So Long Saloon - BlackBerry bean dip - Bars Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

First time coming here and omg it was so good. I love finding good local places to visit, and this place has definitely made the list. There are many other things on the menu that I want to try; I'm already looking forward to coming back! We sat at the bar, and the bartender (Zander) was great. Very quick and helpful, our order was perfect. I love the woodwork on the mirror frame behind the bar (idk if there's a specific name for that), it looks so cool and vintage. I love all the skeleton decor too. So glad we came here tonight. read more

So Long Saloon - The Bird, Fries - Bars Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Came in for lunch and was very impressed with this place. The inside is pretty small but we were able to get a table quickly even though it was packed inside. After eating, I see why it was packed. This place is great! We just HAD to try the "world famous" raspberry bean dip. You should too! I've been thinking about it ever since! Their burger menu is pretty impressive and they had several I want to try. However, I landed on the Aloha burger (thinking warm thoughts during this brisk Kansas winter). It was pretty tasty! Get the raspberry bean dip. I've been thinking about it since we had lunch. The vibe: Old timey saloon meets tombstone. read more

So Long is a MHK staple, and for good reason. Great atmosphere, great people, and great food. It is usually busy (for good reason), so be prepared to wait. Luckily, on my most recent visit, my girlfriend and I were able to be seated immediately. If you've never had a Nancy (light beer with a splash of pineapple juice), go ahead and order that first while you look at the menu. It isn't well known outside of Aggieville unless you are a KSU alum. Then order the raspberry chipotle black bean dip. It sounds odd, but is super good. On this visit, I tried "The Bird", which is a southwest chicken sandwich on a hoagie roll. It was super filling, and between that and the dip, I wasn't able to finish everything. Must stop in Aggieville (at least during the daylight hours). read more

Fun atmosphere great service. I'm still trying to get used to paying over $20 for a hamburger, but the flavor was fantastic. The options are unique and the quality is there. I will be back and they focus on what they do well cheeseburgers, and drinks read more

Great food, great service and really cool western style ambience. We recommend this strongly.

Where do I even start with this gem of a business that's in the heart of Manhattan, KS? Okay first off I heard that chili, amongst many things, is a huge staple in Kansas so I knew I needed to try it somewhere on my business. I searched this place while staying in Manhattan and decided to give it a go. I ordered the chili cheese burger with a side of French fries and good heavens this is whole plate was a delivery from god I'm not even joking! This is quite honestly the best damn chili burger I have ever had in my life (as of now :P) and I really wished that this restaurant was back at home in Southern California. Anyways, the chili cheese burger was amazing with its different layers of flavors of course starting with the main taste bud ticklers being the chili cheese and burger patty. What really made it a lot more unique was the sour cream that was added in the mix along with the onions. I'm going to start doing this at home to try to get at least a small sliver of remembrance from eating at this fine restaurant. The vibes of the restaurant was so cool and immaculate! If you're a fan of music, skulls/skeletons, and a dive bar feel this is the place to go. The staff was absolutely nice, friendly, and checked in on me often. If I'm ever given the opportunity to come back out here for work... So Long Saloon will 100% be my first stop to go! Much love ya'll :) read more

Visiting with a local who said we had to order the raspberry chipotle black bean dip and he was right. It was amazing. I went with the steak and cheddar sandwich and while it was tasty, there wasn't a ton of steak on it. The potato salad was divine with egg and bacon bits in it. Drinks standardly subpar and exactly what you'd expect for a college bar. Although the hostess was quite surly, we had great service at the table. It's a small joint so it can get pretty loud but at least during dinner tables seemed to rotate pretty quickly and we only had a short wait to be seated. It is mostly high tops with backless stools but they were wide, solid and padded so it wasn't too bad. But not the most comfortable. read more

Best little Saloon in Aggieville!!! Love the chipotle bean dip appetizer! The burgers are great ... lotsa choice . The service was exceptionally kind and attentive to our group of octogenarians who meet once a month for lunch. We'be been back 3 times and enjoyed each time!!! read more

First off, I try to eat local when traveling. I especially look for good reviews and some local flare. This is how I came to attempt the So Long Saloon. Didn't end well and my take is as follows: 1st off... Skip it. I Went in solo on a Sunday night to eat supper. The place was at about 75% capacity based in seat cocoount and was told I couldn't sit at a table or booth because I'm solo... was offered the lone open seat at the bar which was quite literally nested next to the shitcan..when I say next to it, I mean the stool was literally touching it and I'd likely have been rubbing shoulders with the guy seated in the next stool and any server who approached the server statiin.. No Bueno. I asked if that was the only option and asked again to be seated at a table only to be told no again as i was solo... the server offered zero and i mean NO resistance when I told the young server I'd skip it before I'd shit basically on the garbage can.. come on Manhattan!!! Perhaps next time welcome a paying guest as if the business was welcomed as opposed to resisting the fact that I didn't want to rub up on a shitcan while I ate... P.S. As an update... I drove over to the Vista Drive Inn and got precisely what I wanted in plentiful taste and portion... I won't be back ever for an attempt at the So Long Saloon... perhaps a place really is as it's name implies.. So Long! read more

