Lounges in Lawrence

Harbinger is Lawrence's most sophisticated cocktail destination — a Massachusetts Street bar with an outstanding seasonal cocktail menu and the kind of genuine culinary seriousness that makes Lawrence one of the most surprising food and beverage destinations in the American heartland. The University of Kansas faculty and the creative community that Lawrence attracts create a bar clientele more sophisticated than the city's Great Plains location might suggest.

Lawrence's Massachusetts Street cocktail scene is the most progressive in Kansas — a University of Kansas college town where outstanding cocktail bars and craft breweries serve one of Kansas's most intellectually vibrant communities. Lawrence's remarkable combination of KU's world-class arts and humanities programs, its extraordinary music scene, and its genuine progressive values creates a cocktail lounge environment of unusual Kansas cultural depth.

Quinton's Bar & Deli is Lawrence's most beloved neighborhood bar — a Massachusetts Street dive that has served the University of Kansas community with cold beer and honest sandwiches since 1979. Its extraordinary longevity in Lawrence's competitive bar market reflects the enduring appeal of a straightforward bar that does everything well without pretension or gimmickry.
