About
Epping's on Eastside is a restaurant, not a gay bar — but it's a place where the LGBTQ+ crowd feels right at home. With a mixed gay-straight clientele, housemade cured meats, and a local-first mindset, it's an inclusive spot for American cuisine. The vibe is upscale yet casual, with a full bar and happy hour. It's trendy but not pretentious.
The restaurant occupies a renovated historic building, formerly Epping Bottling Works. Reservations are accepted, and there's outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Best nights are Wednesday and Thursday. If you're exploring Lexington's dining scene, you can grab a scoop nearby at Crank & Boom Craft Ice Cream afterwards.
