The Wheel - Lawrence

We came by after the KU basketball game. Got to hang out with the college kids for a bit and got pizza and beers. Not many options to sit but it’s a college town bar so no need! Tons of people, great service and great food.

Legendary KU haunt, a must-visit if you’re a first time visitor. The space, the feel, the style all exude what’s best about a campus icon.

I have been here plenty of times and never had a problem. However, tonight I came with a friend of asian origin who had never been to the “Triangle”. I tried to introduce him to all the bars. We waited for roughly 30 minutes until we got thru to the “Wheel.” The bouncer then quickly let me in and then denied my friend immediately saying his ID was fake. My friend is 3 years older then I am and was using a valid state issued ID. I then stated it was real and asked to speak to the manager but was met with people saying they wanted to fight me. This incident was extremely disrespectful and racist. I am disappointed with what this establishment has become.

Just a little place that you could walk into and drink a beer only. No food no nothing. The afternoon I went in they were playing jazz music and I wanted to kill myself

I love the wheel and have been a patron for many years. Tonight I came in and had the rudest,duchiest service I’ve ever received. The wheel does a good job of hiring but they didn’t do so with Tyler. He gave me the rudest attitude I’ve ever received at a bar, and I hope to never receive it again. So much for nice employees.
