This place is a cool discovery!Their selling point is how intimate they make the atmosphere by not making it such an advertised place on the outside. The only reason I discovered it is by word of mouth.I will say that this place does have a funny smell when you come in but the drinks are worth it!They come in a variety of crazy cool and creative cups and I 10/10 recommend it to anyone looking for a new bar to try.Be careful of just showing up though because you have to be on a waitlist.

Had a little bit of an issue with the host at the time told they were booked. Gave my number just in case anything opened. I sent enough friend and they had quite a few tables open and said no one showed. But I never received a call. Other than that our server was great and the drinks were fantastic.

We loved this place!! Many choices for fun tropical drinks available. Fun place with an island escape vibe! Advice that you make a reservation, we were glad that we did! It fills up quickly! We will definitely return and will refer friends and family to experience Lava and Tonic!

Words cannot express how awesome this place is. Admittedly hard to find you just have to look for the logo on the door. My friends and I were served by Ashley S and Will. They were very attentive and fun to talk to. Ask Ashley for her specialty, it tastes just like a Capri sun.If you like pineapple on pizza, than you need to come here and try. The atmosphere here is amazing and it's a must for a casual date night or good vibes with friends.

My buddies and I that haven’t seen each other for years went here tonight and the vibes were absolutely unmatched. Cool atmosphere that isn’t overwhelming, drinks are AMAZING, and the bartending staff were flawless. If Ashley and/or Will are working the bar, you’re in for a great time. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

This was my first time at this bar. And it was a great experience. It’s a cute little bar with fun drinks and a very chill atmosphere. I didn’t try the food as I had already eaten prior to arriving but the drinks were good and a fun time was had all around.

Didn't order any food items but I have enjoyed every drink I have ordered from this intimate bar. Great mood and atmosphere.Parking: If you go late enough you can park across the street in the restaurant parking lot
Drinks are a little pricy but for the extravagance of it and how strong it was it was definitely worth it. The ambiance is superb but if you don't like surf rock then it might not be your cup of tea.

If you want to go to a bar for any type of special occasion or date night in Wichita this is it. The decor and drinks are just perfect, better than some tiki bars I've seen in other bigger cities. The atmosphere is thorough, down to the music, it's the perfect tiki bar. Fairly quiet too, although that's probably because it's relatively small. The service is also spot on. They let us bring a small cake and our own plates and forks to celebrate a birthday there.

First time visiting Lava & Tonic last night. It was amazing. Me and my friend had a great time. We look forward to revisiting this bar in the future! Our favorite bar in Wichita so far.

Had a girls night out for my friend's birthday, which was way long over due! We each had 1 to 3 drinks, each just as good of not better than the last. Very accommodating with the allergies we had amongst our group, and service was great. Would highly recommend for an appetizer/cocktails stop on a might out.
