Common Consumption

Sip, Stroll, Repeat – Welcome to Common Consumption!

Downtown Topeka is now a Common Consumption area – which means you can grab your favorite drink to go from Axe & Ale and take the fun with you as you explore! Whether you’re headed to Evergy Plaza for live music or strolling through downtown’s shops and events, your drink can come along for the ride.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Drinks must be in the official Common Consumption cup (we’ll hook you up).
  • Stay within the boundaries – look for signs or ask our team where you can sip.
  • No outside alcohol – just stick with drinks from licensed downtown spots like us!

Start your downtown adventure at Axe & Ale – grab a craft cocktail or local brew, then hit the plaza or make your way through Topeka’s entertainment district. Cheers to more ways to enjoy downtown!
