Love this place. There is a high table at the back... If you like writing... Sit back there, get a glass of wine... And then you will know what I am talking about :) Great live music every time I have been there, for me, the best has been Fat Phil Band. Richard is the kindest host ever, and Jessica the best Barista :)

Great bar, cheap drinks, great music venue, close settings, and a free popcorn machine and fireplace. What else could a guy want?

Henry's staff has always been so kind! Rich always makes my friends and I popcorn when we're there!

I love the live music that plays on the stage and the folks behind the bar are literally the nicest people you’ll ever meet! I love how the owner will come out and help his staff when it gets a little busy as well. All around I find it a great place to hang out and have amazing drinks! Oh and don’t forget to ask for the free popcorn! The location right off of Main Street in downtown Lexington gives the bar a unique feel along with the historical ties to Henry Clay himself adds a whole different element to this Lexington landmark!

The classiest bar you can saddle up to in Louisville. I didnt get the name.but the skinny barkeep with the white goatee was classic Kentucky. Def make it a stop!

The music was too loud the band don't know how to play the bartender/owner was rude and disrespectful and acted like he was better than everybody else the other bartender assisted on going around collecting numbers from the women customers that were in the bar with no regards all if they were married or had a boyfriend or what just assisted on collecting numbers just so he could sleep around the bartender stash owner works the female bartender to the point where she can't take any breaks all in all this bar is not a very good place to go their egos over way the customers joy and respect I give this bar a zero out of 10 for the fact of these people don't care anything about the customers and a customer's rights they insist on making drinks that make people sick and when people have the slightest problem no matter how small or how big only wants to do is kick him out bantam or threaten to take him out back and find him these people are not professional at all in my opinion I think this bar needs to be closed down permanently

A fun spot for that late night drink with friends. The live music was fun, and the drink options were diverse.

Our first time in this quaint venue. Lots of history and bourbon. It's small so, if you are there for the band, get there early.We saw our favorite local band, Bedford. If you get a chance, gotta check these guys out.

Richard is incredibly knowledgeable about bourbon and Lexington. If you like a more chill atmosphere and great vibes, this is a can't-miss location. Don't be afraid if the bar isn't absolutely swamped; just try it! If you're doing the Bourbon trail, you have to stop here!
