    This place is a treasure! Cool interior. The drinks are the best in Wichita. Bartender and owner were awesome.

    We were down the street at another bar and we have always wanted to check this place out…read more Positives: Live music, cool venue inside, tons of seating options, inside and outside options, decent drinks with good prices. Less positive: Door cover charge (this could have been because of the live band? Not sure if there's always a cover) $10 each, not terrible. They have drinks online that look great, but none of the bartenders knew how to make them and they seemed confused when we showed them the online menu we were ordering from. There are no menus anywhere but online. We did find food menus but no drink menus so that's why we pulled the online one. For a cocktail lounge, I assume they have mixed drinks they create beyond your traditional cocktails. So it was a bummer no one knew the menu. So we just ordered traditional cocktails. Our bartender was great all night and our drinks tasted good and the bill was low. The live band was great and there was a dance floor for some two step. Everyone seemed to be having fun and we really enjoyed our time here. We are going to come back when there isn't a live band to see how it is and if there is no cover, so I'll update my review then. Overall 8/10 experience. I think if they just had mixed drinks for cocktail lounge it would be 10/10

    Service was not great, we waited 35 minutes for our meal. Food was ok not surprised to hear that…read morethey closed shortly after we went in.

    I smoked my first cigar at Mort's! Lol…read more We were in town for our once a year business trip to check up on properties. We try to check out a new place during each trip and wound up back at river city brewery. However! There was great live music coming from across the parking lot. Taking a closer look, we thought... cigar bar? Let's check it out. And I am glad we did! Mort's has such a great atmosphere! The girls working here are so cute, friendly and helpful! My partner is a cigar smoker but it was my first time. We opted for the Havana Honey, which was a smaller cigar. Our server got us all set up and that choice was pretty good! I now see the hype. They have a large drink menu but I stuck with a Michelob Ultra. We came back the next day and Sundays was $1 off drafts so we did the same thing again. The live music was great. Mort's has live music EVERY DAY! I love bars with live music and the fact that they have it every day is a reason we went back the next day. I can't wait for our next trip back to Wichita because we will definitely be heading to Mort's again!

    We found this cool gem walking around old town Wichita on a Sunday night. We heard the live music…read moreon the patio and decided to go in. The restaurant has an extensive cigar list as well as an extensive martini list. I decided to go traditional with the 007 martini. It was fantastic. Next I had the espresso martini which was equally good. There is an outdoor patio for cigar smoking, which is tented in with heaters. It was actually warmer on the patio than it was inside the location. The live music was enjoyable and the singer played a lot of 60s and 70s easy listening.

    Lunch at the Belmont was a hit. This place never misses, like ever.... Layton was my server, very…read moreprofessional and keeps a great conversation. He also does a damned good job at trying to remember peoples names which is appreciated highly. I hopped in around 2:45pm or just before they switched from their lunch to dinner menu. I ordered their Cod fish sandwich with house chips on the side, and the Cheddar Potato Leek soup. The Cod sandwich I recommend, unfortunately I've never had anything like it before so I cannot provide any detail in which it can be compared to anything else in town. The flavors are subtle and the gochujang aioli with pickled veggies really balance out the sandwich. The Cheddar Potato Leek soup is a hit, every bite as good as the first, and with the fall / cooler weather coming I'll be looking forward to ordering this often. If you're able to make it here around the 2:45 + timeframe it's pretty open for anyone to come in and get served immediately as it is just after the lunch rush. The inside is dimly lit, and You'll hear the staff hustle and bustle and the kitchen with the clinks and clanks of dishes and silverware. Music ranges with just about anything.

    I enjoyed such a wonderful lunch at The Belmont! The biscuits were hands down the best I've ever…read morehad- perfectly crunchy on the outside and incredibly soft and moist on the inside. Absolutely delicious! The truffle mac & cheese was another standout and definitely worth ordering. The service was just as impressive. Our drinks were constantly refilled without us ever having to ask- they were never empty! It's those little details that make such a difference. Our server's name is Tanya and she was as kind as can be. Great food, attentive service, and an overall wonderful experience. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Wichita!
