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.“

“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“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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. ❤“

“great service. friendly staff“

“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 😂“

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

“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.“
