Bespoke After Dark

Bespoke After Dark: Burlesque & Bourbon

Glamour. Bourbon. Burlesque. An unforgettable night in Bardstown.

Festival Weekend gets a little more daring.

On Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12, Bespoke In Bond transforms into Bespoke After Dark for two nights of live burlesque, bourbon, and vintage-inspired glamour featuring Bette’s Burlesque.

This isn’t your typical seated stage show. We’re transforming Bespoke into an intimate burlesque venue with an elevated runway through the center of the room, putting guests just feet from the performance. Expect dramatic lighting, velvet ropes, bourbon flowing at the bar, and a night designed to feel every bit as special as Festival Weekend itself.

Doors open at 6 PM | Show begins at 8 PM

Come early, grab a cocktail, settle in, and make a night of it.

The Gilded Lounge

Hidden behind the curtain is an experience reserved for our VIP guests.

Before the show, step inside The Gilded Lounge for bourbon, dessert, and time with the performers before taking your preferred seats along the runway. It's our way of turning a night at the show into something you'll be talking about long after Festival Weekend ends.

Bourbon Meets Burlesque

This experience brings together some incredible partners to create a night that feels distinctly Bardstown: sophisticated without taking itself too seriously, bourbon-forward, a little provocative, and a whole lot of fun.

Whether you're visiting Kentucky for Festival Weekend or you're a local looking for something completely different, Bespoke After Dark is your invitation to dress up, drink good bourbon, and enjoy the show.
