    Sports bar Historic Burgers Pizza Speakeasy
    Established in 1953, Johnny's Tavern in North Lawrence is a local institution known for its world-famous burgers and the longest-running tap in town. The two-story brick building at 401 N. 2nd Street has a rich history, evolving from a grocery store and hotel in 1910 to a pool hall, gin joint, and eventually the beloved tavern it is today. The upstairs 'Up & Under' bar offers a speakeasy vibe, perfect for private events. The menu features American classics like burgers, sandwiches, and stone-baked New York-style pizzas. Whether you're a KU student, local resident, or visitor, Johnny's Tavern provides a welcoming atmosphere for all.
