Auntie Mae's Parlor Reviews | Manhattan Restaurants & Bars

0

My favorite bar since I was old enough to drink. Â You won't find a better mixed drink for the money anywhere in town, & the staff is always friendly in a layed back atmosphere. Â Just a great bar with great people.

This place is one of the real classics of Aggieville. The basement area feels like a real speakeasy, and has some really great bands that will come play now and then (check out the posters, which are always vintage looking and really cool). The staff is always friendly, and the place is full of interesting characters...the good kind. Also, they often have firkins from Tallgrass Brewing Company of some experimental and fun beers that they sell until the keg runs out. There are pool tables on the main floor, but to really get the Auntie Mae's experience you need to be downstairs.

PS, come here on your birthday and you can do the Drink-o, like Plinko, game to decide what birthday shot you'll have. I got a nice Jager for my 21st.

Don't come here. It's the one cool bar left in Manhattan, and I don't want you spoiling it.

...oh, who am I kidding. Nicest people, good drinks, good music, specials... A great place to unwind.

Auntie Mae's is hard to describe. Â It's a hole in the wall, mostly in a dark basement, with occasional live bands. Â Sounds kind of scary.
It's also one of the friendliest, coolest bars in Aggieville. Â This may surprise some, but it's pretty popular with the local gay and lesbian community. Â It's not remotely a "gay" bar, just very friendly and open to all. Â When you walk in, don't be put off by what you see. Â Grab a stool, start chatting with your neighbor and you'll probably have a great time.

I visited Auntie Maes several years ago with some friends that lived in Manhattan, prior to that I'd heard of it as sort of a local legend (when I attended KSU but was too young to drink). Â Recently my brother and I went there while in town to hang out. Â I went in intending to only drop in for an hour before heading to our hotel for an early morning, we ended up shutting the place down.
The place is a perfect example of what to expect in a bar. Â They have the local brew (Tallgrass ale) on tap, the atmosphere is authentic, and the lighting is perfect for an intimate party setting. Â I'm definitely not what you'd call a socialite, but while there I made some friends just from hanging out for an evening.
Although now based in Wichita, if I lived in Manhattan, I would probably end up calling Auntie Mae's home.

Yes, it's a dungeon.
It's a take-it-or-leave-it kind of place.
Excellent jukebox - kudos for marching to a better beat!
I love the happy hour tacos - cheap and hit the spot.
Good selection of beer and liquor.
Grungy, dark and fun - if you dont like any of those 3 attributes - dont go!
Dont be surprised if you see Willy Wildcat whip through here and show-off his 'guns' or the marching band's impromptu takeover of the bar.
I am not sure if Manhattan is now smoke free - but I did always leave there smelling like an ashtray in the past.

I loved this place. It had a good mix of Mil, wanna-be hipsters, bikers and more. If I didn't walk down the stairs to go in it could have easily been hiding downstairs in St Marks (NYC). Cool hang out and decent drinks. The juke box also has a good selection for Kansas.

I think this place is dark as a dungeon and when I complained about my drink, they refused to correct their mistake or even offer a replacement.
Bad juju
