One of the best bars in Wichita. Ambience is phenomenal and the staff is super friendly and helpful.
*Update September 2025: Still great after all these years. They have a newly updated menu with new drinks as well as the classics.

We had made a reservation for a table and after an hour and a half we were asked to move to the bar, yet there were at least 4-5 empty tables. The drinks were good, but they took a long time to arrive when it wasn't super busy yet. We noticed the phone rang several times and no one answered it when bartenders were standing and talking behind the bar. We ordered crab rangoons and they came out burnt, black, and stunk horribly, so we sent them back and asked for a refund.

There is no food at this bar. The atmosphere and drinks are wonderful. I'll certainly be back.

Great ambiance and drinks! Best pina colada in town!
Wes
Great atmosphere with amazing drinks! The only problem was I couldn't go back the next night.

Such a great vibe! Amazing drinks and theming. The snack platter was incredible to have while enjoying alcohol.
Excellent bang for your buck on drinks. I love that there booths encapsulate your group and feels more private. Ambience was a 10! The snack tray with that mac salad? Shut the front door! So good. Staff was cool, too. This is why it's one of my absolute favorite places to go!

I was recently visiting Wichita and had the pleasure of going to Lava & Tonic. I’ve been to tiki bars in San Diego and all over Florida and they rank with the best of them! My sister had the Jalisco Headhunter and I had the Zombie. Both were delicious! Loved the drinks, loved the decor!

What a unique discovery in Wichita. Bartender provided a unique experience with Tiki cocktails in his repertoire, great conversation, and a welcoming environment.

Fell in love with Lava & Tonic when I lived in Wichita, and now I have to swing by whenever I'm back in town. Great drinks, great food, incredible atmosphere, and top notch service. Can't ask for more!
