Affectionately known as The Pig to its regulars, this coffeehouse/bar is a local staple. Featuring new art on the walls monthly, the Pig attracts local artists & musicians to hang out and converse. Coffee is fair trade and available with options like pourovers, as well as espresso & house cups. The Pig is also legendary for its mixed drinks and cocktails, served by friendly & easy going staff.

Laid back environment with a front and back patio, booze drinks, and coffee drinks. Typically have a lot of folks studying on computers inside that, so the noise level is fairly low. Big, south facing windows bring in lots of light which highlights the beautiful bar. Also always a selection of news periodicals available for customers.

Great hang out spot for anybody over 25. They have an awesome outdoor patio area that sits in the Sun so if you go there in the daytime you grab a beer or coffee or whatever and really just enjoy it with your friends.

Cozy sitting spaces and good coffee. If you are going with a laptop, the environment is great, but there is a large east facing window (and thus a lot of glare in certain parts of the shop), so take that into account if you are looking for a place to write or browse the web that time of day.

Plenty of outlets to be found here and the staff is friendly and professional. I had an iced coffee and found it high quality.

I could never have imagined, at 6'4" and 210 lbs that I could enjoy such a tiny bar so much. Besides they're phenomenal bartenders, the establishment represents the community as well as any of us could as for. Perfect spot for midday coffee, or that last couple of rounds . I love the

Its hard to love this place but I do. Peel a layer or two back from the bartenders, get to know their names and you'll discover they are good humored, but not as good humored as the coffees. The drinks are well made and consistent but not many places do dirty javas better than this spot.
The espresso and the coffees, even the pour overs are nice and strong like I like them. If you want a little water added they can adjust and cater to any need.
This spot roasts their own coffee.

First off, the Pig has probably the best coffee in town. Beyond that, it's just a great Lawrence atmosphere with a unique mixture of people... both employees and patrons. Perfect spot to kill some time downtown, whether you want to work, study, read, chat, or chill.

This is a great place for cocktails or coffee. There are two outdoor seating areas, small groups can usually find a good place to sit. The pig can be a great place to do homework with the free Wi-Fi, and is open late at night. Staff is helpful and make good drinks. Definitely worth visiting if you like a Moscow Mule.

The benefit of an unprecedented time is the desire to explore and find something new I was lucky enough to find this place

the barista was incredibly friendly it was weird was like a coworker and maybe even a family member

you re walking your immediately captivated by the variety of colors which place is clearly stylish and quite well appropriated but one thing that it does is it answers with really good food

I had a hot chocolate it s a friend of mine had a carrot cake which I tried and honestly it was so good I think it should be smoked from a pipe with a friend of mine and she s eating quiche or was it this it was a spinach quiche?

I can tell you she ate it so fast I don t even think I have time to take a picture and she had a mocha with whip cream the sweetness of which was literally like kissing the sweetness of whipped cream.

The staff is friendly and the drinks are well made. The bar has a lot of great choices in every category, from amaro to mezcal and tequila o whisk(e)y. Inside is cozy, but there is plenty of seating on the front patio or the back porch.

Hip haven for the criminally ignorant. I was stunned to see the communist hammer and sickle prominently displayed on their t-shirts. The place is dripping with irony and I therefore recommend visiting to get a good laugh. I didn t see anyone there who looked like they could survive the gulag. I m sure their professors never had them read Solzhenitsyn or Sakharov. And after all who cares about 100 million murdered as they spend $8 for a beer?

A more expensive descendent of places like the catfish, which became the crossing, which was assimilated, then obliterated.
It's expensive, yet delicious, an excellent venue for observing humans.

Hands down still my favorite place in LFK even after 14 years. Good java, and good cocktails. Atmosphere is eclectic and warm, and the patrons are generally good natured. Stop in and chat up the bar tender and you will agree immediately.

A real gem of downtown Lawrence Kansas. The Bourgeois Pig doubles as both an early morning coffee shop but also a unique and fun drinkery by night. With a rather large inside for its outside appearance it is a good place for a morning meetup or a night time hangout!

Obviously indifferent staff, rude regulars , and a generally unfriendly attitude. Atmosphere seemed vibrant at the time of our visit but everything else was unpleasant. Will not go back and would never recommend to anyone. There are plenty of great bars in Lawrence and I d strongly suggest trying places other than this one.

One of my favorite places to grab a drink in Lawrence. The vibe reminds me of a small shoppe you would find in NYC. Their fair trade coffee is sourced by the owners personally and the tasty alcoholic drinks change seasonally. One of the best Moscow Mules in LFK and a pretty decent craft beer selection.

The Pig is absolutely my favorite bar in Lawrence. Hands down. From coffee in the morning to martinis at night, all drinks are expertly made and the bartenders are always welcoming and prompt in their service.

Excellent, cozy atmosphere and great service, even late at night just a few hours from their 2am closing time. Staff was very knowledgeable and kind. The patrons themselves we're a fun, lively bunch. Even during a brief power outage, everyone was still in good spirits.

Wonderful atmosphere to sit and talk over a good cup of coffee, but wouldn't recommend it for studying or a first date.

My husband favorite bar and coffee shop in Lawrence. Their loaded tank (tank 7 and espresso shot) is amazing, as is their coffee martini. We usually stop by on the weekend to grab a coffee or a drink. Their patio is great in the summer, and it is dog friendly outside as well. Definitely stop by if you can. When the weather is great, it can be victim of its own success and get crowded for seating, beware.
