Always lively atmosphere with music, games and couple of Lexington's best bartenders. Food is great too!

Went here for an event and enjoyed a bourbon espresso old fashioned ($15) with a north lime doughnut. They have live music that mixed Christmas music into the playlist. This place feels like a neighborhood bar, from the bartender's to the casual cozy atmosphere. Bartender's were busy at times but were not chatty as they slowed down. read more

First time here but definitely not the last. Great bartender, cozy atmosphere, good drinks, and a fabulous location. Low key vibes on a Tuesday night - should have brought my laptop or at least a book. Could have settled in here for hours. Will be back on a weekend to try the food. Give this place a try - it will be your new hang spot. read more

Old North Bar + Kitchen is completely transformed since the last time I was there over a year ago. Still nice people and beautiful space, but now it's a MUST SEE & EXPERIENCE in Lexington. This space is just oozing fun, flirty, grown and sexy. The food is "spectacular" as it was described to me and the prices are super reasonable. Perfect for working, chatting, getting drinks with friends, or just hanging solo. I will definitely return for more spectacular food, drinks, ambiance, and service! read more

Came to Old North Bar for an event and will definitely be back! Loved all the drinks I had there - pinto grigio, a piña colada and one of the best dirty martinis I've ever had!! The seating was comfortable and made it easy to talk to the whole group. read more

Amazinggggg expresso martini 10/10 recommend. We had our book club here and it was such a good location.

Randomly popped into Old North Bar after exploring Greyline Station. I ordered a beer from a local brewery and a burger and fries from the kitchen. Both the bartender and kitchen staff were friendly. The facility was overall clean. That night they also had live music going. The burger was surprisingly flavorful and reasonably priced. Crinkle fries were crinkle fries (shrug). Overall I had no complaints and this seems like it'd be a fun place to hang out. read more

Old North Bar - a burger and fries on a tray - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

SUPER nice guys. Really cute shirts (I need one)! Very yummy cocktails. Absolutely beautiful space. Extremely fun take home cups (at no extra charge). Old North Bar is positioned to be 'the' anchor of Greyline Station. After all, who doesn't want to 'sip and shop' their way through Julietta Market and the other stores? They're a week in and it's already a home run. Expect me to be a regular. read more

Absolutely awful food. Ordered the breakfast burrito which used to be decent, but is now 1/2 the size and tasted terrible. Should have had bacon (none) and egg (minimal)...it was basically a tortilla filled with sautéed onion and bell pepper. Very disappointing! Husband's breakfast sandwich also had no bacon and was flavorless. On a positive note the tots are tasty. Sadly we won't be returning to eat at this neighborhood establishment. read more

The food was first rate, we had been to the races all day and needed a good meal. The burger I had was the best I've had in a while. The young lady tending bar was an artist. She made a great gin martini, asked all the right questions and made the perfect martini. read more

I turned 21 during Covid, so I have not had the opportunity to go to a lot of bars. Me and my friends saw this place in Greyline station and decided to pop in! I was not prepared for how much I would LOVE it. Wes (bar owner & amazing bartender!) made us feel so at home. Having no experience ordering drinks we all basically asked him to surprise us each round. His cocktails were AMAZING! You can tell he has passion for what he is doing & that shows with delicious drinks. This place also is in a great location. Greyline station has tons of vendors, shops, a grocery store, and even a patisserie store. It's definitely a place that will add so much to Lexington! Last thing: if you are cautious about the places you go because of covid, this was the safest I have felt going out! Tables are actually spaced and there is hand sanitizer everywhere. After coming here one time, I'm confident l will be here time and time again in the future!!! read more

The service and the food is excellent lots of room great vibe their drinks are good and not expensive

I ordered from here the other night for the first time through door dash, I got the fried green tomato BLT and fries. I honestly think this was the best sandwich I have had in my 50 years on this earth! Amazing. The food arrived hot and fresh and was more than I could eat in two meals. I will be adding this spot to my favorites and definitely ordering again soon. read more

Just had brunch on a Sunday. Food was awesome. Never once had an empty glass. Wes was attentive and kept a great on us. The kitchen staff was awesome. They made a slight mistake in our order and corrected it immediately. Food was delicious!! Hung out for several hours watching football and spending time with family. Highly recommended! The atmosphere is even better after they've added a bunch of TVs. read more

