About

The Burl is a live music venue in Lexington’s Distillery District, housed in a 1926 former Texaco loading dock and opened for shows in July 2016. It’s known for intimate concerts across genres, an adjacent retro Burl Arcade added in 2018, and an outdoor stage launched during the pandemic for larger-capacity events. The venue anchors a walkable cluster of bars, breweries, and restaurants in the revitalized Distillery District.
