If you're big into mixed drinks this is your place. This is mine and my husband's favorite date…read morespot. We love getting a good cocktail and listening to live music. Dockum has both great cocktails, and great entertainment. I really like the atmosphere here every single time. It's dim, it's romantic, it's lively. Our waitress every time has been the same girl and she's fabulous and attentive. Her name is Elvia, shoutout to her! We have our favorite drinks here, but always try something new each time. Never had a bad drink here. Our favorites are: The Last Word, Dizzy Dame, Cinder and Smoke. You can't go wrong with anything you order honestly. We could sit here for a few hours. It's also a speakeasy. It's under ground, you have to knock to get in. Overall it's just a cool vibe for something downtown in Wichita. It is my favorite spot to go. If you are in town visiting or a local, I recommend this place 1000%.

We went to Dockum Speakeasy for the first time with pretty high expectations. The hostess was…read morewonderful and seated us right away at a nice table, which started the evening off well. When our waitress came by, we told her it was our first visit and that we needed a little time with the menu. We ordered drinks, but they came out at odd times--two arrived quickly, while the other two took noticeably longer. My husband ordered a Bijou, which is a unique cocktail, and it seemed to take a while for the bar to figure out how to make it. Still, the drinks were good once they arrived. For food, we tried the burnt ends and the JoJos. The JoJos were excellent--crispy and flavorful--but the burnt ends were disappointing, served a bit cold and lacking in flavor. Things really unraveled with our second round of drinks. Service slowed to a crawl, and we eventually learned that our waitress had been sent home by the manager even though the bar was packed on a Friday night. A young server, only two weeks into the job, was left to take over, and unfortunately, he had no idea what he was doing. Another waitress stopped by to help but admitted she usually works upstairs in the restaurant and didn't know the cocktail menu either. The shift in service quality from the first round of drinks to the second was very jarring. There was live music, but the sound system wasn't great, so it didn't add much to the atmosphere. We did order desserts from the upstairs restaurant, which were a nice finish, but by the end of the night it was clear the staff was overwhelmed. As we left, we even saw the manager outside looking exhausted, which made us feel bad for the whole team. Overall, while the drinks were solid and the JoJos worth trying, the experience was inconsistent and stressful. Maybe we just got caught up in an off night of drama, but I wouldn't recommend Dockum for more than one drink.

The sauce is what is providing the flavor. The fries were crunchy and good. The food came out at a decent temperature. My friend ordered the Ginger Chicken Bites, Deviled Eggs and Truffle Fries. She felt the chicken bites didn't have any flavor and were okay. I felt the chicken bites could've had more flavor as well. It was fresh and hot though. She enjoyed the fries and Deviled Eggs. The Sunshine Old Fashioned and Paradise Peach drinks were 9.5/10! I ordered a medium well filet mignon, loaded baked potato and sautéed green beans to go. As seen in the photo, there were a SCOOP of green beans. The steak was overcooked and not even close to medium well which is what I ordered. My mother thought it all tasted good, it just wasn't cooked how I asked for it to be. I'd rate the overall experience a 7/10.

