“Merci was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great job!“

“I am soo glad Nicole, the owner of the City Market Coffee House has decided to share her recipes with the rest of us! The breakfast/lunch menu was full of the no fuss kind of meals you could make at home, but she makes them much better. Not over priced huge mounds of food, but delicious, reasonable priced items with wholesome ingredients. (And the bloody Mary's are a meal in themselves ;-)“

“My husband and I popped by on a Saturday afternoon about 2:00 pm and it was quiet here until about 3:30. The bartender was very sweet and let me create my own craft cocktail using their amazing house blended tomorrow syrup. The books here are super cool and we proved several away just hanging out and drinking our cocktails. We’ve driven by so many times and this time it was a destination. Cool vibes, comfy seating for small groups. I noticed some laptop lap decks under a coffee table- nice amenity. This is yet another reason to love living in KC.“

“Lots to like about this place. It’s a beautiful space with great service and drinks, and easy parking. Highly recommend — especially when they have live music, which is often. Adrian Bartholomew is our favorite!“

“This lounge is moody and eclectic. The vibes are always present every time I step in. The staff in its absolute entirety is TOPNOTCH. You can see the amount of detail that went into the entire process from the staff, the interior, the drink menu, the music. Everything in this bar feels as though it was handpicked. The long ways cocktail is hands down the BEST drink I’ve ever had when I want something that packs a punch but is absolutely delicious from beginning to end.“

“Such an awesome place!!! The ambiance was warm and inviting. Perfect for a date night or drinks with friends. The owners were extremely personable. They both greeted me personally. A must try cocktail lounge“

“Beautiful music and perfect ambiance! Will definitely come again.“

“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.“

“Went to Cliff’s last night while in KC for a volleyball tournament for our granddaughter. She has celiac disease.
They were accommodating with a broad GF menu and ALL of the food was fantastic!
Best wings I’ve had in years, the corn chowder soup was amazing, the pasta and sandwiches were all wonderful!
We can’t wait to come back!
Thank you!!😊“

“Great food, better staff, good prices and AWESOME food!! Drinks are really unique too!!“

“I’m obsessed with this new spot! Upscale Mexican drinks and appetizers! Staff were very attentive, I never waited more than 2 minutes to be a drink order back.
Atmosphere 10/10! They are sister companies to the Mercury room, this group understands experience is everything!
I have family in Florida messaging me they can’t wait to try it next time they come to town!
They are already have one cocktail up for best in the city.“

“Love it! Great atmosphere, very friendly staff!“

“the staff and meal were amazing“

“This! Place a real good feel, it's the kind of comfy you-WE need!!“

“This little speakeasy is elevated yet approachable- and if the environment doesnt welcome you in, the staff will- as they were so friendly and attentive. I’m so happy KC has this spot! PS- we did The Alchemist, never heard of our ingredients, (was giddy) and the drink. was. amazinggg.“

“This is by far one of the best dive bars around! Well worth it and everyone is friendly and fun!“

“The best birthday dinner experience I've had! They made I feel so special. I'll be a forever patron. ❤️“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the atmosphere and unique cocktail offerings.“

“I’m in town on a long business trip. I was looking for a bar just like this one : not a generic chain bar, small, mainly locals, pool table….this bar is awesome. Within an hour I was chatting to the very friendly local patrons and playing pool. The lady working the bar was so nice and welcoming. I’ll be back for sure before I head out of Kansas. Oh, the beers on tap are freakin’ HUGE! I didn’t eat anything, so not sure about the food menu here.“

“Taste good clean good selection“

“Great music!!! I was there Friday night and the community atmosphere was electric!“

“Flo’s is an institution of Waldo. Gotta come here and join the family.“

“what can you say ...those dranks!!“

“We hosted our cocktail hour for our wedding at The Kill Devil Club while we had our ceremony and reception at The Gallery and it was SO FUN!!! It was the perfect spot for our guests to go while the ballroom was being transitioned into our reception! I would highly recommend Kill Devil to anyone having their wedding at The Gallery Event Space!!!“

“AMAZING Staff, Great DJ Entertainment & A Very Grown & Sexy Classy Environment!“

“My favorite Pop Up Bar! Maxwell & Thomas are Great“

“Great tacos on Thursday and very friendly staff!!“

“Daiquiri’s & chicken wings!!😍❤️❤️“

“As a local, I love chez Charlie's and love that it's a dusty dive bar, but what the actual freak is all over the blinds in the front.? The blinds look like they were splattered with blood and not cleaned up after the crime...seriously concerning..?“

“Patrick's is a great neighborhood bar. Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, music is great, lots of tvs to watch sports, an outside porch and great snacks. I always have a great time when I go! My favorite bartender is Jennifer!“

“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜“

“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.“

“Delicious! Meddys just recently got high praise for KC Mediterranean restaurants on NPR and decided to try it out! Totally worth it! Great food, ambiance, and staff!“

“Just wanted to take a second to complement the staff, especially our server Ryan. He was too kind and brought the table a round of shots to celebrate our first time in and he took the care to notice that I wasn’t drinking and brought me a non alcoholic version. Amazing service and even better food!“

“Lonnie McFadden is an exceptional performer— he seamlessly intertwines moving renditions of jazz classics with KC jazz history and the most soulful tap dancing I have ever seen. We had to leave early this evening and were unhappy we had to miss the last half hour because he and his excellent band delivered a first rate jazz club experience. We will definitely return!“

“Great atmosphere! Great coffee!“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“Great atmosphere and tour! Whiskey was great! A very good time! Highly recommend!“

“I think they undersold this joint in the articles I read around the time it was getting ready to open. It exceeded my expectations. It's still got a casual and laid back vibe (as I was expecting) but the thought put into the decor, etc really shows.“

“Phenomenal use of herbs and spices to enhance quality meats, fishes, and vegan dishes. Have eaten here twice with zero complaints. The lamb is out of this world! Burnt ends, Filet, Shrimp, Smash Burger, and Scallops were a big hit.“

“Gem of a neighborhood bar in the KC Crossroads. The creative menu was easy to navigate, especially when guided by experts Tav and Diana. I tried the signature margarita and the corn n oil (a classic cocktail that’s hard to find these days) Both were excellent but the original creations really stole the show. The “Stage Presence” was beautifully balanced and the “off the rails” captured the smoke and spice of KC Barbecue. The space was open and inviting, with a manicured backbar. We will return when we are back in the City!“

“So much fun and the staff is great!!“
