13 Best Cocktail Bars near Lexington

“My family and I came here for the first time recently, and it did not disappoint! The wings were good, the kids enjoyed their food and I really enjoyed their butter chicken. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back and try more!“

“A local TikTok food reviewer suggested this restaurant and I am thankful he did. I tried the lobster ravioli and my friend had the chicken. Both our entrees were 10/10! The flavors were delicious, the restaurant atmosphere was elegant but not stuffy, and the staff and owner were extremely friendly and attentive. I will definitely go back!!“

“Good food, great drink selection. Be aware that there is very little parking in front, the second lot is behind the building, a short walk. The only negative for this restaurant is the acoustics inside the building. It is loud and echo-ey. Made it hard to have a conversation with my table.Parking: Second parking lot behind the building.Kid-friendliness: Yes, it is kid friendly. In fact there were about three little league teams when we visited ?“

“From the minute I walked in and asked the guy “how are you “ and he told me he was 16. The whole visit was GREAT. Everyone was friendly, attentive, happy and the best part it was clean and just a great visit. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great. By far the best visit I have ever had there. Keep up the great work. Will definitely be back.“

“I LOVE this establishment! Love the extened bar seating, staff friendliness & knowledge, atmosphere...Just all of it! Food is unique & delicious! Staff is friendly and so courteous when you want tasting of any beverage before you choose a whole glass. Love the fun of the shelf beverages...I mean you can drink one of so many choices it's amazing. Live music is always good as well as ambient music too. Outside area is really nice too with tower warmers and fancy rock fireplace. I hope this establishment is here for the haul!Kid-friendliness: This is more of a trendy adult type crowd place. Early hours/daytime I'm sure are fun for parents with kids, more adults later hours, but the establishment is very welcoming to all! I wouldn't hesitate going no matter!“

“I recently visited here for the first time as a birthday visit to my friend. I have to say it was above average . The staff were from Guatamala. The cuisine certainly seems authentic. The main attraction here is the bean dip! Yummy! The salsa bar is fresh. The service is above average. However, the vast majority of servers do speak all Spanish . So, be sure to speak slowly and concisely when placing your order. Not my new favorite, but 2nd favorite .Parking: Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest. Closed Mondays.“

“I'd heard good things about their menu and decided to take my teens for dinner since other plans fell through. The bar was full when we arrived a little after 7, we took 2 tables near the bar, no hostess or server. A bartender came over to take our order, sweet tea was unsweetened, replaced with soda. Several employees (I assume bc the owner was passing out tax documents to them) seemed to be hanging at the bar, not sure if they were on the clock or not... took over an hour for food to arrive, many to go orders ahead of us apparently. Appetizer came out with the meal (personal pet peeve), but everything except for one sandwich was hot and fresh. Loved the app sampler and fries, my drink was well made and strong, however I really wanted the food to be better. Mac and cheese looked amazing, but there was a strange flavor that kind of got caught in your throat, wraps were ok, limp lettuce too much dressing. Atmosphere was fun, good music, lots of games, I'll definitely come back just for drinks with the adults. I wish they'd had one dedicated server for the night (although I understand it was a quiet Tuesday) to lend a hand running food and whatnot. Full disclosure, the owner is kinda sorta family (lol divorced his nephew), so I wanted to love it but felt meh instead.“

“Some friends and I went there for our girls' trip/vacation. And I tell you they did not disappoint. We all had the crab boil and CJs wings. Let's just we were all quiet. That man can cook, good lawd!!! Everything was absolutely wonderful. It will be our stop everytime we are in Columbia. Good job Courtney and I'm proud of you. Keep up the awesome job.“

“A friendly, eclectic, and interesting clientele, ranging from ex-athletes; business owners; alluring femme fatales; showbiz folks; rich guys; and down-to-earth, pretty pool playing gals. There's a surprisingly wide libation selection for an establishment that has probably the best prices in the Columbia, SC area. I enjoy the wine and occasionally a Guinness! The bar "maids" provide a "room with a view" and always look out for regulars and new patrons alike. Restrooms are clean, the area safe, close parking is plentiful, five sports tv screens, free wifi, and the jukebox is just right. Sometimes there's comedy or live music or a dj. Try it... you'll like it!“

“good time with great people and a great bartender tammy and a lot going on.there...“

“The food is very good! love this place.“

“I only rated a 4 because I didn't actually go in. While waiting for my passengers, however, security checked on me frequently to make sure everything was fine. After checking on me, they ensured my passengers and let them check on me themselves and allowed reentry after a security check and pat down which was greatly appreciated! They only allow members after a certain hour which is great for added security! Definitely recommended as far as going to a safe space. I'll have to check back in if I ever actually enter the building. Oh, parking ? get there early!!“

“Our server Jailyn was amazing!!!! My family and i traveled from Atlanta to South Carolina for a graduation to eat here. She has great customer service, really sweet, and she was very welcoming. The food was also really good as well. Most definitely recommend this restaurant anytime you’re in Columbia, South Carolina. Oh yeah make sure you ask for Jailyn 10 out of 10 recommend!!!“
