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've become kind of a recent regular there I guess. The main reason I started going was the low prices. It's never crazy in a bad way in there or drama filled. It's a great place to just sit and have some drinks! They even remember me and my drink order and I haven't been there too often just yet. Great place! Would recommend.“

“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“

“I will always recommend The Break Room to anyone! It’s a small dive bar with a back porch and the standard drinks you’d expect at a bar, but what sets it apart is the community there!

I was doing a contract in Lexington and I was looking for my little neighborhood bar to stop in to read or hang out in while I was there, and this quickly became that for me. The people are so kind and I loved getting to chat with all the regulars and the bartenders. It is such a welcoming spot and I even wrote a “thank you” letter to them when I moved away.

It is cozy, hosts events, and even has the sweetest cat, Flynn. The bartenders are great at reading people too. They were so kind and remembered me, and they would be able to towel whether I wanted to talk or whether I just wanted to read. It always meant so much to me, and I hope I find a time to stop back there soon. ❤“

“One of the most authentic Japanese restaurant experiences you can have in KY. Simple and delicious dishes executed with precision, a killer sake menu with nerdy choices, and friendly owners serving through the night. Truly a gem and a treat to have in Lexington.“

“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.“

“Excellent meal at Blue Heron Steakhouse. It's rare to eat a crabcake outside of the East Coast that lives up to Maryland standards, but this one was outstanding. Love the broccoli with garlic and red pepper, and there was a great wine selection that was perfect without being obnoxiously long. Will be back!“

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

“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!“

“Fun Irish pub, great charm and company!“

“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!“

“Tony Fisher is an excellent host.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 😂“

“great service. friendly staff“

“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.“

“We hosted our Beauty Boost Fall Glam + Glow event at Bell’s Cocktail House last night and had such a great experience! The atmosphere is amazing, the space has so much character, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating from start to finish.

Hosting an event comes with a lot of moving pieces, and their team made everything so easy for us. One thing that really stood out was the security team, they went above and beyond helping us carry all of our event supplies up and down the stairs during setup and at the end of the night. It was completely unexpected and so appreciated!

Everyone we interacted with was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely wanted to make sure our event went smoothly. Our attendees loved the atmosphere, and it was such a fun setting for Fall Glam + Glow.

So grateful to the entire Belle’s team for taking such great care of us. I would absolutely recommend them for a night out or for hosting an event!“

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