Overall pretty great spot. Was bustling but there was still plenty of room. Interior was clean with plenty of spots to sit and the side rooms for pool which was quite fun and also fairly well maintained. Service was friendly and efficient, drinks were good and prices were fair. Would recommend and return for karaoke or pool any time! read more

I walked into Yesterday's expecting the usual off-key karaoke chaos, but somehow, every singer sounded like they were auditioning for "The Voice." Either Lexington is secretly full of undiscovered talent, or there's something magical in their (surprisingly fancy and reasonably priced) cocktails. Seriously, where else can you belt out "Total Eclipse of the Heart" with a Key Like Martini that looks like it belongs in a five-star lounge? 10/10--will be back to live out my rockstar dreams! read more

Rudest most awful bartender I've ever seen! Strongly recommend against coming here! Girl with the dyed blond hair was extremely rude to so many guests for no reason. She treated me like I was bothering her just for ordering a drink!. I did dont know how she's still a bar tender. This place really ought to fire her for how she treats people. Never coming here again and neither should you. read more

Bartender was horribly rude! 5'6" dyed blond hair, black tee, black bandage on her left arm. Treated me like garbage, I have never been treated like that in my life. Has absolutely no business being a bar tender. I'm a combat veteran and Firefighter EMT and was spending time with my wife after a 72 hour shift. First time at this bar since Neon Moon bar was not doing karaoke this night and we were invited to this bar by regulars there. I was having an excellent time with my wife. I thought this was genuinely a great bar we would be returning to going on. I would have given this place 5 stars. But I came up short $6 on my card closing out. My pay was delayed, it happens, I'll just have to move money from another account. While I was doing this the bartender stood and stared at me like I was going to run off or something. Gave me a horrible disrespectful attitude which was completely uncalled for in front of everyone. Treated me like I was a low life bum, when it was just a simple mix up on my pay. She would not let up and loudly kept saying I am keeping her from other patrons and need to pay. I was not keeping her from anyone, give me a second to move money Jesus Christ lady. She embarrassed me and my wife and ruined our entire night. Other patrons who saw what she did were disgusted with her behavior. Even the security guard apologized to my wife about the bartenders behavior. Apparently this isn't the first time this has happened. Had she just given me a second I would have gotten the money over and given her and the other bar tenders an excellent tip for the trouble. It was truly a great night up until this point. I'm a first responder, I serve people who are experiencing the worst day of their lives as well as people who have absolutely no reason to be polite. This bartender is easily within the top ten rudest people I've ever had to deal with in my life. She should be out of customer service immediately. Just this bartender alone I would strongly advise against this place. Check out neon moon, their bar staff would never treat anyone like that. read more

Great environment, wonderful staff and absolutely a blast. Highly recommended. The food is fantastic as well.

Always have a great time. Staff is friendly, drinks are good, and there are 6 pool tables. I don't d karaoke, but always enjoy listening to others. They have a TouchTunes for the pool area during karaoke. Recently they opened a grill with a few items. We have only tried a couple things, but they have been very good. read more

This is the best place in Lexington to play pool. They have countless tables that you pay to play at the bar by the hour. No worries if you don't want to shoot an hour or more though, they have a few tables that are quarter fed... $.75 per game. It's located inside of the Lexington Center in downtown, so parking can be challenging if there is an event going on. Also, it can get super busy when there is a UK basketball game or concert going on at Rupp Arena since The Lexington Center is attached to Rupp. The food is good too. Mainly your typical pub or sports bar food, which is right up my alley. I've never had a bad experience. My favorite thing that I've ordered is the grilled chicken sandwich. It comes with fries and the only bad thing that I have to say is that the last time that I was there, the fries weren't as good. They weren't the thin crinkle fries that I had times before. Please bring those back. This would be the perfect location for a Yelp event. Why? Because a lot of people, like me, don't know that this gem exists behind that seemingly small bar front that you see from The Lexington Center. Yeah, I've passed it countless times and knew that it was there, but never did I know all it had to offer inside until my husband's pool league started shooting pool there. Yes, there are a lot of leagues in Lexington, so on an average night, that's who mainly makes up the crowd. read more

Happened to be staying at a hotel across the street from the convention center where Yesterdays is and decided to stop in and play a couple games of pool. They have a TON of pool tables and, when I was there, there weren't many people in there. I had great beers (White Girl Wasted and Yuengling) and played a couple good games of pool. Great place and great service! read more

Their new address is 828 Lane Allen Road, Lexington, KY, 40509! Cool place! Couple pool tables. Nice karaoke set up.

