The Most Delicious Venues & Event Spaces in Lexington

The Mane on Main

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"We chose the Main on Main as our reception venue after touring a few places in Lexington and have absolutely no regrets!We chose the MoM for a few reasons: it was close to our ceremony site, provided parking for guests that we could pay for (for a reasonable cost), on-site catering by Dupree, ability to seat our amount of guests, but mainly for the AMAZING skyline view of Lexington as the venue is on the top floor of the Chase building. Mike and I worked with their coordinator Heather, who was wonderful and so helpful throughout the planning process. She is a busy lady, but would always respond back to emails/phone calls whenever she could. We met with her ~5x before the wedding to plan, brainstorm ideas, and review details. She gave a few options for the layout of the reception and how things would "flow" but I deferred to her judgment as I thought she would know what would be the optimal way. For selecting our menu, we had so many options. We decided to do a buffet-style dinner so people could have more choice over their meal. It was honestly so hard to decide on dinner choices because everything sounded delicious. We did a beef tenderloin and chicken meat option, roasted broccolini and smashed potatoes with the sweet potato kale salad- ALL delish. We are still having people tell us how good the food was! The event thanks to Heather and our day-of-coordinator went off without a hitch! I highly recommend the venue as an event space- particularly for wedding receptions!"

Warrenwood Manor

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"Warrenwood Manor is by far one of the most beautiful venues in Kentucky folks. But that's not all that is beautiful, so are the kind people that work at this venue! I had the opportunity to work alongside Amber and Brittany while planning my client's​ wedding, and let me tell you these gals are some of the hardest working, most organized "can do attitude" venue coordinators I've ever worked with in my career. As a wedding planner from Los Angeles, we worked mostly via phone, and email, and the process was smooth, communication was great and it was a wonderful time truly! Amber exchanged pictures of the lawns, floorplan examples and even measured out the lawn for our lighting & tent needs. And on the day of the wedding Amber and the Warrenwood Team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make dreams come true for the client and my team! I am blown away by their southern hospitality​ and even more so with their dream wedding venue. Look no further, with these girls and Warrenwood Manor- they will treat you amazingly, book your wedding or event here! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!"

Progress Park Airstream Resort & Event Venue

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Such a wonderful, unique experience in Louisville! We returned this year to rent the 502 House for two days and paid for an event to celebrate my oldest graduating from high school. Day one with family, the second having a handful of friends to fill up the house that sleeps 10 people. The 502 House has plenty of indoor fun as well. You MUST check out its photos on their website. Parking sits directly behind the house which was convenient for our guests. Its only downfall is there's only one bathroom!! Thankfully the property has a couple of group bathrooms nearby. The property has grown with an event hall and more airstreams. I also loved walking the back paths behind the campers and houses. They've done a wonderful job weaving the path under the canopy of trees to create privacy. If you need to get a walk or jog in, you're covered.There's no lack of kayaks, paddle boards or life jackets. Even though most spaces were filled, we did not feel crowded. My kids and their friends played pickle ball on their new court. A beautiful space and quiet at night. I'm looking forward to returning and making more memories. The team running Progress Park took great care of us and I'd recommend this space to anyone."

Megson Farms

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"We booked a tour and Pegasus picnic. The tour was interesting, and informative and the horses and property were beautiful. We were able to feed carrots to the horses! Our picnic dinner was fun, well presented and very tasty. We really enjoyed the whole evening and the time put into making this a fun visit for our family."

The Sports & Social Club

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (310) • $$

"Fun and upbeat! Fast service. We just got an appetizer and pitcher. Great place to hang out with friends!"

The Last Refuge

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32)

"Such a cool place. Beautiful spaces - enough options you can be in with the crowd or in a small intimate booth. When fully opened different areas would be reservable for events. Features Bob Dylan's bourbon- he explained that the cogs pictured on the bottle represent the sculptures he makes/sells and then gives the profits to charity. Can't wait for all the spaces to open!! It's so refreshing to see church space revitalized!!"

