Cute little cocktail bar off of Mass St…read more I was recently in Lawrence and decided to finally stop by to try a cocktail. The interior is pretty small but they do have some seating outside-front and back. The service was good. I ordered the House Gimlet: cucumber infused gin, rosemary, orange blossom, and lime. This drink was so refreshing. It's a great drink for spring and summer. I highly recommend this drink! My boyfriend tried the Fugue State: Old overholt rye, bigallet China-china, tiki bitters, Lambrusco, and orange peel. He liked it and said it was like an old fashioned. It wasn't too strong and was really sweet. They had lots of other good sounding cocktails. I'll definitely stop by in the future.

We recently attended National Caviar Day at the Oread in Lawrence, KS. Even though we were the only…read morereservation, the staff went above and beyond. Restaurant Manager Alex Tuckwin and Chef Ty Armstrong created a personal, unforgettable evening. Each course was beautifully prepared, each wine pairing thoughtfully chosen. The flavors, the setting, the kindness-all exceptional. I didn't know my taste buds could be so astounded! We felt welcomed, relaxed, and truly cared for. It was a five star experience in the heart of a college town. A hidden gem we'll remember for a long time. The Oread is home to two true artists-Alex Tuckwin and Ty Armstrong- and we are so grateful to have experienced their work.

Watch the marquee - The Bottleneck features an ample stage hosting bluegrass to heavy metal, bop,…read moreswing, country, rock, big band horns, Disney mashups, salsa, drag parades, Zydeco, and more. I've found that bigger names and highly gifted performers come through Lawrence on their way cross country, so pay attention and research the artists scheduled on Sunday through Tuesday nights. (This is true of most Lawrence music venues). Cactus Blossom was 5 brothers from Minneapolis melding family voices like the syrupy blend of Everly Brothers harmonies; Justin Payne was originally a classical violinist who jettisoned to Nashville, got a waterfall of all other music influences, and traveled the road for over twenty years honing his skills at music and reading crowds. Look at the wall of promotional 8x10 glossies of the bands that have played here and you'll get the picture. Lots of acts you want to see today were at the Bottleneck when they were building their cred - and you may be able to say, "I saw them @thebottleneck BAE." Oh, btw - The Bottleneck is small enough that you can generally interact with the performers - and the shows get better with the energy of the audience. It's big enough to take a group of friends and small enough that the audience makes an impressive impact. (Ever notice how people respond to praise and encouragement?) Often, the musicians stick around to autograph their merch, discuss where to eat and drink, and enjoy midwestern hospitality along their grueling path to play for nameless faces in faraway places. Support the artists and inhale their blooming talent.

I had no idea The Bottleneck had a couple of skylights…read more I guess I never really visited much during the daylight hours. Anyway - the venue has gone through a small renovation. They've updated the sound and lighting systems. They've also done some work around the stage, repainted and cleaned the interior and semi fixed up the restrooms. This is a fun little venue. Whoever you come to see will look and sound good and you should have a good time.

The drinks are strong but creative and delicious. No food served just snacks like peanuts and such. We ordered 2 rounds: French no. 5 - their take on a French 75. A spritz of Chanel no.5 is attached to the drink. Grandma's Gun is hot and strong mulled wine. And finally we had the No Blood Only Lipstick which was the most expensive drink on the menu but worth every sip. The service is wonderful! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Gender neutral restrooms. While the drinks are spendy, it's definitely worth the experience. If in Lawrence it's worth a stop.

The cocktails are all on draft. Some come with toys, beads, and even lights. The Shark Attack has a shark filled with a shot of grenadine that you can pour into the blue concoction. Super fun. They also offer beer. A few craft but mostly domestics. The prices are also very good. $5 a cocktail. Def check them out if you're in LFK.