This is not my childhood yesterdays! That yesterdays was fun, wild; even mystical in my memories from then. Those memories don't hold justice to the new yesterdays. It is even more better!!!! To start with is friendliness. My old memories did not hold this quality next to my heart. The new yesterdays has this qualities in spades. Everyone I have met that works here; especially the most greatest bartenders in the southeast have been especially friendly and gracious. They have made my heart swell 3 times the size!!! Hahahaha!!! The karaoke, the crowd, the fun, the comradery. Such a beautiful night. Always!!! I have never left this spot without a smile on my face!!! This is the truth. Such a beautiful and fun neighborhood spot. Awesome people. Awesome pool tables. Great food . Good times. It's all good in the hood! read more

We were here last Saturday night. Love this place, plenty of pool tables to play on the atmosphere is awesome. The bar staff super friendly and fast. Haven't been in a pool hall in years but this was the best I've ever been in. Wish they had one in my town. Looking forward to coming back in the future. read more

Great little neighborhood bar with a huge side full of pool tables and a little karaoke stage in the bar side. Lots of very friendly patrons and the drinks were served quickly. Both visits we had very attentive bartenders, tables are spaced out quite far apart and the facilities were very clean. We missed karaoke the last visit but will catch it the next time! read more

I enjoy the place, but I don't like karaoke. Wish there was more pool tables. But you gotta adapt to the times and they did a great job of it. They do need to update their location, because they are no longer at west vine and now on Lane Allen. Updating location across all platforms is very important. read more

Nice pool tables and good food. Had an outstanding pork sandwich. Bar staff were all attentive and friendly. A great experience. Pool balls well clean and tables were well kept. read more

Yesterday's Karaoke - Pool Halls Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Yesterday's is the pool hall that is in the shopping center next to Rupp Arena. It has about ten tables and even a little shop for pool stick and other billiard related things. The Good - Lot's of table and a little more upscale than other pool halls in town. - They have lots of room and seating to relax between shots. The Bad - The food smells and tastes like hotel room service. The Ugly - For smoker there is a long walk either across the shopping center or up stairs if you want to smoke. read more

Good rates on coin tables- several tables available. Daily specials and decent prices on alcohol. Haven't eaten here yet, but perhaps in the future I will try something. The food I did see, looked good! read more

The food is great, and staff is very friendly. Great place to play pool and hang out. 15 different types of beer on tap, great selection of bourbon, whiskey, and cocktails. Laid back place to socialize with friends and work colleagues. read more

Excellent beer and liquor options, well trained bartenders that can make just about any drink you can think of, great food options including some of the best wings in town, and pool options for any player; brand new or a pro player. I highly recommend Yesterday's for a fun night out in Lexington! read more

The best place to have a drink and play some pool or shuffleboard. Bartenders are the best and really make you feel welcome while providing top notch service. Hands down the best place in Lex!!! read more

My husband and I stopped in yesterday for a couple of drinks just to kill some time. I had the bacon bourbon Bloody Mary and it was delicious. I have another reason to go downtown. read more

This is THE place to watch any Kentucky basketball game or shoot a game of pool. Tucked into the bottom level of the historic Rupp Arena!!! The place is run by a woman named Paige and her mother Karen. They have owned the bar for over 20 years!! It has such a hipster/biker feel while being in such a fantastic location. Really good cocktails and bar food. The pulled pork sandwich is out of this world! read more

I cannot tell you how much I love this place! The wait staff is incredible and attentive, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is relaxing and FUN! I had a horrid experience at HopCats and Pies & Pints during a hectic concert so I decided though it was crowded to visit Yesterdays. They were quick and courteous, waiting on every single patron with coolness and a smile. I also work for a "world's largest" company who books a fun night out once a year here. They have always been super accommodating and incredible to work with! You'll love the food, you'll love the service and the drink prices are great!! read more

Every time I am In the bar the main bartender is unappeasably ignorant, not respectfully serving me as a customer, however today while I was so inclined to refill an empty sweet tea another man on the outside of the bar respectfully serves me but withholds telling me I can't refill my own glass from the hose. He informs the other bartender while I am away who proceeds to refuse to let me be there. I ask for my money back for the very poor service and rude, vulgar language comes from the both of them with refusal to be polite by any means. It is unacceptable. There is nothing stating NOT to reach to refill my own cup. read more

Horrible service. Bartender was great but the waitstaff for food didn't give a crap nor did the cook. We ordered off their menu and they then wrote down on a sheet of paper what they were cooking to let us choose off of. Ridiculous! Cook or whoever should be fired based on laziness. read more

Awesome place! The food is great and the drink prices make me happy! Love love love the bartenders!

Cool place. Been here 3 times and the bartender (older women) is rude and frankly a "B". That's a word I never use, but she just flat out doesn't get customer service. read more

HORRIBLE service by a wait staff that couldn't care less. I was there this past weekend for Scarefest. The bar was jam packed, and the staff were moving in ultra slow motion. I stood in line at the bar for over 45 minutes waiting to be served, and finally left. This staff clearly doesn't get the concept of hustling to get more tips. We overheard them making snarky remarks about the clientelle in their establishment that night Amazing these people even have jobs - especially in a big college town like Lexington. Horribly mismanaged. There are plenty of other bars and restaurants less than a block away. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Plenty of 8-ft tables, all generally very-well maintained. Rates are as cheap as anyplace in town, and much better than comparable places in the larger cities. Mix of both relatively experienced and inexperienced players. Upscale setting and environment, friendly staff. And actually, there are restrooms inside the Restaurant - they're on the right, toward the rear. If you park in the public lot across from the Hyatt, be sure to bring in your ticket and have it validated. read more

All reviews about staff are accurate. I asked a simple question about the amount they billed me for pool and watched two staff members make faces/comments. I was never even told that you had to pay for pool, and we played for roughly 2 hours for $28. Never saw my itemized tab, listened to the bartenders complain about their jobs multiple times, and was quite possibly the worst customer service experience I've ever been a part of. read more

Great beer selection, friendly environment, great food, and a fun place to play pool!

