Welcome

THE HUB FOR NEW IDEAS, SUPERIOR FLAVORS & SHAREABILITY

Starting from Scratch

CREATED TO SERVE YOU


It all started with a simple idea – the idea that our Lexington community deserved a collaborative space for exchanging; exchanging innovative ideas and concepts, exchanging business connections, and especially, exchanging laughs and stories over local food and drinks – thus The Cornerstone Exchange was born! This multipurpose space is a front door for the university and will house several Kentucky-based restaurants, as well as the UK Innovation Space, Esport facilities and Cornerstone Garage.



We're proud to serve UK campus and the greater Lexington community!