Tri County Shrine Club

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I love the TriCounty Shriners Club in Clarksville!This is a busy that has something for everyone. They host bingo weekly, dinner is served on Friday nights and there is always card games and social gatherings happening all the time. They have a great kitchen staff that puts together one heck of a buffet. You can rent the facility if you are having a special event just make sure you call to see if there is availability. The kitchen is outstanding and extremely clean and organized thanks to a young lady by the name of Jennie, she has a very competent staff that will make your event greatAmple parking and a full service bar!What else could you ask for?Stop by say hello and see for yourself what they have to offer. You will be very impressed!"

Stella’s Venue

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Right in the heart of downtown Louisville. A small event space with huge potential for stellar events with proper lighting & styling. My only concern is limited parking, they should offer valet or consider valet if hosting an event at this location."

Ogle Foundation Woodland Pavilion

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"This is a nice little foundation Woodland pavilion here at the fantastic Broad Run Park I mean it's right there they have good information posted they have restrooms for you to use they have benches to sit to where me and my family has brought lunch is in different things that have eaten here on numerous occasions so it's a really cool place check out it's a really nice place and just relax and plan your day"

Proof 124 Table and Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.2 (187) • $$

"The service was great. The restaurant was open air. It was about 85 degrees but the fans kept us cool enough. The outside chairs were comfortable. The food was even better. We had just come from the Spartan race our group of six was starving. The soft pretzel with cheese was delicious. We ordered their undecided fries and we devoured them along with the homemade ranch. I hade the coconut shrimp basket it was great.Everyone else had a cheeseburger. We will make our way back to this place."

Freedom Hall

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (17)

"Freedom hall is a legendary arena in Louisville Kentucky smack dab in the middle of the Kentucky Fair and expo center. Originally opened in 1956 it seats 18,865 people for basketball games and 19,200 people for concerts. Was the long time home of local university and my personal favorite team the University of Louisville Cardinals. The cardinals moved over to the Yum center after the 2010 season. Freedom Hall also once hosted numerous huge concerts. Mainly country concerts but has hosted huge names in other genres such as Elvis Presley, kids, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. They have hosted wwf/e ppvs and events. Now mainly they host bellarmine knights home basketball games and odds and ends things like the circus or tractor pull shows. This was once a state of the art facility but it has not been taken care of for years. Very ran down and sorry now. However the nostalgic feeling when I walk around the 360 degree halls outside the arena is amazing. All kinds of great memories and times were had here. The exterior walls has plaques of the Kentucky athletic hall of fame which is pretty cool. They do have plenty of bathrooms and concessions set around the arena too. Overall I'm probably rating it higher due to nostalgic. It really is in rough shape right now and I hope the city or state steps up and restores it soon before we lose this historic building."

Conrad/Caldwell House Museum

★★★★★ 4.9 (55)

"This is a neat big house, museum, home whatever right next to Saint James Court and Central Park. I was out exploring, came across thought. This was a very unique and historic looking museum."

Bluegrass Extended Stay

★★★☆☆ 3 (20) • $$

"I had a semi-decent stay here. The room is clean and the hotel is located in a great area of Lexington next to a major shopping mecca. If you want to go to Lowe's, this is literally next door to it. I think my biggest and only complaint of the place was the noise. It can get a bit noisy due to paper-thin windows. I think some people would complain that this place is dated, but I do not mind dated hotels. I think it adds character and when I say dated - it is 1980s-ish. Customer service was solid. He was super nice and really accommodating to my needs - what needs I had - which weren't many. I am pretty easygoing to with 1 night states at places I book last minute such as this."

Enchanted Forest Luxury Cabin

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Amazing place for your outdoor needs to be met! This is every outdoorsmans dream! Me and my family come here every chance we get!"

