  Went here for the 1st time in my life a couple of weeks ago. This is about has hipster as Wichita can get. Books and board games on the wall for people to play. Quite atmosphere, place you go to with some old friends to hang out and remember the good times.

  Nice place for those who needs to save money like me. Very affordable but nice.

  Generous wine pours combined with a lofty selection of Kansas Craft Beers (Tallgrass Brewing Company anyone?) and a smattering of local artists' work means the Vagabond is still Wichita's hipster haven.
  
  It also means you can get drunk, good conversation and a little saucy for cheap.

  This place is woefully mis-categorized. Wine bars DO NOT serve wine from boxes. Really, what else do you need to know?
  
  Still, the bartender was nice, the music was great, and they had a lot of fun board games. The clientele were kinda rough. Not that bad, but I went in expecting "wine bar" and I got "box wine dive".
  
  I don't hate it, but I doubt I'll go back.

  Atmosphere refreshing for Wichita. Very heart of Dorchester on a winter night kind of feeling. Bartender was unfriendly and hurried. I came in an hour before close so it is likely I was slowing down his closing process. Good IPA on tap called Tallgrass.

  Stopped by and found it to be a very relaxing place.  It had several students using the WiFi and studing.   They have the full bar so if in the mood, or a couple of drinks and it can change your mood.  There are a couple tables outside also for nice days like today.  Ordered a coffee today and wasn't impressed with it, didn't taste fresh but it was 4pm.
  
  I liked the place and will stop by again to relax and connect.

  A pretty laid back cafe. With a Full Service Bar. Lot of Local Art up which i like. Seems a lot of Students come to study and such.
  I have visted this place a handful of times & always get the Chocolate Martini!
  Used to work down the street so my co-workers and I would go and relax after a long day at work! Quiet and simple place...

  Classic coffee shop and bar, very much like my favorite Lawrence spots. In fact, I think it was modeled after the Bourgeois Pig in Lawrence. I enjoy the cozy atmosphere (no longer as smoky as it used to be!), although it can be hard to find seating sometimes.  The selection is good for the coffee, better for the bar.
  
  Good for a first date, conversation with friends, or just a quick drink out on the patio (in the summer). They have a great radio feed through XM Radio, which gives the place a funky retro vibe which I enjoy.  The people who frequent the place are pretty interesting and fun as well. I often see students studying or people playing chess or cards on any given night.
  
  Parking can be an issue, but that's nothing new in the 'Ta. Definitely check it out!

  I love Vagabond, it has a full coffee menu as well as fully stocked bar.  I do wish they served more food however.  But the hummus is yummy, although not enough and it comes from N and J's... which is fab.  And they recently have given themselves a face lift complete with new booths/tables and even smoke eaters.  Before I would refrain from going there too much because it was indeed too smoky... but they have since fixed this problem.  My oldest two love, love, LOVE their chai and will actually walk to get it!

  This place is such a hole in the wall. Very dirty and smoky. I feel its kind of seedy too. Some of my friends talked highly about this place and I really don't see anything special about it.

  Oh, the Vag!
  
  When a friend loses her car keys, the quick coffee after work can so easily slide into a drink or two to pass the time to LOTS of drinks to utter, utter mayhem.  All before 11 pm.
  
  And they had the keys the next day.

  This place is suffering from identity crisis. It's a full fledged bar that tries to act like a full fledged cafe. The mix usually doesn't work too well, bar crowds are rowdy, people frequenting cafes are rather sophisticated :) at least I like to think that way, cause I love hanging out at the cafes. So, on my two visits here, I had different kinds of lattes and biscotti. Latte was very bitter for some strange reason. The little lamps on the tables are kinda cool though.
