the cellar bar & grille

the cellar fits landsdowne's community. for the last few years the signature club has been trying to work in the right restaurant. first they had a members only fine dining restaurant, that didn't work. then the people who own annette's downtown took over and opened a new beach style restaurant for the public, that didn't work either. now it's the cellar, an upscale sports bar and it looks like this one will stick.

from what i've seen in the reviews and from wom, everyone has seemed to like this place. so my group wanted to give it a try and went with expectations that this would live up to their reviews. it did, the cellar hits a home run when it comes to the simple dishes you'd want at a sports bar. what makes them unique? the quality. lexington is full of chain restaurants that screw up the simplest pub food items. it'sniceto now have a place that can fix this dilemma. their beer cheese plate, spinach artichoke dip, mini brats are all good. i had the burger and fries and it was great.

along with good food is their great service and atmosphere. the employees are veryniceand the facility looks great with a huge outdoor patio. if you're trying to get away from all these crazy chain restaurants in lexington, this is aniceplace to pick.

periodically go back.... some good products and good service. ask for andi if she is there. very good server..

pretty decent lunch. started off with the triple threat dips... salsa, chili and queso. a lot of food and a good value for $7. pretty tasty as well. would have beenniceif it had been served with some house fried chips instead of bagged chips.

cup of chili was pretty generic but a good starter as well.

pastrami grill was good except for a little burnt crust and the beef and beer cheese was interesting and different. sliced beef topped with bacon and beer cheese with a pretzel bun. the twist is the bun had been deep fried. don't judge it until you have tried it... was pretty good!

discovered a new product while i was there. had mac and cheese as a side which was unremarkable until i put the queso on it. now that was good.

look forward to coming back for dinner.

veryniceplace. my family eats here often and i bring my friends here as well. great food and drinks and very reasonably priced. the staff is very good as well. looking forward to some music on the patio this summer.

veryniceand fun place, good burgers. my first dining occasion at the cellar occurred during the cats final four game. i left there with happy thoughts (about the cellar…). i wouldn't normally order anything besides drinks at a local bar. i know i can fix a better whatever they are grilling, but i had a burger anyway. i was very impressed, yeah, a burger i know, right!? but it was a perfect mid-rare, good quality ground beef fresh and hand-smashed, the toppings were good and fresh too. considering it was the busiest night anyone could imagine, i walked away full of cheap buckets of beer and a good burger in my stomach, all with very good service. i have been back since!
