Greyline Station is Lexington’s premiere public marketplace — where the hippest locals go to eat, drink, shop + socialize.
This is the only place in Lexington where you can grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails under one roof + we’re breaking down the restaurant list based on how you want to spend your day at Greyline Station.
Breakfast 🍩 | Check out Laura Lou Patisserie if you’re craving the carbs, or grab a smoothie from B’Juiced if you’re looking for a lighter, low-calorie start to your day.
Lunch 🥪 | Porterhouse BBQ is serving up some of the city’s best bbq, while The Social Vegan is aiming to be the best vegan restaurant in Lexington.
Dinner + Drinks 🍸 | You can never go wrong with pizza for dinner — especially if your pie comes from Rise Up Pizza. Head over to Old North Bar after dinner to grab a pint + hear some live music. Or round off a date night with a glass of wine at The Breeze Wine Bar.
You could really spend your whole weekend at Greyline Station — grab happy hour drinks on Friday, a post-workout lunch on Saturday + shop around with a coffee on Sunday.
There are also tons of boutiques that offer unique gift ideas + and you can even pop in for a mid-day haircut from one of the barber vendors.
This is urban exploration at its finest. 🏙️
