CW Porubsky Grocery and Meats A pilgrimage to CW Porubsky Grocery and Meats during chili season has been a Topeka tradition since 1947. This friendly, family-operated business is a good place to get a good meal without spending a lot of money. Charles Porubsky opened this family-run business and his son Charlie runs things now. To this day, little changes there. Porubsky’s has the same weathered bar signs and packs the same lunch crowd ranging from everyday workers to the governor. While chili season at Porubsky’s runs from September 1 through April 1, a trip to Topeka’s Little Russia is not complete without also stopping for a legendary hot pickle.

The Boobie Trap has been a mainstay in Topeka for over 20 years. Some might call this a dive bar, but those of us regular patrons call it home. A place for acceptance for all who enter. It's also hands down to catch live music both local and national. They also feature karaoke, DJ dance parties. There is always something fun going on
