Lawrence
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Lawrence, Kansas
Lawrence is a classic college town built around the University of Kansas, and its bar scene reflects that: BarFinder lists 82 venues, led by bars, sports bars, and pubs, with a real wine and craft beer presence too. Massachusetts Street, the city's historic downtown strip, is lined with spots like The Cave and Duffy's Bar and Lounge, while John Brown's Underground nods to the city's abolitionist Bleeding Kansas-era history. It's a scene built as much around game days and live music as campus nightlife.
