Great place to watch a UK game, especially an early season game when other locations will have trouble drawing a game day crowd and you are looking for that passionate atmosphere. Brisket was tender, good smoke flavor and a sweet bbq sauce with just a bit of heat. Tray came out with regular fries instead of the requested sweet potato fries but they were good and we were halfway thru them before saying, "didn't we order the sweet potato fries" so we didn't hassle the server. Plenty of TVs, good acoustics, would definitely come back again. Solid beer and bourbon selection.

It was so packed that we waited forever. Oddly there were a ton of tables not being used. Man-o-man this place was popular.

Updated: Jan 2023In town and made another visit to KSBar. As before, it didn't disappoint. We've only ever ordered their sampler appetizer and were so full we couldn't try any of their other food. So this time we decided to skip the appetizer. My husband got the bourbon burger and I got the chicken tender wrap. They were both DELICIOUS. When my husband first received his burger he said "I'm disappointed I didn't get the sampler." But then he took a bite of the burger and said "omg the bourbon sauce on this burger is so f-ing good". So there you have it, folks!My chicken tender wrap was really good - especially drizzled with ranch (because I put ranch on everything). Their beer selection is always wonderful. This place remains one of our favorites in the state of Kentucky!

Went there yesterday on game day and enjoyed the radio show happening live. Food was good, server was very friendly, quick and courteous. We ordered their burgers and the original wings with KS sauce and everything tasted fresh and swell!

I normally avoid pubs, but a group of coworkers wanted to go here for the CFP championship. The ambiance is a bar; loud, difficult to talk without yelling, and not somewhere I prefer to spend a while. Service was quick and friendly so that is a plus anyways. I ordered boneless wings and sweet potato fries. The wings, although I was very excited for them, came out mushy and barely warm. The sweet potato fries were bland and small portioned. It was probably the most under served $20 meal I have had. They get two stars for friendly service and the wing sauce at least had decent flavor.

We are visiting from Ohio. We've been on the road since 6am stopping for breakfast in Cincinnati and in Winchester to play in a baseball tournament where the real feel was over 100°. The restaurant has a large covered patio facing the parking lot. The door to the restaurant is in the rear of the patio towards the right. The server was putting us at a high top when he noticed my limp and offered us a low top. I gratefully accept and followed as he leads us to THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT. (Hello- limp!?!)We get there and its a booth because I'm supposed to use my bad leg to push myself into a huge, sticky, wooden both. I just thanked him and sat down. As I longingly looked back at the 50 or so 4-top tables near the host stand that would have been perfect for someone with a disability. But we were hot, hungry and tired so I sat and opened my very dirty menu. The person before me really loved their wing sauce and wanted to share!I started with a cup of beef chili. It was very mild and not special. I liked it but I would not order it again. My son ordered the Mozzarella Logs. Gigantic Mozzarella Sticks! These things were as large as big egg rolls. My son is an athlete. A hungry athlete. He could only eat one. Hubs and I shared one. They were really good!Hubs ordered the Bourbon Burger. The Bourbon sauce was just a sweet BBQ sauce. The burger was juicy, the bun was standard and it came with a side of house kettle chips. Nothing special. Next time he will upgrade to one of their other sides.Hubs said he would get the burger again but he wouldn't return FOR the burger. I ordered the grilled chicken salad. Kitchen sent out fried chicken. The server apologized and brought me grilled chicken. I wanted buffalo chicken. Server recommended their medium sauce. Next time I would order hot. Like the chili- their wing sauce was very mild.Service was either hot or cold. When we first arrived the server was attentive and helpful. He was MIA later when we needed him. I started this review giving it a 4 star. But as I wrote this, I remembered all of the reasons we will pick a different restaurant for our 4 day stay in Lexington.

I'd first visited KSBar a couple years ago and really liked the food. The wings especially were memorable for not being the sad greasy deep-fried stuff soaked in wing sauce. They had a nice portions option, too. You could get 4, 6, 10 count all the way up to 20. When went recently and requested 20+4, I was told the menu was wrong. When I asked for the 30 wings I had to order instead to be broken up into dry rub, Carolina, and hot buffalo, I was told there's no dry rub style, that those would come naked. (The menu was wrong again.) So we decided on Parmesan sauce on the side. The wings came out and those with buffalo sauce had barely any sauce at all. The naked wings came with a cup of melted butter with Parmesan in it. All around the wings experience was disappointing.
