Oscar's

Good dive bar close to Washburn Campus

Always a great place to stop by, have a beer, friendly conversation, play some Keno if you want, and just enjoy a peaceful adult beverage, with nice people or sit quietly and be ignored. Whatever your desired outcome is Oscars is a GREAT PLACE to enjoy a drink at a bar and just escape for a short couple hours.

I arrived in Topeka for the first time and found Oscar's or did Oscar's find me?!?! The bartender (Sunday 12/1) was amazing, friendly and enough banter to keep you laughing. The locals were welcoming and engaging and they seem to like sarcasm and banter. Between the staff and locals I felt like I lived in Topeka all my life and this was MY regular place. I had the a bacon cheeseburger and fries and very tasty (no limp fries, nice and crispy), the burger was an amazing dive bar burger! It's a friendly place so like in New Orleans only one rule - Be Nice or Go Home. And if its busy and you order food just know the bartender is the chef too at times so use patience (I received my food - fast) and like I always recommend, Tip the staff and bartender is nice and they will take care of you. OH, and the locals if you are new will guide you on places to go and NOT go, like a good neighbor. Thank you Oscar's Family for a wonderful visit!!! Cheers l'éléphant

Neighborhood dive ran by great people. Plus my pug loves their fries. ud83dude06ud83eudd29

Went here after seeing reviews for good late night bar food after traveling through later in the evening On New Years. Bartender appeared to be more interested in watching TV and playing on her phone than providing any service; however, it seemed she was the only staff member present--which was not completely a surprise as it was a holiday. Really wanted to experience this place as it was recommended by locals, sadly left disappointed. Next time I'm in Topeka, maybe I'll give them a second chance.