I really wanted to like this place. It's near our home and would be a great go to, but this is the…read morethird, and I'm afraid final, visit to Sheets Creek. The first time we dined here, we were seated on the patio and it had so much potential, but the stench from the nearby backyards (dog business) was overwhelming. The second visit was just fine, but this last visit was mostly bad all around. First, we were seated right away, but it took quite a while for a server to make their way to our table. It was really busy, so that is understandable, and the servers were all very friendly. It is not a quiet place by any means and our table was directly between the side door to the patio (smelly and hot every time the door was opened) and the kitchen which was abuzz with activity and really noisy. There was live music on the patio but that was out of earshot. We were served water and those glasses were kept full (thankfully because my son in law was dehydrated from attending the Wichita Open all day). Despite us taking a while to look over the drink menu, our drink order was never taken. We ordered a starter and got dill pickle bombs. They were fine. Standard bar food that we finished fairly quickly. We waited for 15 minutes for someone to return to take our entree order and quickly requested a couple things from the "specials" menu and a couple from the standard menu. We didn't mention drinks because we were eager to get the food order in, and after she left the table we said, "oh shoot. We didn't order drinks. Oh well she will be back." We didn't ever see our primary waitress again. People came by to fill water and to drop off our entrees. Then someone came to ask if we needed anything else and by then, we decided to stick with water. The first entree was salmon and chips. Looking back, the description might not have been investigated fully, because my husband was surprised that the salmon arrived breaded as you would expect cod or haddock to be in a fish n chips combo. It was not very appealing, but the fries were good. The server had asked if he preferred ranch or ketchup with fries and he replied ketchup but proceeded to receive neither. The second entree was a 6oz steak from the specials menu served with potatoes and a choice of vegetables. I requested green beans and both the sides were decent but did not knock my socks off. I ordered my steak medium rare and that is what I received. The flavor was good, but I can say without hesitation, it was the worst cut of meat I have ever been served. The steak came sliced and layered on top of the potatoes (probably to make it look more substantial since it was a smaller portion.) I had to ask for a steak knife because the table knife could not cut through any part of those slices. I got the steak knife, powered through some tendons and tried like mad to consume a small bit. I could not chew this steak. Until that day, I don't think I have ever spit out food in a restaurant, but I did not have a choice. It was either spit it out or swallow it whole. My son in law ordered a Cobb salad and said it was great! Score! Nothing terrible or out of the ordinary to report. Lastly, my daughter's meal might have been the most strange. Her entree was from the special menu and was described as a Shrimp Scampi Fettucine with garlic in a white wine butter sauce. At first bite, she immediately said, "Wow. That's really lemony." She kept eating (because thankfully she likes lemons) and gave her husband a bite. He physically retracted and said, "dang. That's a lot of lemon." She then asked me to try a noodle and gave both my husband and myself a fettuccine noodle. It tasted like the noodles had been boiled in lemon juice. The odd thing is that lemon was not mentioned in the description and the dish, upon further inspection, actually had lemon rind mixed in. There was no white wine butter sauce to speak of... just onion, garlic, and lemon with shrimp. It wasn't terrible. But that's definitely not in line with the description, and really not what she was expecting. A member of the wait staff stopped by and asked if she could bring us a sweets menu. At no time did anyone inquire about the meal. We said no to the sweets and asked for the check. My final assessment was that Sheets Creek is a nice place for friends to meet up and have drinks. They have live music and a nice atmosphere if you aren't looking for a quiet place to relax. The prices were not outrageous and had they been more, I might have complained. There were too many things to mention to staff and I would have come off as petty. Life is too short. Sheets Creek seems to be trying too hard to be unique and for me is missing the mark.

From their facebook and the article I got the vibe it was a Cocktail Lounge/Bar with live music etc. We came on a Friday night, there was a good amount of people in the bar. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits enjoying their drinks. We sat at the bar and the bartender Julian helped us. He was very friendly and approachable. I order the Suga Suga How You Get So Fly (it is an espresso martini with a cinnamon rim and a brown sugar syrup) my husband got the Mr. M Berry. Unfortunately I did not like my drink, I drank my husband's drink. His drink was good. Mine tasted very syrupy and artificial in flavor. We decided to stay for one more drink to leave on a good note. I ordered a Tequila Old Fashion (not on the menu) and my husband got Moxie's 4x4. These were a lot better than our first drink. For my old fashion it was very thick and syrupy, but I let the ice melt for a while and it was a better texture. I plan on coming back with some girlfriends and maybe trying some new drinks. As well I think I would like when they have live music more. They were playing really loud club music. Rap and R&B. Don't get me wrong I like that music. But not at a Cocktail Lounge Bar. I was hoping for something a little more relaxing and sensual. Dimmer lights and music to match that vibe. I know it's new so maybe they are still trying to adjust the overall aesthetic. Overall it was a 4/5 maybe a 3.5/5. I will give a more updated review my second time around with the live music and other drinks. Bartender and service: 5/5 Prices are reasonable. Bar is clean and well kept. Menu: 1/5. They are hard to read and flip pages.