Really good bar with great burgers and excellent slaw. Great place to visit when in town to visit KState. Really good service particularly busy they were. Sadly had to work an event after lunch so I couldn't try the beer here but the ices tea was great too. read more

The restaurant was a little smaller than I expected, but it was definitely packed full of character, as well as patrons. The staff were all very friendly and provided good service. My wife and I shared chips and queso as an appetizer. Both the chips and the queso were very good. The only thing I would have changed would be giving the queso just a little kick to it. For our meals, we both got the temptation burger with fries as a side. She ordered hers as is, but I substituted the mayo for bourbon bbq sauce. It was truly a really good burger. In my opinion the fries were fine, however they left a little bit to be desired. I really like fries with some sort of seasoning or topping on them. Overall I would recommend and we will be going back! read more

Nostalgic vibes in here from my days at KSU. One of the few businesses still open from the late 90s. Food and service was excellent! Beer very cold! read more

Great burgers and fast and friendly service! Such a cool little old-fashioned saloon that you don't want to miss!

Bean dip and the pirate Nancy were amazing! We also had the burgers and they were very good.

Food & Service is always amazing! Gotta try the Raspberry Bean Dip - it's delicious! The PB & J is my go to along with a Pirate Nancy

I mean they have a Woody Guthrie poster on the wall. I am coming back for that. This visit was for drinks and appetizers. Will have to come back again for more food. Margarita- great Chips and guacamole- good Bean dip not a favorite with our family but others seem to like it. read more

So Long Saloon - Well I love this festival so maybe that means this place will be one of my favorite stops in MHK - Bars Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

I was in Onaga, KS (staying in Centralia, KS) for school with some classmates and we headed to Manhattan, KS for a day trip. All 5 of us are from California. All but one are from larger cities, so the Kansas life was a culture shock to us and we needed some city time on our free day. I'm a foodie, so...Of course, I checked out Yelp to find us an early dinner spot. So Long Saloon came up with good ratings, so we headed there. The menu is pretty simple by my standards. Most of us ordered burgers and I got an order of fried pickles to share. "Frickles," if you will. Haha. The frickles were a big hit with me and my classmates. I've never had fried pickles that were so crunchy before. And I loved my burger. I forget what it was called, but it have a deliciously soft fried egg in it with a yolk that burst on my first bite. If I ever find myself in Kansas again, I'd try to stop by here. I really want to try their peanut butter burger. The service was FANTASTIC. We had multiple people checking up on us. They were super attentive and incredibly friendly. The saloon and decorated as one would expect a saloon to be. I love that casual, dive type of feel, so I loved it. Don't be alarmed to find stuffed animals everywhere you go in Kansas. Seems to be a staple around there. read more

Burgers were great. The drinks were flowing. A cute little spot in the littel apple. Will make it a return visit.

The Chili Cheese Burger was super delicious, and so did the Onion Rings and the fries. The service was a little slow since the restaurant was quite busy. Regardless, I enjoyed my experience there. read more

So Long's, I love you. It isn't just the nostalgia of reminiscing on college memories made here...the food and drinks are just straight up delicious. If you're a first timer, the bean dip is a must try. I get it - the combination sounds odd at first, but when you stir that chipotle raspberry into the dip... wow. Just perfect. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers here. For a lighter lunch, (or to pair with bean dip) I like a couple sliders. Absolutely enjoy them with the pickles. They add the perfect crunch and bite of dill to the slider. If you're up for a drink, you've got to try a Nancy. My personal favorite is the Pirate Nancy. Just give it a try! You won't regret it. Expect a wait, especially on game days and other busy times in the 'Ville. Luckily, there's lots of local shopping in the area where you can pass the time! read more

Beyond basic bar food. Good Bartenders in a friendly atmosphere. Try the "Resist Temptation" burger

So Long Saloon is a gem in Manhattan! Their raspberry black bean dip was absolutely delicious -- such a unique and tasty appetizer. And the blue cheeseburger? Outstanding! Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is an iconic place from when my oldest brother attended KSU decades ago. The margs and Nancy's are good reasons to stop in and grab a drink and absorb the vibe and nostalgia. My burger and rings were good and service was attentive. I was a little disappointed in the dill pickle fries due to how greasy they were and lack of dillness flavor. The special shrimp wrap was good but needed more filling. Definitely wished I would have ordered the chipotle raspberry cheese dip but saved it for visiting their sister mexican restaurant Taco Lucha later that night. read more