Was there for Taylor swift trivia and the place was almost to standing room only. They found a way to bring in more tables and chairs for everyone. All the workers were super nice and did every thing they could to keep everyone comfortable and happy. I got the wings and they were much better than I was expecting. My fiancé said the the chicken tenders were very good as well. read more

first time here. what the kitchen is serving does not match the on line menu service is poor. have waited almost an hour for our order. not impressed. Will not return read more

Great bar and service; plenty of room for a big group. Plenty of food options in the building, but the restaurant in the bar is excellent too. read more

For two drinks one being a very small mimosa it cost us $25. Also the bartender wants to scam you. I waited after she put my card in. She never once asked if I wanted to open a tab which I did not, so I asked her if I was good. She said yes. I thought it was strange she didn't want me to sign anything to tip her. I wake up to a $14 charge the next day. Not to mention she sees me leaving because this was in the morning and they were not busy. She could have told me she opened a tab. This place is a complete rip off. Paid $39 for two drinks that were a joke. read more

Located within the old Greyline bus station you will find Old North Bar. This has quickly become my new favorite place to go grab a cocktail! The drinks are fantastic and they have many different options. Great draft beers, plenty of wine to choose from and hand crafted cocktails. Currently, the autumn margarita is my go to. The bar is situated at the entrance of the julietta market so you can grab a drink and stroll through the shops or lounge in the seating around the bar. They often host live music, trivia or yoga! Check out their Instagram to stay in the loop! read more

This review is mostly about the bartender who was working tonight (5/4). She was very rude and unwelcoming and I will not return again to this place because of her. read more

What a great venue!! Awesome drinks. Can't wait to come back! Wes was great to talk to. Unique and comfortable atmosphere.

My wife and I were married September 2021 at the Clerestory which is an event venue also located in Greyline Station. Old North provided bar service at our reception and they were absolutely top notch! Wes, the owner, established contact with us months in advance to assist with planning the bar service. He invited us on more than one occasion to share a drink with him at the bar to go over wedding details such as alcohol preferences and drink customizations. In addition, we had a very specific service request for our guests during our reception and Wes was more than happy to accommodate. During the reception, Wes was present and supportive of his rockstar team of bartenders who were full of personality and engaging with our guests. We received excellent feedback about the bar from our guests after the wedding. Please do not hesitate to pick Old North to cater your event's bar - you won't regret it! Wes is an awesome local business owner who really cares for his clients! Oh, and we like to visit the bar on days we're not getting married too. The drink prices are fair, staff are wonderful, and they host things like live music, trivia and live comedy on select nights. Check it out for yourself! read more

My office coworkers and I stopped at this bar on Dec. 8th at about 10:00. The bar is fine but the bartender was less than welcoming. Honestly, I think she would have preferred us not to have stopped in. This is not a place I would ever go to again. read more

I was just married on 8/26/23. I knew from the beginning I wanted a band as I know what a difference it makes from previous weddings I have attended. My husband was hesitant once we started looking at prices. We finally found Kudmani who was in our price range and that seemed...suspicious. Haha. So I did some further research and read prior reviews. I sent an interest email one night and Sammy texted and then even called within 20 minutes! After a couple of discussions on specifics, we booked the Kudmani band! From the beginning Sammy was attentive and detail oriented. You can tell he has performed at so many weddings and really knows what works and what doesn't. He was eager to listen to our requests and help make our wedding special to us. He was flexible and always so full of positive energy. You can't help but smile/laugh when talking with him. The wedding night was so memorable and a lot of that is due to Sammy and the band. Everyone was on the dance floor from the start and it stayed crowded every second of our 4 hour reception. That is due to the high energy, fun, and fantastic music that comes with booking this band. Friends and family members have since talked about how great the band was. Sammy was attentive throughout the evening and made sure me, my groom, the bridal party, and our families were having the best time. There are many other bands out there but I can guarantee you will not regret booking Kudmani! read more

Love this bar. Super clean. Nice staff, nice assortment of beers, chill atmosphere and inspired cocktails. Tonight was my third visit and each visit has been good. I brought friends tonight after work and they both said they'd be back. read more
