The Lexington

This is the second time I've been to this bar, both times for live music being played there. The only issue I see for it as a venue is that the stage is just as dark as the rest of the bar. They do have a nice selection of whiskey and tequila, the bathrooms are unisex and clean, and they have cute outdoor area out back, through the pea gravel isn't the best for standing.

This very charming spot is located right by the WSU football field. The owners were very friendly and took a lot of pride in their work! There were a lot of unique paintings on the walls by local artists. I love that touch. After first choosing drinks from the list, we then allowed the bartender to surprise us. We both got hand crafted bourbon drinks that were amazing! The snow started to really come down at this point but we were quite content and warm. Even bad weather can't ruin a perfect night when you're sharing it with your "person." We never did make it to Campus Martius. But the weather seems more reasonable today, this weekend and we will be out and about in Detroit on Black Friday causing trouble as usual.

We had been Downtown Detroit celebrating the holiday kickoff. We just love all the new spots popping up all over Detroit and of course, we were excited to stop by The Lexington Bar. Located close to Wayne State, this neighborhood bar is a fun little spot to enjoy a craft cocktail. We ordered a round of drinks to top off our wonderful evening! The bartenders, who we think are the owners, did a great job shaking up the drinks! The bar was quite busy so we were lucky to find a few seats. It was great seeing so many people out and about enjoying a beautiful night in Detroit. If you're in the area, I would most certainly recommend The Lexington.

Had some drinks here at the Lexington, was sent there from Bash Sushi next door. Very nice atmosphere here. Drinks were reasonably priced. Was greeted by all three people working there, informed this is a family establishment. Loved that it was easy to relate to the owners and family. Very personal place and awesome business model. Will definitely return in the future!

The Lex offers fantastic craft cocktails in a very welcoming Woodbridge neighborhood bar. Dave is the owner & was our bartender. Very nice & easy to talk to. The Dirty Lansbury was my personal favorite. It's a lemony vodka cocktail. Wonderfully refreshing. It's not currently on the menu. The Havalina - tequila, pomegranate, honey & ginger syrup. Great winter drink. Velouria - Makers Mark bourbon with. Grand Mariner merengue & a drizzle of maple syrup. Nice twist on an old fashioned. They don't serve food but you can bring it in. They even have the QR code for Bash's menu at the bar (it's 2 doors down). Pie Sci is also right down the block. There are picnic tables on the back patio for summer gatherings. Loved this place & wish we lived closer. You will want to return to over & over again.

The drinks and the staff were equally delightful. The mercifully keep the music in low and the atmosphere lends itself to meeting new friends. I plan to come back.

The Lex is single-handedly the greatest bar in Detroit. Excellent drinks, music, atmosphere, and brings a real sense of community to the neighborhood. Try the Thanks For Last Night if you're a fan of craft cocktails.
