No tears, and no long story. Just a simple thank you, to Lexington, for supporting us for 7 years. We (Dougie, Stephen, and Ieasha) will remain the brand owners of Creaux, but are closing operations on July, 1. The future is bright!

We are thrilled to be able to pass on this amazing property to a group of local entrepreneurs with great reputations, talent, and a real love for Lexington. Assuredly, 310 W short street will be in great hands.

Soulbrations 2: Open Mic Series (Hosted by Devine Carama)

As many of you know, after 17 years of , we are bringing back a different iteration of "poetry night" through an event called Soulbrations Open Mic Series (Hosted by Devine Carama) featuring Quay Bailey aka DJ Well Blended. Tonight the new series resumes at Halligan's from 8:30 - 11 pm.

Tonight's event will proceed RAIN OR SHINE! Keep a close eye on the weather as the rain should slow down around show time!

When my brother Johnnie Johnson moved away and the downtown nightlife scene began to evolve, we felt it was time to close the chapter. We took some time off, accessed the needs of the city, and felt this spring was the perfect time to bring back an authentic open mic where CULTURE is the priority. We've tinkered with the format a bit (not too much) to highlight upcoming poets and vocalists, while also being a safe space for "everyday folks" to come out and express themselves regularly. We are excited to patronize a new venue at Halligans Bar & Grill in the Manchester district! Doors open at 8 pm, and the show starts at 8:30 pm. Tell a friend and join us. It's going to be a SOULbration!!!
