Dark N Stormy (both!)
Diala A.

Ona is a really great spot for a cocktail: reasonable prices, great seating, chill ambiance, and the cocktails are delicious! The service was friendly and efficient-we had a couple friends who didn't want an alcoholic beverage and on the spot they made a citrus mocktail that was refreshing and delicious! They also have daily specials in which they have a discounted cocktail (different ones for each day of the week) and they are $5! We got the Friday special which was a Dark N Stormy (a rum based Moscow mule sort of cocktail!) and it was great!

If you are a fan of dive bars with craft cocktails, this is the place for you. We went here on a Friday night around 7. The place was not so busy yet. We were able to grab a couple seats at the bar and chat with the bartender about what drink to order. We decided on the coin and oil. It was tasty and strong. As it seems with all craft cocktails, the prices can be a bit high. Think around $10 for each drink. After a couple, we thanked our bartender and assured him we would be back.

My friend and I stopped by Ona for drinks after dinner last night. And we had a great time! $5 palomas all night?! And they were good! The service was also great. The bar wasn't so full as to be crowded but people were there having a good time as long as we were there! Definitely a cool spot for drinks! I'd go back!

It was a fun atmosphere. The drinks were fabulous. Very artsy. And I was in good company. Highly recommend

On a Friday night at around 7pm, this cozy hole in the wall on Church Street was not too packed. We easily found three seats at the bar, and could have sat around the wall if we had needed to. It's nice to find a place with a reasonable bourbon selection and craft cocktails that wasn't standing room only. I started with a Stagg Jr., neat, and it was a generous pour. My companions tried a variety of craft cocktails, and were pleased. For my second drink, I asked the bartender for a recommendation for a bourbon to drink neat. He suggested Elmer T. Lee at first, which is a spot-on recommendation, but since I have a couple of bottles at home, I redirected him. His next suggestion was James Pepper 1776, which I had not tried before. I enjoyed it, and appreciated the recommendation. The two bartenders on duty were more than happy to answer silly cocktail questions, and were quite friendly. I'll probably try this place again.

This is an odd space, but cool vibe. One of the bartenders made GREAT craft cocktails. They other one followed the recipe but didn't quite come up with the same great drinks. I guess it's the luck of the draw? Either way, worth a try I think!

Ona is by far my favorite bar in Lexington. The atmosphere is moody and comfortable, the bartenders are super fun, and a rotating drink menu full of amazing and creative cocktails.

I love all the seating options and you genuinely feel like you are in a fairytale garden wonderland! Their Nate-spresso Martini is an obvious go-to classic, but they have an extensive menu packed with unique and creative drinks. I recently tried The Emperor's New Grove and it was a delicious mix of blueberry and lavender, a beautifully balanced and refreshing combination that I would highly recommend. Overall, great drinks and a stunning atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to hang out, especially if you are celebrating or just looking to enjoy a fancy night out.

Their happy hour specials might be some of the best drink specials I've seen on this entire trip. The drinks are made fresh and were absolutely delicious. They have an outdoor area in the back called The Grove where you can hang out and enjoy your drinks. There's also another place in the same area where you can order charcuterie boards, although we didn't try them. My only complaint is that they have limited food options. Other than that, I could have easily stayed here all night! Definitely a fun spot to grab some drinks and hang out.