Tried this place out during a very busy weekend. Service was slow, but food was good; waitstaff was nice. Would definitely be willing to try on another day. read more

I picked up Togo food and the chicken tenders are delicious. The ranch is wonderful! Would definitely get again. They also play really good music. read more

I'm not even giving this place a star it was horrible the service was awful the bartender was very rude and could careless if u had a drink or not she was a smartass!! The food OMG the burger was a frozen patty the fries was so burnt and hard it was just all together a bad experience and would never recommend this place to anyone!!!!! read more

Was here, as a meeting place, waiting for the arrival of a student filmmaker from Hawaii. The first day was a bit slow and definitely no wait staff. The place was not really busy and the busiest portion was basically me and about 10 other people who would be helping with the movie being shot over the next couple of days. Yesterday, I went there again, since we had all agreed to meet up for the first scene of the movie. Immediately, there was a guy who went out of his way to serve me water that I had asked for. Since I ran there, thinking I was late for the shoot, it was great to drink down a cold glass of water. The next time I went in there to get water bottles refilled and it was pretty easy to do so. Both these times mind you, they did not care that I did not tip them. Do not know if they actually hated me for not doing that or what. read more

Reagan at yesterdays was delicious and sooo fun!! I'm thinking about asking her out!! Definitely will be back!!

This place is a pretty good pool hall. They have nice tables, and lots of room. I guess technically it's also a restaurant, but I've never tried their food, and wouldn't really expect too much if I did. Again, this place is a pool hall first and foremost. It's also never crowded, so you won't have to wait for a table, and can often have the run of the place. Plus they have shuffleboard and ping pong...that pretty much seals the deal for me. Lexington needs more places with shuffleboard, but until they get them, Yesterday's is the place. read more

One of the two true pool halls left in the greater Lexington area. Yesterday's has all oversized 8fts that they do an excellent job maintaining overall. New cloth on different tables every so often, good rails on the majority of tables, and the legs and slate are level for the most part. Very minor issues on a few tables, which are negligible. (A few holes in the old leather drop pockets, etc.) There always seems to be at least one player in there if you are searching for someone to play with or talk to about billiards. The price to play pool is also the best I've seen. At 1$ every 15minutes PER PERSON, even if you are just learning, you WILL play more than one or two games in 15 minutes, compared to a coin operated table at 1$ per game. There are also multiple leagues that play out of Yesterday's, making it a good place for beginners to get started or long time players looking to challenge themselves. Next, ever since the staff has changed over, Yesterday's has become a pleasant experience all together. Good food, friendly service, and they are happy to see anyone who comes in. The place is kept neat and clean and does a good job maintaining its image as an upscale, old school Billiards Hall. There is also plenty of space to move and play even when there are larger crowds. Although no place is perfect, the biggest problem with Yesterday's from a players stand point, isn't a problem at all...until basketball season. University of Kentucky basketball game days create a huge influx of people causing every where around Rupp Arena to become a nightmare to get in and out of. I'd like to warn people that you will not be playing pool BEFORE a basketball game starts; the drinking crowd is just too thick. Although, if you are around for a basketball game, there is no where that even compares as a spot to get your pregame on, if you can get in. And once the main crowd disperses to watch the game live in the stadium, it becomes one of the best places to watch the game on T.V., with plenty of seating, a plethora of screens, and no problem with space to shoot a game of pool while you cheer on the Cats. Finally, even if you are not a pool player, there's a shuffle board table in the back; TV's playing sports, news, anything really; a jukebox that is actually up to date and can be connected to via an app; and last but not least fully stocked bar. All together, Yesterday's is a great experience for pool players, friends, family, young(well, 21 young), and old to enjoy together. It's a prime location to host any type of gathering with their large private room. It's a relaxing environment in the early evening and during the week, and a hopping bar on the weekends. It's a pool players dream room, in a time when pool halls are closing all over to, see one that is still thriving. Get down there, "Rack 'em up", and "Break your balls at Yesterday's." read more

Two hours to get our food because "the lunch crowd was bigger than expected" I tried to get our lunches comped and the "manager" had no authority except to knock off 20 percent which was grossly inadequate. This was a business lunch. The manager said the owner was unavailable in the hospital and couldn't be contacted. Food was two star at best. Horrible experience. read more

This is the worst place I've ever been to. I waited 2 hours for a burger that is worse than McDonald's single patty burger. I would wait 2 hours and pay $50 for a McDonald's burger rather than eat a burger and fries for free at Yesterday's. I would not recommend going there to my worst enemy. Hands down the worst service and nastiest burger ever. Save your money and time. read more
