About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for special occasions
We're a bit like our hometown: sophisticated, well-traveled, but grounded in our roots. We believe there's nothing more important than taking time to dine well with family and friends in a beautiful space. And we have a passion for all things Bluegrass - curing our meats in-house, supporting the region's diverse farming and food community, and keeping a local-first mindset in everything we do. Epping's is located in a renovated historic building that once held Epping Bottling Works, home to the hustle and spirit of local entrepreneur John G. Epping. Today, we are proud to honor that history and be part of the energy of downtown Lexington's Warehouse Block.

    Made reservations for Eppings to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Didn’t expect to be seated in the bar. While service was good and the meal was tasty I never expected to enjoy it in the bar, why not the dining room for a quiet evening.?

    A creative menu with multiple options of small plates that are great for sharing. We shared burnt pork ends and chicken satay and a chop salad. All were excellent. The thousand island dressing on the salad was a real throwback and very good. This Savs ice cream for dessert was a great top off to a good dinner. Our waiter Jordan was professional friendly and made the experience.

    Just tried this place for the first time! It was pretty good. Service was a little slow there were a couple times our refills were late and the food itself did take a long time to come out. Food was fine, definitely oversalted every bit of it. Dont think the value is there with their higher priced items but I hear their brunch is where its at
