Louise's West

Best even with no kvaz

After making excuse after excuse that I was never "drunk enough" to go to Louise's West, I found myself here last Friday night. The run-down location (why's it in the middle of a neighborhood??) may look totally shady, but I found that I probably didn't need to be "drunk enough" to come here - it's a pretty standard college town dive with slightly-sticky tables, random holes in the furniture, and old school music blaring...what's not to love? Plus, they carry Johnny Walker whiskey.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't come here with the girls for a swanky night out but for the other more chill nights, there ain't nothin' wrong with a good old dive.

There is no better place to go in Lawrence on a nice afternoon. Period. Schooners of cheap beer, served ice cold by friendly bartenders, on an open porch. All you need is a bit of sunshine, some friends, and a gentle breeze, and you've the recipe for the perfect saturday. Or Monday. Especially the days that end in ... oh you know.
