Kick ass club! Just went & saw Anthony Gomes blues band there on 1/5/18. Great seating, friendly staff and attention detailed bartending. Excellent kitchen. As a touring musician, I have to say, the sound system or (F.O.H.) was excellent. It's located downstairs of the Hotel lobby. Loads of great parking also. Don't pass up a show or band playing there. They only "Book" the best. read more

This place always has amazing live music. They do a great job of bringing in talent to the area. The best part about this place is it's located inside of a hotel, and if you drink too much and need a place to crash, they give you a discount on your room. Thank you! read more

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.

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.

Oh my, my MY!!! I have to get stuck right in...GO lickety-split to this establishment!!…read more We went here on a Wednesday and it was luck of the draw! The interior is filled with murals representing Kansas and wonderfully done. The food a gastronomic delight...especially if you love BBQ and down-home cooking. My husband enjoyed his "Three Pigs" and the fried okra would make every southern Nanny proud! My smoked turkey was smoked and NOT laden with salt, as some that I have eaten at other places. Our server, Gabby, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! She was such a joy! So, as soon as your office or work from home is finished, gallop on down to the Brewer and see for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

The Celtic Fox Irish Pub & Restaurant

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.

My celiac son was excited to order fried pickles (dedicated fryer). They were delivered to our table by a server who wasn't our original server. After my son had eaten several, the original server ran over, shouting "Don't eat any more!" They made fresh GF pickles and took them off our bill, but this definitely ruined the meal and a fun day for a kid who just wanted a chance to feel normal. That was our first and probably only time at a place that didn't take allergies seriously even though it was advertised that way.

There are places you plan to visit, and then there are places you stumble into--the kind that feel…read morelike they've been sitting there for years, quietly daring you to notice them. Little Russia Chili Parlor is the latter. A small, out-of-the-way joint in Topeka that doesn't scream for attention--but once you walk in, it doesn't need to. The air alone tells you you're in the right place. This is Daniela's house. Not in the literal sense, but in the way that matters. She runs the place with the kind of confidence you don't fake--part host, part artist, part benevolent dictator of flavor. You don't get the sense that anything leaves that kitchen unless it meets her standard, and that standard is unapologetically high. Start with the pickles. Yeah, pickles. The kind that makes you pause mid-bite and reconsider every sad, limp grocery store version you've ever tolerated. These are spiced, alive, sharp in all the right ways--like they've got a story to tell and no patience for small talk. Then there's the baked goods coming in from Oakland's Bakery--local, honest, the kind of bread that actually tastes like grain and effort instead of air and preservatives. And then you hit the sides. The spiced pimento cheese spread isn't some afterthought--it's a statement. Smoky, a little dangerous, layered in a way that suggests someone in that kitchen understands restraint just as well as indulgence. It's the kind of thing you keep eating long after you've told yourself you're done. But let's not kid ourselves. You came here for the chili. And the chili... the chili doesn't just deliver--it recalibrates. Deep, complex, unapologetically bold. It's not trying to be trendy or Instagram-friendly. It's trying to be right. The kind of bowl that makes you slow down, lean in, and pay attention. Every spoonful feels deliberate, like it's been simmering not just for hours, but for years of trial, error, and quiet perfection. The sandwiches? Stacked, messy in the best way, built on that Oakland's Bakery foundation like someone actually cares about what bread is supposed to do--hold everything together without getting in the way. This place doesn't need hype. It doesn't need a rebrand or a marketing push. It exists in that rare space where authenticity isn't a strategy--it's just how things are done. You don't come to Little Russia Chili Parlor to be seen. You come because someone told you, quietly, "Trust me." And if you're smart, you listen.

Loved this place so much! Truly local, we found it by using the "lunch near me" function. The…read moreregulars greeted us warmly and guided us through the menu. We started with chili this time but next time we will try the sandwiches. Any place with homemade pickles wins my heart - they had three kinds. And a cracker trough made from a garden planter. And pimento cheese. Basically, it was amazing. And the chili was super tasty too.
