Jeremy J. "My buddy and I went in here and had a drink and played some games and enjoyed the show. The ambience was pretty cool because it was old-school pinball classic rock vibe field to it. Service was cool bartender was nice didn't get any food but the beer was solid."

Lauren H. "The tacos have my whole heart!!!No seriously, after trying their Thanksgiving taco I have been raving about it to my husband. It got to the point where he told me to either stop talking about it or take him to get one. So we went and got one. Another taco of theirs I really like is the chipotle chicken one. I am a little ashamed to admit, but I've been here many times recently and I've gotten the Thanksgiving taco three of those times , there is just some thing about the zest in their cranberry sauce that really pulls it together. All that to say- I'm excited to come back and try even more of the taco combinations!This is a great place to stop in NuLu for a drink and snack, or you can make a meal out of the menu items. Around the holidays the bar turns into "miracle on market" and becomes a Christmas lovers dream. They usually post who is DJ'ing on their socials. The staff has always been kind and welcoming, food and drinks come out relatively quick even when the place is packed!Overall: check them out even if it's not the holidays, the fun tacos will hook your attention!"

Blair M. "The food, decor and service are stellar! I was born and raised in Lexington, but moved to Georgia after graduating undergrad where I have remained since. We didn't have anything as unique, inviting with such engaging service when I was growing up and going to school in Lex! This collage is from a trip in 2017 and I still think of this place often 7 years later. I only wish I could stop in at least once a week for a bite and the exceptional, kind and genuine people that work and tend to patronize this one of a kind place! Can't recommend enough - if you're considering just do it!"

Jeremy J. "This is a fun bar that my friend visited over the weekend. I have always been wanting to go here. When we got to the main door, it was a five dollar cover charge which we didn't carry cash so I was like well can't go there, but he said around the back There's another entrance that is free to get into just can't come into the main club. So we went to the back had a couple drinks and watched a guy performing Tom Petty songs and different classic rock songs. It was an overall fun time that we really enjoyed."

Dave L. "Big fans of this historical building with a continuous lineup of musical talent, largely blues based. Small inside, especially with bands having 5+ members. Great neighborhood spot."

Darrell L. "We've driven past WPS for over a dozen years, and after a New Management Sign went up we decided to give it a try. We are glad we did! A good selection of beers, including some of the local breweries and a good selection of harder drinks. There's live entertainment on Friday-Sunday evenings, local talent but pretty good. The food portions are large, and tasty. The best part is that this is a true bar! You won't be run over by hordes of unsupervised children running amok!!!"
