    This place has it all, all the way up to the owner. Pure class. The Whiskey and Bourbon selections second to none. The cigars are kept well and fresh. The setting is sexy

    I don't smoke cigars by my aficionado friend do. I love the smell of cigar. You should too if you go there. It's a great place to watch sports. They also have a private room. The staff is great! No food unless they have a special event. Follow on Facebook.

    My wife and I stopped in The Smoke and Oak for the first time to check it out and grab a quick drink before dinner. We had seen an ad for it online and thought it was a great idea and welcome addition to Lexington so we wanted to check it out! Just barely north of downtown on center street Smoke and Oak is in an old house that has been converted into a lounge atmosphere. Very unassuming from the outside I really like the atmosphere inside. Lots of oak (of course!) and leather gave it a nice classy look. there are a handful of different rooms to grab a spot in and a very nice large patio area in the back. I believe most if not all the room and the patios also had large tvs. They also have wifi which is really nice as this could certainly be a decent place to come and get a little work done! Upon entering we were greeted by a few staff and we were quickly set up with an annual membership and shown around. Of course the most important part, the selection! The whiskey selection was pretty good! Much better than other restaurants/bars around the area and I am sure it will only get better. They have only been open for I believe 5 weeks we were told. The prices for the whiskeys I looked at seemed very fair compared to other places I have seen them. Our bartender was very helpful in helping me find something to try that I may enjoy based on a couple favorites and what I had not tried before. They did have a couple cocktail options including a cheer wine old fashioned which I tried that was very good! Additionally I know they had a few beers, wine, and cider available. If anything I think it may be good to have just a small selection of a few other spirits for making cocktails for those that are not whiskey drinkers, but again, it is a whiskey bar primarily! As for cigars, I definitely do not know much about cigars, but from what I could tell they did have a very good selection and had plenty of ashtrays and lighters set up so you could find a good spot to indulge in your cigar! Overall I was very impressed in Smoke and Oak and I will definitely be returning and cannot wait to see where it goes from here! Oh, and I love the incorporating of the pig into the logo! Would definitely purchase a sticker or maybe a glass with the logo!

    We took a day trip to Lexington, NC this was a gem we were encouraged to visit. We were NOT disappointed. Chris, Randy and Julie were very welcoming. Great atmosphere, very laid back. The selection of cocktails and cigars were on point. We were pleased and will definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and stop by!! Side note: parking is directly in front or across the street.

    Amazing cigar collection

    Amazing place. Expert recommendations, great staff and customers, very relaxing. Great atmosphere.

    Great bourbon selection

    Great venue with a great atmosphere. I stopped in here while in the area for work and couldn't have been happier with me experience. Courtney and his team have done an excellent job with their bourbon and cigar choices. Very relaxing seating that doesn't give you the normal cramped feel and all the amenities that you'd expect from a quality cigar lounge. I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

    A number one pick from 2020...

    Food is pretty good. I would say 4-5 stars depending on what you order. Highly recommend the…read morespicy cheese curds (5 stars). Pretzel bites are a 4. There are tons of appetizers to choose from, which is great if you just want a drink and something small to eat. Regarding the entrees. Burgers, wings, wraps, and sandwiches dominate the menu. They do have a "plate" menu which has chicken and steak options. Nice variety, which includes a kids menu. I got the wings which are a solid 4 stars. Lots of flavors to choice from. I sampled my wife's Hamburger Steak plate and enjoyed it. Tons of beers (many regional) on the draft menu. 5 stars for their draft beer selection. Full bar if you want something harder or just having a bad day. Service was very good. No issues with the wait staff. So I know what you are thinking. "Overall a positive review Tim. Why not 5 stars?". It's freaking LOUD. At my table, we had to shout to carry on a conversation.

    Wow! It was our first time here, and we were drawn by the positive reviews -- and they did not…read moredisappoint. The exterior is pretty unassuming, so I wasn't expecting to walk into such an awesome spot! From the super-friendly welcome from our smiling hostess, who seated us immediately, to our waitress, Carrie, who was incredibly nice and provided excellent service, everything was top-notch! I'm always on the hunt for the best club sandwich, and I can honestly say this was THE BEST club sandwich I've EVER had! It was so beautifully presented, it almost looked fake, but it was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Pick 3 appetizers and loved the fried mushrooms, southwest egg rolls, and bagel bites, and we had a burger too! We're so happy we found this place and can't wait to come back. 10/10!
