Walk-On's Brings Big Game Vibes to Lexington | Lexington News

Lexington just got its first Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux — dubbed the 1 sports bar in the country by ESPN — bringing 125 jobs, Louisiana-inspired eats, and serious game-day energy to South Broadway near UK. Owner Jamie Daniel, a Kentucky native, turned a longtime dream into reality with a ribbon-cutting featuring the mayor and student-athletes storming the stage like pros. Beyond the big screens and scratch-made dishes, they kicked off with $5,000 in donations to local schools and animal rescue — proving this isn’t just another sports bar, it’s community-first. Started in 2003 by college walk-ons, Walk-On’s now has nearly 80 locations nationwide, and this new spot is their biggest leap yet into the heart of Kentucky fandom.
