    Margherita pizza

    Amazing pizza. possibly the best pizza i've had ever. The vodka sauce and tomato sauce was outstanding. There was quite a wait before we got our pizza, but for us it was worth it.

    Our drinks for the night

    The fungi panini was absolutely delicious! My husband and I will be stopping here again next time we come to Lexington ‍

    I enjoyed the beers - Chess Club Fist Fight and Arcadian Rhythm were standouts. Also love that they had a Brown Ale (Bob Paisley) on tap, which is uncommon. Got a flight and also tried some of the Castle Hill Cider. Service was fast and friendly, and the place had a cool vibe on the inside. Food was more of a mixed bag. We had a Portobello pizza, which was a little lacking in substance for the price. Also two Carnivore Paninis that were a little greasy and light on the mozzarella cheese. While everything was cooked well, few of the flavors really stood out.

    Heliotrope Brewery I love the vibes right when walking into Heliotrope. Their beers and glasses are also beautiful which is an added bonus. This was my second time visiting and we always get the gluten free pizza. This is the best gluten free crust I've ever had, hands down. What we ordered hummus plate with pita and add on veggies always sunny - oil based, shaved sirloin, sautéed pepper and onions, garlic provolone, and cheese wiz carnivore - red sauce, capicola, salami cotta, Italian sausage, bacon, mozzarella, finished with rosemary chimichurri To add on to the experience, you get pizza scissors to cut your own pie!

    Pizza that is cut with a pair of scissors!

    My sister and I were on a hiking weekend in the area, and we hit this place up for lunch after a lengthy morning hike. Good beer, great service, and incredible food. The bartender made recommendations for beers to try based on our preferences, and she was spot-on. She also helped us decide on food options that would be filling without being too heavy. Everything was super fresh. The veggie and hummus platter was such a surprise just how good it was. The pizza comes with a pair of scissors to cut slices, which was comical but was really nice to cut exactly as much as we wanted. The pizza was great, but it was the dough (which was the same as the Flatbread that came with the dip platter) that was our favorite part of the meal. We both kept going back for more dip with the bread, even after we were full, because it was just that good!

    This has become my favorite lunch stop on my travels past I81 and I64. Mainly bc I love love love great beer. I have lauded the quality of IPAs and stouts on Untappd. See Untappd for some of the crisp, dry terrific IPAs they make. The barrel aged stouts are beautiful. But let's go food, the brick oven pizzas are scrumptious, unusual and with fresh ingredients. The carnivore for example has Italian meats, dried cured delicious. The salads are not to be missed, there are often only two but everyone I've had was spectacular. One was a fresh seasonal peach salad. Another a caprese...wow. So good. It's a gorgeous historic town with two historic universities, but I'll say this too. The clear display of inclusion (see picture) in the window made a wonderful impact on me personally as an ally. Well done. I'll return again and again.

    Ambiance (5/5): It has a very clean and calm vibe. Drinks (5/5): They had a limited selection of beer. We got the Berry Sagittarius sour smoothie beer (half-pour $5, full-pour $7). It was absolutely delicious! If you're passing through Lexington, I recommend swinging by Heliotrope to try this beer!

    Another great time at Heliotrope. Wood fired pizzas, good drink selection and great ambiance. I'm waiting for their street corn seasonal pizza, but in the meantime these will do. Great staff. Yummy fresa ingredients and nice during the summer with the college kids out of town. Enjoy!

    Beer was great salad too. Pizza is usually amazing, I think this last one was baked a few hrs ahead and got soggy. I'll try again though

    Ask the Community - Heliotrope Brewery

    Does your pizza crust have egg?

    We make our own hand tossed dough daily and it has no egg in it. We also sell gluten free crusts which we don't make ourselves. The manufacturer says they are egg free. (Our kitchen is not celiac safe though.)

    Any gluten friendly options?

    Yes! We have gluten free dough (but our kitchen isn't celiac safe), a variety of salads, hummus, labneh and dahl.

    Devil's Backbone, like a good story, doesn't try too hard--and that's exactly why it works…read more We wandered in for an early dinner, the kind of stop you tell yourself will be quick and sensible. But the beer had other ideas. As expected, it was excellent--cold, confident, and clearly in no mood to be rushed. Everything was clean and orderly. The burger arrived and did not disappoint. Honest, well-made, the sort of meal that reminds you why you ordered it in the first place. My wife's brisket sandwich, meanwhile, was everything brisket ought to be--tender, rich, and just indulgent enough to feel like a reward rather than a mistake. Fries came alongside, hot and crisp, doing their job without complaint or ceremony. And then, on the way out--as these things tend to happen--we stopped at the bar. That's where we met Vance. What followed was less a quick cocktail and more a conversation with drinks attached. The cocktails were excellent, but the company made them memorable. Vance makes a great adult beverage. All in all, Devil's Backbone isn't just a place to eat and drink. It's a place where a simple plan quietly turns into a better evening than you expected.

    Devils Backbone has more business going on in the warmer weather. We visited at Christmas. The main…read morerestaurant and gift shop was open. There were outside fire pits. During the summer, there are BBQ areas and lots of out door seating. A large outside stage has bands and entertainment. There is a campground and RV area with shared shower houses. The camping area is year round. The gift shop has outdoor colors (forest green, browns) tops and sweatshirts. The long sleeved t-shirts are $29. The short sleeved tye died shirts were my favorite. The restaurant has the "resident" stuffed bear. At the entrance. We were expecting a 15 min wait but were seated earlier. The menu has a beer and beverage menu. The dining menu has burgers, fries and vegetarian items. We enjoyed hot chocolate. Our friends had sandwiches and fries. I enjoyed the vegan chili. It was delicious. Spiral noodles didn't work in the Mac and cheese. The place wasn't crowded. I bet that the grounds would be crowded with guests during the summer.
