The Bourgeois Pig

Definitely a must in lawrence. Even as a native, I love coming here. There’s not always seating but it’s worth it even to stand or sit outside.

KU football weekend. Late night stop for a drink. Small cozy bar with friendly crowd. Bar tenders not that friendly unless you were a regular patron. Sat at bar and enjoyed talking to others waiting to order drinks. Didn't notice any food options

The Bougie Pig makes some of the best coffee in Lawrence — truly. They use Repetition Coffee, and for whatever reason, it always tastes perfect here in a way other spots don’t quite nail. The place can get very busy and crowded, which might be why the vibe sometimes feels a bit cold, like you’re not ‘cool enough’ to be there. Still, the coffee is consistently amazing, and I hope one day the atmosphere matches the quality of what they serve.

A true gem of a find on an aimless wander through Lawrence. Lively patio outside, open seats around the bar inside with dim lighting and a chill soundtrack - a great space to disappear for a minute. The butter washed gin vodka pickle brine cracked pepper martini was the perfect cap to a perfect summer weeknight vibe.

This is a cozy spot for craft cocktails or specialty beer. I was visiting from North Carolina and was very impressed by the bar service here. Neighborhood is very clean with great pizza near by. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Lawrence.
