Set The Bar Kentucky

Set the Bar Kentucky was founded in 2019 and is owned and operated by Cheryl Knapp, Alvaro Fernandez, Amanda Fernandez, Chelsea Hollingsworth, and Jonathan Hollingsworth. With backgrounds ranging from restaurant management to healthcare, we were looking for a way to serve Lexington and surrounding communities with an unforgettable experience. Founder, Cheryl Knapp, loved that this venture created an outlet for her love of event planning and design as well as used our combined strengths in hospitality, and affection for Kentucky.

Inspired by our surroundings in horse country, we thought it would be appropriate to offer a unique mobile bar experience beginning, with a converted two-horse trailer, aptly named “The Thirsty Mule.”
