The Nest on Ninth

Bars in college towns are a dime a dozen. They're almost as plentiful as hipsters, hippies and Redbox machines! But everyone has a few that are close to their heart. In Lawrence, my favorite has always been the Sandbar (evidence here). The fish. The hurricane. The jukebox. The fruity drinks. The Key West vibe. What's not to love?

Well the Sandbar is still close to my heart, but I do believe I have a new favorite: The Nest on Ninth! I hate to even use the term "bar" because this a classier joint. It's the type of place you would go to have a couple glasses of wine and unwind.

The Nest on Ninth is a rooftop bar on the ninth (top) floor of the Oread Hotel, which is just off campus. The views are unbeatable. And should you find yourself in Lawrence, I highly recommend you stop by.
