Located in the heart of downtown Lexington at the 5/3 Pavilion, our bar Centro is THE place to enjoy all the horse capital has to offer. Overlooking Courthouse Plaza at 5/3 Pavilion, we're literally steps from a host of restaurants, bars, hotels, shops, Rupp Arena and City Center. You'll find yourself in the middle of all the action, yet comfortably enjoying delicious cocktails, local beer and bourbon with friendly locals — whenever you choose to hang out with us.

Our completely renovated space inside the historic limestone building opened in September of 2015 showcasing the original brickwork and tile work laid in 1898. We are thrilled to have been able to restore and protect the gorgeous features of this historical gem — and provide our community and our city's tourists a cool bar to experience great drinks over good conversation.

No matter what your tastes in spirits are, chances are, we've got your back! We proudly offer a well rounded and extensive bourbon collection with nearly 100 bourbons to choose from, no-fuss craft cocktails and a nice little wine list to boot. Lexington is known for its great beer breweries, and we serve plenty of our local craft beers too!

Do you like enjoying your liquor on a patio? We do too! That's why we have a great patio space steps from our entrance and overlooking downtown Lexington. Lexington natives know if you're going to the Saturday Farmers Market, Thursday Night Live, after Keeneland celebrations, pre-post Rupp Arena event gathering or literally any downtown festival or event, Centro is simply THE place to be! Since the entire front of our bar opens up to the outdoors, our patrons can be a part of the scene while enjoying the comforts of the indoors, cool music and stellar hospitality. Our bartenders are known for being friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Our patrons are known for being fun, easy-going and just really awesome to be around.

One thing you'll find at CENTRO? There's literally something for everyone — no matter your generation or imbibing need. Stop by and hang out with us today! We're waiting on you.
