This place is a joke. What restaurant would not be happy to accommodate a large party of 15-20 people? On a SUNDAY evening? I was meeting a bunch of my classmates here on a Sunday evening for drinks and appetizers. The manager kept insinuating that 20 people was too much for them to handle without reservations. We told him that we couldn't determine in advance how many people would actually show up. When we walked in at 6 o'clock, the place was deserted. There were so many empty tables. They "managed" to accommodate us. All of the servers except for one, had an attitude. I guess they didn't want to really work on a Sunday evening? They weren't expecting this large group on a Sunday evening I guess. I will say that the drinks and the food were good. But the negative attitudes ruined the experience for me. read more

I'm not sure what to say about Lost Palm and we had a bit of an odd experience. We were staying at the hotel and went up the first night and lounged and had drinks and watched the FIFA game and had a nice experience. So nice that I said we should spend the next night there and try the food and chill again. Not exactly their fault but the second night they were hosting some sort of party up there that took up most of the lounge area of the restaurant and was so loud. I should have known just to leave but wanted to try the food. The food was OK. That's it. The drinks were pretty good as long as you stuck to what was in the menu. Every server we had was great though. And the place is beautiful and you feel like you are in a different world kind of up there. 5 stars the first night. 3 or less the second averages to a 4 I guess. read more

We were there on a very windy Friday night! And it did get chilly in the spring weather. I had the tuna poke bowl and it was very good. More filling than expected. We also had an appetizer of shrimp, which were nice sized. We both had the Rye-tie cocktails minus the drink umbrellas because they blew out due to the wind! Cocktails are good, but strong! Staff was very nice and accommodating. 10/26 read more

Lost Palm - Really Good Hot Dogs! These may not be on the menu all the time. They were in April 2026. - Bars Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Love this place for the rooftop, but honestly the entire experience is amazing. The indoor ambiance is just as impressive and creates such a fun, upscale vibe. It's one of my favorite spots for special occasions or even just for apps and cocktails. The cocktails are always perfectly curated with a fun tropical flair, and the appetizers are excellent too. The tuna appetizer is especially fantastic. read more

Five stars on the aesthetics and vibe alone. We didn't try the food (bar food like guacamole and chips, tostadas, mushroom fritters, ceviche, skewers, tacos, etc). Had a couple drinks. Nothing exciting and probably overpriced, but you're here for the tropical vibes, the beautiful plants, the instagrammable shots. The service was excellent; super hospitable and kind hostess and server. Karaoke started later in the evening, and that was a sight to behold. You could have fun just watching peoples' personalities unfold as they sang off tune. There is valet parking for a fee, and parking across the street is free until 6 PM, and then it's only like 3 bucks and something an hour after 6 PM. read more

Really disappointed with this place because it has so much potential. The space is beautiful, and it's a great spot to relax, chat with friends, and enjoy a drink, but that's about where the positives ended for me. After reading mixed reviews about the food, I decided to keep it simple and ordered the chips and queso. Unfortunately, the chips were stale, and I even found a hair on my cloth napkin, which wasn't a great first impression. The drinks were good, but with such a small food menu, I think every item should be done well. If the food isn't going to meet that standard, I'd rather see a smaller menu or no food at all. I really hope they improve because the atmosphere is fantastic, and this place could easily be one of the best spots in town. read more

We attended the Garden & Gun event with friends yesterday. Lost Palm opened at 4pm so we stuck around. Very cool roof top bar. The weather was perfect. For appetizers we all split the Beef Empanadas, Shrimp Empanadas, Queso & Chorizo, as well as the Guacamole & Chips. Our favorites were the Guacamole & Chips and the Beef Empanadas. I had the Spicy Senorita cocktail, which had some heat to it and was delicious. The service was excellent. read more

I love all the fun events at Lost Palm! I recently attended trivia and it was a GREAT experience with a variety of questions. The food was amazing and my drinks were STRONG. My favorite was the Pink Pony and the Key Lime martini (can't remember the name... as I said, the drinks were strong!). Love the decor - Miami meets Horse Country and worthy of our own season of White Lotus! Staff was on top of it even when busy, and overall, a great night with friends! read more

Back to Lost Farm, this time with friends. We sat on the rooftop deck. I love the place itself, but there are negatives, at least for me. Super crowded and loud. When the music started you couldn't have a conversation, and the floor actually vibrated. I recommend going weeknights. There's no free parking unless you're lucky enough to get a spot on a side street. Otherwise, it's valet or the lot across the street from the hotel. The lot is relatively small. You pay with QR code according to how long you plan to be there. I got the last parking spot. Just to be safe, I paid $10. for 3-6 hours. I had the cod cakes which came with a nice salad, a good sized appetizer. Waiter was very attentive. Tip --- skip weekends. 73 read more

