Low drink prices but dirty floors broken stuff. Everything else is pretty bad. And as you can see from the owner he petty (look at responding comment), but everybody's entitled to their opinion. So for that I'll say go there if you like the live bands that are playing. But just understand this is a little bit of a downstep even from a dive bar.

Im a semi regular here when I get a night off. The bartenders get to know you and your orders without being asked. The place as a whole is so welcoming to everyone it's really a great place to hang

Great sound system for shows and karaoke, best karaoke setup in town. There’s some great local bands (psychic panda, our lives yesterday to name a few) that always deliver, and some must-see out-of-towners like Crunk Witch that come through every time they’re in the area. Shows are usually just on Friday/Saturday, with karaoke or the sporadic event the rest of the days. Karaoke setup is wonderful & there are multiple monitors displaying lyrics and usually the karaoke person is good at adjusting the mix for people too quiet/too loud. Song selection is larger than just about anywhere else. There are a few pool tables in an upper area.Service can be hit or miss depending on who’s bartender, there’s been a lot of bartenders over the years and 80% of them are absolute fantastic at their jobs though, shoutout to Brandy for always being great. There’s no food except a vending machine.Atmosphere is mostly good, if there’s a problem specifically at the bar with someone being an issue there the owners are able to deal with it swiftly, for the most part. I’ve been significantly less in the past few years than I have in the past and I’ve seen an increase in fights, however they’re usually handled pretty quickly. Cliquey crowds & poor attitudes towards assault victims from management & staff have resulted in at least two dozen regulars no longer coming or only coming sporadically. Most other bars in town likely have these issues too though.The broken down deck has been repaired, you are no longer at risk of drunkenly twisting an ankle in a hole. Door on one bathroom (without a lock) doesn’t even nudge into place in the frame anymore, but the bathrooms are no longer gendered so you can just use the other one. Not a huge amount of places to sit down, even less during shows as both indoor tables are put away and the bands usually take up the corner table with merch displays, several outdoor benches have been taken out after being broken down.It is a hole in the wall dive bar in every way, positive and negative. One of the better places for karaoke in Topeka, and host of many a great show. Know what to expect and you’ll probably have a good time.Parking: Biggish parking lot and plenty of overflow space, parking has never been an issue.Kid-friendliness: Under 21 is allowed for shows. Wouldn’t call it “kid friendly” per se but older teenagers could attend a concert without issue.Wheelchair accessibility: The entranceway has a small ramp and there are no steps except up to the pool table area.

vibes unmatched and there’s always a lot of concerts and shows, I was lucky enough to catch one of the free shows they were doing and found a new band with great music.
After looking at previous reviews,I shouldn't have wasted my time but a friend told me about a local music show here. After arriving I immediately regretted my decision. Filthy bar, I witnessed more than a few drug deals with little to no effort hiding it. Sound system is maybe the only saving grace which doesn't say much because it desperately needs some attention. The ceiling is bowed and looks like it's going to collapse, and I'm fairly certain nothing has been cleaned in the last decade. I've noticed the owners do in fact read and reply to negative reviews. So as your reaction I'd suggest focusing on what you can do make the place safe, clean, and more inviting regardless we will not be returning. Wish you the best.

No toilet paper, soap or paper towels in one of the urine smelling, unisex bathrooms. The swinging bathroom door had a huge gap and no lock, after you stumble up an unmarked slight stair to enter. At the bar you are up charged each time you use a card. Prices of the drinks are very inconsistent. I recommend getting cans becausedrinks and shots aspire to be what you pay for. The vending machine states to put your money in at your own risk. They have no problem taking the money but both the candy bar and chips got stuck and didn’t fall. In my opinion the patron’s deserve an establishment that is worthy of their hard earned money.SHAME ON YOU!!!! 30+ YEARS AND YOU STILL HAVEN’T GOT IT RIGHT!!! QUIT DEFLECTING AND ACTUALLY TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MAJOR SHORTCOMINGS. THERE ISN’T A REASON FOR YOU TO BE SO INEPT! SINCE YOU WERE IN ATTENDANCE THE NIGHT IN QUESTION!!
