One of my favorite bars in the world. No trip to Aggieville is complete without stopping at Mae’s!

The best bar in Manhattan, KS. There, I said it. The fact that I graduated college when anticipated is still a mystery to me, as I lived two blocks for Mae’s during my final year at K-State. For the most part, the staff and clientele here are a little older and alternative — in the best possible way. Everyone is super friendly. Drinks are cheap(I’m looking at you, PBR cans) and strong if you opt for something mixed. There’s a pool table up top if you want to play a game or two — the bar keeps quarters stocked, making it easy to swap out your cash. If you wander to the basement, the vibe is even cozier and there’s a photo booth to commemorate your visit to MHK, or just another night of adventures with friends. Grab a booth if there’s one open, and don’t let it go! Check out the events Mae’s hosts — they used to have a poetry slam during the week(highly recommend) and are always bringing in live music.

What a great place! Cool basement bar that gets you away from the young, dance club crowd. It’s a unique experience compared to the other bars in the ville.

Stiff drinks, great atmosphere, awesome staff. If you like to enjoy good convo and adult beverages… This will be your new favorite spot. They have WiFi and will even custom create the drink for you. Happy hour Sunday –Thursday 4pm-7pm is a can’t miss. $ 1.50 wells– when I was visiting. They have TVs and will take great care of you.

This is the coolest bar in Manhattan. I would choose this joint over any of the brand new bars with no personality. Love this place.

The basement of Auntie Mae’s is a very cool and unique atmosphere unlike anything you’ll find in Manhattan currently. The booths, low lighting, and strong drinks(tarantula, supposedly the strongest drink in Aggieville) make for a good time. Plus they actually wait on you when you’re at a booth so you don’t have to actually go up and fight everyone at the bar. Overall a good bar and will be back.

So many good times at this bar. The basement bar is awesome. The drinks are strong and the crowd is always fun. This was me and my friends go to place when we were in college.

We were passing through Manhattan and stopped here for a drink and to hear some live music. This is a great place. The atmosphere is laid back and fun, and the music was awesome. Auntie Mae’s made our night in Manhattan super fun and memorable!

Auntie Mae’s is a basement bar with some great classic cocktails and a few of their own. Right now they are featuring a home infused melon basil rum. Their 3 – 7 happy hour is $ 1.25 wells and… BRANDNEWBADASSBATHROOMS!!!

Passed through Manhattan and went out with a friend for a night. We visited several bars throughout the evening but Auntie Mays was by far the place I would call home if I lived there. Great atmosphere, crowd was mature and friendly, staff were good, drinks fairly stiff and priced ok. The blues band that night was great. Overall a neat place that feels classy and homey at the same time. Love the wood.

This place is one of the real classics of Aggieville. The basement area feels like a real speakeasy, and has some really great bands that will come play now and then(check out the posters, which are always vintage looking and really cool). The staff is always friendly, and the place is full of interesting characters… the good kind. Also, they often have firkins from Tallgrass Brewing Company of some experimental and fun beers that they sell until the keg runs out. There are pool tables on the main floor, but to really get the Auntie Mae’s experience you need to be downstairs. PS, come here on your birthday and you can do the Drink-o, like Plinko, game to decide what birthday shot you’ll have. I got a nice Jäger for my 21st.

Auntie Mae’s is hard to describe. It’s a hole in the wall, mostly in a dark basement, with occasional live bands. Sounds kind of scary. It’s also one of the friendliest, coolest bars in Aggieville. This may surprise some, but it’s pretty popular with the local gay and lesbian community. It’s not remotely a «gay» bar, just very friendly and open to all. When you walk in, don’t be put off by what you see. Grab a stool, start chatting with your neighbor and you’ll probably have a great time.

I visited Auntie Maes several years ago with some friends that lived in Manhattan, prior to that I’d heard of it as sort of a local legend(when I attended KSU but was too young to drink). Recently my brother and I went there while in town to hang out. I went in intending to only drop in for an hour before heading to our hotel for an early morning, we ended up shutting the place down. The place is a perfect example of what to expect in a bar. They have the local brew(Tallgrass ale) on tap, the atmosphere is authentic, and the lighting is perfect for an intimate party setting. I’m definitely not what you’d call a socialite, but while there I made some friends just from hanging out for an evening. Although now based in Wichita, if I lived in Manhattan, I would probably end up calling Auntie Mae’s home.

Yes, it’s a dungeon. It’s a take-it-or-leave-it kind of place. Excellent jukebox — kudos for marching to a better beat! I love the happy hour tacos — cheap and hit the spot. Good selection of beer and liquor. Grungy, dark and fun — if you dont like any of those 3 attributes — dont go! Dont be surprised if you see Willy Wildcat whip through here and show-off his ‘guns’ or the marching band’s impromptu takeover of the bar. I am not sure if Manhattan is now smoke free — but I did always leave there smelling like an ashtray in the past.

I loved this place. It had a good mix of Mil, wanna-be hipsters, bikers and more. If I didn’t walk down the stairs to go in it could have easily been hiding downstairs in St Marks(NYC). Cool hang out and decent drinks. The juke box also has a good selection for Kansas.

I think this place is dark as a dungeon and when I complained about my drink, they refused to correct their mistake or even offer a replacement. Bad juju

This is where I hang out back home. Don’t go here. It is not to be tainted.
