Make Owensboro Your Next Girl’s Trip Destination

One of the best things about road tripping is checking out new places you may have never been to before. And when you just need a weekend away from the day-to-day activities that make up your life, Owensboro is the perfect place for a girl’s trip! 

 

If you’re looking for a city with live music, delicious drinks, cute, crafty stores to check out and a great brunch — Owensboro is the place! 

 

You can grab mimosas, blood marys, cocktails and TONS of chilled wine at SIP Wine Room. This high-end establishment is located right on the Ohio River, so you’ve also got beautiful waterfront views from SIP’s outdoor patio. Also peep SIP’s food menu for charcuterie boards and other dishes that are perfect for lunch or an early evening dinner. 

 

If you’re wanting to primarily stay in the downtown area, some other great places for drinks and brunch are Burger Theory (more waterfront views!), Lure Seafood and Grille (again with the waterfront views), Brew Bridge and on Saturday mornings, Famous Bistro offers up a delicious breakfast menu

 

If you’re looking for a fun night out, RiverPark Center holds concerts featuring major artists and other fun events all the time! You can check out a list of their events right here. And if you want to try something Owensboro is famous for, head to the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum for a bluegrass concert! Both locations also have full bars. 

 

Other great nightlife spots in the downtown area include: Brasher’s Lil’ Nashville, Pub on Second, Ten O Six, Brew Bridge and, soon to be opened right next to SIP, Goodwood Brewing Co. And if you’re looking for some daytime fun, you definitely schedule a tour at Green River Distilling Co. – it’s been ranked as one of the BEST bourbon tours in the entire state of Kentucky! 

 

If you want to stretch your legs and see some beautiful sights, we suggest checking out Western Kentucky Botanical Garden for all the flowers and gorgeous walkways. Other amazing places to see include Reid’s Orchard (complete with an onsite store selling fresh veggies, sweets and tons of cute merchandise), Trunnel’s Farm Market and Preservation Station
