Richmond, KY

madison college · 40475

Richmond is Madison County's seat, about 25 miles south of Lexington off I-75, and Eastern Kentucky University sets the metabolism. Term-time, the bars along Main and the chains on the Eastern Bypass fill with Colonels; summer, the place exhales. The dating pool is heavily undergrad, with a quieter layer of EKU faculty, hospital staff, and Bluegrass Army Depot commuters underneath. Battle of Richmond reenactors and Daniel Boone National Forest are nearby, which tells you the date options: campus bar, brewery, or hiking trail. Lexington is the pressure-release valve when you have aged out of student night.
