Love this place! Located under JR Neighbors and has a speakeasy feel where it's lower light more…read moreintimate with the same food options. The last time we went they had a special menu with some high end options and it was delicious!!!! We had no idea and did not have a reservation and it filled up fast so we had to sit at the bar but the service and food was still great. Definitely look i to their special events and get reservations!

I've never written a one star review, so it really saddens me that my experience here was so. It…read morewas my partners birthday 3/14, this place was recommended to us for offering excellent cocktails. The 1920s speakeasy ambiance was well done, we were excited to enjoy drinks here. We sat at the bar next to a few other folks, the bartender asked us if we knew what we would like. I asked for a menu, she said she didn't have them out right now and would come back to take our order. The bartender returned and my partner explained that we weren't sure what we wanted to order, that it was our first time in and asked if there was a menu we could view. The bartender responded with, ''no menus, it's easier that way''. I was taken back by not only the comment, but the tone of her voice (clearly not happy with our request). I turned to my boyfriend and said, let's go somewhere else! The speakeasy wasn't crowded, but, was part of the Elizabethtown St. Patrick's Day bar crawl. I don't believe that should have any effect on the regular menu or quality of service. We were disappointed with our experience (lack of) especially on such a special day. We skipped down the road to Bourbon Barrel Tavern and received excellent service and tasty cocktails.

If you're in Lexington and you don't stop here, you're doing Kentucky wrong. I walked in expecting…read morea solid pour, but I walked out feeling like I'd just left a family reunion--the kind where everyone actually likes each other. The selection is top-tier (easily one of the best I've seen in the Bluegrass State), but the hospitality is what sets this place apart. We ended up chatting with the owner, and he treated us like old friends who had been coming there for twenty years. It's rare to find a spot that has both a world-class whiskey list and zero pretension. It's the perfect atmosphere--historic building, great energy, and people who truly know their bourbon. Pro Tip: Pull up a stool, ask for a recommendation, and be prepared to stay a while. You're among friends here.

I recently went to Bourbon on Rye while visiting Lexington and I was amazed. I got the bourbon…read morebarbecue Gouda chicken sliders and the barbecue sauce was amazing. 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.

We entered by the Speakeasy parking side and had no problem finding parking for our event. From the moment you walk in this place has so much charm and potential for whatever event is being held there! The bar display was beautiful ! A real class piece. We took some pictures as we entered the speakeasy entryway with nice lighting. The main room was so spacious and wide. We had room for a stage/band and about 45 tables of various sizes for seating, trees, wreathes, silent auction items and more! There was veggie and cracker tray out for a snack before the buffet opened. The restrooms were absolutely beautiful as well, clean and stocked through the event. The place is classically decorated to suit any occasion. I wouldlove to attend more events there!

There was plenty of room and the music was great. The bar area was pretty crowded and it took a minute to get a drink. Overall it was a blast and I'd recommend attending this event.
