Out of this world. You can never have set foot in this city before and feel at home the second you sit down here. Owners are absolutely awesome. Atmosphere is perfect. Drinks are cheap. Music is great too. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Great at atmosphere. Awesome service. Place was packed with one bartender named Brooke who did a great job. Highly recommended place to visit when in Lexington.

THIS bar is where bars go to drink. A real bar's bar. Full of locals who, i'm guessing, have been coming here for year. Personable bartender. Good drink selection. TONS of atmosphere. Easy to find parking. We were outsiders but felt welcome.

No politics. No drama. Just drinking, sports, and sometimes music. This is Lexington’s oldest bar. There are regulars and often passerby too. The vibe is friendly and you can bring food in since there is no kitchen at this bar. Great bourbon selection. And the bartender named Jeff is a real great person. Knowledgeable about bourbon too!

Fantastic historic local bar. Very cheap drinks, but take the warning of not touching the bottom of your glass (they have one of those swanky auto-taps). I enjoyed their house lager. They also have a large selection of different spirits of you are into that. The big highlight, in my opinion, are the pinball machines (Aztec and Royal flush. Both older classic tables). The two are only 25 cents a play and are kept in exceptionally good condition. Generally, this bar draws in the older crowd, yet on weekend evenings I've found that this does change slightly. Has outdoor seating in the back. Super friendly bar tenders and patrons. A great, cheap historic bar.

Awesome little dive bar. Apparently the oldest in Lexington. Swing by after eating at Bourbon n' Toulouse, you won't be sorry.
