Ona — Restaurant in Lexington

Ever since the first time I've been here, Ona has been my go to bar in Lex. Unlike most bars it has an indie vibe that makes it seem more inviting. The staff are really nice and if you get there earlier in the day, you can have some good conversation.

The drinks run on the pricier side, but it's for a reason. Of course they serve cheap drinks like beer and basic cocktails, they even have daily deals, but their specials are why I come to drink here.

I thought in 2018 everyone would be welcome without judgement, turns out i was wrong. Bar Ona... more like Bar Oh No!!! Lose the judgement friends... be...

Super hip bar in downtown Lex, with excellent cocktails. The beer selection is fairly bottom shelf (PBR, Miller Lite, Coors Banquet, etc), which I’m fine with - but the cocktails are the way to go at Ona. We got a bourbon cocktail and a gin cocktail and both were perfect. The atmosphere and vibe is pretty hipster-y, but again, that’s something that pulled me into this bar. It’s clean, nostalgic, and all-around a good hang. If I lived in Lexington I would be...
