Dine In A Horse-Drawn Fire Station From 1885 At The Engine House In Winchester, Kentucky
Here in Kentucky, our love for horses knows no bounds. Whether we are enjoying a meal inside a converted stable or camping at an iconic equestrian park, we live, eat, sleep, and breathe horses in the Bluegrass. So the opportunity to dine inside a horse-drawn fire station from 1885 is obviously something we’d jump (or gallop) at the chance to do. And that’s exactly the experience that awaits when you visit The Engine House in Winchester, Kentucky.
Kentucky is a state that loves its history and horses. So a place that combines both is a rare unicorn worth seeking out!
Housed in an original horse-drawn fire station hailing from 1885, this delightful restaurant dishes up incredible pizzas, Italian-inspired fare, craft cocktails, and stellar brews to the good people of Winchester, Kentucky.
Remnants from the bar's former life can be felt throughout the building, as with these worn wooden beams and original wood-burning stove. These are charming features that make The Engine House such a special place to dine.
The variety of pizzas here is incredible, from classic pepperoni and cheese to the Down and Out, which comes loaded with chicken, chorizo, tomato, white onion, and jalapeños for a spicy combination that might merit a call from the fire department!
Dining should be a fun and memorable experience. Add in a side of horse history (and beer cheese!), and you have a recipe for a perfect night out in Kentucky!
