Rent the Iconic Southern Inn
Where history meets hospitality.
Don’t settle for ordinary. Host your next event at the Southern Inn, a Lexington landmark that’s welcomed guests for generations. The oldest restaurant in town, our space offers an inviting blend of history and hospitality — perfect for gatherings of up to 100 guests.
From the pressed tin ceilings to the handcrafted cherry bar top and the glow of Lexington’s only marquee neon sign, every inch of the Southern Inn tells a story. It’s the kind of place where conversations linger and memories settle in for a while.
Make it yours.
With three charming spaces — cozy booths, a lively bar, and a private upstairs banquet room — you can shape your event to match your mood.
Add soft light with dimmable chandeliers, set the tone with a Bluetooth sound system, or keep things intimate with candlelit tables. Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration, business gathering, or a relaxed evening among friends, we’ll help you design a setting that feels just right.
Raise a glass!
Our handcrafted cherry bar and locally made hickory tables make the perfect backdrop for happy hours, cocktail receptions, and graduation gatherings.
Pair that with our Southern hospitality and a few of your favorite people, and you’ve got an evening worth toasting to.
A place to celebrate.
For decades, the Southern Inn has been a place where people come together — to celebrate, to connect, to simply enjoy being in good company. Now, those same walls that have held laughter and stories can hold yours.
We can’t wait to welcome you in and help bring your event to life.
