    Nice little brewpub near our hotel. Typical garage door/picnic table terrace, but it was crazy hot out so we went inside. Service at the bar. Very good variety of beers, there were at least 20 taps, with anything from Mexican lager to Belgian triple. I had the flagship pale ale and the Berliner Weiss, both pretty good, the Berliner especially. I like the fact that you can get food from the restaurant next door, the fried catfish was great. I took a sixer of IPA to go, it's okay. Prices decent. A nice neighborhood brewpub.

    Great beer and wonderful beer tour!!! You’ll get to try multiple options on the tour and the history is great. Worth the price and the beer is great.

    spectacular. I always make a small detour here for some of the best beer in the states accompanied by some fantastic fish and chips (2 things not so easy to find accross 3 time zones). right on route between knoxville and chicago. Occasionally one comes across a bartender or barmaid who is psychic, and knows (not because your glass is empty) EXACTLY when and what you need, even if you never knew it existed. Delia (sp?) is such a barmaid. In my years coming here, it only gets better. Somehow the music is not at all annoying. West Sixth has survived the scamdemic, and without any excuses, continues to endure as an amazing micro brewery. This is a valhalla of dark beer nectar. Hats off to the brewmaster and Delia.

    Cool spot to grab a drink and watch some sports on TV. They have a good selection of items on tap. For those that do not want beer, they also have some other options available. I tried the house made Paloma, and was pleased with it.

    One of my favorite breweries! Lots of different beer options and they offer flights. We liked ALL of the beers in our flight which rarely happens. Food is available on-site from Smithtown Seafood. Tons of indoor seating along with a few outdoor patio tables available.

    Great beers, good food, pleasant atmosphere. Nice selection of home-brewed beers both on-tap and to carry out. Friendly staff and a wonderful outdoor seating space that is pet friendly. Food ordered from restaurant next door was extremely tasty and delivered right to the table. Definitely will be back next time I come to town.

    There's an amazing beer selection at West Sixth Brewing. They have their best sellers year round as well as canned and available in most liquor stores around the state but they also offer an array of drinks that you wouldn't even know existed unless you visit the brewery itself. The bar staff are super friendly and helpful to get you the right type of beer for your preferred taste. The atmosphere is typical for a bar setting, just a basic corner bar shape. The rest of the facility is inviting with tables and other comfortable sitting areas, also outside tables are available. The tables are a nice commodity since there is a Seafood restaurant inside. Where you can get a nice lunch or dinner, Smithtown Seafood if you need to look up the menu, highly recommend. Great experience, check West Sixth web page for tour times.

    One of the best breweries in Kentucky. A night in Lexington…..I couldn’t leave them off the list. Their Christmas Ale is absolutely awesome! Highly recommend.

    Stopped through on a road trip and everything about this place was 5/5. Really friendly staff and locals, very diverse selection of tasty beers and it’s connected to a fish and chips spot for some grub. They’ve got a big indoor space and open air room leading to a patio. Pet friendly 🐶 We will be back!

    Our planning team had a tour and tasting led by Tim, and I was blown away! To learn about how beer is made there, the different community involvement and activities West Sixth Brewing participates in, and ACTUALLY changing my mind about all beer tasting nasty gets this place a 5 star rating. Plus, I learned they grow their own lettuce for the food served at the restaurant next door! 🤯 Completely recommend!

    There's an amazing beer selection at West Sixth Brewing. They have their best sellers year round as well as canned and available in most liquor stores around the state but they also offer an array of drinks that you wouldn't even know existed unless you visit the brewery itself. We stopped by today and had a wonderful experience. Bar staff are super friendly and helpful to get you the right type of beer for your preferred taste. The atmosphere is typical for a bar setting, just a basic corner bar shape. The rest of the facility is inviting with tables and a couple lounge chairs set up. The tables are a nice commodity since there is a connected seafood company that works with West Sixth in their menu. Overall we had an incredible time and can't wait to come back.

    This place has such a great vibe! People were just getting ready for costumes ahead of Halloween. Dogs so plentiful and friendly. IPA was solid and I'd rank on my top ten for sure!

    Great beer! The staff are very welcoming and helpful with beer selection. This was my 1st visit and I will be back the next time I'm in Lexington.

  • 5/5 Cindy P. 11 months ago on Google
    Wonderful brewery with a very diverse offering of brews, ciders and even a cocktail! We ended up at West Sixth sort of by accident, so glad we did! Emily was great, super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Hubby and I each did a self pick tasting so we could try all the different categories! The 1906 Lager was both of our favorites so a six pack had to come home with us! The one I'd totally have again if I was sitting at the bar right now would be the Oyster one! Can't remember the whole name of it, I think it had "cowboy" in the name, but I do remember Oyster! It came with hot sauce!! The hot sauce was the clincher, totally changed the flavor and made it irresistibly savory with a wonderful back flavor!!

    Abdullah and the rest of the bartenders were amazing. They gave us a list of other great local breweries, restaurants, music venues, and hiking spots for our time in town. The beer was amazing as well! Highly recommend a visit.

    I visited the Lexington location on Tuesday. It was everything I hoped it would be. First, great Beer. 2. Customer Service was real, and excellent. 3. My construct of what a Craft Brewery should be, as far as neighborhood, architecture, and practicality was met and exceeded. Great atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Antoni G. 2 years ago on Google
    The bartenders are friendly and fun, beers are varied and tasty, and the food is ok. Place is very family friendly and it is awesome to sit outside with your pet and enjoy the say with a cold drink. The food is pretty decent, but they always seems to have some sort of problem in the kitchen. Very inconsistent. And the food runner doesn't seem to speak more than 1 word at a time.

    We ALWAYS have to stop at West Sixth when we are in town. Stopped by twice on our trip last weekend. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the beers are fantastic. Bought a shirt and some bombers to take home. We will be back next time we are in Lexington!

    I have been to numerous breweries all over the US in my lifetime, but I have NEVER been to a brewery with such an amazing staff as this place! We said we were here on vacation and the bartenders each pitched in and gave us recommendations on where to go. From hiking to food to other breweries! (which says a lot when a company recommends a competitor) The beer was fantastic, the food next door was great, and the staff made it a solid 5 star locations

    NOTE!!! This review is for Tacos and More by West 6 Chips salsa and guacamole $12 over priced and 1/2 the chips were crumbs. Salsa marginal no flavor. Definitely disappointing. Everything else at West 6 is top notch!

    Over the years I have been a regular at several establishments and I have traveled enough to be a one time or occasional patron at hundreds of bars across the country. First, the beer is great. They have a wide variety of solid old faithful recipes, but they also are not afraid to push the envelope. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly (depending on your perspective) If you are in town, I highly recommend spending some time in their taproom. I have visited Lexington, Kentucky to see my wife's family at minimum two to three times a year since 2015. During every visit, I have made a point of stopping at West Sixth. In the dozen or so visits to the brewery I have had a delightful experience every single time. Whether on my own working remotely from their bar or with my wife or in-laws, the taproom staff has been knowledgeable and struck up easy conversation as if I were a regular. The above is the mark of not only a great brewery, but a great institution.

    West Sixth Brewing was directly across the street from the Airbnb that we stayed in for our Louisville trip, this place did not disappoint. The beers were great (their Fuzzy Fields IPA is a must try - I even left with some cans to take home). Everyone was so friendly and sociable! Great little spot & in a great area.

    The beer and atmosphere were great. I ordered the fish tacos and they were ok. Based on the description I expected more flavor.
