The written story it says and the Arts y and nation.

A crop stream of jazz music and a crowd of well-dressed academics pour out of the wooded lot at the Blerdine Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. It is its Tuesday night, and while the February air is crisp outside inside the hotel, one can catch one of its hottest nights.
Since implementing a new two-for-one martini special on Thursday this past fall, the restaurant has become the most visited the sweet places in the city.

upscale and intellectual than most others in Lawrence.
"It's very hip," Cravis says.
"There are so many young people everywhere. It feels like you have everyone every day is dressed up nice."
This isn't the place to go for cheap booze in plastic cups, but sexy is worth the price. Patrons can languish up their chocolate dizzied marinade and then scoop off to the sumptuous wood boots around the corner from the main bar for a more intimate setting.
"That table is out of the view of the bartenders, so people seem to find them cuddling or nuzzling in the corner before they make a quick escape out the door by the heels!" Craft says.
The bar's location, on the first floor of the hotel, also spills out prime hook-up possibilities. A chance meeting over drinks with friends can turn into a full-fledged night of fun. Craft says she has heard of people who have tried the bar and the final meeting in the bar and then heading upstairs to share one room.
Two blocks down the street's a different story at the Jackpot Saloon, 443 Massachusetts St. There are no champagne-filled drinks or hotel rooms here. The crowd at the Jackpot is more of a mourn bag of sugar singers, and the crowd of indie rockers and sorority women so come expecting a lieber alternative crowd.
contribute to the overall ambiance
Though cheaper and less upscale than the Jayhawk with drink tips in the 52 range the jackpot still offers accessible options, including floating boots; dim lighting and comfortable boots with candles
Many patrons can choose to end their night at the bar because of a hook up, Joseb Obbmann, manager of the Jackpot Saloon.
Everyone always seems to end up here, she says. It's a place to get your last call, and you can do the little hook-up or whatever it is in the kids are doing these days.
if something more than a random hook-up is desired, history points to Johnny's Tawney, 410 N. Second St., as the place to go. The establishment's old wood floors have seen a lot of relationships come and go, in the hallway Kathalyman Kansas City. Mo. senior has worked at Johnny's sheen even when computer programs come and go to achieve the first time they put them.
Love for just must be in the air because Chapman says the establishment is also a good place to meet current singles. The mixed and casual patronage plenty of college students peeped in with a more mature crowd increases the diversity.
It's not random to look down the bar and see two girls making out or a guy and a girl making up a chatman. Chapman says, "People who work together hock up like this time." He asks why Johnny is at Johnny's.
Though flippant behavior seems to abound, Chapman cautions that Johnny's and other nightspots in Lawrence, in reality the place to come with hopes of a sister relationship.
Love and marriage might not be discovered with one sutile splash of a martin or a jug of beer but when it does happen, you can lavender this Valentine's season.
