By 11:30 pm though the place suddenly is crushed, and among the college tribes stomping in are some lithe girls in half-shirts looking at their phones, amidst guys that either look preppy or like country raccoons. Good vibes. Good service that is efficient over being friendly - and why not.

I walked in expecting…read morea solid pour, but I walked out feeling like I'd just left a family reunion--the kind where everyone actually likes each other. The selection is top-tier (easily one of the best I've seen in the Bluegrass State), but the hospitality is what sets this place apart. We ended up chatting with the owner, and he treated us like old friends who had been coming there for twenty years. It's rare to find a spot that has both a world-class whiskey list and zero pretension. It's the perfect atmosphere--historic building, great energy, and people who truly know their bourbon. Pro Tip: Pull up a stool, ask for a recommendation, and be prepared to stay a while. You're among friends here.

The chicken was fresh and the fries were really good as well. They also have a really nice cocktail list and they make all of their syrups and shrubs in house which I think is awesome. It sets them apart from other bars in the area. I got the union cocktail and it was the perfect mix of bitter and sweet. My friend had the bourbon sour and it was really good as well. Will definitely be back here next time I'm in Lex.

I love all the seating options and you genuinely feel like you are in a fairytale garden wonderland! Their Nate-spresso Martini is an obvious go-to classic, but they have an extensive menu packed with unique and creative drinks. I recently tried The Emperor's New Grove and it was a delicious mix of blueberry and lavender, a beautifully balanced and refreshing combination that I would highly recommend. Overall, great drinks and a stunning atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to hang out, especially if you are celebrating or just looking to enjoy a fancy night out.

You can wander around and find something that suits your fancy! Harvey's was my first stop, and it's a great vibe and ambience for an after work hang. There's a back patio I didn't visit, but the interior is super cute. Only food option is charcuterie, but definitely with very generous portions. I liked our plate but would recommend checking out some of the nearby restaurants if you need more food. Now realize KY sets the bar high for bourbon; hence the one star deduction. I was underwhelmed by my boulevardier. They do have a sizeable cocktail menu, and my friends seemed to enjoy their selections.

Not much of a menu here--while there are a few bar "cocktails," you're going to have more luck with basics, like an old fashioned, gin and tonic. I asked the bartender to make me something she made well and she chose a margarita (it was fine). Great vibe though. I loved the ceiling and the neon signs. I loved the fun little decorations. Bathrooms small but clean. Staff super nice. I went on a weekday afternoon and it was empty, but they were prepping for NYE, which they predicted would be busy. I'm sure it gets busy on the weekends, especially with a college campus nearby. As I said on another recent Lexington bar review, there are several cute little bars close together that aren't "destinations" themselves, but would be a fun stop on a bar crawl.

Upon entering it was dark so I was unsure what I was walking into. It's turns out it was fine. Lol (Watch your step though as you walk through) they have lights along the floor to help you see. There's tables and couches inside - It's odd in a good way. I sat at the bar- I didn't want to take up a table since I was dining solo. There's a patio also. The bartenders wasted no time welcoming me. I placed my drink and food order. The bison burger and tots is what I went with. My food was hot & fresh. I do wish I had ordered my burger medium or even medium well...... the well done burger made it lack flavor. I love how fresh the lettuce and tomatoes were!!! The tots were slightly too overcooked for me but as you can see they gave me a ton of them! I didn't eat them all. The prices here are very reasonable so that's a PLUS. I didn't stay long after I finished my food so I didn't get a chance to really explore the space. I do plan to return here at some point!

We entered by the Speakeasy parking side and had no problem finding parking for our event. From the moment you walk in this place has so much charm and potential for whatever event is being held there! The bar display was beautiful ! A real class piece. We took some pictures as we entered the speakeasy entryway with nice lighting. The main room was so spacious and wide. We had room for a stage/band and about 45 tables of various sizes for seating, trees, wreathes, silent auction items and more! There was veggie and cracker tray out for a snack before the buffet opened. The restrooms were absolutely beautiful as well, clean and stocked through the event. The place is classically decorated to suit any occasion. I wouldlove to attend more events there!
