EKDonPedrosStore

Don Pedros Mexican Grill located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky is a wonderful prize! Mexican Food is a family favorite and this spot doesn’t disappoint. I have frequented this establishment quite a few times because I love their margaritas and their food. Not once have I had a bad experience. The staff greets you with a smile and is very attentive. The bar is adorable and would be a great place to meet for a drink after work.

The prices are very reasonable and they also have 15% off all day on Thursdays! They  have daily appetizer specials as well.  Can’t beat that! We were there last week and it looks as though they are adding a patio. Nothing better than a patio and a cold margarita.

Patio Weather… Charlie Brown’s Restaurant.. Lexington, Kentucky

EKCharlieBrownsPatio
Well it is that time of year where enjoying dinner on a patio is a main priority. We love meeting friends for a drink at Charlie Brown’s on Euclid in Lexington. Their patio, even though it sits in a parking lot has lots of appeal. It is very obvious this is very much a neighborhood bar. Many regulars at this quaint spot, which I very much enjoy. Dogs are also welcome on the patio.

The inside is just as unique with the walls lined with bookshelves and old couches for you to enjoy with family and friends. Be sure and give your eyes a moment to adjust as it is quite dark. However the cozy atmosphere of this bar and restaurant really gives it an eccentric feel. I usually meet friends for just a drink here, however I can’t go without having their hot pepper cheese. I love these little bites of heaven dipped in ranch dressing.

Red State BBQ… Lexington, Kentucky

Red State BBQ is a wonderful treat right outside of Lexington, Kentucky. If you love BBQ you can’t go wrong with this unique spot. This roadside restaurant has wonderful food. You know when you can’t get into the parking lot they have something great to offer. We have eaten at Red State BBQ twice and each time has been amazing. The menu is great, with lots of different options and the sides are amazing. I have to recommend the Mac and Cheese, it is incredible!

If you are going to the Kentucky Horse Park for a day of fun,  I strongly recommend trying this little joint right around the corner on Georgetown Road. The staff is very knowledgeable and greets you with a smile! They also offer catering and have a Food Truck as well. If you don’t follow them on Facebook be sure and check them out here.

 

Ethereal Brewing – Distillery District…. Lexington, Kentucky

The joy of living close to Lexington is partaking in the growth of this unique town. The Distillery District is an area that is growing and the historic atmosphere is really neat. When you drive into this area it has an exciting appeal. Can’t wait for the summer months to enjoy this area even more. Ethereal Brewing is a great addition and with their craft beer selection you can’t go wrong! They also have a food truck at night for dinner. I love how the food trucks and breweries pair up to make a night out a great experience. I did try a sampler at Ethereal and my favorite was the Oatmeal Stout. However they do have a “guest tap list” that is constantly rotating so that always brings a great variety on top of their own craft beer selection. One major plus about this area is the parking. They have a huge parking lot which is always an added bonus!