Rivers Edge Events & Rentals

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"If you're looking for a venue to get married in, throw a birthday party or just host a celebration, Rivers Edge rental hall is your place.Being from the Bullitt County area, I've spent several evenings in this building when it was ran by the Shriners. Recently Rivers Edge leased the building and did a massive overhaul inside and out. A night and day difference compared to the old space. I toured the new area with the hopes of renting the building for my parents surprise 50th wedding anniversary. I was more than impressed! The staff was very helpful and patient with the thousands of questions I had. They are flexible and will do anything to help you plan your special event. The pricing was very acceptable and didn't break the bank. They offer a few different packages to fit your needs. Tables and chairs, they have them. Center pieces and decorations, they have those too. If you think of something they don't have, they try their hardest to find it! Rivers Edge helped me pull off the perfect surprise party for my parents. They will help you with whatever event you are wanting to celebrate. Stop by and take a tour yourself."

Bradshaw-Duncan House

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"We came here for a work event. Would be perfect for a wedding. Beautiful space both inside and out. I did not take any pictures. The catering was incredible. Attention to detail is amazing here. Such a beautiful venue."

Moon Dance Amphitheater

★★★★★ 4.5 (6)

"Talk about a good time! You can't beat free live music on Thursday evenings at the Moondance Amphitheater! We saw Hammertowne, and it was an outstanding performance. Though there's no charge, you can support the bands by purchasing their merchandise while you're there. It's a great venue with plenty of parking and lots of space on the green for your lawn chairs and blankets. The area is terraced ensuring that every seat is a good one. Bonus: nice bathroom facilities, no port-a-potties!You can bring your own food or order from a rotating selection of food trucks, as well as libations. So much fun and I can't wait to return!t"

Paroquet Springs Conference Centre

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"There's a nice conference center that my family and I have been to about each year for the past 56 years because they always have different kids events and you vote here for the elections and there's kindergarten kick off which is what we went to tonight. It's a nice building on the inside it gets super crowded because the amount of people that are there so he was a little bigger that would be great to accommodate everyone But overall this is an a convenient location and is a nice building to have events"

The Olmsted

★★★★☆ 4.4 (12)

"The Olmsted is a great event venue! I have attended and worked at several events here and they've been awesome!I worked the Derby Poker Celebrity Bourbon Bash here two years in a row and had a wonderful time. The drinks were good, the food was great, and the surroundings were beautiful. I love the architecture of the historic building, which was constructed between 1925 and 1927. If you're looking for a large event venue for a wedding, a gala or fundraiser, or any other kind of private event, I think The Olmsted is perfect!"

The Jefferson Venue

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"What used to be the Rocky's by the river is now a pretty decent music venue. I came here with some friends to see a 90's country cover band. Since this is a relatively new venue, there were some kinks. Going in, we didn't have tickets so we went to the counter to purchase. There really wasn't any direction at the door so we kind of just wandered in. We found where we could purchase tickets for the show but with the lack of direction - we could have just walked in without paying. There are multiple restrooms and they were extremely clean, even later in the night. There is a raised section with some seating. Plenty of dance space. There is also a bar with both cocktails and draft beer (mostly Upland Brewing offerings). Prices weren't bad and the line moved pretty quickly. The venue holds a pretty decent amount of people and I look forward to seeing more shows there. Not going to lie, I already have tickets to see O-Town ($20 tickets - I was NOT going to pass this up!)"

Silk Rental Hall LLC

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Great location for track parking. Safe, secure, great food and drink with clean restrooms. Highly recommend."

Bourbon Barrel Loft

★★★★☆ 3.8 (27)

"This review is for the BBC Loft, the event venue on the 3rd floor. I recently rented it again for a work event and highly recommend it.We worked with Lisa G, their event planner. Because we had rescheduled our event dates, she provides me with all the details I needed to make a quick decision. There is a room rental fee, but it's reasonable and includes the set-up and fresh flowers.The menu is straight forward, offering 1-3 entrees and various sides. Salad and/or dessert can be added to the menu, and you can bring in your own dessert (and for a small fee, they'll cut up and serve this too).I love the private bar and they take credit card! Cash bars are the worst for events. We had a sponsor for cocktail hour and Lisa made sure to manage the timing and charges for us.My team raved about everything - the food, the vibe, the bartenders, the lounge area (couches you'll never want to leave) .. it got a bit warm with our group, but Lisa did her best to keep the temp cooler - and the next day she was calling a service person to ensure it wasn't a future issue. The room does have columns. It makes for a bit of a visual challenge if your presenting, but Lisa provided my speakers with a cordless hand mic. With it being on the 3rd floor, also keep this in mind for guests that may struggle with the walk up. Also, the windows surrounding the venue will give your event an expensive feel especially at night when the buildings and bridge are lit.I have received rave reviews about our event and I cannot say enough about Lisa and her team. She came out to check in with me several times and "made it happen". She also interacted with our guests and made sure to know which VIPs to watch for.My only disappointment is that I don't have disposable income to have regular events here."

