Locally brewed beer

My husband recommends this place if you like IPA’s and interesting flavors. I’m not a beer girl, but I enjoy the sangria slushee in spring and summer, and the caramel apple slushee in fall and winter.

My husband recommends this place for German lagers and British ales. He likes the Dunkel. I’m writing this review as I sit at the Blue Stallion by the window, looking out at the snow and drinking the Blue Stallion hot toddy. Yum!

Hands down, the best barbecue I’ve ever had. And, you can smell it smoking all day long from our front porch. The cocktails are also delicious. The outdoor seating has great ambiance.

I was reluctant to try the escargot, but everybody recommended them. They were so good! All the food and wine was amazing. This is a lovely little date spot. The owner and all of the staff are warm and friendly. This has been a Lexington hot spot for years. I can’t believe it took us so long to discover it, but it’s definitely a new favorite.

My husband likes steak and I like sushi, so we always find a happy balance here. I’m my opinion, one of Lexington’s top 5.

This is one of my favorites! This place is full of Kentucky charm, whether you eat outside on the patio or inside the historic home. I get the pork loin and corn pudding every time! I should branch out, but it’s just so good.

This is my kids’ favorite. Humongous slices of pizza in a cool old warehouse. The lunch special is pretty nice. You get pizza, a drink and a side or dessert. The kids go for either the giant breadstick or the cannoli. This place is family friendly, but there is also a 21 and over section upstairs.

Try the blackberry buttermilk ice cream! Or perhaps you’d prefer the bourbon ice cream. It’s all local, fresh and delicious here.

Try the sandwiches, try the soup and definitely try the pie! The staff here is wonderful. The patio is pet friendly and they will bring your furry friend some water and maybe even a treat.

Dudley’s has a classy, yet relaxed, atmosphere. You can sit in the lounge or eat in the elegant dining room. I love their rolls and have to be careful not to fill up on them, because the food here is amazing! I hear brunch is awesome. If you try it, tell me what you think.

This restaurant is small, so get there early. This is my favorite local breakfast place. The savory French toast is so good. They also have seasonally flavored options. You can walk there from the Airbnb.

My family enjoys strolling down Jefferson street to Sorella for some gelato. It’s always fresh and there are always seasonal and unique flavors. The hours tend to be a little unpredictable, so check to make sure they are open before you go.

This is my favorite restaurant on Jefferson street! It’s a very “Lexington” dining experience. The patio is fabulous and the food is too. I love the goat cheese ravioli and the fried chicken. (That’s all I’ve tried so far!) The house dessert is a chocolate, raspberry and macadamia mouse. It’s light and so yummy!

This is the per place to spend a slow morning. (Check their hours before you come. ) They serve coffee every day and brunch on the weekends. If the weather is nice be sure to venture to the back for a seat in the grove.

I vote this the most unique dining experience in Lexington. And the sushi is the best I’ve ever had!

No fru fru drinks, but have a good cup of French press, or some freshly brewed tea along with a delicious slice of cheesecake. Occasionally, they have a crepe food truck set up in the back during lunch. Nice outdoor seating area.

We love this little ice cream shop! The milkshakes are a work of art.

I love Bella’s! They have lovely cocktails and the best salads. The burrata is divine! Any entree with their fried chicken is a winner. It is just a cute and swanky place and I’m so glad that they are open for lunch.

When I go here, I feel like I’ve entered a different world! Ask for the Gatsby room, although any seat in the house is lovely. The sushi is the best I’ve ever had. All the seafood is extremely fresh. This is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion.

This place is fun! They have a big sports bar, a cool bowling alley, a huge arcade, and the most comfortable movie theater that I’ve ever been to! (Seriously, I’m totally spoiled now!) You can order food from the restaurant and have it delivered to your seat in the theater! There is also an attached parking garage and you can get free parking for a couple of hours.
