If you can’t catch the Jayhawks at Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse, our readers say Johnny’s Tavern is the best place take in a game. With its big TVs, legendary burgers, speciality pizzas and long list of libations, Johnny’s caters to fans of all tastes.

Celebrating its 60th year in 2013, Johnny’s has two Lawrence locations — in North Lawrence and out west on Wakarusa Drive. Since its inception, it’s branched out to Johnson County and Kansas City’s Power & Light District. And while each location has its own personality, both Lawrence locations are perfect places for Jayhawk fans to roost and take in a game.
