Awesome ambience. Always a good time and the service is pretty good. The bartenders like chatting and are always willing to cut the cigar. My Wife's Favorite is their best drink!

Jake's is one of the most beautiful cigar bars we've ever been to. We can't wait to come back!

My daughter purchased me a gift card here. I had never been here. I was overwhelmed once you walked in door. The bar is massive collection of Bourbons & all kinds of well drinks. They have a Humidor & one of the bigger collections of Cigars in Lexington. You can smoke here. They also have a nice covered area to set outside. They also have a few draft beers. This is a really place to visit.

Bourbon on the rocks

The drinks was very well made. They even smoke the old fashions. The bourbon selection is out standing. The ambiance is a very nice old school feeling. Think a classy man's club from a movie. Leather bar stools. As well leather relaxing chairs and plush sections to talk and take a load off. Oh and yes it's very handicapped accessible. Bathroom are very clean and accommodating. They have plenty of spots for wheelchairs and for ppl on canes. As well space to get though for standard wheelchair and cane. If needed they are happy to move things for you to get by. Prices very depends on what you want. The service was so great. I showed the bar tender a drink he had not seen on his phone. Mondl my bartender ran with it and made something close, but even better than the original. Peeling apart an ice cream bar to get vanilla ice cream to make it. To make a bourbon float. I really loved this place. The humidor was filled with a wide selection as well. I can't say much on it seeing I quit smoking last year but looked very well stocked. I ask and they run as low as 6$ and up. Last but not least they even have a small area to practice your putting.

After having had a few beers and cocktails it was time for even more drinks and cigars because that's usually what happens. My buddy suggested Jake's because, well it was basically one of only two places he knew of for cigars. He must have gone before they had moved because the new building is in a huge new strip mall area. I don't know what old Jake's looked like but new one is pretty nice. Large well appointed outdoor seating and a sleek bar inside with a bunch of whiskeys and bourbons (it's Kentucky, what else would it be?.) I was surprised with the walk-in humidor, it was huge but I thought the ratio was a little off given how much seating both indoor and outdoor there was. I guess when I went they were still filling it out, it was like 85% stocked. I wasn't in a cocktail mood, so I had a beer and after having gotten our cigars lit we went outside, it can be pretty loud on the inside so if you want to talk at a decent volume it might be better to take it outside.

Believe every single review about this place. The bartenders are impeccable. Atmosphere is great. I spent my evening on the patio and would do it again and again. Love everything about it.

This is their new location and it is awesome. Their bourbon selection is extensive and a few really good store picks. The humidor is stocked with a lot of tasty cigars, prices are high though! They also allow cigarette smoke inside which is disappointing. I've been here a few times and always sit outside to avoid the cigarette smoke but the chairs outside are super comfortable.

We haven't been here in a long time. Decided to stop in for Happy Hour before the Heart concert. We…read moregrab two seats at the bar and ordered a couple drinks. I started with the Mirror Twin Citranomical IPA. My wife had the Goose is Loose. It was basically all vodka and some bleu cheese olives. She had them add a splash of olive juice. We ordered the Toasted Ravioli for an appetizer and they were delicious. Came out hot and crunchy and the House Marinara was good. For dinner I had the Cubano and a side of Cole Slaw and my wife had the Italian Hero with a side of Herb Roasted Potatoes. All of the sandwiches and sides were very good. The beer selection is OK. They have a huge bourbon selection. When we arrived the crowd was very minimal and by the time we left there was a 15-20 minute wait and the place was understaffed. I'm glad we got there when we did as we didn't have to wait for seating, service or food. Next time maybe we will check out the patio.

I found this restaurant to be a bit confusing. Fabulous location, nice patio space. The service…read morewas good - seated quickly, checkin on us regularly but not overly so. Host seating in this location seems like it might be a little bit upscale. Not fancy necessarily, but something more than the kind of run-down look and casual menu we found. Started with the spinach dip; it was fine - not good, not bad. Staff said they are known for their burgers so we all ordered one. Decent but nothing special. French fries were excellent. Beer cheese grits were a fun choice - good but was hoping for a little pizazz. Drink menu (particularly the wine list) was better than expected though they were out of our firs two choices. May try again for a happy hour, preferably on a warm day for some patio time.

The Goose Lexington - Very dimly lit inside, hard to get a good pic of the food, but this was my mushroom onion pizza, yum!
