Food service was very good. The food was good quality. Cocktails were tasty and entertainment was very good.

Well I have been a member for At least 7 years or more and when you have chicken buffet it should include chicken Breasts. It does not now! Really you have had chicken breast for years! read more

Great Service and food. It was a great space for the business meeting we had there. Can't say enough good things about the wonderful staff.

We had our annual meeting at the Candle Club and it was fantastic from start to finish. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. read more

My wife and I have had a continuous membership at the Candle for 40 years. Undet the leadership of Judah Craig, the restaurant/club has really improved and now is as good as one can find in Wichita. The steaks are wonderful and the side dishes vary. The bar service pours real drinks and they don't skimp on the liquor so watch out. No dessert compares to the Tumbleweed which is a 60 year Candle tradition. Whether a business lunch, a happy hour gathering of friends, a special event or a private gathering, the Candle is our country club without the pool and golf course. The evening entertainment is fun and varied. Good bands and vocalists. A fine place for good food and fun. Rod Stewart read more

This is a really great club! It has the feel of an old 1960's jazz club but with modern emanates. When going for lunch you can easily have a conversation without shouting. Dinner is a little more crowded but the noise level is still not overwhelming. The service is very good and the food is top notch. Since it is a private club you can have a martini and light up your favorite cigar in the lounge. Live entertainment is provided most evenings and the bands are very good. I always have a good time here and I like taking friends as this place just has a nice atmosphere. read more

Candle Club - Kentucky Derby Party! - Lounges Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Very unsatisfied with evening menu. Whoever is managing the dinner menu should rethink what they offer. Prime rib sandwiches are not available in the evening. That's ridiculous. It WAS one of the best things on the menu. Evening manager very rude. Wait staff very accommodating however. read more

My parents recently joined the Candle Club so I got to be my dad's guest last night. One of Wichita's oldest and most well-kept secrets, this is a private, members-only club which gives the whole experience an air of exclusivity that makes going to the Candle Club special. One of my biggest complaints about Wichita diners is how early they eat their evening meal. Yet here we were at 6 p.m. trying to eat before a 7 p.m. event, and the dining room was empty. The hostess walked back and forth reserving tables for future members, so I knew the room would eventually be packed. This is my kind of (virtual, since they weren't there yet) crowd. I had the Beef Carpaccio salad ($13) with a side of Roasted Fingerling Potatoes ($3), and a glass of Rosenblum Zinfandel ($7). The thinly sliced tenderloin was not raw as I had expected, but seared very rare, and displayed around the outer rim of the plate. In the middle sat a pile of baby spinach tossed lightly with shredded parmesan and capers in truffle oil and garnished with a lemon. The flavors together were very light and uncomplicated. Just the right amount of tart and salt with the beef. Dad had the Calf Liver and Onions with a salt-crusted baked potato and creamed spinach ($15). Organs aren't my thing, but the texture was nice and the flavors of the caramelized onion with the savory gravy and crispy breading were a nice medley. I couldn't get past the iron mineral flavor of the liver, but it was liver. You can't get around it. Ambience was straight out of a Good Ol Boys lounge from the 70's. Gold-frosted mirrored walls, burgundy leather chairs, rich old dudes smoking cigarettes... It made me miss my great grandpa Pop, who lived into his mid-80's and was a member of the Candle Club for decades. There is no other place in town like the Candle Club. Sometimes it seems a little puffed up and ridiculous to think of an exclusive members-only dinner club, but I have to admit I'd be genuinely sad if it ever went away. Definitely worth the experience! read more

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Wow. This is a step back in time. I felt like I was in the night club from Goodfellas. The interior (which has recently been redone) captures its lounge club feeling of the decades past. The food was good, the bartender friendly, and the crowd that attended was what made it amazing. If you love people watching...this is your bar. It was Karaoke night and the performers were out that night. These people had songs they had rehearsed and it was amazing. This was not your typical blurt out a drunken song...this was like seeing a cabaret. Seriously...everyone was great. There were cowboys dressed in their best jeans, divas in full mink coats, the 40+ crowd having their after work drinks, and EVERYONE was smoking. I had a blast, laughed all night, had some great conversations, and will go back again. I felt like a schmuck for not wearing a collared shirt or checking my coat...you don't have to...but I felt like the outsider. read more

