Reviews for Bottleneck

Spent many nights during my time at KU in the 80s catching bands that you couldn't see anywhere else nearby, and the vibe was always electric with great music and friendly staff. Whether it's an all-ages show or just hanging out watching a Jayhawks game, the atmosphere feels laid-back and genuine, with a cool mix of local regulars and strong drinks. It's a spot full of character where new music thrives, and every visit reminds me why it's such a staple in Lawrence's scene.

Spent many nights of my five years of bliss attending KU during the 1980's, enjoying the unique music scene at The Bottleneck under the ownership of Mona, where I discovered new bands and created unforgettable memories with friends.
