 1800s and part of the Ashland / Old Tarr Distillery campus. Registered as the first distillery in KY as RD #1, this building housed bourbon for many years. It was closed in the early 1900s and eventually purchased by Star Tool company.
After Star Tool closed its doors at this location, it was converted into what was known as Busters Billiards and Backroom. In late 2015 the current owners, purchased the property, and after a few months of construction, a new parking lot and renovated interior it is now known as the Manchester Music Hall.
