I got the same beer as last time (Buffalo Sweat) and I honestly believe that this is my most favorite beer ever. And the green beans were still voted my husbands favorite food this trip. We brought more people with us this time and everyone really enjoyed it. Along with the fried green beans, we added the fried mushrooms and hummus. Both were very good. My brother got the french dip and I got the Uncle Tony. We split the sandwiches and both had a side salad. Again, I wasn't super impressed with the sandwiches (at least not to the extent of the green beans) but it was still tasty. We come to Wichita every other year. It looks like this is going to become a tradition to include a meal at the Monarch. Highly recommend!

It's fun, because you go with a…read morefriend to get a bloody mary (they're good, that's why) and they order a coffee and you're like, "WHAT? Coffee? In the afternoon?!" Or you order a coffee because you're meeting for a Marxist-Leninist discussion and someone orders one of the $2 beers and you're like, "WHAT? 2 dolla beers? That's the same price as coffee!" I wish I could tell you about the front where all the cool kids hang, or the inside where all the cool kids hang, but I'm mostly in the back where all the cool kids hang. Don't come in the back if you like to use the term "hipsters" to refer to atmosphere, because sorry my dude, you ain't a cool kid. Or maybe you are. Hipsters call other hipsters "hipsters" sometimes. I like their hummus, I hear it's from N&J's (or used to be anyway) and I THINK I got a review for them. It's probably five stars. If you're a young lady who can sit for thirty minutes at a time, WATCH OUT! Someone might sketch you. Sorry. No one has sketched me yet, but that's because I am an elusive moth who sits in the shadows... that's what I tell myself anyway. I hear if people hang out here long enough and become regulars they fall in love. So watch out for that too. People, you know, fall out of love also. If you have a friendly dog, it's probably welcome to porch sit. Staff is friendly and always watching. Be prepared to be highly amused by the standard coffee shop artwork in a bar scenario. They look different through various levels of sobriety. Also, my review is bias. You're not smart if you already figured this out. You're not dumb if you didn't. (Doing the following out of force of habit:) Fat girl in me: Give me beer, give me beer, give me bloody mary's and vodka tonics. Give me hummus too! Let's go across the street and eat some ramen. Skinny girl in me: Meet me here to go on a 40mi bike ride (coffee please) and we'll end here and have a drink before I have to ride 8 more miles home.

We were down the street at another bar and we have always wanted to check this place out…read more Positives: Live music, cool venue inside, tons of seating options, inside and outside options, decent drinks with good prices. Less positive: Door cover charge (this could have been because of the live band? Not sure if there's always a cover) $10 each, not terrible. They have drinks online that look great, but none of the bartenders knew how to make them and they seemed confused when we showed them the online menu we were ordering from. There are no menus anywhere but online. We did find food menus but no drink menus so that's why we pulled the online one. For a cocktail lounge, I assume they have mixed drinks they create beyond your traditional cocktails. So it was a bummer no one knew the menu. So we just ordered traditional cocktails. Our bartender was great all night and our drinks tasted good and the bill was low. The live band was great and there was a dance floor for some two step. Everyone seemed to be having fun and we really enjoyed our time here. We are going to come back when there isn't a live band to see how it is and if there is no cover, so I'll update my review then. Overall 8/10 experience. I think if they just had mixed drinks for cocktail lounge it would be 10/10

Had a wonderful time at my first Wichita speakeasy!…read more I'm in town visiting family, and they decided to introduce me to Dockum. And what an introduction it was. First off, this is a beautifully crafted location. Tucked away inside a rather unassuming downtown hotel, you would never imagine what's waiting for you downstairs. After crossing the lobby, we were directed to the lower level, where we had to give a secret knock to gain entry. And just like that, we were transported back in time. The atmosphere is magnificent. The intimate downstairs setting, the decor, and the overall mood give the place a personality all its own. It feels like stepping into another era, with all the charm and mystery you would expect from a speakeasy. But what makes Dockum particularly interesting is the history behind its name. In 1958, a courageous group of African American students staged a peaceful sit-in at the Dockum Drug Store lunch counter, located upstairs from where the speakeasy now sits. For nearly four weeks, these young people challenged segregation, ultimately helping bring an end to discriminatory service practices at the Dockum chain in Kansas. Think about that for a moment. Here I was, enjoying a beautifully designed speakeasy, only to discover that the building above me had been part of something far more significant than a night out. That history adds another dimension to the experience, and I appreciate that the establishment makes an effort to acknowledge it. Now, back to the drinks! Wonderfully crafted, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. I ordered The Last Word, and what made it even more memorable was the little show they put on while preparing it right at our table. I love when a cocktail becomes part of the experience rather than simply something placed in front of you by their beautiful waitstaff. The food? Good, but not great. It certainly wasn't the highlight of the evening, but it didn't take away from what made the visit special. And that's really the thing about Dockum. You're not just going downstairs to grab a drink. You're stepping into an atmosphere filled with character, enjoying a little theater, and visiting a place connected to an important chapter of Wichita's history. If you're in downtown Wichita and looking for beautifully crafted cocktails, a little mystery, and a location with a story worth knowing, Dockum is absolutely worth visiting. As for me, I already know I'll be back. After all, now that I know the secret knock, it would be a shame not to use it again.

Taking a closer look, we thought... cigar bar? Let's check it out. And I am glad we did! Mort's has such a great atmosphere! The girls working here are so cute, friendly and helpful! My partner is a cigar smoker but it was my first time. We opted for the Havana Honey, which was a smaller cigar. Our server got us all set up and that choice was pretty good! I now see the hype. They have a large drink menu but I stuck with a Michelob Ultra. We came back the next day and Sundays was $1 off drafts so we did the same thing again. The live music was great. Mort's has live music EVERY DAY! I love bars with live music and the fact that they have it every day is a reason we went back the next day. I can't wait for our next trip back to Wichita because we will definitely be heading to Mort's again!
