If you are paying by card they up charge you each time. Prices of the drinks are very inconsistent. The vending machine states to put your money in at your own risk. They have no problem taking the money but both the candy bar and chips got stuck and didn't fall. In my opinion the patron's deserve an establishment that is worthy of their hard earned money.

Well, as a visitor to Topeka a bartender from another bar suggested it to me and a friend. After…read morewe left he must of had a good laugh. This is a very dark social clique that if you aren't wearing all black, have at minimum 12 tattoos and 6 piercings you might stick out. Non the less we made our way to the bar after talking our way out of a $20 cover charge for a no name performer. Under the guise of we were only going to have one beer and use the bathroom. I have to admit atmosphere was respectful and bartender seemed amused we were brave enough to even be there. We had our beers, a few laughs with the bartender listened to some local talent opener dj's and then on our way. In my day this group were known as goth, today it's Emo. Bottom line we're all people and with a little mutual respect and humor, it's all good. Enjoy. Humanity shouldn't need a disclaimer, just be a good person. Cheers.

I have only ever had AMAZING experiences here. The staff is always incredibly friendly, and the…read moreservice itself is always spot on. In fact, I've never had issues with service and I've been there probably a dozen times in the past couple years at least. The food is so good (love the pretzel and beer cheese!) the meat in the dishes is always way more than you'd think, and the prices are also very reasonable for what you get. Honestly, probably undercharged a little. My husband and I even used them to cater our wedding a the food was phenomenal as always. The burnt ends were so freaking good! As for the food itself, AMAZING! Never had an issue with it, the quality is reliably consistent and haven't yet found something to dislike about it. The ambience is always nice and relaxed on a typical day. There is plenty of space and room for tables, so it never feels crowded. I think we've been there once on a game day, and it wasn't obnoxious or loud then either (like other bars get to be). Beautiful decor and art all around. It feels very welcoming and homey. If you're stopping through, this is probably the #1 place to go! Cannot recommend enough. I always recommend Iron Rail Brewing to friends and family who are stopping through too. *tip: because it is downtime, parking can be a little tricky at times, but there are usually a couple side streets with a few spots available.

Glad we stopped in on our way through Topeka…read more It's a perfect place to meet up with family as you travel through their state. Food and drink were tasty and our table of people with strong opinions about the food they consume was happy with all that was ordered. I recommend the French Philly. I also heard the fish and chips were pretty awesome too. A member of our party forgot to pick up their credit card and when we went back to get it they had it for us. This little pub is now on our list of places to stop when we drive through Topeka.

The cheese sauce paired with the cheese on top made it difficult to eat and overly rich with nothing to cut the creaminess. It just felt like it needs some acidity maybe or even some tang from a bit of white wine or Dijon mustard. I would not go back. The soda tasted fine, so I suppose they clean their taps often enough . Service 3/5 The service was a slow but the bartender/ waitress was nice and knowledgeable about the menu and local activities. Ambiance 4/5 The bar has a really chill vibe and if it wasn't for the food, I would probably go back for that alone as it felt like an Irish pub should feel.
