John Brown's Underground

cocktails & spirits with integrity in downtown Lawrence

[Mackenzie Clark @mclarknews]

After tonight's meeting, it looks like the bar is safe for now — and other businesses in similar situations might be, too.

ICYMI, here's some background on what @jbuglawrence proposed. ▶️

[Mackenzie Clark @mclarknews]

Dante Colombo, managing partner at @jbuglawrence, told #LawrenceCityComm he was born and raised here, and he first spoke to the commission at age 9 when his class wanted to paint a mural on a building downtown.
“I hope to continue be a part of the story.”

@addd_08 @LawrenceKSTimes @KsScanner Thank you for asking! This will come down to a vote from the 5-member City Commission, so the best thing you can do is express your support for our proposal. This link has contact info for the commissioners: https://t.co/KexE5nLx5G

[John Brown's Underground @jbuglawrence]

We understand that this can be a divisive issue, and that our proposal is only one part of a bigger conversation, but we truly appreciate the outpouring of community support.

John Brown’s Underground, a craft cocktail lounge in downtown Lawrence, has made a creative addition to the local bar scene since it opened in 2014. But a city code designed to limit liquor sales downtown is now threatening the business’s future.

We could not be more appreciative of the light that @LawrenceKSTimes has shone on this issue, and on our proposed variance to the city code. Per usual, @mclarknews and her team have done truly impressive reporting work.

Don’t miss out!

[John Brown's Underground @jbuglawrence]

Really proud to be Kansans tonight

[Joshua Johnson @joshualistening]

BREAKING: @NBCNews projects that Kansas will reject constitutional amendment to remove abortion protections. Kansas secretary of state estimates, anecdotally, that turnout for today's election could be almost 50%.

[Dante Colombo @hanging_sliders]

Make no mistake: @lawrenceks cares deeply for Barbados Rum, and we are so lucky to be a friend to those who produce and advocate for it

[Thaddeus Sealy @ThaddeusSealy]

Fantastic cocktail menus, when I grow up I want to be like you guys!

[John Brown's Underground @jbuglawrence]

🥺 incredible words coming from you. We cannot wait to visit again soon! https://t.co/hHd31pEXQp

[John Brown's Underground @jbuglawrence]

You have our support, forever and always 😎

Thank you for the constant education, and for remaining such a force for good. Can’t wait to drink a @DoorlysUK + Clayton’s Kola Tonic again with you soon (and maybe even eat some chefette’s!)

[Thaddeus Sealy @ThaddeusSealy]

@jbuglawrence A step in the right direction and long overdue, we truly need to stop giving way to the leeches.

[John Brown's Underground @jbuglawrence]

With each and every cocktail that we serve, maintaining integrity in the spirits that we use is our foremost concern.

Barbados Rum has long been a leader in setting this example.

@foursquare_rum @StNicholasBds @mountgayrum

[John Brown's Underground @jbuglawrence]

Last night’s announcement is massive news for native rum producers in Barbados, as they stand committed to protecting their heritage and intellectual property in the face of opportunistic foreign conglomerates. https://t.co/1n0i4RiMrz

[Thaddeus Sealy @ThaddeusSealy]

I drink rum, I cook with rum.

Pretty much part of my DNA one could say but nothing prepared me when meeting the global rum family.

The amount of people who believe in Barbados and it's Rum is mind fucking boggling.

Last night's press release is like Christmas for many.

Today is the last day to register before the August 2nd vote!

[Raven Book Store @ravenbookstore]

It’s the last day to register to vote in KS for the 8/2 primary, when KS will be the first state to vote on abortion since the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Anyone can vote on 8/2, regardless of party affiliation or lack thereof.
