Went to see a band play, and it was a lot of fun! The bartenders/owners were excellent! Me and my group were at the bar watching the show, and they would check up on us to make sure we were good. The decor was fun and pleasant, and they had a small but well kept outside sitting area if you …

Decentralized from the busy downtown, AI bar is a decent spot in the bars ecosystem of Lexington Kentucky. I was recently there to take pictures of an event and I love the energy and vibes provided by AI bar.

Al’s bar is like Al’s home - this is the spot let me tell you. They’ve got outdoor space, they’ve got dance space, they’ve got a great stage, good drinks, amazing food. I highly recommend the bahn mi. You’ll see.

I am bias in posting this review as my son is playing here live tonight. It's quite cozy and casual and the bartender was great.

Awesome little hangout spot! The food is excellent, they have a huge selection of drinks, two stages for music (indoor and outdoor) and the people were cool. I'll definitely be back!

Right in the heart of Lexington lies a small bar with huge vibes since the 60's. Rooted on the corner of Sixth and South Limestone it's been a staple on the map since 1960. A must when traveling to or from the Horse Capital of the World. Hosting phenomenal venues, great food, drinks and an atmosphere that makes you come …

Had to make a road trip stop overnight in Lexington and wanted to check out something close to the hotel. I stumbled upon everything you would hope for in a dive bar. The staff was friendly and the two bands were really good. Had a great time all by myself and no weirdos there to bother me. 10/10.
