ch kind of city. A place to unwind in comfort and style, where everyone is welcome. A place to gather with friends and family, put your feet up, sip a glass of bourbon, and savor an unforgettable meal.

It’s a place you can return to again and again. Explore the very best of the Bluegrass State right here in Lexington—The Horse Capital of the World. There’s always room on the porch for one more.

Meet Bebe, the newest star of our Cats of the Bluegrass series!

Born in Georgetown and now living her best life at Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm, Bebe was a special gift from beloved farm friend Bea Snyder—her namesake and guardian angel.

Horse Capital of the World

Plain and simple, we love this city. We’ve got a laundry list of accolades that paint an impressive picture of why Lexington is so awesome. We’re the Horse Capital of the World, the Best Place in America to Grab a Drink, the Birthplace of Bourbon. Our dining scene, Beyond Grits, is second to none. But the true allure of Lexington lies in its authentic, extraordinary experiences that surround what makes us famous.