What a hidden gem! This rooftop restaurant is located inside the Manchester hotel. You do not have to be a guest of the hotel and there's a special elevator that takes you straight to the roof. The parking was a little confusing because it was valet only so I'm not sure if that was just for guest or for anyone. And I don't know how much the valet cost. I opted to park across the street and it cost me around $10 for three hours of parking. You'll find a drink menu and light appetizers at this establishment. The appetizer though are pretty hearty and very filling. Beef empanadas are delicious. I tried the pink pony, Drake, and with the hibiscus and tequila. It was very refreshing and delicious. It seems every Thursday night they do trivia and we had a great time. read more

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! read more

Really fun rooftop bar with lots of neat decor (the ultimate tiki bar vibes with the rattan and colors). Cocktails were absolutely amazing, they have a lot of unique flavors and drinks. Food was pretty solid, but the vegan options were not the greatest when they got colder. Service was great, it does get VERY loud on event nights. read more

Romantic, fun tropical vibe. Drink menu might be on the fruity side, but do know they serve regular drinks as well. Food menu is very limited but the few things we had were quite good. I was sorry they were out of the jerk chicken lollipops cause I really wanted to try them. Two of shared the Crab Dip with Plantain Chips, the Papas Fritas, the Cubano and Tres Leches cake. All were really good! Wise to make reservations! We chose to sit inside, but went outside for sunset and another drink. Service was terrific. Very much enjoyed our time at this rooftop bar of the gorgeous Manchester Hotel. read more

SUPER CUTE ROOFTOP. This is where you go with your crew to dress cute, sip on tropical cocktails and take a bunch of pictures. It's giving, Tulum/ Tropical Vaca Vibes. Drinks are $money$ & yummy but you're really just paying for the ambiance. Tbh prices are standard for being on top of a fancy hotel so that goes for the food too. Foods fine, I personally would rather just stumble down a few inches down the street and grab a pizza. I took off a star for the diva at the host stand that told us we needed a reservation to get on this empty roof. I'm in the service industry, I understand. But dude, the place isn't crackin' and we just an a drink and post on IG so we can be on our way. --Thank you for letting us do that. read more

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing! I feel like we are on vacation and we live here. The rooftop is incredible and we loved plants everywhere. We had cocktails which were super expensive ($18 each) and we loved the Jerk Chicken Lollipops! Can't wait to come back. They even had a giant portable tv that they brought out for college football. read more

Severe disappointment. Don't even try to go here without a reservation because apparently you need one to sit down ANYWHERE. Coffee table? Reserved. High top? Reserved. Standing? Yelled at to sit down. The hostess was an atrocious mess telling me that my open table reservation would MAYBE work? I asked her why it wouldn't and she just kept telling me to try? What does that mean? This place is just trying to keep people out. At $15 a drink or more you think you'd prioritize customer service. We went to the distillery district instead. Avoid!! Spend money elsewhere!! read more

Fun food choices, small plates/sharable. Friendly staff. Great views and atmosphere. Excellent views of the city. Fantastic cocktails.

This is a cute little rooftop restaurant. There is an outdoor patio but there is also indoor seating. The empanadas were yummy. The drinks were strong and flavorful. It started drizzling while we were on the rooftop but our server was so nice we were able to move to the cabana. The server was very knowledgeable of the menu and the drinks. read more

It was very good! What a beautiful view and the vibe was posh yet relaxed. They sat us at a little two top on the corner of the balcony but it was super wobbly so they later moved us to one of the little cabana lounger things along the side of the balcony. The food was deeeeeelish!! We got the lamb tostados, shrimp empanadas, mushroom tacos, and guacamole. Everything was so good. The sauces were fantastic; so much flavor in the hot sauces and they weren't afraid to make them spicy. The shrimp empanadas were fantastic, perfectly baked crusts. The mushroom tacos were very surprising. We tried them because they sounded interesting. You could taste the wood smoke in the mushrooms. The cocktails were fantastic. Delicious, refreshing, and fun. Great experience, will definitely be going back soon! read more

I went to the Lost Palm for my first time last evening and it did not disappoint! I live in Chicago but went to school at UK and have heard great things about Lost Palm but never got to go until now. When we got off the elevator, we were greeted by beautiful colors and friendly staff. We did not have a reservation but were told we could grab a drink at the bar and sit at an open table on the patio (until a reservation needed it). This honestly worked perfectly for us as all we wanted was a quick drink and that was all. I ordered the Blinkers On and my friend opted for the Baby Bird (non-alcoholic) and both of us raved about our drinks. Not only were they tasty, but also very cute too! I cannot write this review without noting how absolutely awesome the staff is - they are energetic, so kind and welcoming, and truly so much fun to interact with. I cannot recommend Lost Palm enough to anyone looking for pre-dinner drinks or some fun apps and drinks with girlfriends or for a date night! Thank you, Lost Palm, for an absolutely fantastic first experience - I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Lex! read more

