I don't usually leave reviews, but my experience at this bar was so bizarre and uncomfortable that…read moreI feel like I owe it to other patrons to share. I came in with a couple of friends on a Wednesday night. It wasn't overly busy, but service was slow from the beginning. We waited nearly 15 minutes before someone even acknowledged us, and when we finally got drinks, two of the three were made incorrectly. No big deal -- we politely asked if they could be remade. The bartender (who we later found out was the owner) acted like we were personally insulting him by mentioning it. He rolled his eyes, muttered something under his breath, and walked away without saying anything. Five minutes later, he came back and slammed the corrected drinks down without a word. We were still trying to brush it off and enjoy the night, but it got worse. At one point, another group came in and was clearly friends with the owner -- suddenly they were getting all the attention, even being allowed to play their own music over the speakers. The vibe of the whole bar changed, and we felt totally pushed out. When I asked if it was possible to put in a song request like they did, the owner told me (verbatim): "This isn't a jukebox, sweetheart. Maybe try Applebee's." We left shortly after. I've never been treated so condescendingly by someone running a business. The owner seemed more interested in showing off for his friends than running a bar. No atmosphere, rude service, and a complete lack of professionalism. If you want to pay premium prices to be ignored and disrespected, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend literally any other bar in Lawrence.

The interior is pretty small but they do have some seating outside-front and back. The service was good. I ordered the House Gimlet: cucumber infused gin, rosemary, orange blossom, and lime. This drink was so refreshing. It's a great drink for spring and summer. I highly recommend this drink! My boyfriend tried the Fugue State: Old overholt rye, bigallet China-china, tiki bitters, Lambrusco, and orange peel. He liked it and said it was like an old fashioned. It wasn't too strong and was really sweet. They had lots of other good sounding cocktails. I'll definitely stop by in the future.

If you know me, I'm a sauce girl through and through, and this place fuels my sauce passion. With the fries, they serve a sauce flight and they are all stellar! I got the double Dempsey burger and man was that juicy!!! A classic double cheeseburger. Dempsey's, this is my love letter to you. Keep up the good work.

Our service was quick and friendly. Unfortunately, we were not as impressed by the food. We both ordered the Thai PBB burger, which is described on the menu as "House made thai peanut butter sauce, bacon, pineapple chutney, sriracha aioli." However, this burger came covered in cranberries, which added an odd Thanksgiving juxtaposition to the Thai theme. Our fries were very good, and we received a huge bowl of them with various sauces. Maybe we just got unlucky with our burgers and I would be open to giving this restaurant another try.

The drinks are strong but creative and delicious. No food served just snacks like peanuts and such. We ordered 2 rounds: French no. 5 - their take on a French 75. A spritz of Chanel no.5 is attached to the drink. Grandma's Gun is hot and strong mulled wine. And finally we had the No Blood Only Lipstick which was the most expensive drink on the menu but worth every sip. The service is wonderful! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Gender neutral restrooms. While the drinks are spendy, it's definitely worth the experience. If in Lawrence it's worth a stop.

The side of coleslaw portion is ridiculous. I ordered 4 burgers with 4 sides and a basket of onion rings. I was told 15 minutes . I called at 6:32pm and i just received my order at 7:17 pm. My "basket" of onion rings was not in the order so waited extra time and I have attached a photo. Basically it was $1 an onion ring.

Our waitress was fantastic too: attentive, friendly, on top of everything all night. Where it fell apart was the patio. We were dealing with flies the entire meal -- I mentioned it more than once, and the response was basically 'yeah, we should probably do something about that.' This isn't a cheap night out, and for those prices, that's not acceptable. It's a fixable problem and it wasn't being taken seriously. Food, drinks, and service inside were all a clear win. Management needs to get the patio pest situation under control -- it undercut what would've otherwise been a great night out.

Professional and helpful with menu. bar: It's a brewery and they have broad selection of house beer styles: lagers, wheat, porter, and IPAs. I drank their Skyz the Limit American IPA ($6.50 as of May 2026) and thought it was fine. food: wide ranging menu from flatbreads to plated entrees. There are lots of daily lunch, dinner, and happy hour specials. I had a classic burger with fries and it was OK ($17). My wife had a taco salad with shredded chicken and ground beef on the side and it was also OK ($12, since it was the daily special). details: Dramatic, soaring space with lots of signage.
