“I’ve been here twice, soon to make it a regular place for me. I went in yesterday after I heard of a passing of a fellow Veteran. I had a great night and the respect that everyone has for each other at this bar is awesome. I had too many to drive and was given a ride home by a fellow patron(they were sober). But where I’m getting at is that there was care. What bar do you go to where they care? Thank you Alley Bar. -A soon to be regular.“
“We live a block away and have been waiting for our spot to open up. Food we want to eat, great drinks and service that makes us feel like locals, and this is the spot. Zach was taking care of us and we’ve been back and haven’t had a bad time. Except during that Denver game and it had nothing to do with the place. Try the “
“Great low-key local watering hole as well as spot for community meetings and private parties (adjoining spaces.) Access the bar through the Alley, front doors are only open for events. Zero frills-cheap drinks and free popcorn. ? Party Rental is easy and beyond reasonable, includes great sound system, flexible staff, clean restrooms and details well laid out on their website . All proceeds support Veteran programming and all are welcome.“
“Stopped and had lunch at this establishment! My husband and I like to try different BBQ places around the KC area. This has definitely been one of our favorites. The amazing customer service started the moment we walked in the door. The selection of menu items were very unique and delicious! After we finished our lunch our server came by with our check and that’s when we let her know that this was our first visit. We were quick to let her know that we were very satisfied with the service and the food. Before we finished paying for our lunch the owner stopped by our table. This is something we do not experience at a lot of places. While we were visiting with him our server came back to the table with a few samples of some of their side dishes. This is what I love about the small businesses that we love to support! See you all real soon at F325 BBQ.“
“I was a little worried about taking my 10 year old to see her favorite singer Savannah Dexter considering it's a bar late night. It was so much fun!!! Everyone in front of us realize she knew every song and let us right up to the front she had the time of her life!!!! Thank you knuckleheads for making it an amazing first concert“
“How isn’t this place 5 stars?! WOW. My date and I had an amazing experience from the atmosphere, the food, and our incredible waitress Danielle. She was such a treat and very knowledgeable of all the products. I will definitely be coming back!“
“I have been traveling to KC since 2014, and I never realized there was a restaurant next door to Jack Stacks. I honestly thought it was the same place. I am glad I stopped in there to check it out. The place atmosphere is amazing. The staff were friendly and inviting.The food was served swiftly. The beer and wine selection was awesome.For my meal, I had the weekly special, the steak with potatoes. Let me tell you that steak was amazing. Caramelized sauce adds flavor to the perfect steak! The only suggestion I have for this meal is to cook the potato a little less. It seemed a little over cooked. That is the only reason for the 4 stars. I would be at a loss for not mentioning the dessert. OMG! I'm definitely going to visit again on my next trip. Save me a seat.“
“Was at the theater for panicfest, a local film festival and it was a beautiful facility.The theaters were stunning, great staff, food, drinks, and a ton of folks that love film.Highly recommend this place for any films that you're hoping to catch on the big screen, mostly because these old theaters are incredible and deserve to be preserved, and keeping an eye out on their special events as well. We had a blast here.“
“My husband and I have been to Swordfish Tom’s at least half a dozen times in the past couple of years and it’s always been a top-notch experience. Sure, sometimes you have to wait outside for availability, but it’s worth the wait and I personally think it adds to the “speak-easy” vibes. Drinks are phenomenal and they always seem to have a wide variety of cocktail options. Even if you don’t see something on the list that sparks your interest, the bartenders has always been so friendly and willing to spin up pretty much anything your heart desires! We love it for a date night!“
“Very cool room hidden off the alley. Had an Italian Beef (Jim's Beef) and had low expectations. Being from Chicago I was a bit snobby about anyone else outside of the Windy City doing an IB right. My apologies. Great sandwich. The bread was perfect. Tender, juicy meat. Giardiniera nice and spicy. My only gripe would be the lack of fries as a side. I had the jalepeno slaw and it was good, but fries are the natural side to a lovely beef. Will be back.“
“The food we ordered was good. I was happy to see a restaurant that served a Rueben sandwich that was made with Russian dressing instead of the usual Thousand Island that so many places substitute. We would have liked to try some of the cocktails, but this was not the trip to do it on with a 3-hour trip home afterward.Parking: The lower lot is small. The upper lot was larger but we did not like having to take stairs up and down. This is not a problem for some, just did not like as an older couple.“
