Ona is a really great spot for a cocktail: reasonable prices, great seating, chill ambiance, and the cocktails are delicious! The service was friendly and efficient-we had a couple friends who didn't want an alcoholic beverage and on the spot they made a citrus mocktail that was refreshing and delicious! They also have daily specials in which they have a discounted cocktail (different ones for each day of the week) and they are $5! We got the Friday special which was a Dark N Stormy (a rum based Moscow mule sort of cocktail!) and it was great!

If I'm here it's usually a weeknight meeting with a friend for a chat and a drink or two. The outdoor seating is very cute but not the most comfortable. Very tiny wooden chairs on a wooden slat "porch" situation that the chairs sometimes fall into. But the plants outside and inside are gorgeous. It's a vibe-y joint. The interior has plenty of hidey holes and good places to tuck into for intimate or group affairs. The menu is more extensive than you'd think it'd be. As far as service, it really just depends on who's tending bar. Sometimes it's awesome and quick and super easy. Other times it takes much longer than it should because the bartender is holding a chat with a friend or just ignoring that you're there. I've had both experiences in the same week, even when it's slow, so *shrug*. Just a heads up to anyone who might flit a temper over that sort of thing. They're pretty doggone casual there.

This is a superb spot to grab cocktail drinks with a friend or for a date. I love how it is so cozy inside, and all the plants make it even more inviting to grab drinks here.I love coming here for pre-game with my friends. I love ordering their cocktail drinks, and they're so delicious. One of my favorite drinks is called Press Play.

Great experience on Sunday evening with a bartender named Victoria (pretty sure that was her name). She was so friendly and genuinely interested in explaining different drinks to us.

Ever since the first time I've been here, Ona has been my go to bar in Lex. Unlike most bars it has an indie vibe that makes it seem more inviting. The staff are really nice and if you get there earlier in the day, you can have some good conversation.The drinks run on the pricier side, but it's for a reason. Of course they serve cheap drinks like beer and basic cocktails, they even have daily deals, but their specials are why I come to drink here.I have found that Ona makes really good and unique specials. I had the Press Play which was a gin seltzer with rosemary and parsley. I loved it and would want it back on the menu. I've only had one special that I wasn't too keen on. It was a sake seltzer with MSG in it. I knew I was getting into strange territory picking that one, but I enjoyed the adventure nonetheless.Ona is one of the cooler bars I've been to, and I go there when I especially don't want to be in a large crowd of college students. Keep up the good work, Ona

Perfect speakeasy-dive joint if there ever was such a thing. Excellent cocktails and service, comfy space to spend the holidays. $5 cocktail-of-the-day is pretty clutch too.. the daiquiri was perfect.

Fantastically curated cocktail menu, but also cheap cans/shots. Ona's a pretty great spot.

Good cocktails and friendly staff! Enjoyed our visit!
Ona continues to be one of my favorite bars in Lexington! The bartenders are incredibly and make amazing cocktails. The ambiance is wonderful and I'm rarely there when there isn't a really interesting crowd. Definitely one of the standout bars in Lexington!

This was a great hole in the wall little bar with some amazing cocktails. I'd highly recommend trying this place out.

Cocktails are delicious and bartenders are very experienced and friendly. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is that the clientele that frequents are in their early 20s so we didn't really "fit in". Lol

Cool, dark, intimate spaces galore. Delicious, creative, intriguing cocktails galore. Top notch squishy stools.
