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.

They Break Room, what can I say about the break room that it's name itself doesn't already rightfully sum up. It's a great place so just sit down and relax. Take a load off and have a drink or two or three or some shots and another drink and just enjoy a round with the boys. The decor is interesting and got a few laughs out of me. The Bartender was nice and was there if we needed anything. The cat tho asleep, was entertaining just snoozing away in his taco truck bed. We also got a little pregame pinball action. They had one in the corner it was fun and enough to get back in my pinball wizard groove. So take 5 or an hour and go check out this nice little hole in the wall. Wade Wilson approved ?
p.s. oh I did not try any food, not quite sure if they offer food. So I gave it 3 just to be fair. Just saw the dish recommend section. I guess they do have food. Huh

Always 5 stars! Great little place to hang out. They have several little areas, corn hole and firepit. It's right beside the creek, so atmosphere is amazing!

The place is beautiful and located in a great location for pregaming a Burl show.Great fire pit!We encountered a “regular” who made a point to passive aggressively bully me for asking for a homemade whiskey sour….saying”yeah these people coming in here asking for craft cocktails is ruining the atmosphere “Dude, there’s 3 people in the bar… you best start serving craft cocktails and being nice to people if you plan to stay open….I made a comment about the Cat that was on the bar…something like…awww look at the cat…so the bartender walks straight over and hangs a bar towel up so you can’t see the cat…. Again- passive aggressiveJust be niceSell drinks worth drinkingSell foodStay open

This is an awesome place to just hang out and have a few drinks. I highly recommend going to the Break Room if you are in Lexington's Distillery District.

After multiple occasions of being at the break room, and to be able to develop a true understanding of this establishment, and not to be based off of first impressions. This place honestly just does not fit the vibe. I feel like they’re so “free spirited” to the point where they create their own rules, but they’re ridiculous. For example; I visually watched them allow an unleashed dog to roam around inside the bar/establishment, but not allow a child who is holding the hand of their parents and cannot go elsewhere. Where does this make sense? The math is not mathing. There are other ridiculous occasions I have witnessed at this establishment, but this one just truly stood out to me. The other establishments at the distillery district allow kids, dogs and all people to come as they are and be as they are. However, the break room does not. Which makes sense as to why this establishment is the least busiest out of the other establishments in this location. I’m rating this establishment 2 stars ONLY because they make good drinks, but you best meet their qualifications for friendly service. Not at all a welcoming establishment, but definitely has good drinks.

I'll say this: I find all the other negative reviews 100% believable.
