Ona Bar • $$
108 Church St, Lexington

“Ona is a really great spot for a cocktail: reasonable prices, great seating, chill ambiance, and the cocktails are delicious! The service was friendly and efficient-we had a couple friends who didn't want an alcoholic beverage and on the spot they made a citrus mocktail that was refreshing and delicious! They also have daily specials in which they have a discounted cocktail (different ones for each day of the week) and they are $5! We got the Friday special which was a Dark N Stormy (a rum based Moscow mule sort of cocktail!) and it was great!“

Silks Bar Bar • $
125 N Mill St, Lexington

“What a wonderful little spot. I used to frequent this bar for years when I lived in Lexington. Now it's different than most bars. They don't serve food but it is connected to the bar next door which a little more upscale. So I'm guessing the owner owns both bars. It's a nice dive bar to hang out at and listen to music. They did update it and add a tunes box which you can pick and choose your music to play. Now they do ask for two forms of so be prepared for that. Yes the bar is a little worn down but the scenery of what it has looked like for years has not changed much. They did use to to have pictures of people that have been at the bar on the walk as soon as you walked in. They have since taken them down. It does get full fast. You will be shoulder to shoulder with people while you are there. You make friends with strangers like I did. Now if you have bubble issues this is not the place for you. Outside of that. Have fun and enjoy this dive bar. You should stop in.“

Al's Bar Bar • $
601 N Limestone, Lexington

“Al's is a great local spot for loud music, cheap drinks, and strong women... or some combination of the above. It's also the only place I play a decent round of pool! For a 'dive bar', it also has exceptionally clean restrooms.“

“Drinks are stiff and cold, staff are incredibly nice, they play good music all day and night, lots of big screen televisions w sports usually on, good vibes, fair prices, good parking, and there’s also darts, billiards, karaoke, and a mini arcade section in the back where you can play some of the most beloved classics in peace like Mortal Kombat II, Street Fighter II Tournament Exition, NFL Blitz ‘99, NBA Jam, Big Buck Hunter RELOADED, Ski ball, and they also have the best pinball machine ever made: Stern’s Godzilla.6 out of 5. An extra point for having Stern’s new Godzilla pinball machine, the only public place it’s available to play in Lexington.-Tim“

The Rosebud Bar Bar • $
121 N Mill St, Lexington

“This a bar that is kinda split into two sections. We were looking for a bar that wasn’t full of college-aged adults and wasn’t blasting loud music. Found it.The Rosebud is a classic old dive bar. The barstools are worn and the tables are wobbly. I recommend. The drinks are a tad expensive but it is near the heart of downtown Lexington. The bartenders are relaxed and they have regulars.“
