    Excellent bang for your buck on drinks. I love that there booths encapsulate your group and feels more private. Ambience was a 10! The snack tray with that mac salad? Shut the front door! So good. Staff was cool, too. This is why it's one of my absolute favorite places to go!

    Fell in love with Lava & Tonic when I lived in Wichita, and now I have to swing by whenever I’m back in town. Great drinks, great food, incredible atmosphere, and top notch service. Can’t ask for more!

    We came in for drinks to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was so fun and we enjoyed that it was quiet enough to still have conversations! We didn’t eat this time but will definitely be back again!!
