For the First Time Ever, Kentucky's Famous Miguel's Pizza Is Staying Open During The Winter

Every season is a wonderful one in Kentucky, but it is true that many of our favorite outdoor destinations and summertime spots tend to quiet down (or even close) throughout winter. It definitely makes sense, as a business must have the support to stay open, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t miss these places while they’re taking a break. That being said, we have great news for those of you who live near or still visit Red River Gorge during the colder months. Miguel’s Pizza in Kentucky, a local, legendary restaurant, will stay open throughout winter for the first time ever and our taste buds couldn’t be happier.

But its natural beauty doesn't go away in the cold of winter. In fact, it takes on a whole new life with broader views, icy waterfalls, and a quiet atmopshere you can't find many other places.

Typically, this favorite restaurant closes down each year from November until March. There aren't as many visitors to the area during these months, so this decision makes sense. However, for the first time ever, Miguel's will stay open throughout the winter season.
