Freeway Music NE's NEW location!

In a build-out project that has been in the works for over a year, the music school and restaurant are creating a complex that emphasizes great food, entertainment, education, and community involvement. Freeway Music will occupy a larger portion of the space, with 14 custom built rooms for private music lessons and rock band classes, including a brand new rehearsal space that includes a recording studio element. Every detail of Freeway Music’s lesson facility, from high-end sound dampening insulation, to layout, floors, and fixtures have been chosen with the student’s experience in mind. With students of all ages, all instruments, and music preferences, Freeway takes their motto “More Than A Music School” seriously. The lesson facility opens onto a spacious deck perfect for outdoor seating and small student performances.

Doko Station Pub and Eatery

Doko Station Pub & Eatery, a dream of Lexington’s Old Mill Brewpub owners John & Kelly Clinger, will feature an eclectic food menu with fresh made appetizers, wraps, paninis, pizzas, soups & salads. For beverages, Doko Station is keeping it close to home, with locally roasted & freshly ground coffee, local craft beer on draft, other favorites by the can, as well as regional & imported wines. The relaxed atmosphere of this retro train station pub will include occasional acoustic performances by local musicians and outdoor dining options. Doko Station is environmentally friendly, using only recycled and compostable containers/cups, etc. Whatever your occasion: grabbing lunch with a friend or coworker, eating dinner with the family, or even waiting for your child to finish music lessons, come on by! 11 AM - 9 PM; Tuesday-Sunday.
