Cocktails Bar and Grill

Cocktails is Lexington's version of Cheers, a bar filled with regulars, where your drink is waiting on the bar in the time it takes you to walk up from the front door. There's a very close knit relationship between the staff and the regulars, most of whom have been working here for years and years. The owner has installed some significant upgrades to the A/V setup since taking over, making it a great place to watch sports.

There's a full menu, which is actually quite good for "bar food." It also has some of the strongest, cheapest drinks in town. If you're used to a Jack and Coke being a 50/50 mix or less, you might be in for a surprise. Mixers are splashed in as an afterthought, so order accordingly.

There's live music every Friday night, and as is fitting for a bar filled with regulars, it's been the same band for years. Tuesday nights feature karaoke, which often draws a huge crowd. Late at night, it tends to fill up with service industry folk from Hamburg, so if you leave another bar and head here, you might just end up bumping elbows with your bartender that just got off work.

This place kinda sucks. I did like the tv's and the band that was playing but other than that? It was horribly unorganized with a crappy selection of booze. An overly sweet LIT was given to me and the service was nice yet really slow considering how many people they had behind the bar. No bueno. Prices were fair though. Also there were seats out front but on a nice night like when I was there, I couldn't even go out there and enjoy it without having to leave a drink which is always sketchy. Oh well...

A nice little bar and grill tucked away in a strip plaza.  They have HD TV's, video games and dart boards with live music every Friday night.  Food is good and the prices are right.  Good place to hang out with friends.
