👍 Great speak easy place, nice to chill and have some nice conversations. I asked for a spicy margarita and they got it just right! I took some photos of the ceiling, it looks like a tunnel. I was told by the bartender this place used to be a theater. People often mention great, drinks, night, Great, live, band, experience, time, good, amazing,

    Great place with fair priced drinks. Closes at midnight during the week. Karaoke on weekdays!! Beautiful building with original brick and crown molding! Upstairs area to have a romantic evening.

    Absolutely love this bar! It's very chill, drinks were great, and the staff was amazing! They had a live band, Stallion, that was great! Definitely would recommend and go back! The balcony would be great for a private party!

    Had this on a list of places we had been looking forward to check out. Went on a Friday night expecting a high end cocktail lounge. There was a small cover charge upon entry and the space looked neat. Once we sat at the bar the female bartenders attitude was enough to make me want to walk back out the door. Ended up staying for 1 round and didn’t even finish our drinks they were so bad. A live band started playing and the music was incredibly loud for the small space. No part of the experience makes me want to go back to this establishment. Wichita could use a night cocktail lounge but this place is absolutely not it.

    It was awesome! Amazing wait staff. They had live music. Double Tap was playing. '80s '90s rock . They were on fire!! Will definitely be going again, especially when this band is playing.

    This place was so much fun and the live music was epic. It is a very cool looking club and the staff were super friendly. I am going back for sure

    Two bartenders to handle all the drinks on a Friday night?? AND they want to push a cover charge?? Waited ten minutes at the bar with no acknowledgment, and finally decided to leave. The band is great, but this establishment has a few things to learn.

    They had Prosecco on Tap. I thought it was the most amazing thing ever.

    Went early evening on a Saturday and had a great experience! The server was friendly and helpful, while the cocktails were delicious and the food was great. We had a few drinks, but our fave was the coconut, banana, and coffee amaro "Coco Cabana" cocktail.

    Female bartender completely ignored our group without reason (not busy…). Really disappointed, there is an AMAZING bar right next to this place called Dockum’s that will continue to keep my business. They have the best craft cocktails in Wichita!

    Celebrated our anniversary here! We enjoyed everything! The V-nights cocktail was my favorite and the bruschetta was very tasty. Our waitress was excellent! The live band sounded really good as well. Overall a fantastic first time experience!

    Cool atmosphere. Our service was awful.We arrived at 6:30; fewer than 20 customers were there (including my party of 2). I waited more than a 1/2 hour for my drink, which not not made well at all, from their own specialty menu. My friend received her drink 15 minutes--still took much too long--before me, even though we ordered at the sa.e time. I had to get up, go to the bar, and stop my server s total of four times before finally getting my drink. Other people, who came in long after us, ordered and received drinks in several minutes; other customers--also arriving around the same time as us--finally left because they never received their drinks. Doesn't bode well for a "cocktail lounge."

    A must see while in Wichita. Best part of our trip! What a beautiful old building with the most accommodating staff and great drinks!

    Great spot for cocktails! Probably the best old fashioned I’ve ever had!! Great service, friendly folks, strong drinks, good food, and live music! This spot hits on every aspect of a fun night!!!

    It's good.. great place to go. Staff has always been very friendly and knowledgeable! I wish they had more blues and jazz nights in the weekends, but definitely a good option to go if you are visiting or wanting a relaxing evening with your significant other!

    Had a wonderful night at Vorshays. Drinks were great and the atmosphere was better. I miss the v night drink but hopefully they bring it back soon.

    We absolutely adored Lisa! Great service, and she made amazing drinks. We were very happy with our experience and how great the drinks tasted. There was an issue with our food to no fault of her own that she resolved in a professional manner. We had a blast. Thank you, Lisa!

    I always have a nice experience here. Great drinks at affordable prices, and an atmosphere that feels a lot more luxurious and expensive than it really is. On Karaoke night, the host sings MAJESTICALLY! I highly recommend an evening at Vorshay's.

  • 5/5 Ray G. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place to kick back and enjoy a few cocktails 🍸 Lots of great bands play there, too.

  • 3/5 Angela M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time. The band was amazing and the vibe was great. My only complaint is the size of the place. Upon our arrival there was no open seats. We briefly stood by the bar and one of the waitresses was extremely rude. The drinks are also watered down and pricey.

  • 4/5 Adam M. 8 months ago on Google
    I like this venue. Great sandwiches and drinks and atmosphere are great. My only complaint is that if they have a band playing it's really loud and you won't be able to chat with anyone if they are playing.

    I don't usually review poorly on my first time somewhere and especially since we might have picked a poor night to go, but it more or less ruined a good night out. We left an event and came here to hang out looking for a good place to chill and chat. "Cocktail lounge" usually fits the bill. The drinks were okay, the service was good, and the live music could have sounded great if it didn't give me a pounding headache. It was louder than many dedicated concerts I've gone to. There was little to no time between any songs to talk with friends and you had to yell at people a foot away from you. We'll take another go at it again at some point, but it's medium to low on the list to revisit.
