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.“

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

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

“Great food and better atmosphere.“

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

“Janet the waitress/bartender is awesome!!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! 🍸✨“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“The food is always good & the servers/waitresses are all nice and do their job with humility and often a smile on their face. My only gripe is that its not a very big place and it gets very busy so it can be overstimulating as you can hear so many different people talking all at once. This may be the kind of vibe youre looking for if you are drinking and socializing with people, not if you're just wanting to sit down for a meal.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great dining experience, awesome seafood!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Good place to have a drink and hangout“

“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 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!“

“Took the family out for dinner. Place is absolutely kid friendly. Our girls’ food came out first, and looked perfect. Fruit looked completely fresh, unlike some other places we’ve been. Our kids were pretty much done eating before we got our food, but they comped us a dessert for the wait. Then, WE missed the fact that there were onions in the chicken parm, and they still took it off our bill, even after we said it wasn’t necessary!! Our waiter was a charm and so was the manager!!! Absolutely will go back!“

“I LOVE BRADLEY HES THE BEST“

“My exes don't come here!!!“

“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!!“

“We want you to bring back the Voodoo Pasta. The staff wants it back, as well. The Cajun shrimp and the chicken parm that replaced it just isn’t as good.“

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