Very nice bar, atmosphere is dark. Menu is limited. Young and new to the Business. If your looking for the after dinner place, this is it. Plenty of seating, good drinks and the waitress is very attentive. With time this will be the place to go.

We decided to check out the SkyBar in Lexington and it was such a pleasant surprise. Starting with the speakeasy-style basement entrance that anticipates your entrance into a secret place. A welcoming bartender with choices of seating at the bar or an assortment of tables situated around the edges of the space. A gorgeous and colorful fireplace framed the opposite end of the space. I loved the atmosphere with painted bricks and a hint of sparkle and the dark wood pub tables with comfortable chairs. The bar food/ appetizer/ dinner menu is small but mighty. We decided on the Cheese platter that came with 3 cheeses, sourced from local farms, thinly sliced salami, apple slices, black grapes, spicy almonds, chocolate raisins, a skewer of giant stuffed mushrooms, gorgeous mustard, bread, and crackers. Then to add a holiday flare some pretzels glazed in pumpkin chocolate and cranberry jam. So good.
We also ordered Pollo asado tacos. They came with bean salad which we put on top of the tacos. This flavorful dish was a quintessential taco with pulled chicken, tomatoes, beans, and peppers all diced small and mixed with refreshing cilantro leaves to round out the tastes. Spicy with just enough kick.
Yum.
The music was just right, fun, and not too loud for conversation. Our server was personable, polite, helpful, and welcoming. We were so glad we decided to visit and will definitely be recommending it and going back ourselves.

Skybar played host to our wedding welcome party in October and the night could not have been better! Communication beforehand was prompt and clear, charges were reasonable and the event itself was wonderful. We had catering that provided perfect small bites, which the servers packaged up for us to take at the end of the night. Everyone was friendly, the service was great, and we’d happily recommend Skybar to anyone else looking to host a fun event in Lexington.

Skybar is by far the best bar in Lexington. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable of drink recipes, hospitality is on point. You never feel ignored. Angelica and Kelby are such sweethearts. The food is my favorite late night eats, especially the nachos.

Do not drink and get tipsy/drunk. My friends and I met up here to celebrate a birthday. While there one of the girls in the group tripped over her purse at the bar. Instead of telling the ONE girl to be cut off she kicked all 5 of us out. Mind you we all were responsible and had a ride drop us off so Instead of staying for the ride we had to leave the premises. It was pretty cold outside and our ride was 15 minutes out so we had to wait and the “bouncer” tried to keep me (who wasn’t kicked out or drunk) from going back and grabbing a friend’s jacket. We weren’t causing any problems a girl just tripped over her purse!!! Drinks were okay, food was decent but overly priced in my opinion with poor choices. The space is pretty small and boring, and would much rather go to the palms or go out of town for the experience we had! They did play great music!

Love coming here either by myself or with my friends. Bartenders are great! Always a good time! I’ve known Angie for years, she can make you whatever drink profile you like and it’s great every time. Alex is sweet and personable, and also very funny. I love them both. ❤️

This place used to be one of our go tos last year when we would come visit our daughter at VMI. Cute little basement hideaway. Decent drinks and a few tasty appetizers. We loved the previous bartender – good, happy vibes in there any time we went. Owners were very nice. However, visited recently and the new bar staff is very standoffish and unfriendly.

This place is mysterious. It feels like a secret due to the darkness and having to walk downstairs. The bar is nicely laid out, they have a small selection of draft beer but at least is not only IPA options. They had a Kolsch, an Amber besides an IPA. The house drinks are very good and the limeade is made in-house; very nice.
Because it is smaller, it gets very loud once more than 15 people arrive but, you can simply go early and leave around 10.
Bartenders were nice and attentive. I did not try the food as had just eaten.
You should check it out.
