Two things: Best sports bar in my opinion (lots and lots of tv's) is Jeremiah Bullfrog's live at Huntoon and Wanamaker. Best restaurant overall in Topeka is Brick Oven Courtyard Grille at 31st and Wanamaker. I'm a little biased as I'm part owner... But it is a high class place with great entrees and deserts (berries chocolate is every wife's favorite)
