38 Best Bars in Wichita

“Love the atmosphere here! The food is always good. I had the Turkey & Cream Cheese sandwich and it was perfect. We always love the sweet potato tots, but many of the sides and apps are very tasty. My favorite app is the Mushroom Caps with Burnt Ends!! Definitely try the cocktails ~ if that's your thing!“

“I heard this place was cool! Fun place to meet up, excellent service. Very affordable. Staff person greeted me at the door, asked if it was my first time in and handed me a Caesar's custom t-shirt! "thanks for coming in" Had some appetizers and $10 bucket! KJ“

“My favorite bar in Wichita to have a cigar, a martini, and to watch live music all at the same time“

“Kirby's is a great little hole in the wall, with a vibrant history as a music scene hub in our community. The new owners are dedicated to inclusivity, and I'm so happy that Kirby's continues to shape future generations of artists from our city, or gigging on the road.“

“Janet the waitress/bartender is awesome!!“

“was great fun, I would do this again. staff was awesome thank you Brayden.“

“Amazing bar, consistently good shows, standard prices on drinks. No craziness--just good old fashioned fun! And old-fashioned is no joke: its nestled inbetween historic oldtown and downtown with art installations all over the alley. Open mic is the best talent in town (art or comedy). Great rock booking for bands. Could use some scarier people. ;) IYKYK“

“Awesome staff, delicious food, and fabulous parties!!! Best place in Wichita!!!“

“Wonderful first dining experience with you today. Loved the decor, service and food. We will definitely be back!“

“Mordecai is a good place to listen to live bands no problem with that.. but when the person answering the phone doesn't know when bands are playing that's the problem they're not very well informed evidently and they're not very courteous over the phone I would rate them like a 2 for PR and 5 for music...“

“Great Place all around, Very friendly staff & regulars. Indoor back room smoking area with TV's, Out side out back area. COLD draws, pool tables, old style Country music. Well worth the stopping in. Looking for a NO pressure place to chill after a long day this IS the place. I stop in when I'm in the area as much as I can.“

“Awesome place with the BEST fried chicken in Wichita. Environment is super laid back and service is only as-needed from a table kiosk. Staff is always super friendly and personable. A great space for birthday parties and events too. I highly recommend the purrinkle chicken. Prices are super reasonable (especially for the amazing quality) and drinks are delicious. Definitely a regular spot for me!“

“The margaritas are FANTASTIC. The bartender Ronnie is absolutely hilarious, his witty, snappy humor was on point the whole night. Ronnie and Ryan gave me a rundown on where to go around town for whatever I was looking for (I’m new to town) and Ronnie wrote a whole “cheat sheet” on food, bars etc all around town that he recommends!
The bar is relaxed, and there is karaoke every night. Great people watching, better drinks, fantastic people!“

“I feel like I am save there and I'm very excited about the to be a part of the audience to the bands.🤘🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎“

“Lotusflow, Dj sunshine & Zealr the absolute best!! Love 🫶🫶🫶 can’t wait to come back to brickyard. Staff are professional and personable“

“MY FAVORITE BAR! BC's Bar and Grill absolutely oozes personality. It's a low key gem with super friendly customers and staff with cheap drinks and good food.It's a place where everyone knows everyone and by the end of your night you will have likely been adopted into the family. When I walk in, my beer is either actively being poured before I order it, or it's already waiting for me when I walk up. The people I've introduced to BC's have mostly become regulars themselves.I mostly go for Karaoke and it's an awesome time, the sound is good and the environment is typically party like. Nothing crazy just everyone having an great time. I like it there so much that I had my engagement party there.BC'S is a true melting pot. My go to spot. "Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your name"“

“Very safe and accommodating bar. They offer free narcan and also bring a welcoming vibe. Bartenders are amazing (especially Josh and Lily). Definitely my go to bar 🥰💕“

“Excellent drinks, they were almost totally full tonight but we still got chairs on the patio and our drinks within 10 minutes of ordering. Loved the atmosphere, the decor, and live music by Harrison Steele made it the perfect night! What a wonderful spot!“

“I'm from out of town but always try to stop in as often as I can. The setup is cozy & relaxing to me but more importantly the staff take care of me as if I was royalty. The girls always treat me way better than I deserve & Kayla is the BEST!!!“

“Good place to have a drink and hangout“

“Biggins is a great place to come and drink. The bartenders are the best! Kaylyn is the best! I always recommend Biggins to everyone! There is so much to love here with the sports, Trivia and all of the things Sharon puts together for Biggins! Great place!“

“My girlfriend and I went there yesterday for the first time. She had a cheeseburger and fries and I tried the Crack burger and fries. Both were excellent. We will be back. The lady working the bar was awesome, very friendly and made us feel welcome!! She set the standard for great service and attitude. Great place, had that “hometown” feel.“

“Dudley’s staff have always been friendly and responsive to my requests to reserve a table. For several years I have called to reserve a table for parties of 8-12 for birthday and family gatherings. They have never failed to have our table ready and prepped as scheduled. We gather there frequently on Saturday’s for their fried tacos. They are always amazing!! Thank you to this great team!!“

“Wonderfully made cocktails and my favorite, sangria! Planning to come by again and try the wines.“

“Fun local hangout. Friendly waitstaff. Great food specials. Large selection of beverages. Sports channels. Lotto/Keno“

“We came into celebrate the passing of a good friend and Jasmine took care of our big group amazingly! She was kind, efficient and wonderful! ❤️“

“My favorite in Wichita.Google wants an update for my review. Field House is still my favorite. Leslie, John, and their staff make this wonderful place a second home to so many. Friends, family, and all those passing through are all just a conversation away from meeting new and interesting people in a down to earth, no nonsense setting where trivia, sports, and even dog shows might be on the TVs at any given point. Happy hour 3 to 6 and daily specials to boot.“

“I love the atmosphere however DJ Girl Groovin seemed fairly new to the DJ scene and needs to learn to read her crowd better“

“Great people here! Heather is an amazing bar tender and they’ve got darts!“

“Artichoke is one of my favorite Irish pubs in town! They have friendly staff in a cozy, welcoming environment. They have entertainment several nights a week from live bands to karaoke. The food is tasty and comes out quickly. The pours are healthy and the selection is bound to please aficionados. You can't miss with either Artichoke location!“

“My exes don't come here!!!“
