26 Best Bars near Nicholasville

“Jake's Cigar Bar is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a cigar. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the lounge is comfortable, and the staff and patrons are genuinely friendly, making it easy to spend a few hours there. The drink selection is excellent and pairs well with a good smoke.

The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is the cigar pricing. The selection is solid, but many cigars are priced well above MSRP, making it hard to justify buying sticks there regularly. I tend to bring my own cigars from other cigar shops. If the cigar prices were a bit more reasonable, this would easily be a 5-star experience. Overall, it's still one of the best cigar lounges around for the atmosphere, drinks, and company.“

“Let me start by saying that the all of the staff at Neon are wonderful amazing people , this is always a great place to be, this is my go to spot, they have events that are spectacular, occasionally live music, karaoke 🎤 ,and celebrations if you want to have a great time come on down qnd join everybody!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food was next-level good—full of flavor! Shoutout to Julian the chef 🧑‍🍳 💋 because WOW 👏🏽—the food was absolutely fire. Bold, authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly made by someone who knows what they’re doing. The hacienda dip was criminally delicious 🤤 and the margaritas? Let’s just say self-control was tested 🍹!!! The staff? Absolute gems. Super personable, welcoming, and on point the entire time. Clean space, great music, and a vibe that makes you want to order “just one more thing.” Do yourself a favor and go—you’ll thank me later. 🔥 And listen—if you don’t like this food, it’s probably because you’re not familiar with REAL, authentic Mexican food 🇲🇽This isn’t Taco Bell 🫠!“

“This new business is amazing! The owner and staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Ryan behind the bar is a great time! This combo relaxed flower shop/bar is a concept with something for everyone, different than other places. If you haven't tried it yet, get there.“

“the best. Best service. tasty dishes. friendly staff.“

“Only leaving a 5 star review because I can't leave 6! Outstanding service at the bar, including an extensive and knowledgeable tour of the vast selection of rare and delicious bourbons available here. This would be a great spot to grab a drink after work, or to go on a date, or for out-of-towners like me to enjoy some southern hospitality. Thanks Kenny! 👋“

“SandTrap is an awesome place with a really nice setup and a very cool system that's both fun and easy to use. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a quiet, relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy your time without distractions. The equipment worked great, everything was organized, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. Whether you're practicing your game or just having fun with friends, this is a fantastic place to visit. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to others!“

“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.“

“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 Old Guys Pub Crawl have been here several times and always on a Thursday so that we can be with Linda. Linda makes this place one of the very best bars on our weekly pub crawl. We love this place. Just been to Spuds again. Wonderful experience.“

“Our server Connor did a great job! Awesome environment at Condado!“

“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.“

“its a laid back place with people you enjoy being around and the celeoateis remarkable i love going to oneils you never know whats going to come up thank you all“

“Creative menu, delicious, FRESH food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a favorite stop of mine when I’m visiting Lexington from California.“

“Perfect Vibe for after work relaxation and grab an amazing meal.“

“Many thanks to Danny for delivering/setting up our catering order. Everyone loved it! Your professionalism and kindness were much appreciated!“

“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!!“

“we had a wonderful authentic Italian dinner here tonight with great service, and I had fantastic veal picata! The service, and atmosphere made me excited to return! My highest recommendation! John Little“

“I think the food is Great.“

“This was our first time ever being to chilis. And hands down the best Experience I could ask for. The waiter ( Brooklyn) was very friendly and attentive. She stayed on top of everything without feeling smothering and even helped us with our app deal wile had on our phone. Overall best experience I could’ve asked for. Food was awesome and for what it cost it was one of the cheaper options in lex.“

“Everything at Honeywoood is done with such beautiful intentionality, like all of a Ouita Michel’s creations. It is no accident that you feel surrounded by Kentucky history, agriculture and the arts when you enter any of her establishments. The food is no exception. While she could not possibly be in all restaurants at the same time, she selects the best team members to represent her vision and values. We loved every part of our experience at Honeywood. Food: creamy grits and polenta, slow cooked greens, risotto, local beef and quail, fresh seasonal vegetables, crispy country ham, deviled eggs stuffed with lump crab???? AND those damn sweet potato beignets!!! Never disappoint. service is top notch, without all the fanfare of a fine dining restaurant. Wine list and craft cocktails are legit. Anything goes and we felt comfortable in fancy duds and blue jeans with a T-shirt (which you can purchase in any of her places as well as her cookbook). Thank you, Ouita, and her cool a** hubby, Chris.“

“Live country music venue that offers food and drinks. Located in the Heart of Downtown Corbin. Offering a wide variety of music types and many themed events throughout the year. Management and Bar team are great with taking care of everyone's needs. Offers rooftop seating“

“The waitress was great and she was on top of it! we had our food in a very reasonable time. No long wait time at all. I will go back there again.“

“Awesome atmosphere and beer! Margaritas are fantastic and so are the staff! Highly recommend!“