The Greenhouse at Zeppa's

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"The Greenhouse hosted a City Champs networking event and it was a pleasant surprise. They offer a large outdoor area with patio seating and umbrellas in addition to an indoor clubhouse. Our event was indoors and offered a few table games as well (jenga, pool, connect 4). They had plenty of space for small groups to catch up, from open floor to seating areas. The only con during my visit was the strong smell associated with being at a lawn care/landscaping business.Private parking lot with plenty of spaces. The Greenhouse is located in an industrial setting, with a concrete business across the street."

The Storehouse Coffee & Gifts

★★★★★ 4.6 (10)

"This is one of the best coffee shops I've been to for ambiance. The coffee shop is extremely spacious and it is easy to get comfortable. There are classic tables and chairs, upholstered seating, and my favorite, the couch. The decor and woodwork was fun to admire.The coffee was enjoyable and I'd drink it again if I were in the area. Service was very efficient and friendly."

The Pointe

★★★★☆ 4 (19)

"The Pointe is a cool place for a wedding.It is Pinterest-Picture-Perfect. A pretty mash up of industrial minimal meets rustic.I have attended two different weddings here, and both were absolutely wonderful. They both had very similar feels to them, because the space has a defined aesthetic to it already, and there is only so much that can be done to change up a space that during the week also is home to other businesses and studios. But it also appears as though they are happy to work with you to provide unique and individual touches.It is an all-in-one venue. Space for the ceremony as well as the reception. A reception room big enough for a decent sized wedding party table, cake table, bar, cozy guest tables for dinner, and still space for an ample dance floor.The restrooms are clean and there are enough to handle a weddings' worth of folks through out the night with minimal lines.They have a dedicated, though small parking lot, and as long as there isn't a huge event at Copper and Kings up the road, ample street parking is available.The ceremony chairs could use some refreshing/replacing. The first wedding I attended here had many people annoyed and embarrassed that the seats of the chairs weren't holding properly and falling towards the ground...sometimes bringing their seated cargo with them. It was a slight comfort once one realized that they were not alone in this occurrence...but still embarrassing.Certainly worth checking out as a venue, if you are looking for a joint ceremony/reception space!"

The Brennan House

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Recently I attended a private event at the Brennan House. I had never been inside this mansion or even paid much attention to it before. However - after attending a great YELP Elite Event I can't wait to take a few members of my family to the next event. If you are looking for a classic event space, historical perspective, or amazing photo opps - the Brennan House should be in the cards. It would make a great cocktail space or another holiday party. As a door prize I won 2 free tickets and can't wait to see what it looks like after the holidays."

Elizabethtown Tourism & Convention Bureau

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Very helpful staff and they have some very little known event rooms/halls that they will rent for special events to the community or private parties. They are very well equipped with tables, shares sound system and to top it off friendly staff."

Chenault Vineyards

★★★★☆ 4.1 (27) • $$

"It's easy to think that you're lost on your way there, but keep going. It's at the end of the road. I was there on Saturday for brunch and then again on Thursday for yoga and dinner. The inside is beautiful and clean. The outdoor patio is relaxing with nice views of the large vineyard. The menu is pretty small but they offer pizza, soups, chicken salad and a few other meals. We had the veggie pizza one day and the margarita pizza the other day. Veggie pizza was delicious but the other pizza was pretty bland. The pizzas are large enough for three maybe four people. They offer red wine flights, white wine flights, sweet wine flights and fruit wine flights for only $7.00! There's a venue to rent for events. And they have various events throughout each month such as yoga, live music, etc. They sell bottles of their wine, souvenirs and booze flavored truffles, cupcakes and other candies. I tried the Sangria Boozy cupcake that I thought was too dry but my daughter tried the Peach Boozy cupcake and she loved it. A neat place to hang out and catch up with friends or a date night....."

