I reaaally love this spot! It was very unsuspecting!!
I sort of expected an old, boring dive bar, but it was super cool! It honored the history of the building, it was super cool with neat architecture, the bartender who took care of of me was SUPER kind and he was very helpful, and there was even amazing live music!! I don’t even expect or intend to see live music tonight, but it was a pleasant treat and the lady who was singing (Dec. 10, 2025) was AMAZING!!
This is a great, casual bar to stop into, and it manages to make you feel connected with Kentucky history and the Lexington community, too! 🙂 ❤️

There is no food here but they do have really good fresh popcorn

A pretty chill and quiet (maybe it was the night we went) place to have a drink. They also have some popcorn that you can have with your beverage. The selection of bourbon was limited. The bartender was friendly and made sure we got our drink.

This place sucks all around
Disrespected my friend in the Army by the bouncer not letting him in because he didn’t answer correctly on what his “favorite type of deep dish pizza was. The manager himself came over and knocked out drinks down and pushed us out! It was insane! Henry Clays is childish and genuinely the worst time you could have in Lexington.

Awful experience. Bartender / owners are VERY rude. Place smells awful, what a dive bar. STAY AWAY from this gross place. Not clean at all, every table smelled like weed and was covered in sticky drinks, bubble gum and trash.

What a wonderful fun sport to meet friends, enjoy a variety of delicious beverages, appreciate great tunes from live music groups, like the The Ringers! The long bar is unusual to see and provides special charm. The free basket of popcorn complements a delicious brew and invites a second, after an appropriate amount of time, of course! If you’ve not been, you need to visit with a friend or two. It’s a local treasure.

Visited on a Thursday night while traveling with my son as he toured UKs Law School. An incredibly welcoming place where you can tell people enjoy each other’s company. The owner made us feel appreciated and was a tremendous conversationalist. A lot of fun. You won’t regret stopping. I look forward to another visit.

Atmosphere was great but personally I was off put by them not having a menu, and when I drew a blank on what to order so did the bartender. He ended up asking if we liked cosmos which was fun but didn’t seem to fit the vibe of the bar? Didn’t say anything like “oh we make a great (insert signature Henry Clay/kentucky inspired here)”. Just thought it was crazy to not have a menu and also not be prepared for people not knowing what to order, especially young people who aren’t familiar with cocktails

Had a bad atmosphere in general, didnt feel welcomed by the staff. The bathrooms and building were run down/unclean.

I love the live music that plays on the stage and the folks behind the bar are literally the nicest people you’ll ever meet! I love how the owner will come out and help his staff when it gets a little busy as well. All around I find it a great place to hang out and have amazing drinks! Oh and don’t forget to ask for the free popcorn! The location right off of Main Street in downtown Lexington gives the bar a unique feel along with the historical ties to Henry Clay himself adds a whole different element to this Lexington landmark!
