ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Within the historic walls of Boone Tavern Hotel, the reimagined restaurant and bar welcomes guests into a space where legacy and modern hospitality meet with intention. ​

Original herringbone wood floors anchor the restaurant in its storied past, while bespoke furnishings, handmade by Berea College Student Craft, bring fresh energy and a deeply personal touch. Every detail is designed to invite connection from the welcoming public lounge to the new full-service bar that hums with life from afternoon to evening. A private dining room offers a more intimate stage for celebrations, allowing groups to gather in comfort and style. ​

​

The transformation blends visual appeal with a celebration of place, featuring menus of farm-to-table dishes from Berea College Farm and interiors that reflect the college’s legacy of craftsmanship. Together, these elements create a dining experience that elevates local culture, enriches community ties, and leaves every guest with a lasting sense of belonging.​