“I stumbled across this place on Facebook and had no idea what it was. They were hosting a nickelodeon themed party with trivia, coloring, and themed drinks!I was nervous at first because we were sharing tables but I got to meet some of the coolest people there and had a blast!! They even hyped me up for winning 4th place in the coloring contest haha.If you love board games, meeting new people, and looking for adult fun without all the craziness of downtown this is a great place to go! I think they host dungeons and dragons here as well and I would love to learn how to start.The food is tasty, but it could be better. But it's not a restaurant, it's a gamers paradise!“
“Up-Down quickly became a KC classic. Everyone will find a game they enjoy and every game is only 25 cents (via tokens bought at the bar). The bar is expansive and the rooftop patio is a great place to enjoy the city views. If you're hungry you can grab a slice of pizza inside.“
“My first time in, and I found it to be charming. A bright and tidy place in a more historic part of town. The baristas were sweet and fun. If you get a drip coffee and choose to enjoy on premises, you pick out your own mug and get a free refill. It was a perfect Sunday morning stop.“
“The atmosphere catches your attention right as you come in. Very unique. The staff are really nice, smiling, well informed and attentive. The food is excellent. We had the CA roll which was nicely done. The tartare was very unique. Yummy but a little messy to wrap your own. The cod is one of the best I've ever eaten in KC. That alone will bring me back. We all shared the brownie, crispy outside, gooey in. Warm and yummy. Their wine list is paired very nicely with their menu. Lots of trendy restaurants in KC lately that are just so so, this one is a keeper.Parking: They have their own lot next to their building“
“Best espresso martini and cocktails I've had in KC in a long time. Food and desserts were excellent, and it was so fun to take a cocktail around the art museum after dinner. Our server was so enthusiastic about the history of the place, it really made the experience.“
“This place is pretty cool. It’s tucked away but easy to find. We came for some drinks and appetizers and got the wings, which were just okay… last time I visited I got a pizza and it was delicious!! There was live music and the service was good.“
“Tried this place for the first time on a Friday at 7:30 and we were seated immediately with no reservation. The space was small, but very cool and good vibes. Drinks were good and the servers/bartenders know what they are talking about. I'll have to try food next time I'm there“
“It was AMAZING. It was my first time and i loved how Kevin took a few minutes to explain everything to us and show us how to properly mix the dishes and use chopsticks and everything . Peter was FANTASTIC he told us he was the cook in the back but came up to help out and 10/10 service. I will definitely be back in a forever customer now. Best experience of my life and it was just so much fun.“
“The atmosphere is great, the food was amazing, and cocktails were delicious! We ordered four dishes to share between two of us which was filling (they recommend 4 to 5). The food did take longer than expected to come out, but their customer service is unmatched!Dietary restrictions: They ask when you sit down if you have any dietary restrictions. They then mark the menu with which dishes to avoid.“
“We had the best Saturday fun-day here. Logan and Candice were friendly, fun, engaging, and hilarious. The crowd was chill and friendly. Any bar with jcheese balls is a win, and the overall design and vibe of the bar is top notch. I am sad we don’t live closer, but we can’t wait to go back. Thanks for an awesome day!“
“Ludo's Shuffleboard bar is such a great addition to Martini Corner. After a friend date night at Noka, we went here to check it out for the first time. I love the fun, colorful branding that continues to the menu itself. The cocktails are as creative as they are delicious. They offer great wines and beers too - something for everyone. I've also been to Ludo's for a work happy hour where they rented out the whole bar. It's such a great size for happy hour "takeovers" and the staff was super friendly, helpful, flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend a night out at Ludo's or even renting it out for your next event!“
“We LOVE Milwaukee Deli to the point where we knew we had to have it as a late night snack at our wedding! We worked out a catering order with Jon who was so great at assisting us and making sure what we ordered showed up at our venue at the requested time! We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day and just got the glorious news from our venue coordinator that the pizza had arrived! Our guests DEVOURED this pizza. Thanks again to Jon and Milwaukee Deli for helping to make our special day even better!“
“Anytime I have people visiting from out of town, and they want to have a nice meal that isn't BBQ I take them here. The food, service and ambiance are always fantastic. Their menu is so different than anything around here and sitting in the dining room feels like sitting in a French restaurant.They have a rotating chef's special, a great deal on their steak frites on Tuesdays, delicious French desserts (home made profiteroles, say WHAT?! yum. And don't even get me started on their mille feuille when that is around... absolutely fabulous).The wine selection is great, they have a non alc option that seemed interesting but I decided to go with their non alc cocktail which was delicious. Cocktail menu is solid, and they even carry my favorite beer, Duvel which is such a European staple and not always easy to find in the city.“
