Johnny On the Job

If you and your friends are out and want to grab a few drinks in a truly comfortable, no-frills environment, then make your way over to Topeka's Matinee Club. Don't let the name fool you, this charmingly low-key nightlife venue is one of those places that makes little effort to draw attention to itself. Instead, the bartenders, waitresses and fellow guests all enjoy the relaxed if somewhat detached mood of the place. Come in, enjoy a few rounds, and feel like you've been at a friend's house who doesn't like to make a big deal about things, but you still manage to have a great time in his company anyway.

Jeremiah Bullfrogs Live is more than just an entertainment venue. This popular Topeka night spot offers not only great live music from some of the best musicians around, but there is also Comedy Night on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Plus, if you're hungry, you will find exactly what your appetite requires on their impressive menu that features sandwiches, appetizers, burgers and salads. And Bullfrogs sports-bar vibe makes it a great place to check out the big game with your friends!

Enjoy a bowling experience that is as classic as it is contemporary when you go for the game-winning strike at Topeka's Gage Bowl. This popular bowling facility features a cool retro charm while offering state-of-the-art scoring and an equally impressive video game arcade. The menu items and drink specials are equally appetizing, too!
