Cheapside Bar & Grill

Cheapside Bar & Grill (131 Cheapside) is a downtown Lexington bar and restaurant. It's more relaxed and quiet than some of the neighboring bar & grills. It's an attractive, expansive place inside. The food, drink, and service qualities are reasonable. Pricing is sensible and the staffers are friendly. Cheapside noise and crowding doesn't go to extremes. There is an elevated outdoor deck that offers a view of part of downtown. The average crowd is a little older than what you find at other nearby bar & grills. Drinking hours are Monday through Friday, 11:30 am to 2:30 am, and Saturday - Sunday 11 am to 2:30 am. Pros: relaxed atmosphere Cons: visibility more

I've read the other reviews, and obviously they should be going to applebees or fridays. There they'll find all of the consumerist comforts Wal-mart has taught them to expect. Cheapside is an excellent establishment. They bring in some of the greatest bands in town, and they're drinks are great. Space is a bit limited, but that problem is quickly solved in warmer weather. They have heaters on the patio, and unless your a comlete prince or princess you should be plenty comfortable during most of the year. They use real seasoning in their food so there's actual flavor. Which sets it leaps above other "more-easily-accessible" establishments. Cheapside is a great place. Its my personal preference, if I'm looking for tunage on most any night of the week. I say if you're a music lover give it a chance. You won't be dissapointed. Pros: Music, Atmosphere, Location Cons: Space more

The atmosphere at cheapside is good on a summer day, the drinks are alright, but that's about all it's got going for it. Our service sucked, food came out cold after a good 30-45 minute wait, didn't taste good, didn't come with the silverware required to eat it, and my drink order was wrong. At least 2 tables close to ours were all complaining likewise. I'm usually a very understanding person, but i would never go back to cheapside for anything other than a quick drink off peak hours. Pros: nice outside patio Cons: the food more

My husband and I went there with a group of friends and a couple of kids. The place wasn't set up for large parties nor children. The drinks sucked and the food wasn't spectacular. My time and money would have been better spent at Applebees! Cons: Parking, Lack of Seating, Not Kid Friendly more

Cheapsides is THE place to see and be seen in Lexington! The bar inside offers a cozy atmosphere and the bands are terrific. And when the band begins a-rockin'- (especially August Christopher!) - get ready to party! Or you can choose to dine in the glass-enclosed restaurant or head outside to the two bars located on the patio or the balcony - which overlooks the Cheapside crowd and city. There is so much to offer in downtown Lexington - and Cheapsides is a perfect spot to either begin or finish a night on the town. more

Cheapside Bar and Grill in Lexington, Ky. is a pretentious dining and drinking dive for the stuck-up snob wannabe in all of us. Their food is decent, which is more than I can say for their staff, especially the bartenders. Never did I see any of them smile. They never said thank you, or acted like they cared if you spent your money there. The stage is very small, and getting comfortable in Cheapside means going outside and standing on the street. Don't spend your money at Cheapside Bar and Grill in Lexington, Ky. Pros: generally no cover, worth it Cons: staff is rude, takes too long, overpriced more
