22 Best Pubs in Lexington

“amazing place Faye is an amazing bartender she made me and my buddy feel at home even from the first day i stepped in to check the place out and we felt like we were at home. this is the place to take your friends (that are the drinking age) to play dnd or any tabletop game. The drinks are amazing I loved the Kaijuice I had two and they are amazing.“

“I'm old. I get the Irish pubs confused so I try to give each equal business because I like them all. The Old Guys Pub Crawlers love this place. They serve beer. This is a great place to drink beer. Ed wears a kilt whenever we go here. I know, I know. But Ed loves wearing a kilt except in Tennessee, so just let it go. We love this place. Like all the bars in Lexington, it is on our rotation list.“

“Friendly, attentive staff. Music was prefect performed by “The guys”. Jim, Jim Bob and Dr Jim. Thank you for the Lexington experience!😀“

“My son and I had an impromptu late lunch today 7/7/2022. It’s been a long time since we’ve experienced service like this that was topped off with awesome food! The medium cooked burger with extra bacon was incredible, cooked to perfection, it was huge! The pulled pork sandwich topped with small onion rings was an unexpected tasty surprise. The French Fry’s were seasoned, served HOT and crisp just like the sandwich’s, I mean, where in Lexington do you get that?! The staff was exceptionally cordial and our food was presented before we had filled our fountain drinks. Out the door just stuffed full for $30, that’s value! My son and I had a quick debate on the way home, monthly or weekly stop 😂 Weekly for the win! Can’t wait to try breakfast!!“

“Food was great just a great place“

“Stumbled on Ethereal Brewing Public House during a quick trip to Lex to see a UK game, and I’m so glad we stopped in! Great drink selection, delicious southern German - American food that had me missing home, the bartenders and staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was just fantastic. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I did a call in/pick up order while working on Sat. I ordered for 3 folks. We all did the cheeseburgers which where wonderful. We ordered onion rings and fries. All the food was really good. I want to give a shout out to Allison that answered the phone and took my order when the place was very busy. Thank you Allison!! I will order again the next weekend I have to work. I look forward to trying other options on the menu.“

“Can’t wait to go back and try more drinks and more dishes! I had the Yuzu cocktail—delish, refreshing and a dish with tofu in a sauce and scallions and fried garlic and seaweed salad. The salty tofu and the sweet yuzu drink were perfect together. Then I tried a floral/dry sake and ended the night with a tofu cheese puff. Excellent end of the night bite. Service is great! Recommendations were lovely. Vibes are cozy and relaxed. I’ll be back!“

“Excellent customer service
Excellent venue / atmosphere
Excellent cocktails
Excellent Crab Cakes

Paid $68 for a steak, for that price I expect a prime cut of beef. What I received was was less than select, the meat was very tough, this was a ribeye and should have tender and flavorful. There was no marbling in the steak. The first bite was nothing but grizzle.

Had the apple crisp for desert, that should never have been served.

Have always heard nothing but great things about this restaurant for a long time, this was my first visit, so I dont know what happened.“

“Fiona at the bar took great care of us during an afternoon stop. Food and service were five star! Highly recommend.“

“great service. friendly staff“

“The little hole in the wall with the greatest regulars and bartenders you could imagine. Not sure there’s anywhere else in Lex that provides the same experience. Can’t recommend this spot more.“

“Tony Fisher is an excellent host.“

“The Break Room bar is a smallish place with outdoor seating in a balcony plus another area for a small band. Drink prices for beer and liquor are cheap. Service by the bartender was very good and friendly. The atmosphere is quaint and rustic. Good place and recommend you try it out.“

“Had my first racist experience here, not from the employees tho , the employees there are good people , had a dude who was bartending at the railbird festival he tried to come at me asking where I’m from proved to him I am a American citizen and walked away and made him rip his own passport bc I proved I was a citizen 😂“

“Fun Irish pub, great charm and company!“

“These folks at Banners are top tier! Played a little pop up gig there last night on my way through and was treated unbelievably well considering I was just some musician they’d never heard of. The servers are friendly and accommodating, and the locals who hang out here are a FUN bunch who sang a long to all the songs they knew, and even got down on some ORIGINAL music! I’d recommend artists to consider playing here, and I’d recommend those looking for somewhere to get a good bite to eat in a really fun atmosphere to check out Banners! Thanks guys! I’ll be back!“

“I love it here every time I go I will say one of the waitresses gives you an attitude a lot if you don't tip and the other night when I went out it wasn't my money so it wasn't like I could tip but aside from that I love it here“

“DJ en vivo, buena música y variedad de cervezas. Precios razonables.“

“Best burgers, drinks and atmosphere in Lexington!!“

“Still a fun place to go but I feel like they're kind of running on fumes at the moment. Every time I've gone in, the men's room has gotten a little scarier and the pile of broken chairs in the corner is growing. It just seems like they're existing but not taking steps to improve.. That said, the bar staff is super friendly and they still bring in fun entertainment. I hope they start taking pride in the establishment again and clean up the rough edges.“

“I had a group event and the space was very nice. Bartenders were very knowledgeable and we're able to make everything they had the supplies for. They did have signature drinks as well that were delicious! We had to reserve our space ahead of time of course but generally one wouldn't need to to get some drinks. 3 floors, main level, 2nd floor (where our event was), and rooftop! They are careful about their headcount inside though.“
