An unimpressive experience all around.

The Pony Lexington falls short in every aspect. It's not a bad place, just forgettable. If you're looking for a unique experience, you might find something here, but don't expect to be wowed.

Underwhelming space with cramped parking.

90/100 SW score
Bachelor Party Bash I dragged my friends to The Pony for a bachelor party and we had an absolute blast. The lap dances were on point and the shower shows were a major highlight. We also loved that parking was free and plentiful.
70/100 SW score
A Mixed Bag I've been to The Pony a few times and it's always a mixed experience. The dancers are talented, but the atmosphere is pretty rough around the edges. The parking, however, is top-notch.
50/100 SW score
Not Impressed I stopped by The Pony on a whim and was really disappointed. The lack of alcohol service was a major bummer, and the smoking inside was overwhelming. The only redeeming quality was the free parking.
