The Legendary Boobie Trap Bar (est. 1993) — Restaurant in Topeka

Great sound system for shows and karaoke, best karaoke setup in town. There’s some great local bands (psychic panda, our lives yesterday to name a few) that always deliver, and some must-see out-of-towners like Crunk Witch that come through every time they’re in the area. Shows are usually just on Friday/Saturday, with karaoke or the sporadic event the rest of the days. Karaoke setup is wonderful & there are multiple monitors displaying lyrics and usually the karaoke person is good at adjusting the mix for people too quiet/too loud. Song selection is larger than just about anywhere else. There are a few pool tables in an upper area.

Service can be hit or miss depending on who’s bartender, there’s been a lot of bartenders over the years and 80% of them are absolute fantastic at their jobs though, shoutout to Brandy for always being great. There’s no food except a vending machine.

Atmosphere is mostly good, if there’s a problem specifically at the bar with someone being an issue there the owners are able to deal with it swiftly, for the most part. I’ve been significantly less in the past few years than I have in the past and I’ve seen an increase in fights, however they’re usually handled pretty quickly. Cliquey crowds & poor attitudes towards assault victims from management & staff have resulted in at least two dozen regulars no longer coming or only coming sporadically. Most other bars in town likely have these issues too though.

The broken down deck has been repaired, you are no longer at risk of drunkenly twisting an ankle in a hole. Door on one bathroom (without a lock) doesn’t even nudge into place in the frame anymore, but the bathrooms are no longer gendered so you can just use the other one. Not a huge amount of places to sit down, even less during shows as both indoor tables are put away and the bands usually take up the corner table with merch displays, several outdoor benches have been taken out after being broken down.

It is a hole in the wall dive bar in every way, positive and negative. One of the better places for karaoke in Topeka, and host of many a great show. Know what to expect and you’ll probably have...

The last time I was there, the bartender wasn't friendly at all and seemed to be a bit snobby. Which I thought was odd seeing as how she didn't look anything like someone snobby. She seemed more involved with talking to her friends at the end of the bar then greeting new customers. I was also told that the jukebox only plays music outside?!?!? Never heard of that before, nothing says welcome like go sit outside in the cold if you want to spend money on music. Yeah, I probably won't be back. Especially if it's the same bartender. I would highly recommend somewhere else. Anywhere else... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Update : After seeing the condescending attitude of the owner I see why the bartender didn't feel the need to take care of customers in a timely manner and felt the priority was with her friends. 2 guys playing their garage music in your establishment because they are your friends isn't live bands, no only that but they maybe playing 7 nights a week but they're not playing from open to close. So for all that time you're friends aren't on stage, you still have to go sit out in the cold to hear music. Yes the last time I was there, Leanne was great. I visit from out of state occasionally. Too bad you took a step down from her. Thanks for showing me why I should never return and spend...

No toilet paper, soap or paper towels in one of the urine smelling, unisex bathrooms. The swinging bathroom door had a huge gap and no lock, after you stumble up an unmarked slight stair to enter. At the bar you are up charged each time you use a card. Prices of the drinks are very inconsistent. I recommend getting cans because drinks and shots aspire to be what you pay for. The vending machine states to put your money in at your own risk. They have no problem taking the money but both the candy bar and chips got stuck and didn’t fall. In my opinion the patron’s deserve an establishment that is worthy of their hard earned money.

SHAME ON YOU!!!! 30+ YEARS AND YOU STILL HAVEN’T GOT IT RIGHT!!! QUIT DEFLECTING AND ACTUALLY TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MAJOR SHORTCOMINGS. THERE ISN’T A REASON FOR YOU TO BE SO INEPT! SINCE YOU WERE IN ATTENDANCE THE NIGHT...
