It has a very modern lounge look with a great view of the street and people walking by. It was a beautiful day so the windows were open. You almost forgot you were in Lexington. I got the funkadelic drink, and my friend got the Clooney. Both were really good but completely different. I enjoyed the funkadelic, it was like having a drink on a beach.

Georgie's only opened a couple of years ago and every friend I heard from that has gone raved about it. While bourbon is a longtime Kentucky treasure, the cocktail scene in downtown Lexington has only recently grown from a handful of weekend spots to a thriving business. On this particular occasion, my wife was at a banquet in the downtown Hyatt, so I took myself out for dinner and drinks at some new places. This was stop #3, and it was by far my favorite. I found a seat right at the bar and started looking over the extensive cocktail list. As I took in the atmosphere, I noticed several couches, a long bar, and some open area by the front. The bartender working while I was there was Jordan, who runs the bar as well as one of my favorite Lexington late night spots, Centro (another 5). And when I say he "runs" the bar, I mean it. He managed to make cocktails and keep the line moving mostly by himself while I was there. He recommended the Quiet Beatle, which I thoroughly enjoyed for a perfectly reasonable price. I got one more vodka soda when things calmed down a bit, and went on my way. There are little bites available, as well as an extensive cocktail and bourbon list. This is definitely a place you can meet a group of friends for happy hour or late night drinks, or have a nice date. I can't wait to come back!

The chicken was fresh and the fries were really good as well. They also have a really nice cocktail list and they make all of their syrups and shrubs in house which I think is awesome. It sets them apart from other bars in the area. I got the union cocktail and it was the perfect mix of bitter and sweet. My friend had the bourbon sour and it was really good as well. Will definitely be back here next time I'm in Lex.

There's a back patio I didn't visit, but the interior is super cute. Only food option is charcuterie, but definitely with very generous portions. I liked our plate but would recommend checking out some of the nearby restaurants if you need more food. Now realize KY sets the bar high for bourbon; hence the one star deduction.

Well, it broke my stereotypes because they had wine, beer, cocktails, and mocktails. I ended up creating my own margarita swirl by mixing the margarita and sangria ($10.16). The price is about the same as most other places, but you get to get your drink whenever you're ready and you can close out quickly by dropping your card in a dropbox or go back up to the register and close out. The ambience is really cool because they had swings at their tables - not all of them but a good portion.
