A memorable nightlife spot in downtown Richmond is opening its doors for the first time in more than two decades Friday night. Walk-through tours of “The Family Dog” bar will be a part of Eastern Kentucky University’s Homecoming festivities. Morgan Varney is the daughter of Family Dog owner Robby Robinson. She said preparation for this walk down memory lane hasn’t been overwhelming. Varney noted visitors will find much the same as it was during their school years.
“I mean my husband has done a majority of the work in there. We've just done some polishing, replacing some floorboards, things like that. But, everything that people are gonna see is pretty much like it was when doors closed back in 2000,” said Varney.
