Tin Roof       
303 South Limestone  
Lexington, KY. 40508

It all started in Atlanta back in 1996.  We were originally located in Buckhead where the locals always kept the place packed and musicians always kept the place rocking with live music.  With great music being such a driving force for our success, it made perfect sense to move the concept to Music City, USA.  In February of 2002, we opened the Tin Roof on Demonbreun Street at the base of Nashville’s famous music row.  The Roof (as it’s known to regulars) has been a hit ever since.  Our customers love our laid-back feel and live entertainment—not to mention our made from scratch food served up by a friendly and eclectic staff. Since then, we’ve opened additional locations including Cool Springs, TN in 2006, Lexington, KY and Knoxville, TN in 2009.  We have our eyes on a few other great new locations as well.  No matter which Tin Roof you visit, you’re sure to become a regular.
