Edit after owners response: Left 3 stars with this original review below. This reaction to a three-star review because your food is obviously a third more expensive than most dive bars around town, your response made me pull back two stars because you know what you don't need to get so personal about it trying to tell me to come in and look at your books? Just look at the restaurant right next door and see that I can get a burger with fries included for 13 bucks. It's not all that complicated you say you don't compare yourself to others around town well anybody that's going to come into your bar is going to do that when they're going to order some food unless they're just drunk and don't care and have a lot of money. I appreciate your long-winded response but actually I don't. You're charging almost more than boonshine brewery who has a fancy staff with exponential burgers that are way better than any dive bar including your own. The food you serve is not worth charging people $16 for a sandwich and then trying to charge them an extra $3for fries? Your food is no better than river street grill who as well will sell you sandwich with fires or tots for under $13. You're just a clicky expensive drive bar so slow down with your long winded response trying to tell me to come in and check your books. It's not that good and you're just expensive so no I'm not going to come in and sit down with you and look at your books I'm just a customer who will now not come back in because of your arrogant response so defensive about a three-star review. Good luck selling $19 plates in a dive bar when your food is mediocre. I'm done with this and your bar
My original 3 star review: Great atmosphere, love the LGBTI acceptance. But ... Your prices are a little out of control. $16 for a handheld with chips then another $2 for fries.. come on. That's a third more than any other dive bars around town. PBR even is twice as much as taproom next door. Y'all need to calm down with those prices but hey if your base keeps paying why not 😅 I'll only be back for special events not for food or casual drinking

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!! This is hands down the single greatest bar I have ever been to in my entire life. Cam and Madi were so welcoming and also they make thee best drinks. My partner and I were visiting from out of town and we ended up making some wonderful friendships here. We loved them and this place so much we literally stayed another night just to come back to Lily’s!!! We will definitely be coming back to Boone to come here again!!!

Words cannot express how happy I am that me and my partner came to Lily’s. What was supposed to be a one night trip in Boone turned into a two night because of the kindest people that I met here. HUGE shoutout to Cam and Madi, those two made this experience the most memorable trip and I am so very lucky to have met them.

Great place to stop for drinks and food while on vacation. We loved the atmosphere of this place. The loaded fries were some of the best bar food I've had outside Louisiana!

The tofu wings were simply delectable!! We also had the tempeh wrap wjth chips and tater wedges. Everything was so tasty and cooked perfectly. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. The vibe was PERFECT despite what others have commented. I loved the photo booth. Thank you for having so many vegan options!!!

I've never had tofu wings, but these blew my mind! They were crispy and tender and outright amazing!! The vegan Lily sauce was great, especially with the tater wedges. The tempeh wrap was super tasty as well. The vibe was laid back and super chill. Loved fhe photo machine💗💗
I will absolutely be back!!!

I eat here whenever I'm in Boone. Cool atmosphere and lots of vegan options. Also a good outdoor seating area. We ordered the chicken sandwich sub fried tofu and the chef and server came out to tell us the bun wasn't vegan and offered to put it on a pita. We did that and it was great, as were the brussel sprouts.
A bunch of beautiful. Women but found out it was a gay bar it sucked.... To each his own, but they should let people know that there's too many beautiful women in there for that. And very rude bartender

Over my years at app state this has served as a great safe space for me and my friends. Anytime I’ve come here I’ve had such a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere. The few times I’ve had issues with patrons who were being hateful the staff addressed it immediately. If you need a space as a LGBTQ+ individual this one is for you. Only downside is it can be a bit pricey on the drinks and food. Overall if you have some extra money to throw this place will probably have what you need in a college bar. The staff is typically very respectful and the owner is a true ally to the community.

Lily’s is so important and delightful! Love their vibes and their commitment to community. Not to mention their tater wedges 🥰

Staff was amazing, patrons were easy to be around. Everyone seemed happy, bathrooms were clean. Food was amazing and the prices great.
