Downtown Lexington’s growing dining and entertainment scene is anchored by the wildly popular Carson’s restaurant, Gus Fried Chicken, and East End Taproom. All three of these great restaurants are in developments created by Phil Holoubek and his team. To complete these projects, Holoubek was able to pull together funding from a variety of sources including private investors, traditional bank equity, and public financing including the creation of a TIF district. The result is increased business investment, enhanced dining options, and new tax revenues for Lexington.
