Bourgeois Pig

If I lived in Lawrence, I would totally frequent this place. It is tiny but has a great vibe, friendly staff, and affordable, good Bloody Mary's ($5) on Sundays. Next time I am by, I will be hitting The Pig up!

The expresso was a little bitter, but I love the atmosphere and the people!!

I come across places like this periodically when I travel, and it just makes me all the more sad to live in Indiana. I mean, this is great! Intimate little bar that happens to serve coffee and has free wifi. The beer selection is really good. They only have a few taps, but they have a lot of really high-quality bottles.
I sat at the bar and spent a lot of time talking with the bartender, who was just so adept at what he did, that he was entertaining to watch. He knew a lot about the beer, but also about the cocktails they serve, and could even talk up the coffee when people came out of the afternoon heat to get something on the other end of the sobriety spectrum. You don't see that very much.
I have to mention the cocktails a bit, just because I was so impressed even though I don't normally go that route. They had three jars for infused vodka, one of which contained green chiles. I asked about this and was told that they use it for the bloody mary. I don't like bloody marys, but I wanted one for a moment.
Prices are pretty reasonable. They have daily specials, but I don't think they have a happy hour.
Best part though: coffee shop + bar. I tend to review these places highly when I find them, but I think this may be the best one I've encountered. I could say "They could stand to be a little larger," but I think that would ruin the charm here. If they're full, TS, go somewhere else.
If I lived in Lawrence, I would probably in here at least once a week. And the fact that I live in the "cool college town" in Indiana and they can't get their junk together enough to put something even close to this up, makes it so sad. But I'm sure Kansas already knows they're better than Indiana, so I don't need to elaborate much.
