Food runners and hosts were all polite and professional. bar: I drank their East Side IPA and it is a great session beer ($6 as of 04/2026). Have also had their 'lectric IPA and it's a fantastic West Coast style IPA. food: My wife had a single Lawrence Beer Company burger ($15) and a cup of chili as her side ($1 upcharge, instead of fries or salad). It is a smash burger with bacon, cheese, and all the usual toppings. I had Turkey Club with waffle fries ($15). It's served on awesome Texas Toast. details: Indoor seating, outdoor seating, and private spaces. Plenty of surface parking in city out back, right off Delaware. Open, bright, and inviting interior.

Hands down my favorite brewery in Topeka. Not only are the names for the beers phenomenal, but the…read moreflavors they bring to the table are just as impressive! With a wide variety of fun & funky there's no going wrong here. The logo and theme is magnificent and those working here are even better. What an overall lovely location. If I'm ever in Topeka again I'll be sure to stop by!

Great new addition to Topeka's beer scene. "nano" only seems to be the batch size - great selection…read moreof fresh beers and the space is great. Nice patio outside too. With all small batch beers they seem to do really cool experimental beer alongside typical ones. Good variety!

Dusty and Melody are a mix of hard work, talent, and passion that makes this brewery a must see!! If you're Anywhere in the area stop in or if you're a local business reach out about their keg services! Let's help this small gem become a pillar of Ottawa!!

Three words: Chocolate Milk Stout. It is out of this world. I have been to this small brewery twice…read morenow. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It has a great variety of styles of beer. Any of their milkshake IPA's are wonderful. The place itself is very welcoming. The staff is great. They keep a very up-to-date Facebook page for new beers, live music, etc. I know it's a bit of a jaunt but going down to Ottawa, KS is worth it for this place! Cheers!

I absolutely love the brewery's minimalist style…read more The room's long open layout encourages socialization. If you play your cards right, you might make a new friend or two. I love the theme nights. Music bingo on Thursdays is my favorite. I haven't attended yet, but the Sporting Kansas City, KC Current and Formula One watch parties look fun. A variety of beers are available on tap. They usually include a few year-round options and a couple of seasonal options. Canned beer - some that isn't available on tap - is available to go. Food isn't cooked on site, however food trucks are parked outside during busier events. You might check with the brewery if you want to bring snacks.

This is a spacious bar with a variety of beers and other drinks to choose from. Last night I had…read morethe Koala Berry Wheat, and I loved it. Fruited wheats are my favorite type of beers and it seems like they are a dying breed. The service was prompt and friendly, there are two bars that you can order from. I love that the water was self serve and it was ice cold. A group of us took up the outside deck which was very nice, though a little chilly from the breeze. Inside there is a large projector to watch sports games, and another smaller room where they were having a bingo event. It's a great place with a variety of areas to sit and hang out.

Yes!! Yummy beers and great selection too. Ambience is killer. I went in for one of their Drink &…read moreThinks and I love this. Nothing better than learning about something to really make you think so then when you're a little bit lit, you can have some very deep conversations with friends afterwards. I will be back.

This review is for late lunch for three at high top table on a Saturday in mid-December…read more service: I think our server was Sammie. Hope I got that right because she did a fantastic job. Great menu recommendations, solid knowledge of the beers, and good balance of checking on us but giving us time to talk. bar: I drank the Hopular Sovereignty ($6 as of 12/2023) which is a solid, West Coast IPA. Not as bitter and citrusy as some, but still a very well executed version of that style. That said, with their tap list, there's a beer style for every person. Appears to be full service bar with cocktails also. food: We started onion rings ($9) and they were great. Clearly house made. I had the bacon burger ($9) with tots. Especially for the price since it was the daily special, this is an awesome burger. My wife had the turkey club ($14) with beans. The sandwich is a real slice of turkey breast! It was incredibly good and the beans were great. Another person had soup of the day, broccoli cheddar ($8 for bowl), and reported it was good. Details: Lots of surface parking outside. There are also outside tables when the weather is better. Plenty of TVs with sports behind the bar. An incredibly long bar with dozens of seats. Bright, open space with high ceilings.

We stopped by with a party of six and had a very disappointing experience before we were even…read moreseated. The gentleman who initially greeted us was friendly, welcoming, and working to find us a table. While he was doing that, an older blonde woman came to the hostess stand, asked if we were with the baseball team already seated, and when we said no, immediately told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait for food because there were only two people working. It felt less like setting expectations and more like she was trying to discourage us from staying. When the host returned to seat us, we mentioned we were reconsidering because of how we had been treated. The woman then came back and told him the kitchen couldn't handle our party of six. Given the mixed messages and unwelcoming attitude, we decided to leave. The host was great, but the interaction with the other employee ensured we won't be back.

Lovely place. And it's family friendly. There are so many babies here. If I lived here when my…read morechild was small she would have been a regular baby too.

The space is friendly with its seating and there are plenty of games to keep you engaged while you enjoy your brew. The music theme lines the decor, with cassettes (remember those?) from all genres featured. Friction always has some of their own makings on tap as well as guest taps that can range from regional to national. The board will list the ABV for each beer, as well as the pour prices, and you can choose from anything between lighter ales to heavier stouts. I prefer the darker stuff and really love their 'Train in Vain', a brown ale with fabulous body. Don't miss their fresh-hopped varietals, such as the recent 'Earth & Sky', which gives you that right-off-the-trellis hoppiness. If you're not sure what you want, then the makers will always give you friendly suggestions. They're proud of their offerings and that pride comes through in the beer. Making unique craft beer is always a labor of love and Friction really shows you how they get it done.
