Lexington, KY - The soon-to-be renovated Victorian Square in downtown Lexington has its first new tenant. Saul Good Restaurant & Pub has announced plans to open a restaurant at 123 N. Broadway at the corner of Broadway and Short Street in October 2013.
“We are happy to be opening in downtown. Downtown Lexington is vibrant and we are thrilled to be part of the rebirth of Victorian Square,” said Rob Perez, owner of Saul Good Restaurant & Pub.
This will be the third location for the locally owned restaurant business. Saul Good also has eateries in the Fayette Mall complex and Hamburg Place.
“Saul Good is the first of an eclectic mix of retail and restaurants that will transform our project into a major destination for the State of Kentucky,” said Mark Fallon, Vice President of Real Estate for Jeffrey R. Anderson Real Estate of Cincinnati, co-owners of the project with The Webb Companies of Lexington. “Serving as a magnet for our guests not only from the region but also from far away, the Square is excited to be a piece of the bigger puzzle being put together to make downtown Lexington a world-class destination. You can expect a number of new to the Lexington market tenants being announced throughout the summer,” he said.
“Spring brings new life for Victorian Square, that's great," Mayor Jim Gray said in a statement. "We're hoping Saul Good will be the first of many announcements, as we continue to develop the Rupp District. Congratulations to a great local brand.”
The downtown Saul Good Restaurant & Pub location will be a 4,500 square foot restaurant with seating for 145 people, a private dining area and a full service bar. The restaurant will be open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.
