Epping's on Eastside Small plates & locally-sourced menus by Executive Chef Cole Arimes & Chef de Cuisine Nick Naylor. Epping.
(616)

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. Today, we are proud to honor that history and be part of the energy of downtown Lexington’s Warehouse Block.

LEXINGTON BOURBON LOVERS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.

We're thrilled to be one of the ONLY establishments to now be able to pour you a Jacob Spears Single Barrel Bourbon — an extraordinary new 10-year, cask-strength straight bourbon by some of the industry’s greatest minds: Jim Rutledge (Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer and legendary former Four Roses Master Distiller) and Ashley Barnes (Master Blender).

This new line was named in honor of Jacob Spears, the Kentucky pioneer long credited as one of the first distillers to put the word "bourbon" on a wh***ey barrel.

And because a bourbon this special deserves something equally memorable, our bar team (shoutout Tory Stephenson!) have created an exclusive cocktail:

JAKE'S BANANA BREAD OLD FASHIONED

Jacob Spears Bourbon • Giffard Banana • Angostura • Walnut & Cocoa Bitters, topped with a dehydrated Banana Spear!

Whether you prefer your bourbon neat or with a creative twist, this is one you'll want to experience.

The bourbon is rare. The opportunity to try it is even rarer. We’ll see y’all at the bar!

How would YOU build your three courses?

We’ve been blown away by the love for Chef Nick’s new Curated Courses menu! Three courses, $55, and a guaranteed great night.

So what’s it going to be? Bisque or green goddess? Ribeye or Seabass? Crème brûlée or chocolate torte?

A few of our favorite things: gin, Earl Grey, a little sparkle… and Julie Andrews.

Meet “The Dame, Julie” — an Earl Grey-infused egg white gin fizz dreamed up by our very own Tory Stephenson.

A little elegant, a little whimsical. And finished with some edible glitter, because we all deserve a little magic by Friday!

Cheers to you!