SUCH A BUMMER. I should have read reviews so I would have been prepared to have a hassle about seating. We arrived at 4pm AND WERE THE ONLY PATRONS THERE. And yet, with a reservation, the very smug, very young hostess tried to seat us next to the bathroom rather than at any other table. We asked for another table and she said she would have to ask someone. I think this happened because we might not be the target demographic as we are in our late 50s. We noticed this repeat over the next hour with other people who looked our age. Each of those patrons ignored her and sat where they wanted as did we eventually. As for the menu, our server made many excuses for it's limitations (why?) but we knew what to expect and didn't plan to order food. I ordered the best Mai Tai I've ever had- just perfect; superb. So good I had 2. One friend ordered a Negroni UP but it arrived on the rocks. The server didn't know what potato vodka they had (apparently none!) though she did catch the Negroni on the rocks- after it was delivered- and had it properly re-made. The most egregious service error was when one of our party ordered "trust your bartender, go off menu" and they brought him a drink STRAIGHT FROM THE MENU. WHAT?! Obviously he wanted something else. The server admitted she chose a menu drink for him. It was bizarre. The place is nice, the patio is lovely. It's just the people that make it so we'll not go back. And weirdly, it never got too busy during the couple hours we were there- mostly people our age (you know, the people that can afford multiple $18 drinks). When we left, we noticed the lobby bar in the Manchester was packed- probably because they all heard how irritating (and ageist) the Lost Palm is. Cool matches though. read more

This place is so cute. It definitely feels like a visit to Florida. From the plates to the glassware to the decor, it's adorable. Service was quick and friendly. We didn't have a reservation and they kind of made us feel awkward about that. So I recommend making a reservation. The drink menu is tropical and fun. The food selection is limited but it all looked good. But it's all pricey $16-18 for a cocktail and food was like $16-22 for small plates. It's definitely a cocktail bar and not a full on restaurant. read more

We walked in just randomly to finally check the place out now that the hype has kinda dropped for the hotel opening. Had a couple drinks, got a couple plates and had a fun time sitting outside on the gigantic rooftop area. The place is really cool looking, a very solid vibe for what it's going for with the 60s Florida race-track set up, and the small bits also complimented. We did the Cubano - which was solid and the chicken lollipops, which were quite spicy but not bad at all. Drinks were decent overall as well. Service was good, it was slow enough that we got a lot of attention and our waitress was chill. For a hotel bar, it's solid and something Lexington certainly is lacking. read more

Hands down the best rooftop bar experience available in Lexington. It's like being in a different state, and not simply just having an open air bar patio. Drinks were top notch, service was quick and efficient for such a busy Friday night, and had a blast. I greatly look forward to trying out the ground floor Granddam for the full experience. No wonder they're doing so well! read more

The service was horrible, we waited to sit had a reservation we were not allowed to sit outside however the following party asked to be seated outside with an indoor reservation and they were allowed to go outside. Asked for an espresso martini they said I had to go downstairs to get it myself. They couldn't get it cause they are to busy. The appetizers took over 45 minutes ended up cancelling it. Unsure why service is so bad it was a bar only thing being serviced was drinks mainly. The ambiance was ok very loud inside no music for a Miami theme place would expect the music to fit. The tequila cocktail I ordered was not great. Not my favorite place in Lexington read more

New rooftop lounge with lots of kinks to work out. For starters, we called ahead and let them know that we just wanted to have a cocktail at the bar. They reassured there would not be a need for a reservation. We arrived and the person checking us in told us it was an hour wait even if we wanted to just stand at the bar because they were "overwhelmed". After waiting an hour and 20 minutes in the main lounge downstairs, I checked back in with the hostess who obviously had forgotten to notify us when it was time for our reservation. She immediately sent us upstairs after being reminded by me checking back in . When we finally got upstairs they were not overwhelmed with many open tables. There was a high employee to guest ratio in addition but there was so much chatter among the employees we had trouble hearing ourselves. I ordered a drink and they informed me they no longer had that drink... since we had had to wait so long they no longer had the ingredients for the drink. If you're thinking about going here, maybe give it a few months. The drinks were not that great. hopefully with time they will get the bartenders trained up and work out all the kinks. read more

My reaction to Lost Palm was listen to the reviews. The vibes and aesthetics of the bar were absolutely great there's no doubt about it. The decorations, lighting, table wear all of it is beautiful. I would recommend if you're into a vibey bar but outside the aesthetics I wouldn't be back. The food was good but nowhere near worth the price. The drinks were too sweet and priced at $15-$18 it's not what I was expecting. When we got there it was decently busy but quickly cleared out and yet the service was spotty. I looked up all the pricing up before hand so I knew what I would be paying for but expected it to be better quality and service. If this was in a bigger city with a more prominent bar scene I would understand the pricing but for Lexington it was a bit high. So if you're going for the looks and don't care about the prices then I would say go and experience it, but otherwise I would pass. read more
