Paducah has a beautiful old down town and lower town arts district. A great place to grab a bite to eat, see a show, visit a brewery, and more. The old downtown of Paducah is a wonderful daytrip to take. Yes, it's a drive. But, it's unparalleled in the area for being a true foodie town, art scene, and music haven. Try Freight House, Cynthia's, Max's Brick Oven, Paducah Ax, Grill 211, Barrel and Bond, and others, in old downtown (you can even stroll with a cocktail from downtown bars)...or journey to midtown for Mellow Mushroom and Dry Ground Brewing in the old Coke Plant, which is a marvel unto itself. There are tons of art galleries, a world class quilt museum, Maiden Alley Cinema, and so much more to see and do!
