“I can't remember it was either June or it was. May I know it was one of those months that was our waitress's name. Not when we ate there and she was awesome, very knowledgeable, very friendly, checked on us regularly to make sure we were taken care of and the service was very awesome would recommend this place highly some good sandwiches too as well. The atmosphere is always a little crazy. But what would you expect for the downtown area?“

“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“

“I absolutely LOVE coming here! The bartenders are such wonderful people who make sure all feel welcomed. I mainly come on Monday's for karaoke, which Alli, does a great job at. The patio is theme is old west and the owner has put A Lot of time and effort into it as well as the bar. I highly recommend The Cowboy Inn. They offer food items too! They have an air fryer so it makes the unhealthy a little healthier.“

“I LOVE The Stop. The people. The atmosphere. The genuine adoration of the patrons for each other.

The crew is incredible and a customer is soooo much more than just their drink. They are valued for their story.

Fantastic place. Beautiful home away from home.“

“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.“

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

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

“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...“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“We didn't have any food here, but the drinks were good and the service was pleasant. We aren't from here but they didn't treat us any differently. The vibe is nice-n-chill. Looks like someplace I would hang out if I lived here.“

“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!“

“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! 🍸✨“

“love it here, happy and calm“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Good place to have a drink and hangout“

“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! ❤️“

“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 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!“

“My exes don't come here!!!“

“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 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!“

“Was very interested to visit the Dockum again when I was that William Flynn was playing there that night. We had dinner upstairs at the Siena, and enjoyed great cocktails at the Dockum. the music was great and service was top notch. I've always enjoyed the ambiance in the Dockum and will certainly be back again.“

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

“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.“
