Recommendation: Try visiting on a calm weekday early evening—enjoy the outdoor games, solid menu, and happy hour vibe. If you're catching a game night or big event, book ahead and stay mentally prepared for crowds.

Went here in the past and it was a good spot. Showed up here during business hours and they were just closing. Website hours match Google, but that isn't when they were closing. Please update your hours. If you don't know how to, give me your hours and I'll update them for you.

Great neighborhood bar. Good menu and reasonably priced. Be warned though, during football season this is a die hard Chiefs bar and it gets loud. Lots of TVs so they have all the games from every team each week
