Dudley's On Short

Nestled in a serene, plant-filled haven, this open-air cafe serves up vibrant salads, fresh pretzels, and delightful brunch, all paired with craft beer and wine.

I've always been most interested in finding value, as it requires more skill than just buying what is expensive. To that end I believe you will find the best $10 collection in this part of the country at CornerWine. At Corner Wine, we've built a place that's under 500 sq feet with wines from all of the major producing areas. Here you will be comfortable with my pricing and the complete absence of "wine speak", so over done on menus and trade magazines. Almost everything we have is under $20!

Nestled in the Eastland Shopping Center, this quirky shop offers Kentucky-themed swag with a must-see Cocaine Bear exhibit that’s utterly delightful.

We're a bit like our hometown: sophisticated, well-traveled, but grounded in our roots. We believe there's nothing more important than taking time to dine well with family and friends in a beautiful space. And we have a passion for all things Bluegrass - curing our meats in-house, supporting the region's diverse farming and food community, and keeping a local-first mindset in everything we do. Epping's is located in a renovated historic building that once held Epping Bottling Works, home to the hustle and spirit of local entrepreneur John G. Epping. Today, we are proud to honor that history and be part of the energy of downtown Lexington's Warehouse Block.
