    Gold Rush Grilled Cheese with Sweet Potato Tots
    Jacque S.

    While we were visiting we stopped in for dinner. This place is very open and trendy with a great relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. We started out with mushrooms with burned ends along with peppers and goat cheese . I had the roast beef and cheddar sandwich with house made BBQ chips. My husband had the grilled cheese with sweet potato tots. The meal was very nice and we left with a full stomach! Definitely would go again!

    We enjoyed a tasty casual meal with upbeat vibe. Our server Will was friendly and attentive. They had a good beer selection. We enjoyed the goat cheese peppers and yummy salads.

    The food was all really good. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was very busy but worth the wait.

    Loved the monarch! Their sandwiches are HUGE and delicious! They have a variety of drinks as well, and are pet friendly in their patio! The service was exceptional, very attentive!

    Veggie sandwich with fries
    Jenny T.

    I came here for lunch on a Saturday. It was pretty busy when I arrived, but I was seated right away. I was sat near the bar area at a high top table. With tvs around, it gave off a sports bar vibe. Since I was alone, it was nice to watch the tv. Food: I ordered the fried mushrooms to start. The serving size was larger than I was expecting, and they were delicious! I absolutely enjoyed them. I also ordered the veggie sandwich. The sandwich was pretty good. The fries were crispy too. Service: Service was friendly. The food came out promptly as well. I did think my mushrooms would come out first, but all the food came out at once. TL;DR - Good restaurant with a sports bar vibe

    Re remains one of our favorite restaurants for a sandwich and drinks. Nice outdoor seating area. Good selection of bourbon. Reasonable prices

    Cuban
    Jerome M.

    Service was great considering our large party of 18. Lots of places to sit and food options were good. Had the popular Cuban and it was good...fries were really awesome. Also had old fashioned and they came out really good with a block ice. Highly recommend!!!

    Monarch Wings

    Restaurant/pub located in downtown Wichita. A few locals recommended this spot so we checked it out for Sunday brunch. Bottomless mimosas are apparently against the law in Wichita but they do offer $5 mimosas. There is also a great selection of bourbons and beers. We started with the goat cheese peppers which were amazing. They guys had the wings which they said were excellent with some spice. For my meal I had the pork Mac and cheese. Two people could definitely split this. Our waiter was super attentive and friendly.

    lack luster Rueben.  Not horrible, but not great.
    Danny M.

    Not Horrendous, but even though it was my first time in Wichita (visiting from Los Angeles) I managed to find better food. I ordered a Rueben, and being from L.A., where there are a LOT of Jewish Delis with OUtstanding sandwiches, maybe I held them to a high bar. I tried to take this into consideration, but the Rueben was just simply....lacking a bit, a bit in saucieness, sourkrout, flavor, texture. It just was what it was. Service was a bit lack luster. Food was dropped off at table with "no" silverware, and few other oversights that I won't get into. MY ex ordered mac n cheese with ribe tips or ends? It came to the table "cold." She didn't even eat it. It was taken off the bill. Sorry gang. I always "hope" to give rave reviews but....

    Awesome art

    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.

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%.

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.

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!

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.
