Good times
The atmosphere is incredible. Live music almost every night, the staff is top notch, free popcorn, roaring fireplace in the winter, and the bathrooms are clean. Clientele ages range from 21-94 this is a bar for anyone and everyone. Highly recommend �...
Henry Clay's Public House | Lexington KY
The patio area and indoor "secret garden" vibe make for a fun hangout spot. - The only bar I'll go to for an espresso martini.
Harvey's Bar
Local vendors, live music, and if the weather is right a crowd of dancing, singing, drinking locals just out for a good time. Dog and kid friendly
Thursday Night Live
Friday night beginner country line dancing. $10/class This a great way to get some exercise, meet great people, and have a whole lot of fun!
Bluegrass Ballroom
Yummy Eats
Go for the margs and stay for the tacos! Right down the street from Rupp Arena. Highly recommend. I've never had a bad experience here.
Corto Lima
The Elvis burger 🤤 ask for pepper jelly on the side. You'll thank me later 😉
Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Lexington KY
A great spot for pizza and local brews. Dog- and kid-friendly and a great host of trivia night.
Mirror Twin Brewing
Their pimento cheese sandwich is to die for! Honestly have never had a bad experience here. Everything is so fresh.
The Mousetrap
The setting is in the midst of rolling hills and horse farms. The food is made fresh with recipes from the infamous Chef Ouita Michel and the atmosphere is true southern hospitality. This is a place we take friends and family when they come to town.
Windy Corner Market
The best glazed cake donuts in town. They stay open until they run out, so get there early!
Spalding's Bakery
A local favorite and a hot spot for students. Located in an old/repurposed school it's neat.
Old School Coffee
A great family-friendly spot for delicious pizzas. Made fresh and with a smile!
Puccini's Pizza Pasta-Chevy Chase Place
Incredible selection of meats, cheeses, and sauces. The deli serves up a hot lunch that you'll be drooling over when you walk through the door.
Critchfield Meats
Great Parks
Opened just recently, this is a park just outside of downtown that is absolutely a hit with every kid! With room to run, rubber matted floors, and thoughtful design, parents can rest easy and let their kids be kids here!
Gatton Park on the Town Branch
With 12 lighted outdoor courts and plenty of parking, Kirklevington Park is a great spot for a pick up game of Pickleball.

Fun Shops
Fantastic furniture consignment store! They always have a wide variety of high-quality pieces in store.
Room Service Inc.
Remodeling your kitchen? Looking for a bathroom upgrade? They got it. Get there 15+ minutes early on Wednesday (that's when they put out the new stuff). Also a great place for puzzles and knick knacks.
