Located in Lawrence’s historic Eldridge Hotel, the Jayhawker has the feel of an old boys’ club, with wood paneling, sports memorabilia and friendly bartenders. Vintage Jayhawk and Guinness posters line the walls that aren’t taken up by the great views — perfect for people watching — of Massachusetts Street. Specials, including half-price martinis, draw a crowd, as do the jazz bands that play every Wednesday. Flat screens flank the u-shaped bar, where you can sample a meal from the hotel restaurant or order cheap, small-portion appetizers on weekday afternoons.
