LoKal — Restaurant in Hays

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy. It’s not just the lighting, the music, or the perfectly curated atmosphere (though all of that is spot-on); it’s the people. What sets them apart is the way they connect. They remember your name, your favorite drink, maybe even your dog’s name. It’s that rare balance of professionalism and genuine warmth that turns first-timers into regulars. And then there are the owners — the heart and soul of this place. You can tell they’ve poured everything into making it not just a bar, but a community. They’re present, engaged, and always looking for ways to make the experience even better. Whether they’re chatting with guests, helping behind the bar, or just making sure everything runs smoothly, you feel their dedication in every corner...

The Lokal Bar brings a new environment to Hays. The bar has a great location for starters, but I love the options. Most bars you get the usual, drink, dance and drink. At the Lokal, you’ve got dancing, great staff that care about the customers and fun games for all. Let me tell you, if you haven’t played pickle ball with a drink and friends you haven’t spent a good night in Hays. Personally, I appreciate the welcoming staff and ownership. It is so nice to go to a bar in Hays knowing by you will be cared...

LOVEEEEEEEEEEED This bar!! Wish we had something like this in our town! The staff was incredible and super friendly. Great outdoor games/atmosphere and the best drinks. The live band was on point we really enjoyed the music. Had the ability to talk with the owners Tara, Bob and Morgan and they were absolutely wonderful. You can tell they put their whole heart into this place. Go show this bar some love we will...