Coming here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon I could tell immediately that this was the "it" spot for k-state. And for good reason. Even though it was packed we were seated immediately at the bar. The place was staffed adequately so we got our food ordered and delivery quickly. It was all delicious. read more

Decent college vibe kind of joint. It's pretty small, but they have some takes on food that you don't see everywhere. Started with the Black Bean and Raspberry dip with chips, weird and good all in the same bite. I'd for sure try it. They claim to be famous for the Nancy - Busch Lite + Pineapple Juice, tell me that isn't a college bar drink. Add some rum and they call it a Pirate Nancy and it's not to bad. Not a big Busch Lite fan, but not bad. I had the Peanut Butter Burger cause why not. It had kind of a Thai vibe - sriracha plus pb smothered on a 1/2 burger. The only issue is the burger was overly done, so it was a little dry. Had they made that bad boy medium, it easily could have had another star. Fries where well done - I recommend a little honey mustard on the side - helped the burger and pretty good on the fries as well! read more

This saloon is a stone's throw from KSU. You'll see lots of KSU students inside the bar, which a sign the food is good. The interior is decorated in vintage country music posters and they had three or four televisions broadcasting the Royals baseball game. The hostess sat me immediately at the bar. It was packed inside. The bartender/waiter showed me a picture of the fajita special on his phone. It looked good, but I came for a burger! I ordered a bun-less bleu cheese burger with a side of spicy coleslaw. The slaw was crisp, fresh, but not too spicy. I'm from the land of green Chile and like things hot. The bleu cheese burger had an abundance of blue cheese, two strips of crispy bacon, onions, tomatoes, and was wrapped in 2 romaine lettuce leaves. It was cooked medium well and super juicy. Also, it was quite large and filling. I saw the bartender give a Pitt coed a free drink called a Nancy. She told him she was visiting her friend at KSU. Apparently, it's Old Milwaukee draft mixed with pineapple juice. She didn't like it, but I witnessed quite a few being sold while I was there. If I had been drinking beer I would have tried one. The bartenders and waitresses had a laid back, energetic vibe. I would definitely give this one another visit. The burger was quite good. read more

So Long Saloon is an Aggieville mainstay. They're known for their burgers, but also serve sandwiches and salads. You can wash down your meal with a cold drink from their massive and well-stocked bar. I went with the Saloon Burger and added bacon, which was served with a side of potato salad. It was a perfectly acceptable burger although it was a little overcooked. I would recommend ordering one level below what you normally order, i.e. if you order medium, you might order medium rare. The potato salad was a little bland. It wasn't bad, but it didn't jive like I thought it should. That's okay, sometimes that happens. Service was excellent. It was a little slow when I visited however my server wasn't bashful. She was quick and attentive, but not overbearing. I'm glad she was there. read more

The service was superb! Talked with (Jay and Travis- always good to see them smiling and such! ) Bar staff kept my drinks on full. I want to thank the nice lady for taking great care of us... Paige was her name Maybe? The chips and queso was the bomb! The food was portioned gently and the Miller Lites were ice cold. The atmosphere was awesome! I had the grilled chicken slider that paired well with a Miller lite that hit the spot! I will definitely return when in Manhattan again. It's a great place to be. Thank you for being awesome!

Such good food even better vibes all the staff is so friendly and sweet. Bean dip is 20/10

The food is pretty good but, as it's in Aggieville, it can get really busy when KSU is in session. It's gets really crowded on game days and at night, but you can always find a spot to sit and grab some food. The atmosphere is pretty loud, as it is a busy college restaurant/bar/hangout. If you do eat here, don't forget to try Taco Lucha, their sister restaurant that's adjoined to the rear with a separate street entrance. Yummo! read more

Definitely an awesome, very chill, college-type bar. Perfect for a drink and a burger. They had an interesting app- the raspberry bean dip. I actually liked it, although it was pretty filling prior to eating a decent sized burger. For the drinks... I got a fall favorite- the apple mule. It was okay- a bit too sweet. My boyfriend got an old-fashioned, which was an interesting take on it. Looking back, we regretted not getting beers instead. The burgers themselves were very good- I got the Jack Smash burger and my boyfriend got the bleu cheese burger. The Jack Smash was delicious, although very messy (don't worry they supply a plethora of napkins) and, understandably, a bit soggy. The Bleu Cheese burger was a bit on the dry side, but had a good flavor over all. Overall, a great place for a chill time and good eats(: read more
