Help them sell out of everything on the shelf. Love this place. Wishing the owners the very best.

Due to sudden staffing issues and a complete loss of mojo, we will only be open this Saturday, May 10th, from 5pm until close for music and drinks only (no food service) with Ben Lacy, after which, we will CLOSE the DOORS for the foreseeable future. We want to thank our many loyal patrons and fellow downtown business owners, the many talented musicians who have played with us, our long-term and much-loved staff members, our friends, families, and many others who have been with us along the way.
If things change over time and we get ourselves together, we will post it here, but for now, come see us one last time as we try not to put a tear in your beer over excellent music with Ben Lacy, Saturday, May 10th from 6-9pm. ❤️

Family owned event company serving Kentucky businesses and private event planners for 40 years.

Based in Wi******er, KY, Thompson Catering began as Thompson’s IGA Food Mart, serving grocery shoppers throughout the state nearly 70 years ago. The last grocery store was sold in 2000 with primary focus shifting towards catering, event planning and party equipment rental.

Our current line-up of catering and event professionals have a combined work experience of over 150 years in the hospitality business. We are a turn-key operation designed to allow you, the customer, to enjoy your party and mingle with your guests instead of worrying about a multitude of vendors.

The services we provide are ideal for large crowds. Our reach includes Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati and all of eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina and beyond. We trust you’ll find our pricing competitive, our food presentation and quality first class, our equipment reliable, and our customer service second to none.
