Lost Palm is a photographer's dream venue! I recently captured a beautiful Sikh reception here, and let me tell you - the atmosphere is absolutely unmatched. The rooftop setting creates this incredible tropical oasis vibe right in the heart of downtown Lexington. The open-air patio is perfect for getting those candid guest shots during golden hour, with the city skyline creating an absolutely stunning backdrop. When the sun sets and the city lights start twinkling, it creates this magical atmosphere that makes every photo look like it belongs in a magazine. The elevator ride up builds anticipation, and then boom - you're transported to this stylish urban paradise! The way they've designed the space with its tropical theme while maintaining those killer city views is genius. Every corner offers another perfect photo op, whether it's guests mingling at tables or enjoying the party vibes.

The vibe of this venue is warm, tropical, comfortable & stylish! Our server was excellent, and tapas was delicious. Cocktails were exceptional! The view of the city is unmatched for a Lexington rooftop bar. The hotel is a dream - rich in color & traditional Kentucky themes. Can't wait to return!

This rooftop bar was a great find down in the distillery district. It is located on the top floor of the Manchester Hotel and when you step off the elevator you are instantly transported into a very cool vibe. The signature cocktails are excellent and the food is amazing. The menu includes a wide selection of small plates. The lamb tostada and beef empanadas were very good. Loved the oysters on the half shell and the tuna ceviche. Our waitress, Paola, did an amazing job taking care of us and making sure we had a good time. I highly recommend trying this place out.

I celebrated my birthday at the rooftop restaurant at The Manchester, and it was such a memorable experience. My boyfriend made the reservation as a surprise, and everything from start to finish was perfect. Our server, Garrett K., was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly taken care of. He went out of his way to make the night special, even surprising us with a birthday treat. The rooftop view was breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance was elegant yet comfortable. The food and drinks were outstanding—beautifully presented and delicious. This spot is a hidden gem and perfect for special occasions. I’m so glad he chose it for my birthday, and we’ll definitely be back soon! Special thanks to Garrett K, but all the stuff ; including the host, were super adorable and multiple of them even offered to take pictures of us in front of the subset, without even having to ask. Which i appreciated more than they know. Even the valet boys were a pleasure, on top of extremely responsibly fair prices. I would recommended tipping them as well.

Finally went back for food after a year. Tyler waited on us and did an amazing job. He’s a wonderful server, very attentive, friendly welcoming, and had great suggestions! Incredible cocktails all very unique and delicious. Appetizers are delicious and the queso with chorizo is out of this world. The margarita tree was good, but for 70 was not worth the price. Regardless, the seating options atmosphere, and general food and drink offerings are impeccable. We will be back!

I think our favorite part of this bar is the atmosphere. It was really cool to sit at a couch or comfy chair with a tropical drink. The decor was great and even though it had been raining and we couldn't sit out on the patio we were able to go look at the views which were very nice! I was very happy with my drink and was totally fine with the price. All the food that came to our group were small plates but everyone seemed to be happy with everything! We will be going back.

This place was so cool! Our waitress Camille was SO attentive and sweet! Very cool, chill atmosphere and vibe. Small plates but we were still full when finished. Their original cocktails are delicious too! Can't wait to come back in the summer when the rooftop patio is open!

Amazing ambience, atmosphere and staff 10/10, nice soundtrack as well. The food however, mediocre at best C- 4/10. Everything we ordered lacked SEASONING, including salt, very bland and "missing something". We were also gipped on a couple sauces that went with the dishes. As far as a cocktail lounge, it's a really nice spot. Very friendly, fun setting with great staff... But as far as lunch or dinner, I'd just stick to the cocktails. Valet parking or pay to park(free until 5pm). Not the Most wheel chair accessible, but doable. Does require using an elevator. ALL the staff (we encountered)from the Manchester and Lost Palm were really friendly, hospitable and helpful. I would not consider this establishment (the lost palm) "kids friendly". There are shade umbrellas as well.
