District 7 Social Hall — Restaurant in Lexington

Update on 4/7. Stopped in to give it a try again and will not be back. Dont waste your time here. Not a good addition to the District. The building owner should not have allowed this business to take over the breezeway, cluttering it up and making it hard for people to walk through.

We were there over the weekend with some friends. Cool looking place but that's all it has going for it. EVERYTHING is way over priced. Beer wall seemed like a good idea but I have never been to a bar that would not let you sample a beer on tap for free, not to mention the price per ounce is silly and it's all foam. The food was mediocre and not worth the price. Goodfellas or the Pub next door is the better option for food. Mini bowling costs $7 for a game but you can go to any bowling alley in town and only pay $5 or less per game. We may or may not try it again in a few months in hopes they might work out any kinks and hopefully lower the prices to a sensible price point. If not, we won't...

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you’re ever lucky enough to pull up a barstool at District 7, do yourself a favor and meet “The Professor.” This guy isn’t just a bartender—he’s a cocktail architect with a PhD in good vibes. Watching him mix a drink is like watching an artist paint or a musician compose—every pour, stir, and garnish is precise yet effortless, like a symphony in a glass.

Beyond his craft, The Professor’s personality makes you feel like you’re at a friend’s house rather than a bar. Need a laugh? He’s got a joke. Bad day? He’s got a remedy. Unsure what to drink? He’ll whip up something better than you could’ve imagined. The man’s cocktail knowledge is as deep as his charm—both refreshing and dangerously addictive.

Simply put, The Professor is the reason you’ll keep coming back to District 7. Five stars for the drinks, six...

I wanted to like this place, but it simply isn't worth the price, especially now that they charge for parking (which is just an outright scam).

I thought it was a German restaurant / bierstube, but I was mistaken. Nothing German about the menu, atmosphere, or drinks at all. Oh well.

Food was just alright. Pretzel was the best thing we got. Dessert was meh—not worth $20. Pierogies were really bland and actually a huge letdown.

Beer selection was tolerable, so was bourbon, but despite being the ONLY 2x people at the bar, getting service was a challenge. It just didn't make sense as they had at least 4x people behind the bar the entire time we were there (looked like 3x employees and a friend?) which is more than enough to handle the very small customer base.

Just not super happy with it overall. We...
