Wednesday night is Hawk night at KU, and all the underage college kids come out to play. The Hawk attracts KU's best and brightest freshman female talent; and that fact paired with $1 drinks for almost anything (Jack D's included) makes this place a winner in my book. Â They also have different music/themes in every room; so it's hard not to find something you like.

If you're looking for an army of popped-collar douchebag frat boys, this is the place for you. If you're looking for a gaggle of spoiled, annoying, dumb Johnson County sorostitutes, this is the bar for you. If you're looking for a place where you'll wait for 30 minutes at the bar to get a watered-down drink, this will be your kind of scene. If you're looking for a place to get into a fight and/or roofied, this is your destination. If you're looking to enjoy yourself, look elsewhere.
Review Source:The Jayhawk Cafe (aka The Hawk) is a Lawrence staple. Part of the famed "Bull-Hawk-Wheel" triangle bars, the Hawk is a must for any young Jayhawker. Yes, the crowd tends to be on the younger side but the Hawk's many rooms provide for very different experiences. Upstairs, the patio, the Martini Room and the notorious Boom-Boom Room all have their own feels and flavors. Hard to beat Dollar Night (Wed) for student-friendly drink prices. It's hard to not have a good time at the Hawk, and I'll leave it to your imaginations to figure out what goes on in the Boom-Boom Room!
