2008 HOMETOWN CHAPTERS
Located downtown Lexington across the street from the
historic Kentucky Theatre, Natasha's has quickly
become a dynamic spot for live music, theatre, dance
and just about any entertainment we can book. An
urban and eclectic space provides for great acoustics
and intimacy with the audience. We are a full service
bistro serving a broad menu of everything from bison
burgers, gourmet pizzas, stir frys and pastas to
Asian salads. We also have a full service bar,
homemade desserts and coffees from around the world.
All interested bands may call for details on booking.
We do not have sound equipment, so the artist must
have their own.
Natasha's has dedicated it's venue to the nurturing
and promotion of great talent and has turned the
bistro into an arts and entertainment destination.
"We are defiantly too funky to franchise".
