😠 One of the most racist bars I have ever been to. If you are a person of color do not come here. You will not feel welcome . The staff is sure to make you feel like you don’t belong . As soon as you walk in you will be greeted with stares instead of smiles . Also, notoriously known for serving minor...

As soon as you walk in you will be greeted with stares instead of smiles . Also, notoriously known for serving minors just because they are “regulars” who spend money every weekend on drinks.

    Chicken alfredo with sides for $7.99 After my success for taco Tuesday, I decided to come back and check out their chicken Alfredo. I got here shortly after five, and the cook was due back in 15 minutes they said. I’m not sure when the dinner hour officially starts so I was OK with that I wasn’t in a huge hurry. I order a well drink special, place my order for my food the bar staff kept me updated on the meal. First the good news, The Alfredo had a nice flavor not overly spiced or salted. A number of pieces of chicken mixed in with the noodles, some of it may have been just a touch overcooked but still very good. I prefer a little overcooked or undercooked chicken any day. I was expecting something more than fettuccine Alfredo and two small pieces of bread, But didn’t know what to expect for sure. The fettuccine noodles were actually spaghetti, I’m OK with that pasta pretty much is pasta unless less you make it by hand. The portion was kind of what I expected size wise not too little, not too much. Beside of some kind would’ve been nice maybe a house salad, but you don’t typically see that as bar food. My personal preference was the tacos were better than the pasta, But still good I’ll be back. Org review ——- I had to check out the taco Tuesday event. This place has fried flour beef tacos for a buck apiece on taco Tuesday. They were hot, generous portions of meat and fillings the taco sauce had a nice flavor not overpowering. I came just for their taco Tuesday, but I’ll be back to check out the rest of their kitchen offerings if they’re halfway as good as the tacos I’ll be pleased. As a local guide, my goal is that produce reviews that you like, but factual. If my review was helpful or you enjoyed reading it feel free to post the like, if you have constructive suggestions please feel free to leave them. Thanks for reading!

    The DJ was rude and unprofessional accusatory said, "He hated people like me who think they own the karoake stage." Never had a turn to sing and few other men who came in. He played favorites cutting others out of line. Never come back here again. There was a different DJ prior who was excellent but the one on Saturdays is mean.

    The tacos were delicious and so was my margarita. I've been wanting to try this place based on all the great reviews. I wish I could make it on a Thursday for steak night.

    Great hole in the wall with strong drinks, Dragon Ascent game, pool, karaoke and darts... so perfect, right? Oh wait, they make great food too. Burgers, pizza, pork chops, lumpia and a whole lot more. Owner is great people and you'll see him running around keeping everything going. Prices are great and they have pretty amazing weekly specials including $1 tacos, half priced pizza and burgers, chicken fried steak, a super affordable steak day, etc.

    We already came here for Taco Tuesday: 12 tacos for $10.00! Wonderful tacos b.t.w. but just got THE BEST Philly cheese steak! Love this place! Was going to put a picture but couldn't stop eating 😁 Edit: Brittany is a fantastic bartender/server!

    I liked the atmosphere. The place is clean, the server's are nice. The "fresh fried, hand battered mushrooms " as described on their menu are frozen and nasty, about $6.00 for a dozen. The main course was pretty good, no complaints but it took about 45 minutes to get our food (2 people) I would go back to meet friends there and visit but not for a special meal.

    First time here and I absolutely love this place. The food was excellent and my drinks were amazingly lethal in the best way. Got a long iced tea that was top notch, 5 star across the board. Went in at noon on a Friday and it was what I was looking for. Quiet, darkly lit and filled with the older crowds of usual who frequent this place who were in search of a cocktail without all the brew ha ha of a tgi mcfunsters. If I go on a bar crawl this is definitely the place to hit up.

    We had a great time at this location. The staff and the crowd was wonderful. People were so friendly and the karaoke was really good. The DJ did an amazing job entertaining crowds too. The bartender was super nice. It’s not too loud, you can sit down and have a drink while enjoying some karaoke. Really good atmosphere.

    Good food and prices overall. Pork chops and AJ burger were LG portions. Fish and chips and mushrooms and swiss we're also good. We went around lunch time. They have pool tables, air hockey. Wanna go back and try the tacos.

    Wow what a delicious steak dinner at such a amazing price! We were more than impressed with our meal and service. The wait staff is attentive, fun yet still professional and provided great service and they were extremely busy! My steak was cooked perfect and the flavor exceptional. This place is a must try for their Thursday night steaks special.....or any night!

    A & J's Music Room was on our list of places to try and they didn't disappoint! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a blast that we have already been there twice for date night! The first time we had tried the steak which was recommended by one of the staff.....yummy 😋 the second time we had fish and chips...also yummy 😋

    I didn't eat much, except a Mozzarella stick. Which was good. You have to go up to the bar to get your drinks. I enjoyed the karaoke. They allow people to sing anything and everything, and sometimes someone will play the drums or guitar while you sing.

    Never the same experience twice. Great service with friendliness, warm food, cold beer, fun patrons, plenty of parking including bike parking.

    Worst bar experience of my life. The karaoke was great other than their rotation was super long. I ordered a blue Hawaiian and was given a "green" drink with chunks in it, when I asked the bartender very kindly if I could have the drink remade. And she said I would have to pay for another drink. The drinks are small and overpriced and the bartender clearly doesn't want to be there, I strongly do not recommend. There are MUCH better bars in Wichita don't waste your time here.

  • 5/5 Janelle C. 1 year ago on Google
    We love it here cuz they have the karaoke every night if you are into that kind of thing. So nothing like getting with a bunch of friends and having some drinks and trying to sing the night away sometimes...

  • 4/5 Danielle A. 5 months ago on Google
    Atmosphere is old school which we like, the food was good. We got the steak, loaded side salad and asparagus. Everything came out cooked perfectly, I didn't care for the seasoning on the steak it reminded me of seafood. Will be going back again just so I can get me some tacos.

  • 5/5 Lancelot C. 4 months ago on Google
    Love goin here. Its fun to people watch and listen to karaoke. 2 pool tables, some Dragon gambling digital game, and one of the best places if you like to sing. Usually packed Friday-Sunday around 9p.m. or later

    We have half-price burgers and I had the most amazing onion rings and my friend had french fries. I tried a beer on tap that was new to me called peroni it was suggested by one of the people in the bar and I really appreciate it because now it's my favorite. It was Sunday evening and they had three or four people regulars doing karaoke and it was enjoyable if not,

    Tacos and fried pickles were delicious. Diet drink tasted weird but replaced it with a canned drink, it was much better. Very dark place to eat, but it is a bar, so there's that. Cheap lunch, two of us ate for less that $15. If we hadn't ordered the pickles to try them it would have been under $10.

  • 5/5 A Z. 9 months ago on Google
    Burger and fries were hot. Service was spot on and attentive. Good value if you go during the specials. Under $40 for a massive burger with fries and some beverage(s) for two people. The seasoning of the burger meat *chefs kiss*
