Featured Lawrence venue
The World Famous Outhouse
1837 N 1500 Rd · Lawrence’s legendary late-night venue. Wed–Sat · 7 PM – 4 AM.
Four miles east of Mass Street, off 15th, sits the venue Lawrence has been running for forty years. The Outhouse opens at 7, runs until 4 AM Thursday through Saturday, and on a real weekend is the only thing happening for an hour in every direction.
Music, lights, a sound system that doesn’t apologize, and a weekend crowd that arrives in waves — the warm-up at 9, the downtown spillover at 1, the still-going-at-3. It’s a Lawrence original. Visit theouthouse.com for the latest from the venue directly.

Why people go
Why people go
Because nowhere else in this part of the state stays open this late, with this much room, this far from a noise complaint. The Outhouse is a Lawrence institution — the destination friends drive in from Topeka or Kansas City for, the spot the bachelor parties end up at, the place the night actually finishes.
