visited your place on my way north. friendly people and a great atmosphere. live music at 7 was a treat.
Stayed at the hotel and wandered down to get late night food. Food was great, atmosphere was great, bartender was great. Will return when back in town!
What a pleasant surprise to find this place right off the highway; I liked the food and the vibe (leather booths and copper accents). We enjoyed the Trifecta appetizer combo, sliders, and the burger. Jonathan took good care of us. Very reasonable prices too. We’ll be back!

Barrel 53 offers an exceptional dining experience with attentive, knowledgeable staff ensuring a memorable visit. The food is bursting with flavor and provides great value, catering to both budget-minded and indulgent diners. Notable dishes include the French dip, seasoned fries, and burgers, which have received praise for being exceptional, especially during events like Lexington Burger Week. The menu also features the pimento cheese sandwich and prime rib sandwich. Recent reviews praise the pork chop special and pasta with chicken and steak, while one diner noted that the BLT had cold bacon. The overall quality remains high, with the salad being particularly praised. Appetizers such as Chicken and beef nachos, and The Trifecta (potato skins with sour cream, fried cheese with marinara, and pretzel bites with warm beer cheese) are highly recommended. Desserts, including a cinnamon roll covered in warm apples with ice cream and a brownie dessert with ice cream, are must-tries. The unique and fun atmosphere, live music, and soon-to-open outdoor patio make it a great place to hang out with friends. Although parking is limited near the entrance, the service is exceptional, and the restaurant has left a positive impression on visitors.
