“Sweet neighborhood bar tucked away in Strawberry Hill. This is my favorite spot in town. The bartenders are all so kind, drinks are reasonably priced, and the space itself is just a special charm - both inside and outside. I always leave happier than when I arrived (and that's not because of the alcohol). It's a breathe of fresh air to have a spot like this in a busy, growing city.“

“I visited for the first time this past Saturday for an author event. I accidentally showed up early and was super embarrassed, but the staff was super friendly! They encouraged me to stay and hang out until event time and offered to get me a drink despite not technically being open. The latte was amazingly delicious, so I decided to take a lunch to go after the event. I'm a sucker for a good grilled cheese and tomato soup. The grilled cheese was made with 2 different kinds of cheese on a panini press! It was delicious! I'm giving this place 5 stars across the board. I will definitely be back and will be bringing friends! <3“

“Uptown Lounge has a great atmosphere! I love the live music that's not over the top. Not only are the musicians great to listen to, they have a personality that just makes things relaxing and enjoyable without feeling forced. Drinks are great and change with the seasons. So much fun listening to Vonne singing with the musicians while making drinks and attending to the patrons. Unique skillset that is rarely seen and treasured to observe.“

“This is a must visit in Kansas City!! There is a great variety of drinks for any preference. We have been coming here for years. Greg is the best bartender. Period. He really works to understand what the customer’s preference is and makes a drink to match their pallet. There is always a great movie or show playing in the tv. They have a great selection of bitters, mixers and unique bottle of liquor that can be purchased in the store section. Great atmosphere. You can come alone or with a group. Either way is a guaranteed great time!“

“I like Grinders but the description of the “preferred viewing upgrade” was completely misleading! It was crazy hot so we got it strictly for the A/C Not anywhere near the stage and could barely hear the music when we went to get a beverage at the coffee shop (which is the a/c “lounge “) And the view was of the side of the stage and could barely see any of the performers. I will never pay for that upgrade ever again. Someone definitely needs to update the info on their ticket and venue site.“

“Food is really good, I've ordered many times from them but my last order included an $8.25 fee for carry out supplies. They charge a percent of the entire bill. No where in the check out process do they tell you this. This seems excessive for 6 utensil packs and 5 takeout containers. Many other BBQ places with similar price points do not charge this fee. If you are going to charge extra fees be up front about it.“