“We visited Blade & Timber for the first time (None of us had ever thrown an ax before) to celebrate our daughter's 17th birthday. The service was excellent. Food was great. But our coach Winston went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having the best experience possible! We can't wait for our next visit!!“
“Really fun and laid back spot. Apparently the owner is my second cousin once removed (I think) so my dad was excited to go here when visiting from AR. It was a beautiful day and I love that on such days they’re open to the outdoors. That plus some great early 2000s pop punk classics really made for a great atmosphere. I asked for their most popular drink which was their blueberry specialty cocktail. It was delicious!“
“Pic is of the lobster tacos and skillet queso. They were both amazing. We also had the Korean tacos and street which were delicious as well. Skillet queso was too spicy for the kiddos but perfect for me. Finishing touch was the amazing KC Taco margaritas. Definitely coming back.“
“Kyle owns this great KC gem. It’s a clean and friendly atmosphere in the heart of KC. Beer, whiskey, wine, no cocktails. Kyle is a beer lover but won’t steer you wrong with you spirit selections! I had a great time Chatting with him and trying Penelope and Barrel Craft bourbons!“
“Overall a great place; this has become mine and my wife's local spot.Twice monthly pool tournaments; an assortment of areas to play checks, chess, or dice; local beers; and fantastic cocktails.One of the best old fashioned I've had in a while (if you're a fan of Rye, if not, make sure to mention it).Have spent several long nights here shooting pool and enjoying good company.Parking: Street parking directly next to the bar, but its a gamble if there will be any available. You may have to drive further down and take a short walk.“
“This place is so fun. Great options for drinks, fun atmosphere, cozy. I usually go on weekdays because it is very small and gets tight. But it's full of cool patrons and a radical staff!Warning ..you might make friends here.Parking: Parking lot is small but not impossible..I used to find spots back home with my T16.“
“Been here several times, never tried the food . However the beer is good and cold , bartenders are spot on. It's a biker bar in the dot( so if have to explain it, you wouldn't understand) . Very cool place from what it was . And yesterday they had a benefit for a friend who was in a car wreck back in January. Very good turnout and everyone had a good time. With bikers there are no strangers only friends we haven't met yet.“
“Elise at Toms Town was amazing. She gave a great tour and the tasting with her was so fun. She has us addicted to the double oak Bourbon!If you do not drink bourbon, you can still enjoy the tour. Loved looking around and enjoyed the video of all the history that this distillery has. The food was an added bonus!“
“First time here, good cold beer and laid back atmosphere. Bartender was quick and polite. Seems like a great place to stop and knock the dust outta your throat. Western style throughout the place . Definitely worth a visit, will be back !!!“
“You come here after you have had dinner to get some GREAT choices for all kinds of draft. They pour the new Boulevard strawberry wheat that was smooth and so good. Lots of gathering space and cool industrial atmosphere. You can’t get food here, but any type of craft beer is here. Sea Dog on draft is here as well—awesome! This is where you want to meet up with all your friends to laugh and tell stories as you enjoy a drink or two or three.“
“Our waitress, Leah was phenomenal. Best service I have had here in KC in several years.Parking: Garage on State line, just behind Jazz. Scan the QR cide at your spot. Sign up on the sight. After your meal at Jazz, scan the QR code at the restaurant, and poof! Your parking is free and paid for (3 hours max).“
“This is a great local dive joint! But note: do not wave the bartender over to take your order...go to the bar and place your order! Rookie mistake! Food is simply a fried culinary delight. The smash burger is amazing especially after cigar and drinks at The Shop. Housemate fries are a must and the tots are great. Can't go wrong with both! Staff is friendly and amazing!“
“It does have pinball which is what I was there for. The area at night can be iffy late night but, don't let that stop you from checking it out, especially if you love pinball. You can even bring outside food in, bonus!!. The space is nice sized and the service is great. I'd definitely go back and check it out.“
“We live in KCMO, about 15 minutes from here, but this is our favorite little bar. A bit divey, but it’s a very clean, well-kept spot. Not something you can typically expect of a dive bar. Sammy is a great bartender, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended whether you live in the neighborhood or take a drive to get here.“
“U will always feel like family here! Before the new owners there was alot of race mess going on and they put an end to it!!! Ppl of color used to avoid this bar...now I would suggest going and having an amazing time! Everyone u meet here u can invite to the cookouts! Looooove this place!“
“First off the bartenders here are amazing. They are always attentive and great to chat with. For a casual bar they have some exceptional pizza. Also I am personally very happy with a bar that has Coors Banquet Beer as I am not that hard to please on the beer selection side of life.“
