Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux to open Aug. 31 in Lexington, replacing Twisted Kilt at South Broadway

The restaurant chain announced a grand opening date for its new Lexington location at 1030 South Broadway, in the former Twisted Kilt space.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux has announced that its new Lexington restaurant will open on August 31, according to a report from WKYT. The location will operate at 1030 South Broadway, in a space formerly occupied by Twisted Kilt, marking another change on a busy corridor in the city’s southeast retail area.

WKYT reported that the new venue will be known as Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux and will host its grand opening on the Aug. 31 date. The announcement indicates the company’s timeline for getting the former restaurant space ready for a new operator, and it sets a clear start date for the public to visit the new business.

The restaurant’s move into the former Twisted Kilt site reflects an ongoing cycle of tenant turnover at established commercial addresses in Lexington. While details on the length of the prior closure or the extent of renovations were not included in the WKYT report, the grand opening announcement suggests that the operator expects to complete buildout and staffing steps ahead of late August.

The opening is also likely to affect nearby residents and businesses through normal pre-opening and launch activity, including staffing, increased delivery traffic, and event-driven foot traffic associated with a grand opening. For customers, the date provides a concrete time horizon for when Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux will begin regular operations at the address.

As with any new restaurant opening, customers and the public will be looking for information closer to the start date, including hours of operation, parking and access considerations at 1030 South Broadway, and any special promotions or events tied to the opening. Those details were not included in the WKYT report, which focused on the announced date and the location change.

No additional filings, permits, or approvals were cited in the WKYT report, and this story does not add unverified information about licensing, inspections, or other regulatory steps. The reported facts establish the announced opening timeline and the specific Lexington address where the restaurant will open.

WKYT’s report is the only item in the provided record. If Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux releases additional information or if local records show permitting activity for the site, those developments would be the next relevant updates for the public and for customers planning their visits around the Aug. 31 opening.

Why It Matters

  • A confirmed opening date gives residents and customers a specific timeline for when the new tenant will begin serving the public at 1030 South Broadway.
  • Replacing an existing restaurant space can shift traffic patterns, parking demand, and delivery activity around the corridor.
  • Tenant turnover can change the local competitive landscape for dining, including impacts on other nearby restaurants and retailers.
  • Local customers may need updated information on hours and access arrangements as the new operator prepares for the late-August opening.
