Worth the Stop. Worth Going Back.
As Lexington becomes our new “big city” just down the road, my wife and I have started exploring some of the places we’ll hopefully be enjoying for years to come. One of the first on our list was The Lost Palm Rooftop Bar at The Manchester Hotel.
It did not disappoint.
The atmosphere is outstanding. Between the rooftop setting, the views, the music, and the overall vibe, it’s one of those places where you find yourself wanting to stay longer than you planned. The DJ was excellent, adding energy without overwhelming the conversation.
The food was every bit as impressive as the setting. The chicken skewers were perfectly cooked, and the queso chorizo with black beans was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the evening. The drinks were well made, and while this certainly isn’t a budget stop, the prices felt appropriate for the quality of the venue and the experience.
One piece of advice: make a reservation.
Especially on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights, book through OpenTable before you arrive. We were fortunate enough to make it work by moving tables once another party arrived, but it would have been much easier if we’d reserved ahead of time.
This is exactly the kind of place we’ll bring friends and out-of-town guests when they visit.
We’ll definitely be back.

Did the airstream 5 course dinner with a group of friends and it was beyond exceptional and the coolest experience I’ve had for a dinner in Lexington. It feels like you are in a different city and is one of a kind where there is truly nothing like it that I can compare to. I opted for the paired cocktails and I highly recommend getting the drink pairing as it adds another layer to the experience. Our server Paola was absolutely outstanding and the little things, like getting details about each dish and drink as they came out, was very cool. My favorite dish of the night was the raviolon because it was very unique and could tell how much work was put into the details of the dish and was packed with flavor. I’m usually not a fan of pasta but this was exquisite. Also, most of my friends raved about the dessert being the best they’ve ever had. This is one of those reviews where I almost don’t want people reading this so that it doesn’t get so busy to where I can’t go again. Truly an amazing dining experience all around!

Such a great place to go for a girls night! They serve such great drinks, the shareable plates are perfect size, and the atmosphere is so fun! Every server I’ve ever had at Lost Palm is super nice and attentive! The patio area is fun with the live music but it can be hard to hear. The large booths inside are nice as well, but I did have to reserve one weeks in advance to secure one! 10/10 recommend!!

Sarabeth greeted us the moment that we approached the bar area with warmth and a smile offering us a Valentine’s Day specialty drink “Neon Gods” which was AMAZING! She then spent the next hour giving us the best service I have ever experienced. She and her partner Camille( the funny one that looks like Maya Rudolph) made our time at Lost Palm better than perfect. We are spending the weekend at the Manchester and it has all been amazing, but these girls made it incredible. I hope that Lost Palm knows how blessed they are to have such amazing staff. I have spent a large part of my life in the industry and I know what works and these ladies WERK!! Thanks for making our Valentine's Day the best!

This place is so amazing!! The seating and atmosphere is absolutely stunning, the service was impeccable, and the food and drinks were delicious! This is the cutest place to grab and drink and relax in the nice spring or summer weather. The parking was a little difficult to find and the menu for food is a tad small but it is mainly a bar so it makes sense! 10/10 recommend this place!
