    A must stop when in Wichita, similar to Springfield's notorious horseshoes the haystack is a phenomenal calorie packed monster of a dish. Get it with Classique, an excellent saison beer by Stillwater!

    Great selection of beers, try the sour beers worth every penny. Their burgers are also delicious and their portions are quite big including fries. Staff is super nice and friendly.

    Wonderful Steaks, and when you were able to smoke upstairs you could get a great cigar. You can still go up the elevator and listen to the fly traffic though, and that is still a unique experience.

    Excellent craft beer list, featuring a lot of local stuff. Plus food is also delicious. Try the Midnight Marauder, for sure.

    Very cool local atmosphere. Not a great place to watch a game, only one TV above the bar. I'm sure there are plenty of other places for that. Wings and tacos were good.

    Possibly the best Portabella Mushroom Burger I've had. Order without provolone, it's cheesy enough. Sweet potato fries are great too.

    If the food was any better here, they'd have to call it a gastropub. Try the smoked pastrami sandwich. Luscious.

    Great beer here and the servers are friendly enough. But they really should know something about the beer they are serving.

    Everything is good here. Especially the beer selection. If I had started foursquare earlier, I would have been mayor months ago!

    Sweet potato fries are a delicious and slightly healthier alternative to regular fries. Please avoid the calorie-packed allure of the haystack.

    Once again another bartender that has tunnel vision with Odell and sees potential in nothing else. But I secretly think that is why I love this place

    Switch up the Haystack burger by asking for sweet potato fries instead of regular ones.

    Pretty much anything you get here is going to be good. Hippies use the back door.
