WHO IS

Willie?

How Willie Got Here

2 Fisted Willie’s came to Lexington in September of 2024, born out of the love Willie has for great country music and cold beer. Willie found his way to Kentucky through stints south in Texas, west to Colorado by way of Kansas City, and it was his love for the outdoors, horses, and bourbon that pulled him back to the Bluegrass.

The Bar

That Traveled

The 90+ year old main bar at Willie's traveled all the way from its original home in a pub near the US Open Tennis Center in Queens, New York, to Lexington — and today it's thriving as the central focus of the bar, right in the action and excitement of the University of Kentucky setting.
