Old North Bar 101 West Loudon Avenue, Lexington, KY 40508

"I got a cheeseburger and fries from here through Door Dash and had no clue if it was going to be good or not because I had never ate here. I am more than satisfied with the quality and the quantity. The burger was thick and juicy with just the right amount of toppings. The fries was cooked just right and fresh. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The prices are reasonable also. I got to say that this may of been the best burger I have ever ate."

"First of all, GREAT tequila selection and their seasonal cocktail menu is always on point. The kitchen is finally open and it was worth the wait. By far one of the best burgers in town and the cuban is to die for. If you're a wing person, I highly recommend ordering them "Wes's Way" (dry rub & sauce) and you can never go wrong with the loaded tots either. There's also plenty happening at Old North whether it's live music, trivia, yoga, or the monthly block party. This establishment is worth the drive across town for me."

"I recently had my wedding at The Clerestory at Greyline. One of the requirements when booking this space is you must use Old North Bar as your bar/alcohol providers. Wes, the owner, was who I communicated from the beginning and he was attentive and thorough, nice/easy enough to work with. The day of my wedding, he was behind the pre-set bar. My photographer wanted to take a photo of my groom and I standing in front of the venue cheers-ing. She asked him if he could make us 2 cocktails and he said "service doesn't start until 6 pm." It was around 4:45 and ceremony started at 5:30 with cocktail hour starting at 6; no other guests were present at the time of the request. Our Photographer told him it was just for the bride and groom for a photo moment. He continued to be very rude about it but eventually, reluctantly, provided us with a basic vodka and soda. It was disappointing that he was rude and did not even want to give the bride and groom a drink after we had paid him over $5k for his services. We also had asked previously if we could bring our own champagne for this very moment and he said no. So he wouldn't let us bring our own but didn't want to give us anything either. We had an open bar ($26 per person) but wanted to add espresso martinis as a signature drink. They were an additional $9 each. I felt this was a little steep initially but really wanted the cocktail which I felt would add some elegance to the bar. And really at a restaurant they would be this much anyway, so we paid the extra. On wedding day I was so disappointed to see and try the drink. They were terrible!! It was like they had taken pre-batched cold brew (like the Stok brand or Starbucks ones you can buy at the grocery) and just added vodka. No espresso, no froth, no kahlua, not shaken over ice. They were pathetic and a huge waste of money. These were vodka/iced coffee cocktails NOT espresso martinis. The final thing is mainly about the bartenders. Prior to the wedding during mine and Wes' discussions, I had asked if I provided drink stirers and cocktail tags if we could use them. I was told yes. I purchased floaters for the espresso martinis, stirers for the cocktails, and tags for the wine/champagne. The bartenders did not use these despite multiple reminders throughout the night from myself and my wedding planner. The second time they were asked, they rolled their eyes and said "you want us to put that in EVERY martini?" It would take less than 5 seconds. They proceeded not to use them. We also had a basket of Koozies that we asked for them to replenish if the supply got low. Multiple guests afterwards told us there were none in the basket and when they asked the bartenders, they were told they were out. However, that night we were sent home with a box FULL of koozies. I have hundreds of dollars worth of bar stuff that is now useless because the bartenders couldn't be bothered. I am VERY disappointed in the overall service of Old North Bar and Wes. I do NOT recommend using them for anything. Everything else about the Clerestory was wonderful and it is really a shame that Old North is the only business you can partner with."

"I've been coming here for years, but now the extra food makes it the perfect place for lunch or to hang out. The Buffalo sauce is AWESOME. Made in house, spicy but not awful hot and great flavor vs heat."

"Great spot! Arrived around 6 on a Saturday evening. The crowd hadn’t arrived, so we had our pick of seats. The owner Wes was a solid dude and took the time to show us around. The open concept kitchen looks great and food will be served in the near future. If you’re looking for a new place to mix it up with friends. I highly recommend this place. Old North Bar will make it into my rotation for sure."