The waitstaff treats all guests like family, the food is good. They have trivia on Wednesday's and themes and specials that change things up. read more

So when you first walk in, big whiff of smoke instantly. I wish I had known that prior to signing up for an event at the place because I am highly sensitive to the smell of smoke with my allergies. Luckily, our group was in a back room that was not as potently strong as the main dining area. I was overall really dissatisfied with the service at the club. We ordered food at 6:15 to eat dinner before our private event started and food around at 7:05 pm. I asked the bartender who was also our server where the food was and she said I am not supposed to get it the kitchen will bring it out when they have time. I ordered well before to everyone else came to join in on the private event. In addition, I unwrapped my silverware so I had my napkin on the table and the server took my silverware and I said oh that is clean can I have it back? She said she would bring me replacement back shortly and well that never came. I had to ask for replacement after getting up out of my seat looking for the server. After food finally arrived It sat at the bar for a bit before it was actually served, if I was able to easily move from my crammed spot I would have. I then had to wave the server down to bring the food over because I was starving, along with my friends who ordered meals as well at the same time. We weren't checked up on at all and I had to keep standing up to go talk to the server to ask for items for the meal. In addition, I had to take my plate back up to the bar after eating it on my lap because of how late it arrived. I was not happy gratuity was forced on my meal because I was not exactly sure what our server did to earn it. The dish I ordered was really good, a pasta chicken fettuccini dish. My meal also came with a side salad. My suggestion is they could expand their side salad topping options, but they did have a large selection of dressings that were good! I would order it again, but I don't plan on returning here after my bad severing experience the whole night. read more

I had been going to the Candle Club for years in the 80's and 90's. At one time we lived next door to the Werts so I was always welcome. We have since moved and live in Dallas. My husband and my daughter planned a surprise birthday party for me at the Candle Club. The service was outstanding. My daughter was stressed with putting it all together and Lafonz and Devon recognized this and took over and got everything all set up for her. Lexie the waitress was also excellent. The food was good and all of the guests were treated respectfully. It was nice to have a private room because we had a large group. The club looks great and has maintained the wonderful atmosphere. I want to thank everyone for a wonderful evening. In addition the band was great and we enjoyed dancing. read more

I'm so happy the Candle Club has changed. The remodel looks great and I can see a difference in the staff. The morale is 1000 times better and it shows. Great entertainment and the drinks are outstanding. read more

This place is so much fun. There is upscale food in a unique "speakeasy" type atmosphere. They are constantly hosting activities and themed nights. The membership is very affordable and worth every penny. We have also used their private rooms for parties. FREE for members. Everyone had a great time. read more

I was Very disappointed this afternoon. I checked your web site and was looking for the holiday hours for today..The web site says open from 11am-3pm...then open from 4pm-9pm...I called a lyft driver and went to the club at just before 5pm...CLOSED! I then had to pay to go right back home...was looking forward to seeing some friends for a cocktail.. read more

Never knew this place was here. Got invited for a fashion show luncheon. Nice staff, decent food.

Our daughter had her wedding rehearsal dinner at The Candle Club. The service was the best and the food was wonderful! They were so good to us making sure everyone's needs were met. It was a great experience! We are definitely having our next get together there again!! Super nice staff! read more

I had experienced this club over 10 years ago, and didn't really remember much, it was a dinner party, I do remember that the food was good back then. I went again recently just to check out the band that was playing. The place was exactly what I expected... keep in mind, my grandmother worked there 50 years ago. The worst part of the club was the smoke. The experience was entertaining at the least... wow! All age groups, mostly all smoking. The dance floor is located off to the side of the band stage (very awkward). I believe it has loyal regulars... I actually saw someone there that was there the last time I happened to be there! read more

This place simply rules. Great food, awesome atmosphere (70's lounge) Cool entertainers like Elvis impersonators, Beatles tribute bands, etc. You have to be a member to enter, but if you get in it's worth it. Met the owner, he and his wife were very nice to us and sat down and chatted. They even bought us a couple of drinks. read more
