Nostalgia Room

This is a genuinely interesting place, unlike any other in Lawrence. It is tempting to try many of the drinks on the menu, but if you do so, you may end up with sticker shock when you get the bill. Better to try a couple of drinks each time and return to try others.On some days, but not all days, they have bagels with a choice of spreads. If you want food with your drinks, I suggest you call to see if they have bagels on the day you plan to arrive. We were there on a Friday, and they did have bagels.Parking is less of a problem than downtown. There is diagonal parking on the street in front of the bar.Nostalgia Room is best known for its mixed drinks, and deservedly so. But we also tried the two wines on the menu, and we were surprised by how good they were. Non-alcoholic wines are improving in quality and sophistication.

My third trip to NR was enhanced by close friends, once of whom doesn't imbibe alcohol at all, and had never heard of a dry bar- he was so surprised & delighted!We tried several drinks between the four of us; favorites were the margarita & horsefeather.I've been exploring the burgeoning world of NA cocktails, and what continues to amaze me is the dedication to not just 'replace the alcohol' with sugar or something blasé. Instead, the challenge seems to be to raise the (pardon the pun) bar with complex flavor pairings that entertain the drinker without the 'easy A' of adding alcohol. Out favorite drinks were easily the ones mixed by the bartender, not the canned variety. So even if you're only sober-curious (or doing a sober buddy a favor), NR is entirely worth your time.

A perfectly curated escape for the sober and sober-curious. Amazing selection of handcrafted NA cocktails, NA wines and NA beers. The space is cozy and welcoming, filled with an eclectic variety of seating nooks and heirlooms. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable of all NA varieties. Will absolutely be back to visit again, plus try the coffee shop options in the morning.

This is such a Lawrence gem with immaculate vibes. The drinks are all delicious. I'm not sober but I still enjoy hanging out here and trying their mocktails just for the great atmosphere.

An amazing place to meet up with friends and family in a space that's been thoughtfully and beautifully curated. As the other reviewer mentions, it's perfect for the sober curious and sober Lawrencian plus their visitors for a mocktail or the person who wants a solid coffee drink in an adorable space just off the main downtown street Mass Ave. My Oklahoma Rose mocktail was insanely good and others all looked great too. I want to try their coffee next time - they have a rose agave house made signature syrup that looks amazing.
