A must stop when in Wichita, similar to Springfield's notorious horseshoes the haystack is a phenomenal calorie packed monster of a dish. Get it with Classique, an excellent saison beer by Stillwater!

Daniel Bardán

Great selection of beers , try the sour beers worth every penny. Their burgers are also delicious and their portions are quite big including fries . Staff is super nice and friendly .

Leslie Caverson

Wonderful Steaks , and when you were able to smoke upstairs you could get a great cigar . You can still go up the elevator and listen to the fly traffic though, and that is still a unique experience.

Vitamin Yi

Extensive rotating tap list so come back often for seasonal selections ! Great pub style apps and burgers , try the fried mushrooms and the haystack burger

John Cassillo

Excellent craft beer list , featuring a lot of local stuff. Plus food is also delicious. Try the Midnight Marauder , for sure.

Russell Warner

Very cool local atmosphere. Not a great place to watch a game, only one TV above the bar . I'm sure there are plenty of other places for that. Wings and tacos were good.

Amel Bejtovic

Possibly the best Portabella Mushroom Burger I've had. Order without provolone , it's cheesy enough. Sweet potato fries are great too.

Scott Vinson

Great beer selection ! The pub wings are my favorite but I like the most everything here.

David Gerbino

Great selection of craft beer and awesome burgers .

Michael Grimaldi

If the food was any better here, they'd have to call it a gastropub . Try the smoked pastrami sandwich . Luscious.

Mat Buz

HELL HATH NO FURY!! also, great spot to have a nice craft beer . Wonderful selection of Imperial IPAs

Brandi Koskie

Ask for Jenna... tell her I sent you. She won't hook you up with anything, but she'll make sure you get great service.

Brent Allen

The yellow brick road sandwich . Not on menu anymore so you have to ask for it by name. Great food,atmosphere

Shane Martin

Very impressive beer selection and local grub

Brian Altschul

Great beer here and the servers are friendly enough. But they really should know something about the beer they are serving.

Alistair Young

The Wicked Cider (with cinnamon whisky ) is _really good_ .

Geoffrey Deibel

Everything is good here. Especially the beer selection . If I had started foursquare earlier, I would have been mayor months ago!

Sara Roland

Best Blackbean burger !! Fried pickles and hummus are also awesome, along with the beer selection !

Brent Mattke

You have to try there Homemade chips , there to die for!

DietsInReview

Sweet potato fries are a delicious and slightly healthier alternative to regular fries . Please avoid the calorie-packed allure of the haystack.

Noël Moore

Have the chips and French onion dip . It will change your life!

Cory

Once again another bartender that has tunnel vision with Odell and sees potential in nothing else. But I secretly think that is why I love this place

Deano

The Pulled Pork sandwich is fantastic!

Andy Tade

The whole fried okra was amazing!!

Tradebank of Wichita

Great fish and chips . Good place to pick up a copy of the coffee news.

Diana Truong

Try their hand battered chicken tenders with homemade potatoe chips and the French onion dip....Amazing!

James McArthur

Don't bother ordering the truffle fries . They changed the recipe. They are no longer amazing.

Sarah Jane Boyer

The Haystack and the Fat Kid are both fantastic

Shep ???? Sheppard

Ask for the current beer menu - way more choices then what's on the chalkboard .

Chef Bob Laughlin

Hummus , a must!

Chad Neerhof

Good food, better beer , poor service. If you're not a regular be prepared to have an empty glass in front of you

Tradebank of Wichita

G'day great fish and chips

Lindsey Susick

Switch up the Haystack burger by asking for sweet potato fries instead of regular ones.

Dave Gass

Still looking for anything on the menu that isn't amazing...

Garrett

Can't go wrong with Boulevard Smokestack Series. Tank 7, Sixth Glass.

Tradebank of Wichita

Great place to pick up your copy of Coffee News!

Monica Rothchild-Carr

Sandwiches were very dry 2nite. tomatoes were white not red, bacon couldn't even chew, pork on my husbands sandwich was dry and not enough sauce. Last time we ordered from there it was wonderful,

Terry Johnson

I crave their fried pickles - this is the best place to eat in town .

John Hadden

The Smoky Anchor Philly is to die for. Enjoy with a lighter beer

Meg Sytnick

Truffle Fries ! Nuff, said!

Derek Pinkston

Pretty much anything you get here is going to be good. Hippies use the back door.
