Bourbon On Rye

Cute cute cuuuuuuttttteeeeeeeeGarage doors going out into the street. High end cocktail lounge for after work

Had an awesome time here in Lexington! Bartenders were nice and helpful explaining some of the bourbons to us. We had the Peri Peri wings which we really enjoyed! The french fry appetizer was actually great... don't be scared by the words pork roll! The sliders were also cooked really well and super enjoyable. The real winner here though is the cocktails and the bourbon selection. Three people with us at the bar recommended their old fashioned which really did hit the spot on the hot day. If you're in Lexington on a weekday I definitely suggest going here!

Amazing local bar with some of the most interesting bourbons in Lex! I love trying new, old , and interesting bourbons here. The staff never steer you wrong!

If you want to try some very special bourbons, this place serves 1 oz pours of everything. And they have everything, even those boubons that are impossible to find. Owner is behind the bar and a really nice guy. He will steer you in the right direction.

I moved to Lexington not too long ago, and I was looking for bars that I could see myself visiting with friends, and then I found this place--Bourbon on Rye. What a remarkable establishment to have in downtown Lexington. I am a cocktail girl, but not just any cocktail, but the ones that are made to perfection, and the presentation is on point. *thumbs up* This place checks it all off. I was there last night with my friends visiting from Louisville, and I showed them my favorite spots in downtown Lexi. Bourbon on Rye never disappoints, and I'm impressed by their cocktails *french kisses* I highly recommend this place who want to grab great drinks with a great ambiance to hang out with friends or family. The staffs are funny and super-friendly to everybody, and it's always a good time here.

Local, walkable restaurant downtown. Dark, speakeasy type vibe. The standard bar food, burgers and fries . The bar has an extensive collection of spirits. I'm a bourbon fan and asked the bartender for their recommendation. The cocktail he made was on the sweeter side, as requested and delicious.

Fun late night hang out for drinks. The old fashioned was amazing. Great vibe! There are also some arcade games in the back and a menu served earlier in the evening but we didn't try it.

One of the best bars in Lexington, their service goes above and beyond.One bartender Dan, is hands down an exceptional Bartender as well as giving out solid life advice. The other bartender a JASON!!!(told you I'd remember)is also in the same ballpark that Dan is in.(whose goatee is better that's a harder question.However if in a Friday or Saturday night you are in downtown lexington and can get a seat at Bourbon on Rye; I highly recommend doing it.Food to order: any and all burgers: Sweet Potato Fries are amazingThe salad is also great appetizer and the wings are great as well. Ask the bartender they will lead you to good choices as well.Drinks: totally up to your but a good ol fashioned or a Moscow mule is always my go to veg

Amazing place and the bar crew knows what they are doing. Visit now. If you tell the bartender what you want they will make a drink for your palate.

Came in late night for cocktails after a Kentucky football game. Great cocktails, and excellent variety of bourbon and rye whiskey. A Little dark, but that's exactly what you would want in a place like this. Depending on the time of day, you may have to go to the bar to pick up your cocktails. It can get a little crowded, especially around the bar when table services has ended.
