Free State Brewing Company, located at 636 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, Kansas and nestled in the heart of the entertainment district, is the home of one of several local breweries in town. Known for its Wheat State Brew and great patrons, Free State Brewing Company sits in a class by itself.
The first thing you'll notice when you get to the restaurant is its great location and decor from outside to in and top to bottom. Everything about this place screams brewery, but it isn't dirty or repugnant. The casks and brewing machinery sit behind panes of glass that only add to the aesthetics of the restaurant.
As a brewery, the best thing about the place should be the beer. And it is. With several year round staples and at least one seasonal brew on tap, there is something on the menu for everyone. No matter what beer you have poured, you will not be disappointed. And if you like it so much you want to take it home, they have "growlers" on demand.
The food offerings match the variety and the quality of its beers. Whether it is a hearty burger or a pasta dish that whets your appetite, Free State will have something on the menu for you. And with daily specials, including utilizing native Kansas ingredients, every trip is an opportunity to experience something new.
As would be expected, the service of the staff matches the quality of its offerings. Quick to help and quick to serve, in all my dining experiences here I have never once felt the need to hold back a tip for lack of service. The wait staff here, although matching the younger demographic of the towns nearby university, tend to be much more experienced and interested in providing an enjoyable dining experience.
When you decide to visit, call first 785-843-4555, because you may have to wait for a table, and they will put you on the list before you get there. Don't fret about the wait, though, as that provides an opportunity to savor the libations flowing from the beer taps. And with a generously sized front patio, it may actually enhance your experience to sit out there for a drink, chat with the locals, and do a little people watching. Free State Brewing Company is one of the best places to truly get a feel for what the city of Lawrence has to offer.
