Trailhead is downtown Lynchburg's home away from home, right off the trail.

We opened in 2024 with a simple goal: build a welcoming, outdoor-focused bar for all of Lynchburg to enjoy. Somewhere you can turn up as you are, sit outside, and stay a while.

The building dates back to the 1890s, when it was originally an Anheuser-Busch bottling plant. That history is part of what gives the space its character today.

We have a full bar with draft beer, liquor, cocktail specials, wine, and over 30 canned drinks. Our food menu is currently limited due to a huge kitchen remodel process, but we will soon be back and better than ever.

There's live music every weekend on the stage. Out back you'll find a covered deck, picnic tables, and a fire pit; inside there's plenty of seating when the weather turns.
