It’s all starting to take shape out here.

From the newest Barleycorn’s Brewhouse to The Royal Kentuckian, you can finally see how everything is coming together as one space.

There’s still work ahead, but seeing it from this view makes it easy to picture what it will become.

We’re looking forward to sharing more as it continues to come to life.

Saturday night. Prime steak. The newest spot in town.

The Royal Kentuckian is almost ready for you, and honestly, we can't wait.

These entry pavers just went in, and yeah, it's a small detail, but it's the kind of thing that tells you something. The experience starts before you ever open the door.

We can't wait to welcome you. Until then, follow along for updates!

Here’s another sneak peek inside The Royal Kentuckian. With the granite now installed and the lighting bringing the bar to life, the space is beginning to come to life.

Here’s another look from the property, this time inside the Barleycorn’s Brewhouse next door, where a new mural is coming to life. Designed like a vintage postcard, it captures the full vision of The Downs of Nicholson and everything taking shape around it.

The response to The Royal Kentuckian gift certificates has been incredible, and we’re truly grateful. Because so many guests asked if there was still time to be part of the early preview, we’ve decided to keep the opportunity open just a little longer.

Guests who purchase a $100 gift certificate will be invited to a private preview tour ahead of opening day. The tour will include a first look inside the Royal Kentuckian, along with a walk through the upcoming Barleycorn’s Brewhouse and brewery next door, before we welcome the public.

Gift certificates will be redeemable once we open later this year.
They are available for a limited time through March 22, the final opportunity before this preview offering closes. It could also make a thoughtful Easter gift for someone who would enjoy an early look inside.

Thank you for following along as this project comes to life. We can’t wait to welcome you in.

Want to be among the first guests inside The Royal Kentuckian before opening day?

Here’s a sneak peek as everything begins to come together. Can you guess what this massive window will look out to? The view is going to be something special.

After our first release, we heard from so many guests asking for another opportunity to be part of the VIP preview, so we are bringing back a limited offering of gift certificates.

Guests who purchase a $100 gift certificate will receive an invitation to a private VIP preview tour this spring, offering an early look inside before we welcome the public.

Gift certificates will be redeemable once we open later this year. Available for a limited time.

We truly appreciate the excitement and cannot wait to welcome you.

A beautiful snowy morning and another major milestone ❄️

The The Royal Kentuckian signage is going up today at The Downs of Nicholson. Seeing the name on the building makes it all feel very real.

We cannot wait to share what lies ahead. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks in the coming weeks.
