We really enjoyed and atmosphere, service and especially the food . We were there when it opened.
When you are searching for a fresh spot in downtown Pikeville with great service a wonderful food, this place is the spot.
I ordered the sliced ribeye sliders, which had wonderful flavor with a basic setup. Cheese and A-1 sauce, thats it. Steak had great flavor, fresh and hot. Also the loaded sweet potato fries was a sweet way to top off the meal. With toasted mini marshmallows with caramel drizzled over the clouds of sweetness is the best way to finish a meal.

BANK 253 Restaurant and Nightlife is a popular local spot known for its lively atmosphere and friendly service. The restaurant offers a comfortable setting for casual dining and conversation. Its food can be hit or miss, with some items like the buffalo sliders and spinach dip being average. However, the meatloaf special, mac and cheese, and bread pudding have received high praise. One of the standout dishes is the Cadillac Burger, now called the Late Night Burger, which features a fried egg, jalapeños, and blackberry jam—delicious when paired with a Kentucky Bourbon Ale. The staff includes a tall server who is particularly attentive, always checking if everything looks correct and if additional sauces are needed. The restaurant is conveniently located near a public parking garage, the university, and the arena, making it a great choice for visitors. Though parking can be limited, it's worth parking and walking to enjoy the experience. The menu also includes options like fish sandwiches with roasted asparagus and a glass of Merlot. Occasionally, the venue hosts karaoke, and for a quieter experience, there is a tempered patio. Overall, BANK 253 offers good food and a lively environment, making it a favorite spot in Pikeville.
