What customers say?

“ Fun atmosphere, great food, a little slow on the service. Live music was fun, food was surprisingly very high quality, didn’t expect that, I’d go back! ”

“ Came in on a quiet Thursday night in the cold stretch of winter. Great apps and burgers, delicious sweet tea, and fantastic service. Will be back for the patio in the summer. ”

- Joshua Ward -

“ The food was SO good. I have been dying to try the tacos and they exceeded all expectations. The chips, salsa, and queso were also very good. The ladies behind the bar were so nice and the owner was super friendly, too. ”

“ What a great little place to hang out and relax! My daughter heard about this place and it is coincidentally just a few blocks away from her house. There is a full bar and a small but good menu. We ordered the Chips and Queso as a starter and My daughter ordered some Vegetable Nachos and I ordered the Meat Pizza. First of all the portions are enormous so for two people this was way too much food each of these was easily good for 2 people each meaning we bought enough food for 6 (pictured below). Prices are more than fair and again each was good for 2. The feel of the place is also very comforting with great service. This is a place I highly recommend and will definitely be back! ”

- Mike Terry -

“ This is the best bar in Nicholasville! Great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic drinks. They’ve been open for 3 years and it’s the cleanest bar I’ve ever been in. You could eat off the floor of this place. Fresh ingredients! They have a brunch menu, which I haven’t tried yet, but I will be back this weekend! ”

- Sarah-James Sendor -

“ Always a pleasure, such a happy and friendly place! #visitjessamine ”

- Carmen Treadway -

“ This place is my absolute favorite brunch in Nicholasville. Outdoor seating and indoor seating. The food is great and the service is awesome. Mimosas are always great too. This place is the best kept secret in town. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. ”

- T.j. Kidwell -

“ Ok the food was pretty good—- the BLT was on a smashed hamburger bun, which was a surprisingly delicious way to serve it! My kentucky mule was tasty as well— had to get one while in KY! The lighting was a little harsh, a little bright, but other than that it was a great quick dinner spot for us. ”
