“Nice little place that seems to be a local hangout in the afternoons. Quick service and an absolutely HUGE tenderloin that comes with a Togo box for a reason. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to have the extra bun and veggies so tomorrow's leftovers are complete.“
“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.“
“Welcome to Helen's JAD (Just Another Dive)! Known for their wings and late night kitchen, Helen's is one of the few late night spots in KC where you can get food at the end of a fun night on the town.FOODI had the All-American Burger ?. It was quite tasty and I definitely recommend it. My friend had the wings and said they were delicious as well. We didn't try the pizza but that will definitely be my pick if I end up back there.SERVICEOur food came out quickly and our server seemed cool/nice. They made sure to ask if we wanted another drink as soon as we polished off the last. No complaints there!ATMOSPHEREAppropriately named (Just Another Dive), the atmosphere at Helen's was that of a generic dive. The music wasn't for me tbh. It was mostly classic rock tunes i hadn't heard in years (and wouldn't have minded keeping it that way) mixed with modern country which just ain't my vibe, but also, it's Kansas City so what do you expect? This definitely isn't like one of the more artsy, hipster, service industry dives in Chez's, Hillsiders, or even Easy Inn but those dives are few and far between in KC anyway. There was lots of sports stuff and generic beer marketing posters everywhere which felt pretty bland. I will say the patio was really nice though and a good patio is always important.Overall, I'd swing by again for a late night slice of pizza and a quick drink at the end of the night. The food was delicious, drinks were alright, service was good, and people were nice enough, atmosphere wasn't for me really. I'd go back for the food, food service, and the patio!“
“What a fun environment with friendly and prompt bartenders even though it was a busy night! They had a talented musician playing a wide variety so songs and he was engaging with the patrons. I am an out of Towner and felt very welcomed by the local crowd. There are fun decorations up for the Halloween season. A fun dive bar with a small town vibe in the city! My husband and I will definitely be visiting again.“
“My husband and I popped in here before seeing a comedy show & T-Mobile Center not knowing anything about the place, and wow we loved it! The bartender Robin is so personable and good at what she does. The divey atmosphere had us feeling right at home. Not to mention, finding reasonably priced drinks downtown is practically unheard of! We ended up stopping back by after the show, and plan to come back any time we are in the area. Thank you Robin & Zoo Bar for a great experience!“
“If you 're looking for a nice relatively quiet and tucked away in plain sight type of place to hold your birthday or memorial for ANYTHING you would like to celebrate with as many family and friends that you know would enjoy some good music, pool and maybe even win some money playing keno, THIS BAR IS FOR YOU!!! The patrons are friendly for the most part and the rules are simple, clean up after yourself and company, plan on having your Designated Driver on call, keep your hands to yourself (unless otherwise unavoidable) and SMOKE OUTSIDE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT!!I personally experienced a very personal vigil accidentally that turned out to be a very honorable and heartfelt ode in dedication to a fallen bar tender and her family and friends that you would have had to be present for in order to give justice to describe the atmosphere and momentous occasion that it deserves.... Not a dry eye in the house and it was testament to the fact that... ANYTHING BEAUTIFUL AND MOMENTOUS CAN HAPPEN RIGHT HERE....All that's missing is you!“
