Paulie’s Toasted Barrel

No Longer In Business

Great location on West Main in downtown Lexington. The view at night strolling down the sidewalk to the bar is gorgeous with the lighted cascading fountains across the street at Lexington Center. The inside of the bar is spacious and has TVs, some of which are gigantic, strewn throughout. Several bourbon barrels double as table tops to add to the decor. It has a decent selection of some obscure beers, including a few offerings from Country Boy. Service is accessible and friendly. The door staff are accommodating and not your usual jackass. Prices are quite good, especially for a downtown hotspot. No food inside, but there’s a BBQ tent just outside on the sidewalk.
