Gate 36 Eatery & Spirits

Gate 36 was created with a simple idea in mind: bring people together over great food, genuine hospitality, and a view you can’t find anywhere else in Topeka.

Located inside historic Philip Billard Municipal Airport, Gate 36 is more than a restaurant. It’s a destination with intention — a place where aviation, community, and comfort come together in a way that feels both exciting and familiar.

From early morning breakfast before work, to relaxed brunches, lunches with a runway view, and community-centered events, every part of Gate 36 is being built with purpose. We believe hospitality should feel personal, welcoming, and rooted in the people it serves.

As we continue growing, our focus remains the same: creating a space that belongs to the community around it. We’re committed to supporting local partnerships whenever possible, listening to feedback, and building an experience that reflects the people who walk through our doors.

Whether you’re a pilot stopping in between flights, a family gathering for brunch, a business meeting over coffee, or someone simply looking for a new favorite spot in Topeka — Gate 36 was built for you.

Great people. Fantastic food. Beautiful view.

Welcome to Gate 36.
