In the building that formerly housed La Finca, the Lexington is an unexpectedly handsome place. Many punters head here for the first-floor music venue, which stages an assortment of indie-ish bands and club nights. But the ground-floor bar is open to all (you only need to pay an admission fee if you go upstairs), and is worth a look.
There's little pretence at intimacy: this is basically a big, tall corner room with bells on (plush lampshades, heavy red curtains). The main selling point is the array of American drinks: beers include flavourful brews from the likes of Goose Island in Chicago and the Brooklyn Brewery (in addition to closer-to-home Camden Wheat Beer), and the array of rare American whiskeys (including 43 bourbons) is, if anything, even more tempting. Food options include po'boys, alongside fish 'n' chips and pork katsu.
The clientele consists chiefly of people taking a break from the show above, preferring the appetising jukebox to the presumably avoidable support bands.
