Drinks are well priced and strong. That's the perfect combo. They have bar seating and tables on the sidewalk outside. If you are near downtown and thirsty, I suggest to stop in here and say hi. Take a good look around and enjoy a good drink and conversation. I mi g.d ht even be there

I've been in some divey dive bars and Rosebud isn't quite a "dive," but Lexington considers it as…read moresuch. Not much of a menu here--while there are a few bar "cocktails," you're going to have more luck with basics, like an old fashioned, gin and tonic. I asked the bartender to make me something she made well and she chose a margarita (it was fine). Great vibe though. I loved the ceiling and the neon signs. I loved the fun little decorations. Bathrooms small but clean. Staff super nice. I went on a weekday afternoon and it was empty, but they were prepping for NYE, which they predicted would be busy. I'm sure it gets busy on the weekends, especially with a college campus nearby. As I said on another recent Lexington bar review, there are several cute little bars close together that aren't "destinations" themselves, but would be a fun stop on a bar crawl.

This place is AHHH-MAZING! Honestly, it might be the best burger I've had since moving to Kentucky…read more The vibe is such a cool mix--part dive bar, part nostalgic hangout. It feels like the kind of "hopping" bar you imagined as a kid, with colored lights, loud energy, and retro knickknacks that look straight out of your grandparents' basement bar in 1986 in Milwaukee. It somehow hits the perfect balance between gritty and fun. And the food? Incredible. Everything tastes fresh and made with real ingredients. The pickles were on point, the burgers were outstanding, and the fries were loaded with toppings--honestly more toppings than fries--and I'm not mad about it at all. My new fave spot when I visit.

I had a Chiflet burger & we shared crinklecut fries & sweet potato fries. The staff was very attentive & patient with us (we had lots of questions) Really neat place with super-cool decorations & a play-list right out of the Nineteen Eighties. Will be back - it's in a really cool area of downtown.

After my previous bad experience at Thirsty Fox (reviewed separately), I was looking for a vibe…read moreshift. Ona provided it! A foosball table, a backgammon set, deep wood colors and an art deco vibe. This dark, moody little bar had a friendly bartender and unusual drinks. I had the "I Go Where I'm Led," made with kimchi infused vodka, gin, dolin dry, and celery salt. It did indeed taste like kimchi and was certainly weird. I also had the "Need 3," made with prosciutto basil infused gin sotol, amaro obscuro, bitters, and soda. Also a savory, bizarre drink that I'm glad I tried, but wouldn't get again. They have more conventional cocktails as well, like the Paper Plane, Naked and Famous, Corpse Reviver #2. They have IPAs and plain Miller Lites. They have basic red, white, and sparkling wine. Prices range from 8-13 dollars.

The bartenders were very rude, online it says they close at 2, one of the bartenders yelled, "It's time to get the fuck out" at 1:10, right after they had finally served us. All the workers were clearly intoxicated/on drugs, and were dancing to static playing on the speakers. I was hoping for a better experience, instead I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome.
