Quick service on a national holiday? Sweet! My mixed drinks are stout and they're playing good tunes on the stereo/jukebox (from Hot Chip to Jay-Z? Yes!). Good place to meet up with friends, even when it's as busy as it is right now.

We came out early to Rosebud at around ten o'clock. I usually hang out with grad students who haven't ventured far from campus. The bar has somewhat of a "dive bar" feel, and that's my style. I was able to talk and I had to place to sit. The bartender was very friendly, and provided good advice about beer and told us the history of the place. It did start to fill-up when we left, and people were trying to get to the paid section. I was confused by the two forms of ID policy. This was not enforced on us, which was good because I hate to carry a purse and only had my license on me.

Review is for the Rosebud only.... The Rosebud is old and different. The decor is unique, but the lighting is disorienting. Mix of white light on the ceiling and neon is ugly. Turn off the neon and it works. Bar top is a well worn wooden surface with a round rail. Beaten up box foot rest. Wooden floors. Padded circular stools with no back support. The bar back is where the problem begins....in the center is a drawing of an older blonde woman in a formal dress holding a rose in her teeth, all surrounded by blue neon light. Though the picture likely is loved and has historical significance, it's hideous. Combined with the yellowed (likely from when smoking in bar was legal) ceiling painted with clouds and geese with a huge angel in the center, it creates a depressing environment. Service is prompt and friendly. Other, mostly drunk, patrons are diverse. Please note it was homecoming game at UK.

My partner and I were visiting from out of town and went to Silks Lounge last Saturday. We were charged an inappropriate amount of money for a shot of Bourbon. The bar's alcohol was all set on the same shelf so it was impossible to know that the shot he ordered was going to ring up over $70. We were given no warning by the bartender. Furthermore, when we asked her to reverse the charges, she said there was nothing she could do and promised a call from the manager. The manager never called. This leaves me very suspicious of the bar's general business practices. I've filed a report with the BBB of central Kentucky in hopes that this doesn't happen to other out-of-town travelers. NOT COOL. Additionally, I researched the retail price of the bourbon he ordered and the bar's mark up was nearly 500%--this is also extremely inappropriate and unfair. I advise all travelers to stay away from Rosebuds/Silks!

Been to the Rosebud Bar on two separate trips to Lexington now and LOVE this place. It is a grimy, divey bar and I mean that as a compliment. Wonderful place to go have some beers with old friends, be really loud and play old songs on the jukebox.

Very chill spot. Always a diverse and interesting crowd. Bartenders are good folk and they know how to shake a cocktail!...don't forget to say hi to Scotty, he's a good chap!! Plus, they do a fantastic job of keeping out the rowdy cats....

I went in her early on New Years Eve (on a whim) and the bartender was great - the small crowd was friendly. I thought that this was a pretty chill spot. Prices were reasonable and I left the bartender a pretty hefty tip. I figured that I would come back later in the night. When I returned just after midnight there was a line (oh well - such is life). There was a black guy arguing with a bouncer who turned away and left with his friends. I had no idea what it was about. The two white couples in front of me entered without incident, and then the "bouncer" (I use italics because he was like 5'4" and could not do anything to save his life), stated that I (not anyone else) needed 2 forms of photo ID to enter. Then it hit me. That was what the black guy was arguing about. I know this because suddenly I was arguing to. Clearly, they wanted whites only inside and where doing what ever it took to keep blacks and latinos out. I mean really, at 1am who suddenly needs 2 forms of photo ID when at 6pm absolutely NONE were required. I am very disappointed because it started off looking like a nice place. I am sorry that the owner is too scared to let minorities in and/or is making a ton of money that he needs no other customers. Myself and a couple of friends are also filing a complaint with the Kentucky Attorney General. Take your business elsewhere.

the bartenders are a little frisky.... otherwise it's my go-to dive bar:) great atmosphere after work& crowded with the college-goers on the weekends.

Thr. 9, sparcely populated, bartender was attentive and efficient. They had stopped serving food and He even suggested a pizza place across the street and bring it back and eat it in the bar. The problem started when, apparently other bartenders showed up and I noticed another bartender give one of his comrades two shots totally free. From watching Bar Rescue, when the staff is stealing... The place sinks fast. So I left to never show up again until new management. Loud, dusty furnishings, smells of urine, cigarette smoke filling the place -- I guess part of the ambiance of a craphole. Ok, if you are already drunk. Definitely will not return. Too much competition in Lexington to put up with this place.

Dropped into the bar side on a Tuesday night. Old school feel, no question. No drink specials was a little disappointing. Bartender was a cool guy. Wasn't crowded so the helped. Comfortable spot for a late night drink.

For most of my days in Lexington this was my starting point. But my days I have taken of age and the others around me here have not
(3)Chris P.
Pretty cool spot. Fratty but decent prices and some good options. Cool vibe. Bartenders need a little work but no biggie.
(3)Lee P.
Good place to go if you are in college. For the rest of us, there are better places to go to have a drink.
(3)Jess S.
Pretty cool bar. Good location. It gets packed at the end of the night with the same people that have been going in there for years. It is def worth the $5 to go on the silks side much nicer bar.

I agree with both of the negative and positive reviews of Rosebuds, however it really depends on time of year. When UK is in session the bar is very crowded (Thurs, Fri, Sat) and you might want don your yuppie camouflage (i,e coach bag, areopostale shirt, etc.) if you want to blend in. Summertime is a completely different story, the frat party is over, the crowd is a little bit older and more manageable. I really like the bar's atmosphere and the drinks are decent. The bathroom situation can be a bit ridiculous if there is a large crowd.

For the most part rosebuds is terrible. I have been going there for years mostly because I know a lot of people who hang out there. But the bar is really bad, the lounge next door is a little better it's easier to get drinks and you have more space to move around but they charge a five dollar cover. The bouncers can be real dicks around closing and about having your drinks outside. There also tends to be a lot of fights around closing time and near the door of rosebuds. I muck prefer silks lounge next door it's part of the same bar it's just a little bit better.

So I didn't think/know this place was a restaurant, but it's a great place to sit outside on a warm summer evening watching people across the street at Cheapside where you have to pay cover for the overcrowded version of the same. The staff were always friendly, we'd usually get there early and got to know most of them after a while. It was our standard summer night thing to do and always proved a fun evening.

the Rosebud is always full of frat boys and sorostitutes-- and by full, i mean spilling out into the street. i tend to stay away from places that serve pitchers of Barardi and Coke. pitchers? seriously? wow...classy. i do have quite a crush on the taxidermied swan, so i'll occasionally pop in for a drink to stare at it and think about how i might be able to steal it someday...
