22 Best Bars in Topeka

“I've made some amazing memories with some cool locals and love the service. Jacob Tiffany Rach Mannie & Nel are the best in town“

“We've rented out Axe and Ale for 3 or 4 years in a row now for our annual company event. Service is always great and everyone always has a great time! Thanks for a continued great experience!“

“I've only ever had their Pretzels, but that alone will keep me coming back!“

“good food and a great on tap selection, but plenty of room for improvement with service. have your bartender be a bartender, not a combination hostess waitress bartender. been sitting at the bar with an empty pint last for 10 minutes now and the bartender keeps walking by me...“

“They have great Daquaris & wish they were open more often!!“

“We stopped for the first time today. We live in the Wichita area, doing a road trip. Food was delicious, our waitress was great, the only one working, and at 3 in the afternoon they were busy!! She did a great job. We will definitely stop again.?☮?“

“The best bar. We’re in town for a wedding from AR and Lindsay WAS THE BEST! So fun and welcoming. What an accepting environments we had a blast.“

“The Music was amazing. Brice did a great job.“

“🍺😀👍 Had a lot of fun!!“

“There are two times in my life where I haven't left a tip and 11/11/25was one of them. I and two of my co-workers and 3 of my special needs.Clients went to tailgaters for lunch. They were busy which was fine. My co-worker asked if they could wipe off a table for us.The waitress response was as soon as we can. My clients were well behaved and didn't cause any trouble. Later, the waitress came to our table and asked to take our order One of my clients was playing with the menu and laughing?She proceeded to put her hand on the menu and said enough of that.I already have a crying baby.Because there was a baby crying at another table. the waitress was very disrespectful and down right mean to us. she walked by her table several times did not stop to check on us , did not refill drinks and didn't even acknowledge that we were even there. It took forever to get our tickets and once we got our tickets.My co worker said we're ready to pay but the waitress proceeded to leave the table anyway. so we had to wait even longer for her to come back and take our tickets. We told another co-worker when we got back to the facility about what happened.He was upset and called the store. but our luck, the waitress who waited on us happened to be the manager and the owner.But we're wondering if that's even true. We were downright ignored and disrespected. I understand how frustrating it is work busy and shorthanded but that is no reason to be downright mean. We will not back. My agency had Tailgators on the schedule once a month but since this horrid waitress made us feel unwelcome and treated us like an inconvenience we will not be returning. A person shows their true character by how they treat the vulnerable.“

“Great bar with great bar tenders. Where everyone knows your name.“

“Good taco bar cold beer. Prices very reasonable. 🍺🌮“

“This is the coolest bar in the entire state of Kansas. Come to this bar, Sam the onion woman and Danielle, the beautiful bartenders, will treat you like family! The vibes and the service are incredible. We and my girlfriend are from Texas And we went to every other bar in the city that was open till 2:00 a.m.
THIS IS THE BEST ONE! COME HERE AND TIP YOUR BARTENDERS 1 BILLION DOLLARS PER DRINK!“

“Warm and tasty. All good by the college.“

“I'm visiting from Wisconsin. I love bar burgers. The Shack double cheese and chili fries exceeded my expectations. Well done my friends. I'll be back!“

“I went there on a Monday night and it was a fun time! They had karaoke and that's always a blast. I'm not from the area so I just stopped in and everyone there was pretty welcoming. The bartenders were great. I went to another bar before this one just because it was closer to my hotel and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I would highly recommended this bar if you're looking for a bar with kinda that small town feel and looking for a fun time. Everyone was so laid back. If I ever end up in Topeka again I'll definitely go back.“

“Fantastic service and food. Attended a large family event the waitress and service was excellent. Food was fresh, hot and served all together. The Vikings Grille will always be my favorite.“

“The prime rib is phenomenal! Go early to find a seat because it does get busy. The bar staff is amazing and work hard to make sure your experience is great!“

“Had lunch after the Veterans Parade today and was great. Owner is very Veteran friendly as he is one as well. His staff is awesome and very friendly. Gizzards and sweet potato fries are great. Can’t wait to go back and try his BBQ. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning soon.“

“Love coming to Abigail’s after working night shift. It’s peaceful for breakfast and drinks in the morning and of course, you gotta love Penny, my favorite bartender. I can’t decide if I like the food or service better. Either way, It’s an every week thing for me. My work crew thanks you Penny for starting our morning off right.“

“Great food amazing service and good atmosphere! Overall wonderful dining experience!!! Thank u margaritas Jalisco staff!!!“

“Ordered carryout and it was awesome! The margarita chicken was warm, moist and tasty, and Chili's black beans are the best I've EVER had (but they don't need the added pico). The salsa and chips are always great. Glad they don't add a half acre of cilantro to the salsa, like some do. Thank you for a great meal!“
