West Coast Saloon
- 2222 Iowa Lawrence, KS 66046

Description
One of the better joints in town to shoot some stick, the atmosphere is quiet, but not too quiet. Half a dozen tables, great burgers and a pleasant blend of folks are among the perks at the Saloon.
Bartender and co-owner Bob Gruenwald tops off a drink at the West Coast Saloon at 2222 Iowa, better known by its technical GPS reference point, "behind Hastings." High points are a 30-ft. long bar, grilled PB&J sandwiches and according to the Spring 2004 issue of the sports magazine "Unlimited," one of the top ten burgers in the nation.
Music: The jukebox rotates a variety of tunes but leans towards Top 40 and 80s/90s hits.
Diversions: Dart boards, Adams family pinball and the becoming-hard-to-find foosball in addition to six pool tables and a matching number of television sets including a gigantic projection screen model. Also several table top video games and the ever popular video golf. Snacks! Lots of cool munchies including mini burritos, hot wings, pork tenderloins and several styles of (apparently nationally famous) burgers-plus the grill is hot up until midnight.

Sounds like nattyamerican is a pissy american that has yet to try the best burgers in town instead of listening to hearsay. West Coast Saloon is definitely a towny bar with regular customers (some alcoholics, I suppose) but I've never felt a threatening vibe. Maybe natty just needs to talk to some folks and get to know them instead of judging book covers. I'll continue to go there for the best burgers in Lawrence and the cold beer. Maybe I'm becoming a towny...

I get the feeling you are not welcome here unless you are a regular. The regulars come in every day and drink for hours, seeing as they are all middle aged alchoholics, and rude ones at that. I've also been told the burgers are mostly raw. Enjoy.
