Thanks for the memories, Lynchburg.

After 18 incredible years, Shoemakers American Grille has officially served its final dinner.

What a journey it has been. From first dates and anniversary dinners to birthdays, family gatherings, business dinners, celebrations and nights out with friends, we are honored to have been part of so many special moments.

To our loyal guests, our dedicated team members, and the Lynchburg community that supported us through the years — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The Shoemakers and Event Center spaces will become 22 new guest rooms, allowing us to welcome even more visitors to experience downtown Lynchburg and our historic hotel.
