50 Best Bars in Wichita

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

“Amazing restaurant! Food was spectacular! I had the BBQ Mac and Cheese, and it was the best Mac and cheese I've ever had (don't tell my mom). Prices were SUPER reasonable. And only a 20 minute wait during lunch rush hour on a weekday. Also a loud establishment, so if you're looking for somewhere quiet for a date night then this is not the place. Although they have outdoor seating which may prove to be better for that reason.“

“Just had the most incredible meal. The entire vibe was so chic and minimalist, totally my aesthetic. Everything from the presentation to the flavors was just on point. It felt like dining in a little piece of art! 🎨 Definitely a must-try if you're looking for something special. ✨ #Foodie #MinimalistDesign #Delicious“

“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“

“This is an absolute gem of a dive bar and is my FAVORITE. The drinks are well priced, they have live music on Saturdays and karaoke as well. The inside can be a little loud during karaoke events, but the back patio is fenced in with western theme and is gorgeous. There is a fire pit, tons of different seating options, and it feels like a completely different vibe when you step out there. They truly treat their customers like family and are really a great little bar.“

“They are the best! Food is great and service is awesome!“

“Every time I visit, whether I see a familiar face or not, I always feel welcome. One of the most inclusive and enjoyable places left in this town where I can feel at home.“

“Great food and better atmosphere.“

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

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

“Janet the waitress/bartender is awesome!!“

“This is the epitome of a good dive bar. A little scary looking on the outside, but absolute gem on the inside. Grab a table at the back if you want to participate in karaoke, which happens every night at 8. We got there almost right at 8 on a Saturday night and had no trouble getting a table, but by 9:30 most of the seats were full. Drinks were priced great, and they had $2 jello shots as well.“

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

“I had an amazing experience at John Barleycorn's. The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and full of classic pub charm—perfect for a relaxed meal or a fun night out with friends.

The food was delicious, with a great selection of hearty pub favorites that were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The drinks were also excellent and served quickly, adding to the overall great experience.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the visit, which made the experience even better.“

“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!“

“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...“

“I took my mother there I was overly satisfied with the whole experience and the price was up there sorry for the slang is was pricey however it was so worth it overall best experience quality wise and quantity Ten Stars going back soon oh ps the taste OMG the taste was so amazing like I spent a 120 but me and my Mom couldn’t finish and we are both well seasoned seafood eaters we couldn’t finish it cause it was so much food Ten Stars Will Be Returning In Speed Light“

“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.“

“today kyle and I stopped at rhe vag for a drink after walking along the river to view the fireworks. I was nervous about the 4th, as our current political situation is not favorable, and I didn't want to be around a ton of republicans. turns out, we had a great evening, and became well acquainted with some new friends. also some girl ordered an espresso martini. it looked pretty good but stay in your lane. this is a dive bar. get over yourself and order a mystery beer like everyone else.“

“Sang karaoke , bad thing is a group of tables sit right in front on the floor by the DJ taking up space & when you try & stand there the ppl at the tables are loud & you can't hear yourself singing bc of their drunk loudness & no room for anyone to dance if they cared to . 2 stars for arrangement of the tables . Plenty of customers.
Better room at Bill & Mary's without pool tables in the singing area , karaoke has space to move“

“my favorite bar and hangout hands down the drinks are great fairly priced great selection great atmosphere and people i love it at lucky's!“

“We had a great evening with drinks and dining here at Big's. The food is great, and service is top notch! The owners, Brenda and Kim are delightful, and I highly recommend this fine establishment if passing through the Wichita KS area. Do not miss this one!“

“Flight 1868 - Neighborhood Aviation Themed Whiskey & Wine Bar is an absolute standout and a truly unique night-out experience! ✈️🥃🍷 From the moment you walk in, the aviation-inspired theme sets an unforgettable tone—creative décor, cozy lighting, and a vibe that instantly feels special.

The whiskey selection is impressive, with a wide range of smooth, bold, and interesting pours to explore. The wine list is equally well-curated, offering something for every preference. Everything is presented with care and a clear passion for quality.