The Wellhouse at Jim Beam

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"What a great and beautiful location! The history of the Beam distillery is amazing. They've got quite a bit of the oldest bourbon distilled there, obviously not for sale, but mint condition. Large gift shop and a great tasting room!"

Trellis Brewing

★★★★★ 4.8 (15)

"Decided to explore trellis brewing for the Sunday trivia. It was our first time in the space. It was kind of surprising because you're in a gravel parking lot next to an abandoned building but trellis is this cute building that has been redone fabulous patio. There's plenty of space outside and space inside. It's a great location to be able to work from home, read, or just hang out with friends. The interior is cozy and comfortable. The bar is well marked. And they have great options. Also, the bathroom was fascinating with a very industrial look. I thought it was great to share the sink area between the bathrooms. It was such a beautiful area and I really enjoyed the ambiance with friends."

The Clubhouse at Canewood

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2)

"great flat bread pizza and chicken quesadillas. excellent service and great prices. Awesome atmosphere"

The Grand Reserve

★★★★☆ 4.1 (12)

"The space, recently redone, is now comprised of four different venues -- the Grand Reserve, Barrel House, Speakeasy, and Distillery District. I would call them warehouse chic. Much attention to detail has created unique spaces, with exposed brick walls, one original from the 1860's, and walls made from barrel stays. It is now the home of Bluegrass Catering. I suggest you call and ask Kelly, one of the partners, to give you a tour to fully appreciate what has been done to this Distillery District venue. Quite something."

WorkShop the creative workplace

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"Came into Louisville for work planning and one of the locals found this as an offsite location for us to meet. The giant brick building it's in is awesome and I enjoyed looking in on the various businesses based out of this location. Workshop is no exception. I think by day they rent it out to companies for team bonding / off site - but at night it looks like it turns into a preschool. Lots of toys everywhere, color on the walls, big comfy chairs and beanbags. Probably not where you'd go to hold your next board meeting, but the sort of place where they encourage conversation and creativity. The staff was very friendly and ensured our coffee was stocked. The fridge had all you can drink soda. Our lunch was catered in (I'm assuming).The only incident I had was that the PDF / directions provided to me had the wrong address. It listed 105 E. Washington, instead of 1205 E. Washington . I'm not sure who made the mistake (it very well could have been an error on our side), but I did wander around in the Humana building trying to find this place - only I was off by 5 miles."

Ernie’s Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.9 (12)

"I wanted to love this place. Great interior, will come back to enjoy some bowling. We ordered the hamburgers, they were tasteless and gray on the inside. The onions made my eyes water before I took a bite of the burger, so I quickly discarded, perhaps a bit dated. The tater tots tasted freezer burned, so I will get the fries next time, but no one at the table had hot fries or hot tater tots, kind of a threshold issue for any fried tater to taste good. I would say simplify your menu so what goes out tastes good, but the menu is already very basic. Perhaps the cook could handle a pan-fried ham and cheese sandwich, and make sure the fries are hot before sent out to customers. The hamburger appears to be the star of the show and the best I can say about it is, "it did not get me sick"."

TEN20 Craft Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (102) • $$

"I love when a friend introduces me to a new place that I wind up loving. Ten20 in Anchorage is just such a place. After saying for ages that we would get together, friends and I decided to meet to catch up at Ten20 in Anchorage. It was centrally located for all of us and the perfect spot for an afternoon of leisurely visiting. I drank the Blueberry Faux-jito, and it was so beautiful and delicious. We sat under the shade of a tree while we visited, and once I got hungry there was a small array of snacks inside that I didn't hesitate to try out. I do wish they offered something more substantial like a charcuterie board, but maybe that's in the works. The interior is just as beautiful and inviting as the outside. Intimate tables are clustered around throughout, and downstairs are some comfortable chairs accompanied by board games. I'll add this to my list of places to revisit!"
