History of CocktailsBar & Grill

Brian Curneal had a dream and in August of 2003, that dream became a reality when he opened Cocktails Bar & Grill in Todds Center in Lexington KY. He and Kristy established what has become known in the Hamburg area as the go-to place for neighborhood residents and the service industry employees. Cocktails can boast that we have customers that have been a part of Cocktails since opening.

Brian was from Madisonville, KY and attended the University of Kentucky. He retained ownership of Cocktails until his death in 2011.

Doug Simon, a local artist, put his mark on Cocktails by painting murals on the walls. Although no longer with us, his murals remain.

In August 2011, Sam Holmes, a former classmate of Brian’s purchased Cocktails Bar & Grill. He modernized the facility, added numerous flatscreen TV’s and in general upgraded the existing facility while keeping the same ambience. Sam’s friendly and outgoing personality has made him a favorite with the staff and customers at Cocktails.
