Backstory: Considered among the most haunted places in America, this Victorian mansion turned inn and restaurant has a tragic, eerie past.
The story goes that three members of the wealthy Lemp family — whose patriarch, Johann Adam Lemp, founded the Lemp Brewery in 1840 — died by suicide, with two of the deaths taking place in the mansion. The first was the suicide of Lemp’s son, William Lemp Sr., who took his life while mourning his own son, who died of heart failure.
In the 1970s, the home was converted to an inn and restaurant but soon became more popular for its supernatural sightings and troubling past. These days, visitors can take one of the many haunted history tours of the inn, grab a bite at the eatery next door, or spend a night in one of the four suites on-site.
What customers say: “After a hellish day at work, I knew exactly where I needed to be: the Lemp Mansion for a much-needed cocktail. My go-to? The Lavender Lady, of course…The drinks at Lemp Mansion are always on point, and the atmosphere? Given the mansion’s haunted past, it’s like sipping on history with a dash of mystery. The charm and cocktails never fail to lift my spirits,” wrote Yelp user Sierra T.
