👍👍 I was NOT expecting this place to be a venue but we pulled up and sure enough a live band was playing. How cool is that! The bar tender took her time to chat with me, very friendly, very cool place. It felt like home to an alt chick with tattoos and colored hair. People often mention bands, music, Great, live, time,

    Great place to discover new and upcoming bands, don't forget to bring earplugs!!! You can also get them at from the bartender if they don't run out.

    Great place for us musicians to come play! I've played here several times over the years in different bands and been here to see quite a few also. The crowd is always fun and the staff is friendly.

    Wonderful service, grungy scene. The arcade is a really good change of pace if you aren't too fond of live bands.

    They have the best live bands and you can talk to them like family I love going when I want to get away from home I wish they had a pool table 😁 Lol lol 😺🤣 and they don't have food

    Love this little spot! It may be tiny but it's full of life and offers great live music👍

    Kirby's is ALWAYS a trip. It's an important venue for live music and the singer/songwriter types. I used to play there often 40 years ago in two Bluegrass bands. Now that I've moved back to Wichita, I find myself there a few times a month. Lots of fun.

    GREAT PLACE TO GO TO CATCH LIVE MUSIC ALL MOST EVERY NIGHT. PLACE AS A LONG HISTORY OF NO COVER CHANGE EVER!!!!!!! PIZZA AND SNACK FOOD. MUST BE 21 TO ENTER. THEY HAVE RECENTLY OPEN UP ONE OF THE MOST UP TO DATE PINBALL ROOMS WITH "FLIPSIDE"HAPPINESS AND LAUGHS TO HAVE FOR THE NEXT 50 PLUS YEAR'S .. TIP THE BANDS AND BARTENDERS. WITHOUT THEM WICHITA WOULD BE A BORING PLACE .

  • 4/5 Marcus L. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite a bit has changed since I was there last. But the "artist bar" vibe is still going strong. Glad that hasn't changed.

  • 5/5 RoadhouseGuitarWorks 2 years ago on Google
    So much history in this room...all the bands...all the good times...I had to stop by when I was in town...

  • 5/5 Tim H. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    This place is a national treasure and still one of the top dive bars in the country. There just aren't too many places that feature live music 20+ nights a month. While it still has its hole-in-the-wall, dive bar charm, it has been improved with a better beer selection, LMNO pizza and a much cleaner vibe inside and out than it had in days gone by. Don't worry, though: You still get to see stars if you turn the light off in the bathroom.
