Food scene

Some of our favorite places to eat are in Lexington. There are a lot of food choices here in town, and we wanted to offer some of our go-to places.
This is our local go-to place for family dinners. Friendly staff and good food. Highly recommend the enchiladas mole.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Lexington. Located downtown, this place is just a short drive away. The pork tacos are the best! Go ahead and order 3 or 4. The staff is really friendly and the bartenders know how to pour a nice cocktail.

Tony's is a great place for a special event or a romantic dinner. The steaks are perfectly cooked. Professional and friendly wait staff. The creamed spinach is not to be missed. The bartender made our dirty martinis perfectly.

DELICIOUS! Latin-inspired menu. I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far. Steak rajas, tamales, and ceviche have been our favorites so far. Try the mezcal margarita!

They don't deliver, but they serve up one of the best pizzas in Lexington. The bartenders are talented and can mix up a cocktail to go along with your favorite pizza toppings.

You can never go wrong with a hot chicken sandwich and a side from Joella's. This is our teenage son's favorite place to eat in Lexington. Family-friendly.

This is the place to go after a day of bourbon tasting or a concert at Rupp arena. Late-night hours and good food = a winning combo.

Distillery

These are two of our favorite bourbons, and both are easy to get to from Idle Hour Cottage.
A great tour shows you around this historic distillery. Afterward, journey over to the visitor center and try out some cocktails. The scenery is beautiful and you won't want to leave.

This is our favorite distillery in Lexington, and it is just minutes away from the house. Small, hand-processed batches of bourbon, vodka, rum, and moonshine. The Elkhorn Tavern, which is attached, is a great place to grab a bite before or after your tour.

Stop in and visit this historic home and learn more about the Todd family and their time in Lexington. Perfect if you want a little history but don't have a ton of time as this is not a huge place.