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed neighborhood bar and elevated lounge, making it ideal for both casual drinks and special occasions.

Service is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, adding to the overall experience in a big way.

If you’re looking for a bar that’s not just a place to drink but a place to enjoy, explore, and remember, Flight 1868 is easily a 5-star destination! 🍸✨“

“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!!!“

“my happy place! local rooted in the folks of ICT! STOP IN HAVE A DRINK AND RELISH IN SOMETHING WITH SUBSTANCE“

“Staff and atmosphere are great along with the food and music plus drinks“

“Been a few times. The wife loves the aperol spritzes. Most recently had Alexis as our server and she was so professional and attentive!“

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

“We came in around 7:30 on a sunday with our two older kids. Everything was EXCELLENT. Our server Lindsay was great! We had pretzel bites, side salad (great house made ranch), spinach artichoke penne pasta, BLT, chicken fingers, and omg those fish and chips were top notch! Simple bar food done really well!“

“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.“

“We have been going to a nearby place for a couple years but decided to try AJ’s last night. WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Food is great, owner very personable and the bartenders are friendly. We have a new place to go. Thank you Art.“

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

“Sean and Melissa (mgr) provided an impeccable experience from beginning to end, along with the rest of the crew. I was impressed to find Yamazaki Japanese Whisky on the menu - as I had just dreamt of it, and was craving this. My custom drink turned out amazing, and Sean helped to execute my idea so that I could enjoy a whisky soda. He’s super attentive, and is what every dining guest could imagine wanting as their service provider at an upscale establishment. Although we had specifically hoped to enjoy their house prime rib, 9p din reservations proved too late and this had already run out by 7p. Great news: gives us a reason to return. Each menu selection we ordered surpassed my personal, sky high/can-be-challenging-to-please expectations: crab cakes, calamari, beet salad, burger, fries, veggies and ribeye. —— Towards the end of the night, our experience turned a bit sour — only because of another dining guest. Both Sean and Melissa approached this startlingly impolite and disrespectful guest with such class and grace - despite being inappropriately insulted. Very unfortunate — and I was so sorry to see that unfold for them. We will return to support KVH. And hope that guests like the one we witnessed never make their ways into the same room as anyone with some God-fearing self-respect again.“

“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.“

“Great dining experience, awesome seafood!“

“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! ❤️“

“Good place to have a drink and hangout“

“I just love this bar with my whole heart. They truly have the best intentions with everyone. Don’t be a problem. They’ll take the best care of you!“

“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!“

“love going on steak night. nice atmosphere, employees are awsome and most of all the food is amazing!“

“My exes don't come here!!!“

“One of the best cocktail bars in Wichita! Really creative drinks but also well-made classics. Extensive mocktail menu as well. They have food, but I haven't tried it yet (although if it's made with the care that the drinks are, I'm sure it's delicious)“

“I LOVE BRADLEY HES THE BEST“

“Lunch was fabulous!! Yummy soup and delicious salad!! Service was excellent! Already planning another meal there. Prices are very good!“

“We have been going to a nearby place for a couple years but decided to try AJ’s last night. WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Food is great, owner very personable and the bartenders are friendly. We have a new place to go. Thank you Art.“

“AMAZING place!! Great atmosphere good vibes for everyone of all ages! Amazing live music! Would be a great time for anyone that came truly one of the best places I’ve been bar wise.. we wanted to go bar hopping but stuck here. Such good vibes .. amazing live music.. when we walked in I thought it was the radio! Amazing!!“

“Great food! Great specials! Great service! Thank you to Edward and the staff! If you haven't tried it your missing out.“

“The service was incredible the people are so friendly and constantly are coming by to check on us and fill drinks and see if we need anything else the service was great. I ordered the 12 oz prime rib with green beans and baked potato. The prime rib was okay, but definitely not what I expected. It was only 5:30 in the evening, pretty early but no choices on medium rare or even medium. It was gray in color and not very flavorful. I hate to complain about it, but I was not impressed. Everything else was really good. The prime rib was tender, but it did not have the appearance I expected.“
