Really great place! I was referred here by a local to grab some lunch and I’m very happy I took his advice! Excellent space and atmosphere, excellent food and excellent service. No complaints at all. I only had a burger and a side of Shishito peppers but I’ll be back to try the other menu items as soon as I can!

Great atmosphere, awesome employees, huge beer selection too. Ask the bartender to make Hunter’s special gin cocktail, you won’t regret it.
They were also kind enough to recently host my band and two others for a wild night of good drinks and loud music, we had an excellent time!
I should mention their hours of operation have changed recently, and the kitchen has been closed as well, but have heard rumors it’s coming back in due time.

Wow! Definitely the best place for food in Russell Kansas! I recommend the privately retained council, the apple salad and the shroom mac!

Amazing addition to the town of Russell that has had limited dining options in the past. Stopped in last night for a steak. The ribeye was amazing! The side of Mac and cheese was pretty awesome too, as well as the Bloody Mary. Loved the menu, the names of the dishes are great, someone obviously has spent a lot of time pulling all the details together for a great experience. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great and fun atmosphere, we will definitely be back!

My mother grew up in Russell and recently moved back. I came from Denver to visit and ate here this last Friday. Limited menu, but very good. I was very impressed with the decor. Staff was clearly new, but also clearly trying their best to learn the system. I personally think this place is just what this town needs. Cannot wait to go back and try the burgers!

We shared an order that included shishito peppers, the Ice burger and cheddar chips. The peppers were delicious, but there were too many for just the two of us. A half serving would have been plenty. The waitress had the chef cut the Ice burger in half for us and brought it out on two plates. It was perfectly cooked and one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. I wasn’t a fan of the chips (they were cut a little too thick for me), but my husband liked them. I will definitely eat here again if I’m in the area.

Just worked a 16 hour shift, was informed from a friend that this is the place to go for a good drink and some food.
I really enjoy the city environment even though its in a small country town.
Only had a few drinks. Yet to try the food.
Will be stopping by for some taste of what they cook soon.
Service is great and bartenders are excellent at what they do.
It really brings life to a town that’s stuck in the past. Music is absolutely what I needed to hear in a bar, dont get me wrong I like country but I need to hear some pop and hip hop when I want to relax and have fun. Listing to how my neighbor stole my cow sucks. Good job on the music.
Thank you for your hard work and effort. You permanently have a new and regular customer.
Cheers.

This place is the definition of heaven sent. We were driving out west when a storm like we have never known stopped our travels. We found solace and comfort here, the bartenders were very kind and hospitable. Everyone acted like it was just another Wednesday. They had great drinks, great food, great prices. The stars lined up for us to be here. Definitely worth a stop.

I was absolutely floored by this place. I’m a hunter and a foodie (weird combination but I deal with it the best I can. I’m from out of state but no stranger to Russell. I took my dad who is very much the traditional out of town hunter. He agreed to eat at The Bar at my request and he absolutely devoured and loved the burger. My turn, craft beer selection was on point, staff was friendly at attentive, completely understood that I was a talker and my dad wasn’t (though my dad opened up by the end of our evening) and finally my burger was cooked to perfection and I was a huge fan of the fries. If we were staying longer I would absolutely eat there again .

I liked the food but feel the “side” should be included with the sandwich. How much are you really spending for those French fries?
Hubby had the green chili fries. What he was expecting was green chili smothered fries. He did order a side of green chili soup and poured it over the top. It was then what he expected. Little suggestion- make the fries and top with some onion, cheese and green chili (or serve those on the side for customer preference)
I liked the draft beer choice and overall was happy with the food. It just needs some tweaking.
