Barleycorn’s

Best small venue in town! Tons of good shows from locals to national acts. Ho there. It’s badass.

By far my fav neighborhood dive bar. Open Mic, karaōke and trivia nights are all a blast. Love the intimate setting and location. Watched a few great bands so far as well and the sound quality is amazing. See you all there.

Since the remodel this has been my favorite place to go on a weekend. The rustic interior gives it a really unique charm that really helps you escape from your daily routine and that’s something bars and clubs don’t do a lot around here or even fail at. It’s a great place to see live music, comedy or even burlesque or sideshow. Also the recent addition of Karaōke on Tuesday nights makes it one of the best Karaōke spots in town, with an actual stage no less! The drink selection is good and the bar staff is always courteous.
Before Barleycorns, I hesitated to pay to see live music, I’d want to make sure I’d be getting my $ 5 dollars worth but the quality of the acts and the venue have been so great at Barleycorn’s I wont even shrug a $ 10 cover.
It’s totally worth checking out if you have the time but be aware the size of the crowd and the clientele can change depending on what’s happening at Intrust Arena that night.

Quickly becoming one of the best live music venues in town. Barleycorn’s has been bringing in bigger and bigger shows all the time, but still has a nice balance of local and regional acts as well. Plenty going on at Barleycorn’s.
Full bar with draft beer and bottles. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff.
On Wednesday’s they have a live, hosted, bar trivia during happy hour that is free to play and has a $ 25 cash prize for the winning team. It’s fun to meet a couple friends after work and play and have a few drinks.
Many nights there are both earlier and later shows, so it’s not as much of a hangout bar as it is a venue, but it’s still possible to pop in for a quick beer or two from time to time.
Recently renovated and improved it is quite a bit nicer than the Barleycorn’s of old. Great lighting and plenty of personality. There is a back patio if you want to step out and have a smoke, but it’s not quite as much of a hangout as other area bar’s patios.
Overall, if you’re looking for a place to take in some tunes and have a few drinks most nights of the week, Barleycorn’s is your place. Not my first choice if you’re looking for a quite place to have some nice quiet conversation. Parking can sometimes be a little tough if there is something going on at the Intrust Bank Arena which is just down the street.
For live music in Wichita, this should be one of your go to spots!

Home base. Love the bar, love the people that run it, love the constant source for live music.

Best bar in Wichita!!! Fast, friendly bar staff and reasonably priced drinks. The bar is hip and stylish and has a fun atmosphere that’s enjoyable to be in. The bar recently changed ownership and went through a significant and much needed remodel.
The owners and employees are deeply involved in and passionate about the Wichita music scene so there are great live bands performing more often than not. There’s also a pool table and cool, retro pinball machines for entertainment. The bathrooms are clean and there’s a spacious smoking patio out back.
Street parking in front of the bar is limited but there are parking spots around the corner and an entire parking lot behind the building.

Cool 30 foot wooden bar. Great selection of beers on tap– I hate bottled beer. Bar keep great dude!

This is a great local bar at my favorite intersection of town. Recent change of ownership has a regular schedule of great bands coming in. Pool tables for $ 0.75, friendly bar staff — just a great place all around.

Drinks are priced right and and you never know what is going to be happening at the microphone. We had stand up comedy folks there on a Tuesday night. The guys weren’t great, but they were at least up there… trying to polish up there jokes and delivery.

Good drinks, the best bloody mary made from scratch, good drink specials and friendly bartenders. Did not try the food. Bartender informed us they have live music and open mic nights too.
