Henry Clay's Public House — Restaurant in Lexington

The staff there including the bar owner Richard is fake and realize your face they put on a front to get you to spend money and then once you spend your money they push you write out the door they act like they have your back and confrontations but they don't the moment that an issue acquires not bothering if it's your fault or the other person's they push you right out the door and then they banned you for no reason their drinks are awful the band sucks and the bar is steadily going under Richard the owner of Henry Clay's likes to bring people in call them family just so he could use them he used me for many many months knowing that I had a college degree in master's degree in music brought me in said that I was part of the family had me work there for free refused to pay me all because he knew that I knew my way around the stage proceeded to promise me a spot on the stage to perform knowing that I was trying to succeed as a musician but instead of honoring his promise he proceeded to use me for free labor do not recommend going to this bar it is definitely a one out of 10 for me can't wait to see Henry Clay's...

I had a great time listening to Nicholas Jamerson, however the staff was extremely rude. I was waiting on my boyfriend to get out of the bathroom when thery were closing and the old man that works there pointed at me and yelled “Does anybody know who’s this is?” Even after I explained to him that I was waiting on my boyfriend to get out of the bathroom he was very rude. He wasn’t the one staff member that was rude either. When we were walking out the other staff members were yelling extremely rude and derogatory things at us. Even when we were standing outside of the bar waiting on our Uber outside of the bar staff members were making rude and sexual gestures towards us. Unless you enjoy being degraded, I would not recommend ever going to Henry Clay’s...

Oh let me count the ways I love the place!! Historical and beautiful ambiance, thoughtful GM, just loud enough music... When it comes to cocktails and, especially those of the bourbon variety, this place simply can not be beat. They support the local music scene but it's never clubby or too loud to hold a conversation. They also have I think about 6 taps? With a focus on craft and a larger selection in bottles and cans. Seriously, you couldn't ask much more of a bar. They even serve free popcorn which I love for snacking and keeping the place from smelling, well, like a bar. If you have the unique pleasure of being served by Richard count yourself lucky....