“My boyfriend and I LOVE micheladas, it is our thing. So we set out to find the best ones in town. I had seen people I know post about it so we decided to try it out. and oh my gosh. these are the BEST in town. They are very authentic. You can get them to go which is cool and also they come in a big cup with chamoy on the side. They put the right amount of beer and other ingredients, they just do it right every time. My bf and I always get regular michelada with the dried meat on it and it tastes really good. The workers are always super nice to attend to us and make our drinks very fast. There is always people when we go in just chilling with their friends and it is a chill place to just have a drink. They also serve fruit with tajin and other things that are fruit with lime and tajin/ spicy. for sure recommend for an authentic michelada!“
“Vegetarian options: Veggie Burger & SaladsKid-friendliness: Kids menu available (10 & under) with plenty of options, dessert included (bring your own pen/crayon/marker to play the games)Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no steps to enter. Some seating is not wheelchair friendly (booths that have a step up) buy there are plenty of regular tables. Seating is very close together, so keep that in mind.“
“I honestly had no clue what to expect for charity bingo night. We went with a group for my mom’s 59th bday. (Yes, she’s a fun one) Usually places where entertainment is the highlight the food suffers - it did not disappoint at all- everything was delicious and all the meals looked amazing ? Our server Kate was the best customer service and service I’ve ever had in my life. I was so blown away by the service I had to tip 50% as that level of attention was mind blowing ? I never once had an empty glass or had to worry about anyone needing anything because we were taken care of that well. Deserves a raise! The bingo was a great time and many laughs were had. Would definitely come back! 20/10 recommend“
“You can even smoke in here! They have a badass pool tournament you can join if you dare. My husband and I were straight stuck on their arcade type bowling game!! The bartender was full of hilarious jokes, and so were the patrons. I really loved this place and plan to return!“
“First time here and it was to photography a birthday party. This club is definitely bigger on the inside than what the outside shows. The current bartender was nice and helpful. Seem to be plenty of space for a small type of event. Has a back room with a VIP section and another back room with a pool table.“
“Concur, this is a friendly, even historic, watering hole in one of the original grand downtown hotels of KCMO. And thank goodness they didn't mess with the original woodwork and theme of the place. The neon sign outside is precious and should never be allowed to be messed with! Whether you're here to watch (or catch) a game or just hanging out with some pals for a nightcap, hard to beat this small venue away from the huge crowds some places downtown are seeking. I can keep coming back here just fine.“
“Absolutely loved our visit to Chicagos! The festive Christmas atmosphere was a delightful touch during our trip from Canada for the Chiefs game. The owners and staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The locals added to the fantastic vibe. Highly recommend this little gem for its great atmosphere and fantastic hospitality“
“Incredible place to dine or drink at. Ambience is next-level. They have different themes at different points throughout the year, it's worth going to each one. The food is incredible, the drinks are where the character of the place shines as they are catered to the theme. My wife and I try to make it as often as we can and have always had amazing service and an awesome experience every time. I hesitate to write such a good recommendation because reservations are sometimes hard to get but we really love the Conductor Club and it's a great excuse to visit Union Station and see a unique part of it as well.“
“First time attending a show here. Came to see Dead on a Sunday. It is a very small venue. Intimate is the correct term. The place is great for small up and coming acts. With two bars to keep attendees happy. Will definitely come here again.“
“I fell in love with this micro-brewery on my first visit! Since then, I've been a few times, and Boho Brewing has yet to disappoint. I love this place for many reasons. The service is always top-tier and the owners are absolutely incredible. I inquired about hosting a 30th surprise birthday party here, and they were not only extremely accommodating, but I feel like they went out of their way to ensure we all had a great time. They were so helpful and communicative in the process leading up to the event, and helped ensure the surprise party was a success! THE BEER IS LIKE TOTALLY SO GOOD. I love experimenting with micro-breweries and craft beer, and Boho Brewing is nothing short of delicious! I've tried many of their brews, and haven't had a bad yet. My personal favorite is their Kölsch- it's absolutely delicious (and actually tastes like a Kölsch)! Another thing I love about Boho Brewing is its atmosphere. While there isn't a ton of indoor seating, they've got a great bar area and there always seems to be just enough open indoor tables when I'm there. There is plenty of family-friendly outdoor seating. It's in a perfect location for the kids to play outside while the adults can hang out at the picnic tables. Additionally, they allow you to order outside food to bring in while you are there. I absolutely love Boho Brewing and will always be a big fan of theirs! Support small, y'all!“
