“A rooftop nod to 1960’s sultry South Florida, where salt-licked palms bear witness to Southern Comfort and debaucherous cabana boys.”

 

LOST PALM

Lost Palm is a rooftop bar housed within the Manchester Hotel. Drawing inspiration from the illustrious golden age of South Florida racing, this oasis effortlessly weaves together Lexington's esteemed horse racing heritage with the lush allure of the tropical paradise that is Florida.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Hialeah Park and Gulfstream Park emerged as the prominent racetracks in the greater Miami area. These iconic venues became popular entertainment destinations, captivating both locals and tourists alike. Our logo draws inspiration from this vibrant era, and our identity incorporates a collection of historic Miami imagery and custom illustrations.
