![]() ESPN named Allen Fieldhouse the loudest arena in the country and it was chosen by prominent sportswriter, Mark Whicker, as “the best place in America to watch college basketball.” But you don’t need me or any other sportswriter to tell you how magical this place is. The Fieldhouse opened in 1955 and is home to 16,300 of the rowdiest fans in all of college sports. ![]() Kansas currently has the longest streak of consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (25) and one the most remarkable Conference Championship streaks (11), second to only John Wooden’s UCLA dynasty. The program has also produced a bevy of NBA players from Clyde Lovellette, to Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning, Kirk Hinrich, Mario Chalmers, and most recently, Andrew Wiggins. The tradition continued with some of the best coaches in the league including Phog Allen, Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Larry Brown, Roy Williams, and the current king – Bill Self. For those that don’t know, Kansas’ founding Father, James Naismith brought the game of basketball to KU. There’s nothing quite like spending an afternoon or evening in Allen Fieldhouse, home to a 5-time National Championship team. Create your own pub-crawl hopping between Louise’s (scooners for days), Quinton’s (the ice bar), Jazzhaus ($1 Tuesday’s on almost anything), The Sandbar (indoor hurricanes), Tonic (for the millennials), and Free State Brewing Company (try the Copperhead Pale Ale). Home to many things beyond just bars, it’s where you’ll find Lawrence’s concert halls – The Granada, Liberty Hall, shops – Shark’s Surf Shop, and restaurants, but it’s the bars that bring character to the area. Whether you’re jamming out with the KU Band on game days or grubbing Wheel Piz’ with Pizza Pete, the Wheel is a guaranteed good time. Stumbling distance from the Hawk is the Wagon Wheel, an old wooden interior bar where you can find signatures from your brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, and even yourself on a night that may be a little hazy. ![]() The Hawk is actually five rooms in one – the main room, the pine room, the deck, the martini room, and quintessential of any college bar – the BOOM BOOM room. While the Bull has undergone heavy facelifts over the past ten years, the Bull and the Wheel are two of the most famous (and most ESPN-referenced) bars in America. These three bars are not technically “on campus,” but just off of Jayhawk Blvd. We may not be a legend yet, but, we’re gonna keep tryin’.Talk to any KU grad and they will speak fondly about the two stretches of bars that consumed much of their money and pride while in school.
