The Jockey Bar

Met up with some friends at The Jockey Bar for dinner and a drink around 7 on a weekday-There was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor which was great as it was a nice summer night. You can order food at the table (menu is QR code) and go up to the bar for drinks. Our waitress was nice and checked in on us every so often. It was a bit difficult to get service at the bar- not because they were busy but the bartender was absent a good portion of the time- maybe because it was a slower night? The food was typical "bar food" - nothing to write home about. Their brunch specials looked good though!

Quentin at Jockey Bar may very well be one of the best bartenders in Lexington! Friendly, knows a little bit of everything, and brings the best industry knowledge. Jockey Bar has some of the best pricing downtown and is the only place serving adult beverages during the Saturday farmers market. Food is also great! Cool, friendly vibe reminiscent of Irish pubs.

It's your standard bar with great pizza. We came with some friends before a basketball game and had a good time. Lots of seating options and I think during warmer months there's more outdoor seating too.

Friendly staff with one of the only street side bars open for Saturday morning Farmers Market. Great spot to stop for a Bloody Mary, Mimosa or other tipple before or after some fresh food and market shopping.

Service was incredible. They accommodated us in our own quiet little space up on the balcony. Really awesome spot and still had food and drinks promptly. They made special requests when needed for food restrictions. Also, these car bombs of different flavors had us coming back even on other nights of the week. Cool horse racing gear around it. Will definitely check out again when back in town!

The bar and patio were nice but don't recommend the dining experience. Online ordering only and the Fish & Chips were small portions for the $18 price

Visited on a Friday night prior to a nearby event at Rupp Arena. We did not have a reservation, so we were relieved and pleased to be able to find a watering hole with quick food options. (The other venues were an hour or more waitlist and panic-inducing to make it to our event.)I had an espresso martini and my pal had a cosmopolitan equivalent and the bartender was working like a madman behind the bar to fill orders. He was up to his a$$ in crocodiles. Impressive!We ordered single patty dressed smash burgers with housemade chips and the food was hot and tasty. Ordering process is via an app at each table, which are unique and food is delivered relatively fast, and simple payment via the phone, so we had time to spare. I believe it was the owner who passed by our table several times to collect spent plates and glasses and had a pleasant Irish accent, so that was also impressive to witness hands on attention. We also had live music with a singing guitar player who was talented and provided some pleasant listening. The place has a great vibe in the bar area where we ended up, but there is also plenty of outdoor seating and another dining area with the feeling that the property goes on forever. Will plan to return if we are in the area again, as this was a small excursion from the Louisville area for us to attend an event at Rupp Arena.

Service wasn't great. Burger was less than average. The bun tasted like they simply pulled it out of a plastic bag.

I came in with a large group so I hope that explains my experience...I ordered a lemonade which tasted extremely watered down. I got a burger, medium rare but it was so over cooked, I could only eat half. My fries were very undercooked. I would recommend the fruit salad although my pineapple still included the core and order water.

Very disappointing since this was the recommended spot for "authentic" food. Cold fries, skinny cold fries, no curry sauce, "mushy peas" with non hydrated dry peas in the mix (not fun to bite down on!). Tartar sauce was basically mayo with nothing added. You order and tip through an app so it doesn't feel like you can have a conversation with a server to fix anything.
