Welcome to downtown Harlan, y’all! We’ve been waiting for you.
Infused with Appalachian spirit, our downtown is filled with fun, festivities, and food.
The national platform that surrounds Harlan based on labor strikes and the history of coal could never prepare you for the experiences awaiting you in downtown Harlan. Downtown Harlan has undergone a revitalization effort for several years and currently offers unique boutiques such as Sassy Trash and Sonwood’s as well as local restaurants like The Portal and Moonbow each exhibiting eclectic flavors and Appalachian spirit. Our downtown is a grid pattern and making it an easy walk throughout our city where you can immerse yourself in our culture, our murals, our shops, and our cafes. Soon, you will be able to have a beverage at the Harlan Beer Company opening on the square near the Harlan County Courthouse.
