Had the best experience here! I found this establishment on TikTok and made it a must stop during my visit to Lexington. I sat at the bar where Rusty provided amazing drink suggestions and great conversation. The venue was beyond unique and didn’t lack luster at all! I will definitely be back the next time I visit Lexington. Every detail down to the ice in my drink was stunning.

We were looking for a local bookstore and found this place on Google. While they don’t actually sell books, we were not disappointed! You browse their collection of vintage books while you wait and then someone takes you to the back. It’s an absolutely beautiful space with fun music and a great drink selection. I got one of the NA options (Targaryen Breath) and it was incredible. We loved it and will definitely be back next time we’re in Lexington!
