“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.“

“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 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.“

“Great food and better atmosphere.“

“I've been going to J's for over 20 years. The bar is always a good time and safe space for LGBTQ individuals. Karaoke on Mondays is fun and can be so busy you have a hour wait, so we went to the back and played pool. 10/10 experience.“

“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!“

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

“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...“

“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.“

“Janet the waitress/bartender is awesome!!“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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! 🍸✨“

“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!“

“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“

“I absolutely love this place!! This is the first dive bar I went to when searching for one here in Wichita and I’m so glad I decided to go. I have already become a regular haha. The whole staff is absolutely amazing. I want to give a specific shoutout to Ronnie and Ryan. All the nights I’ve been there, they have taken care of and looked after me like no other. Genuinely the most attentive and caring bartenders ever. The Stop is always popping which I love and is the perfect spot to make some new friends!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Always a great time with Dr Charles Coleman! Extraordinaire hospitality encompasses more than just excellent service; it embodies warmth, attentiveness, and a genuine desire to make guests feel welcome and valued. It's about anticipating needs before they're voiced, creating memorable experiences, and fostering a sense of belonging. From the moment guests arrive to the time they depart, great hospitality leaves a lasting impression, often surpassing expectations and turning visitors into loyal advocates. See you soon!“

“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.“
