“My mom and her fiancé drove in from Gulf Shores, AL to attend my son’s (her grandson’s) college graduation from UK. I was able to book them 2 night at the Clarion for the event. After Saturday’s commencement, we wanted to celebrate. My mom and her fiancé were so impressed with Sedona Taphouse from the previous evening, that they treated us to an early dinner along with some drinks there. It was amazing from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. Our server was a delight, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Ben as he came over to not only check on us, but to shake my son’s hand and personally congratulate him on his achievement. He really made a big deal about his accomplishment and even went as far to pay for his meal, drinks and dessert. So unexpected! Ben went above & beyond and that food and atmosphere was outstanding. We frequent Lexington often, I’ve found my new spot for lunch or dinner. Thank you Ben!! We can’t thank you enough for making Mason’s special day even more memorable.“

“On July 5, 2025 we were visiting KY from OH searching for a great place to eat since the hotel kitchen closed at 11:00 p.m. When I tell you this is the perfect spot! Our server was Mathew and on a scale of 1-10 we give him 20 stars! If I had a business I’d definitely want him working there! He went above and beyond his job description! Thank you for finding a charger for me; I really appreciated that! Next time there’s going to be more in our group because we definitely spread the word! We hate we missed the band! Food, pricing and drinks excellent!“

“We were greeted as we walked in, people were friendly. They have trivia on Tuesdays and Roberta and Bob do a great job. We had so much fun!!!! No IPA but settled for a Guiness. We did not try the food but would love to go back and have a meal! Great place!“
