Okay, let’s be honest… they could just change their name to hipster bar if they wanted to be obvious and self evident; but that wouldn’t be ironic and that’s the first commandment in the hipster bible now isn’t it? The interesting thing is that this used to be a nitty gritty biker bar back in the day, and you can kinda still smell that when your here. They usually have good bands play here but it’s not REALLY the best venue. It gets super packed and sweaty and the sound system is well, average. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a blast and you’re sure to have some interesting conversational encounters. But just understand that it’s really designed for punk shows, yes; go see a punk show here and soak up the stench. Oh, and they usually charge a cover when there’s music, which I hope means that the bands are getting paid well. PBR anyone?

The place stinks, literally. It’s been how many years since Lexington became smoke free? Why does this place still smell like smoke?! Dust, smoke, whatever exactly it messed with my allergies for hours. This place has fans though, almost to the point that I felt like an outsider crashing someone’s party. I just didn’t get it. Maybe I came on a wrong day. The female bar tender had a bit of an attitude, one of the taps wasn’t working but she made a mean Dixie moonshine concoction though… For the size, I’m not sure that it was worth $ 8 though. The free pool on Wednesdays and Sundays gains at least an extra star. Even though there’s only one table, the Sunday that we were there it was dead, so the table was open.

Worst bartender in the USA by a mile… If John Taffer ever set foot on this property, he would plead for them to close. Female bartender was whining and openly complaining about the amount of the tip before we even had a chance to finish our stay. We had paid once for some drinks, and had decided to have one more and give more of a tip after. The thing is I have never seen such a display by a service worker who had just received $ 32.00 tip on a very easy, slow night in my life. Almost comical. If she only would have waited, she would have been rewarded much more. I spent $ 100.00 only to get yelled at because 40 percent isn’t good enough for this spoiled person. P. S. the drunk old regulars will challenge you to a fight if you protest. Really pathetic environment.

Want to grab cheap drinks at an awesome, down to earth enviornment? This is the place. Don’t let the embience fool you. It’s a dive bar, but it’s fantastic. Great local music as well. Definitely a highlight.

Great dive bar with a selection of music not always seen in a mainstream locale. The place keeps improving now that it’s under new ownership. The sound system has improved and Taco Tuesdays are a fine night out. I haven’t checked out their new Tiki coffee house during the day, but I’m eager to check that out soon.

We stayed in Lexington about a week ago while traveling. Called local cab to take us to a few places. After the first two stops we asked the driver to take us somewhere with some music since it was a Sunday, this is where he took us. There was live music, wasn’t necessarily our type but we were happy with it. We paid our $ 5 and went to the bar area. The bartender was very nice and attentive. She made suggestions on drinks and made a new type of white russian for us with rum chatta. Yum! That was a great suggestion. She made great jagerbombs too. Beer was also good and cold. She definitely helped our night end on a good note.

I tried to find the kindest thing I could say about this bar and the best I could come up with is this: this place is a dump. During the day it’s a hangout for local homeless, and on non music nights it’s a clubhouse for area bikers and rednecks looking for the PBR special. Teeth and deodorant not welcome. They do book decent music acts on the weekends which draw local college students who puke on nearby neighborhood sidewalks and stagger home doing the southern woo hoo at 3:00 am. Situated in a beautiful part of the historic northside, this joint is like a giant, puss filled pimple on a beautiful woman. Maybe it’s time it got squeezed.

Great place to hangout with friends. Has a stage with live music, a great jukebox and bartenders who know how to serve. One of the better bars that isn’t all college kids. Good mix of patrons. Pool table too.
