    Great place to spend the holidays with family. Service staff was amazing and had a great deal of knowledge of all the drinks they were serving. They were able to steer us all towards drinks we loved. The Sippin Santa was my favorite. Even bought a Sippin Santa mug to take home with me for our mantle. Would highly recommend this place!

    We've been to Dockum many times and always enjoy our visits. We decided to go for their Christmas pop-up. The ambience was alright, I wouldn't say it was over the top Christmas like many other bars are doing here in Wichita for the season. The place was packed/full. Where we ran into trouble, was we ordered drinks (4 of us) and it took 45 minutes to get our drinks. They only scheduled 1 bartender for a full bar on a Saturday evening at 9 p.m. The Christmas Cocktail menu that was curated for the season, also left a lot to be desired. To top it all off they had live music (not opposed to live music) but she was singing so loudly you couldn't carry on a conversation. Overall, not a good experience. We had 1 drink and went elsewhere. Dockum, maybe stick to what you know - good strong 'speakeasy' curated cocktails. If you want to have live music that's fine, but let's turn down the volume so that a table can carry on a conversation.

    Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that your latest visit to Dockum didn't live up to your previous experiences. We understand that our Christmas pop-up may not have matched up to other bars' decor or the live music. We're also sorry that your drinks took longer than expected to arrive. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we strive to improve our service. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide the strong, knowledgeable cocktails and ambiance you've come to expect from Dockum.

    Waited 20 minutes to be greeted by our waitress, waited even longer for drinks. The seasonal drinks were trash.

    We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and the delays you encountered during your visit. We hold ourselves to a high standard when it comes to service and the quality of our seasonal offerings with Sippin' Santa, and it’s clear we fell short this time.

We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a better experience that reflects what Dockum strives to deliver. Best, The Management Team

    Our experience was SO great! We went for my birthday and had a reservation. When we got there it was a little bit of a wait but nothing crazy. We sat in the back rooms with the sofas and were there from 9:30 until close! Our server was so sweet, the food was great, and I got multiple birthday surprises! Had literally so much fun! Would recommend!

    Well we my wife and I were 1st timers to Dockum. It was our Date Night and thought we would check this establishment out. Two reasons we were there was like I just mentioned and the other was because I saw that the musical duo of “ ROC and Rick was playing that night. We really enjoyed the evening and would be back sometime.

    We had a wonderful time getting drinks and grazing on a small cheese and meat board. Bustling and busy environment, very fun probation themed speakeasy. Bartenders were nice. Wish they’d have walked us through the cheeses, meats, spread, etc. overall good.

    Brought my banking friends and they absolutely had a great evening and experience. The entertainment was amazing. Would love to see more of those two. The staff is fantastic as usual, Stephanie is a rockstar and the bar keeps are absolutely the pinnacle of perfection to their craft. The food always tops the list anytime I fly in from Boston on short notice.

    Food was sub par for the cost. The drink I ordered that was suppose to have cayenne in it did not have a wiff of cayenne. I could barely taste the honey. It was sold as a fancy sounding drink that came out tasting like a lemon drop. The waitress low key argued with me when I told her a Pinot Grigio is a white wine as she handed me a red. She wasn't being rude. I just figure she should know the difference. Pleather couch in the waiting room. Was looking to impress my wife. Not so much.
