Carlitos ChávezNovember 18, 2017Great atmosphere, service it's superb. Ask for the local drafts, Community Mosaic IPA it's exquisite. Don't forget to try the Cuban Burrito with some fries.
Ricky PottsOctober 3, 2012You must order a Donkey Punch. It's fruity and delicious! House drink that "only hurts for a minute". Oh, and it includes moonshine!
Great sports bar! My personal fav...food is delicious and service is usually quick! Usually packed so you may have to wait for a table or just sit at the bar...worth the wait.
Brian PApril 27, 2015Nice and open, in a great location in the State-Thomas area. Good TV's and a fun environment. Can be hot in the summer because of the layout.
Patrick McDonaghApril 24, 2016Great place to catch a game. Beware, they're associated with kU, so stay away during college basketball season unless you want to deal with a bunch of beakers being obnoxious.- Kevin CMarch 31, 2013Really cool "open air" bar in east uptown! Lots of tv's. Great Friendly Service! Also make one of the best potato salads in the entire world
Ryan StephensAugust 25, 2013Awesome bar with great service. Not as pretentious as most of Uptown. Summer beer is delicious and refreshing.
CW WhyteOctober 19, 2019Nice Atmosphere! Chicken Strips were AWESOME! Great Patio if you’re into that kind of thing
Great spot to watch a game. Try the jalapeño appetizer things- delish!
Get the tacos! Great patio sports bar to watch football games on Sunday
N8 SNovember 11, 2010Cool open air environment, good service at the bar, dive feel with all the up-town frill the "snooties" love, too.
Teresa DeanJuly 4, 2011The Smokey Guacamole is amazing. The Pulled Pork sandwich is really good too!!
The bartenders Eddie and Leigh Ann are great and will take care of you!
Try the deep PB&J....heaven!!!!! Make sure you get it for dessert because it's sweet!!
Come for the beer and sports, stay for the magic tricks!
- dele deleJune 22, 2011It took me three trips to realize that this place was not called "The Naughty Donkey". I think that speaks to the quality of the drinks. The joint gets a stamp of approval.
