    Live music Intimate venue Historic Affordable drinks Pool tables
    A staple in downtown Lawrence since 1985, The Bottleneck is a live music venue that has hosted acts like Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, and The Pixies. The intimate 350-capacity space offers a close-up experience with performers. The bar's interior underwent a facelift in January 2003, adding a second tier for better stage views and new seating around the pool tables. Despite these updates, it retains its authentic character with great sound, affordable drinks, and a dark atmosphere.
