New restaurant opens inside of Kentucky Grand Hotel and Spa in Bowling Green

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Bowling Green’s newest restaurant has opened its doors inside a well known downtown hotel.

The Bluegrass Restaurant is on the first floor of the Kentucky Grand Hotel and Spa on College Street. It’s located across the lobby from The Derby Piano and Dessert Bar.

The restaurant, which took about six months to build, officially opens to the public Tuesday night.

The menu features southern cuisine, including fried chicken, pork chops and prime rib.

Diners will sit at tables next to walls covered with Kentucky memorabilia, pictures and paintings.

“Looking at the final product, I couldn’t be more excited about it,” said Zack Strachan, the general manager of the Kentucky Grand Hotel and Spa. “It bounces off The Derby so well. It’s so much more fun. It’s a laid back atmosphere that we wanted everyone to enjoy in the Bowling Green area.”

The restaurant is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 pm.
