Stopped in here for a late night drink & dinner while spending the night in Lexington. Dan the bartender in this friendly welcoming place makes a great drink & really knows his whiskies & Bourbons. Phenomenal chicken wings & a good burger. Would definitely go back

Received an invite from 1 of their bartenders during an unrelated tour/tasting in town. We experienced an amazing locally owned business-engaging with 1 of the 2 owners (extremely knowledgable). Good staff on duty and an AMAZING selection of adult fluids to entice your tastebuds. Don’t be fooled by the smaller food menu-still worth partaking and care infused! Beyond surprised on how GREAT this evening turned out-keep up that hard work

Awesome venue! Very hipster atmosphere, but I don't mind. Prices on drinks are pretty normal for downtown. Bourbon selection is excellent. Food was surprisingly good. Way better than most bar offerings.

Fabulous drinks, delicious food and fun atmosphere. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Definitely a must go!

Great place , the bar back is cool as heck, the booth were Circular and very 60ish lookThe bartenders were very helpful, fantastic selection of whiskey and bourbon!Fun had by all !Cheers5-13-22

Top notch all around! Had the Charcuterie board which was a nice light snack while we tried a variety of bourbon's. The bourbon menu is quite extensive and the bar staff very knowledgeable about the variety. Great vibe and atmosphere as well. I recommend it!

This was a gem to find! The bartenders (Chris, Jason and Dan) were really helpful in getting us to places we could explore in Lexington. The drinks are great. Highly recommend the bourbon and turmeric sours and the bourbon slushies. We can't wait to visit again.

Aubrey and Taylor absolutely made our evening! We ordered off menu several times and they were happy to both accommodate our requests for cocktails and wanted to learn about how the cocktails could be improved. This bar already has some very talented cocktail artists, and they will continue to influence and improve cocktail quality in Lexington!

I just wanted to say this is the best place that I’ve ever been to in my entire life. If I could live in this place I would.The people here are the friendliest people you could ever imagine they are so funny they could do stand up Comedy if they wanted to. The drinks are amazing!! The workers in the whole environment is aesthetically pleasing. 1000/10 would recommend and would come back. I had to write this as soon left because I was so excited that I finally found some place it was worth going to.

Probably the best bourbon bar in Lexington. Cocktails are to die for. Top notch staff. Has pub grub if you need it. Wedge salad is on point.
