Belle’s Cocktail House

The most visually (and tastefully appealing) bar in Lexington. Looks like it belongs in Nashville or Chicago with the lit-up back wall of pressed onyx. Try the Belle Brezing or Gatewood's Manhattan as cocktail recommendations. Crowd is diverse and classy. Check out the upstairs "hunt lodge" as well with leather couches and a more relaxed Lounge environment. Around 80 bourbons as well as 20 draft beers downstairs (almost half are local) and around 20 different domestic and import bottles upstairs. Monday trhu Friday is a happy hour from 4-8 (half off wine, $1 off draft beer) if you want a more intimate crowd after a long work week.
