Still Dreaming About the Brussels Sprouts: A Must-Try Dinner in Augusta, KY
By a Travel Expert Who Travels to Eat (and Stay in Style)

Sometimes the best getaways aren’t planned around birthdays, anniversaries, or big milestones—they’re built on nothing more than the simple desire to escape, slow down, and treat yourself. That’s exactly what led us to Augusta, Kentucky one quiet weekend. No grand occasion, just a little time away. And I’m so glad we went—because that’s how we discovered The Beehive Augusta Tavern.

This charming riverfront restaurant delivered one of the most memorable dinners we’ve had in ages. From the warm, stylish ambiance to the exceptional service, it felt like we’d stumbled upon something truly special. But what really blew us away?

The Brussels sprouts.

Yes–those Brussels sprouts. Perfectly crispy, a little sweet, a little savory, and totally unforgettable. We’re still talking about them. Still dreaming about them. Still wondering how soon we can get back for another order. And while the rest of the meal was equally impressive (the craft cocktails, the expertly cooked entrees, the desserts…), it’s those sprouts that sealed the deal.

You can take a peek at their menu and plan your own visit at The Beehive Augusta Tavern. After our incredible dinner, we strolled through Augusta’s quiet, historic streets and made our way back to The Benchmark Inn—our home for the weekend. Tucked into the heart of town, The Benchmark Inn was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and let the night linger just a little longer.

Here’s my advice: Don’t wait for a reason. Plan your own weekend escape to Augusta. Book your table at The Beehive. Order the Brussels sprouts. Stay at The Benchmark Inn. You don’t need a special occasion—this experience will become the occasion.

​Trust me—you’ll be dreaming about it, too.
