“Good bar food, neiborhood bar vibe. Our waitress was fantastic. Normally I get the pork tenderloin sandwich. Which is huge and very good.
This time I had the cheese steak sandwich which was too salty for my taste.

Carbonated Barley Soup

“Fun local dive bar. No food but they have a few snacks for purchase, sometimes coffee cake next to the free coffee station and a popcorn machine (not always in use). Couple dart boards in the back. a gold game and a gambling card game too on the bar. Covered deck in the back. Not a lot of options for beers, but good specials and fair prices in general. They make their own moonshine, and it is DELICIOUS. Apple Pie and Peach are king (to be fair I didn't try the other 2), peach tastes like fresh peach nectar. Highly recommend.“

“This place is one in a million!!!! Very hole in the wall, but modern. The double decker tacos are too die for. Also, they have great specials everyday. I had to go back for steak night and the way it's seasoned, just melts in your mouth. Nicole or Nico as she goes by is phenomenal!!! Her service and attention to everything is impeccable!!! I never had an empty cocktail. Check this place out if you're in the area. Nicole will make sure you have a great time and great laughs.“

Chez Charlie Cocktail Bar • $
3809 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City - 6.03 miles

“Five stars because I love this bar and it’s my go-to dive bar. I will say this though because I’d never want to ruin a star rating but I feel strongly about saying that the bartender working on Memorial Day evening around 8:45 reflects the opposite of what hospitality should be. I asked for a Negroni (a three ingredient, equal part drink) and the bartender laughed and said you aren’t a cocktail bar. Of course and that’s why I love Chez, but I thought I’d ask. The bartender didn’t even look up at me, zero eye contact for me and the other two members of my party. It would’ve been so simple to kindly suggest another option or at least smile, but it felt so extremely unapproachable and unkind. I’m very familiar with the bar scene in Kansas City and frequent chez Charlie, but was disappointed in the complete lack of warmth or friendliness. Genuinely impacted my night in a negative way and that just stinks! Let’s just be nice to one another.“

“I didn't eat here and only partook of the fine libations! Great bar that should be in the Scoundrels Field Guide, graffiti everywhere, dim lighting, cash only and year-round Christmas lights!
Go when you're in the mood to avoid the hype of downtown and enjoy yourself in a welcoming atmosphere with a strong sense of a real Bucket-of-Blood!“
