Newsworthy

Kansas, the birthplace of prohibition, is the last state you’d think of for progressive alcohol legislation. However, in just one day, nearly 100 years of restrictive alcohol laws were lifted by our Governor, if only temporarily, to allow the sale of ready-made cocktails in a to-go container. For the first time, well… ever, a customer of legal drinking age could order and pick up a cocktail from our distillery for them to consume at home.  This was huge.  I want to share what we did to help our business through to-go cocktails. 

This Wednesday, June 17th, we are RE-OPENING the Boot Hill Distillery Tasting Room!!

J. Wilson’s is a classy yet casual establishment on the West side of Lawrence, Kansas.  More than a restaurant, J. Wilson’s is a thriving community with many regulars that lovingly refer to it as "their own Cheers."

We serve Modern American cuisine and strive to offer fresh, local, and seasonal fare, always made from scratch.  Featuring a full bar, we focus on local and sustainable liquors and beers wherever possible.  The wine list is chosen by our own sommelier and features many estate-grown, family-owned, and sustainable (or organic, or biodynamic) wines. 

That’s all the press-worthy stuff, but most of all, it’s a fun place to work, where people care about each other and work hard to do good things.  It doesn’t get much better than that.
