Country Boy Brewing to open Lexington taproom and restaurant at The Commons

The Georgetown brewery says its new Lexington location will feature seating for about 150 customers, 24 beer taps, and a full barbecue menu at the Leestown Road development.

Country Boy Brewing announced Monday that it will open a new taproom and restaurant in Lexington at The Commons. The company’s plan is to expand beyond its existing Georgetown location by placing a new dining and beer-focused business in the Leestown Road development, where other hospitality and entertainment venues are planned or already operating.

WKYT reported that the Lexington location will include seating for about 150 people. The brewery also said the taproom will have 24 beer taps, alongside what it described as a full barbecue menu, tying the new restaurant format to Country Boy’s existing brand identity.

In a statement included in the WKYT report, Daniel “DH” Harrison, founder and brand manager for Country Boy Brewing, said the new venue is intended to bring the same “vibe and excitement” from the company’s Georgetown taproom to the center of Lexington. Harrison also said the brewery is excited to be part of the district at The Commons, which Country Boy described as being curated by the development’s leaders.

The Commons’ developers also characterized the partnership as a fit for the surrounding entertainment district. Daren Turner, identified as a founder of The Commons in the report, said Country Boy is the kind of partner the development set out to bring to The Commons, which Turner described as building a district where local food and drink will sit alongside live music and entertainment.

According to the WKYT report, The Commons is located on Leestown Road and Country Boy’s new taproom and restaurant will be part of the broader project that includes RD1 and OBC in nearby spaces. The announcement did not provide a specific opening date, but it described the project as a new addition to the development’s tenant mix.

The announcement marks another step in Country Boy Brewing’s continued growth in the Lexington area after previous local expansion moves described in earlier regional coverage. Country Boy’s latest move targets consumers looking for nearby dining and a dedicated tap selection, while The Commons seeks additional anchor tenants to strengthen foot traffic within the district.

Why It Matters

  • The Commons announcement adds a new dining and beverage option to a defined Lexington entertainment and restaurant district, with the brewery positioning the venue as a nearby gathering place.
  • The planned 24-tap menu and barbecue restaurant format suggest a broader customer draw than a tap-only setting, with seating capacity targeted at roughly 150 people.
  • The lack of an opening date means residents and nearby businesses will need to watch for further permits, construction updates, and licensing timelines before expecting service.
  • As a tenant of a larger development, the brewery’s opening may affect local traffic patterns on Leestown Road, particularly during peak evening and weekend hours.
  • The project is another example of local business investment in Lexington-area commercial redevelopments, with the development presenting the partnership as aligned with its entertainment-focused tenant mix.
