Lexington’s welcoming hospitality extends to its brewery, taprooms, bottle shops, taverns and bars. Weekly events, such as trivia, bingo and karaoke bring a little friendly competition and a lot of laughs. Some of these taprooms double as live music venues, hosting local and regional acts. Knowledgeable staff members happily provide tastings. Bottle shop shelves reflect North Carolina’s prominent craft beer community, as well as Lexington’s location in the Yadkin Valley wine region. Lexington now has its own brewery, Goose and The Monkey, located in the up-and-coming Depot District. While some locations serve food, others frequently host food trucks.
