The selection was jaw dropping, awesome. They had more craft/import beers than I have ever seen in one place before. Plus there is pleanty of wine and other alcohol if you need it.

selection was downright amazing!! service was helpful, makes the one on richmond look trashy and poorly lit. prices are good. easy to find and easy to quickly fill up a case with stuff we cant find at home. would love to return.

Very nice, new location. Close proximity to the interstate. Knew it was off the exit, but when I stopped at Shell to get gas and ask the clerk on the whereabouts he pointed up the street. As soon as I walked out the door you can see it at the end of the street. Brand new store, nice layout, very clean. Nothing I can’t find in my neighborhood or surrounding stores, but still a nice visit. Glad I stopped here on my way home, because it saved me the trip to visit this place. Super-friendly help. The gentleman that does the beer purchasing was putting product out while I was there. He talked, looked for whatever I asked for and even went upstairs to storage and grabbed some stuff that they didn’t have on the shelves. Very nice wine and specialty food section. Overall it’s a nice, clean well laid out store. If passing thru Lexington, it’s very convenient to get to. It’s worth the stop if the area has beers you can’t get.

Newer than the other locations and it shows. Beer selection is slightly smaller and less varied than the Richmond Rd. location, but more of it’s cold. This one seems to be focused more on the deli/food selection than beer (or wine/liquor) but it’s still a good place to go. The walk-in humidor at this one is larger, if you’re looking for a cigar to accompany your beer.

Selection is on par with the other Liquor Barn locations in Lexington. All beers are available as singles with no mark-up. They fill growlers at the deli. Its hard for me to judge the service, as I always know what I’m in for, and I’m friends with one of the beer guys. He always lets me know when something good comes in stock, so they treat me very well. Selection is very nice, but it may be a touch smaller than the Harrodsburg location. The shelf space for beer just seems a hair smaller here. If you are driving around Lexington on I-75, you have no excuse to not stop here. Its about 0.25-0.5 miles from the highway, directly on Man-O-War Blvd. Since this one is the furthest from where I live, I visit it infrequently
