The best bars & nightlife in Junction City

“Chill bar offering pizzas, burgers and other classic eats along with a minnow shot souvenir.”

“Relaxed eatery specializing in fried fare and seafood dishes alongside beer cocktails, burgers.”

“Liquid Art Winery & Restaurant is perched high in the Flint Hills, where rocky limestone soils and southern exposure help their vinifera grapes ripen into surprisingly polished wines from old-world varietals. Swing by the tasting room or grab a bite from the restaurant menu, then toast to a very Kansan kind of terroir.”
