The best live music in Lawrence
by mgyvr
It may not be the nicest bar in town, but the drinks are cheap and the music is nearly always the best you'll find! Before the show or during the set break you can browse photographs of some of the legendary bands who have graced the stage at the Bottleneck. The best local, regional and national touring bands frequent this venue, and witnessing a show at 'the neck' is truly an intimate experience!
- Pros: Cheap drinks and great music, what more do you need?
- Cons: Unfortunately no bar can have a great show EVERY night, but the 'neck comes close!

A Quality Hole in Larry
by lcimino8
Larryville is the home of the Lawrence High School Chesty Lions, and what better place to show Larry pride than at one of the town's best bars, The Bottleneck. They serve stiff drinks for kids who want to get drunk fast, not to mention the choice mix of tunes that can be heard on any given night. Several of the Larry bands that play there aren't half bad either... Full Feature especially.
- Pros: easy parking, cheap college drinks, good shots
- Cons: loud, uncomfortable seating
