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

“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!“

“We came here for a nightcap after dinner and loved it. It's super cozy, with comfy chairs, a beautiful chandelier hangs above the bar, excellent service and really good drinks. The interior is French-inspired and beautiful. Definitely recommend.“

“Love this place! After a hard day of shopping at Price Chopper I thought I would stop by for a drink. I am glad I did ! The atmosphere was festive with numerous TV blasting all types of sports. Tiffany the bartender was awesome! Drinks were awesome and on time
She recommended the double decker tacos which were amazing!! Definitely a great place and I will definitely be back !“

“We had a great night with friends at Conroy’s! Sat in the bar area and had Fish and Chips and Pork Tenderloin….superb food drinks and service!! Could not have asked for higher quality food! Thanks for a great night! I will be back!“

“This place is one of the few bars I've been to that feels genuinely relaxing. The atmosphere is incredible with vintage decor, there's often live music from touring and local musicians, and ample space to sit and talk. The staff is fast, friendly, and kind. It's a must visit in KC. Can't say enough great things about this please, the list is endless.“

“Anthony was nice, explained and demonstrated how to throw the Axe and where my step should be after watching me throw the first one. Also, a great price.“

“Great place to go hang out with a variety of friendly people. Good drinks, good service, owners always does amazing events from bike night, food trucks, bands, parties, benefit runs, toy drives, holiday dinners, sip and paint nights, chiefs watch parties, taco Tuesdays, Karaoke nights, pool nights, thirsty Thursday, always celebrates holidays, and so so much more. These are just a few to name off. The owners goes above and beyond to keep customers entertained and welcomes everyone in to join all the fun. People are friendly and welcoming. For some this is like a second home. The owners and bartenders definitely care about their customers. Great place to check out if you have never been.“

“We did the distillery tour followed by the Mad Hatter speakeasy pop up. The tour was quite enjoyable and our guide Tony was awesome! There was a great selection of cocktails at the Mad Hatter and we enjoyed them all. Would recommend both the tour and the speakeasy.“

“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.“

“By far my favorite little lounge in KC. It’s just a short 5 minute walk from my apartment so the convenience is there. I love the retro aesthetic mixed with modern design, and when there’s a DJ it adds even more to the experience. My drinks are always great and the customer service is attentive and friendly. The little burger truck outside, Disco Burger, is sic a fun and amazing addition on those tipsy nights you’re craving a good burger. My friends and I LOVE Varisty Club, and our favorite bartender is Caleb. He’s always so nice and efficient with us. Such a vibe. I would give 10 stars if I could.“

“Kudos to you for your courageous stand during the pandemic. I know that cowardly Corey Owens, whose business is PaintingSolutionsSKC, a painting company with what he and his wife think is a “clever” logo featuring two intertwined Nazi swastikas, left you a bad review for requiring vaccination for your customers during that dangerous time and I just want to commend you and thank you for doing your part to protect fellow Americans. Stubby little Nazi coward Corey can’t even spell “riffraff” but I’m glad you made sure he knew he was a piece of it. You are not alone; crappy Corey is coming after my community too, focusing weirdly and troublingly on victimizing our children. Nazi Corey is both pathetic and dangerous and needs to be kept out of places where decent people go. Good luck and thank you again for your courage and strength.“

“Great date spot! It gets a little crowded on days like Valentine's Day or Saturdays, but the patrons are generally very understanding and won't hog Ms. Pac Man for too long. That being said, they rotate games frequently and the staff is very nice. And it is a 21+ only bar, so that is a plus.“

“I always find a new drink to love here! Perfect for girls night out or date night. The crew here is so friendly, and they make excellent recommendations when I want to try something new on the menu.“

“Great time throwing axes give it a try.“

“Super cool place that looks like a 80-90’s basement with separate living room areas with Nintendo/sega/N64 respectively to play on. Great drinks too.“

“Everyone at this establishment is amazing and so incredibly helpful.“

“What an awesome place! they had the latest pinball machines and I enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere.“

“I could eat 178 of the Chorizo ragoons. 😮‍💨“

“Great place to go and have a great time! The people that own it are super nice people and the bartenders do an awesome job! I truly love them! I actually saw the owner and her husband at planet fitness where I workout off 64th street! They are very special people to me! Mark Butler“

“Well priced, amazing tasting, craft cocktails!! I popped in on 10/4/2025, just before last call. So it was loud in there, but only because everyone seemed to be having a great time! The server and the bartender were very kind and gave fantastic service!“

“Great chill atmosphere. Sarah was great in explaining the rules for shuffleboard. Great prices and a lot of fun!! Fun for couples, groups or parties!!“

“Got the pastrami on rye with extra pastrami. Meat was good, dressing decent - but the bread, was it microwaved? Warm and soggy. You gotta do the bread right.

Update Nov 7 2025 - went back in and asked for rye bread toasted and it was so good. Updating to 5 stars!“

“Great service, food was great!“

“My wife and I’ve been coming to the drum room for decades. We really love this fun hotel bar with a ton of history. Our latest adventure transpired on Easter weekend 2026.

We encountered a lovely bartender by the name of Jennifer, who was super kind and helped us do a little tasting of some different spirits we were interested in.

And she crafted our usual cocktails deftly. She even gave us a tip on how to get into another restaurant that we wanted to snag a reservation for.

Jennifer’s great service was appreciated and very well regarded by my wife and me.

We look forward to another good afternoon or evening at the Drum Room soon.“

“Moose Lodge Hosted The ABATE of Kansas District #5 End of the Year Party, it was a blast!“

“This was a great experience. A local bar where you can also throw axes! I had such a fun time when I was here. The staff was really friendly and explained the process really well to me. They had a lot of options for games to play. The drinks were also super tasty.“

“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.“

“Great place to just chill!“

“I enjoyed the decor. it was a cozy place.“

“I've been a customer here for many years and I always leave with a smile. The bartenders are super cool, as well as the regulars. What I enjoy the most is meeting new people, most are also locals who have interesting stories to share. A great place to stop in and relax while sipping a cold one. Clean restrooms, games and snacks available.“

“Food was amazing! 1000/10! Definitely worth the 7hr drive“

“best bar around!!! we're all friends here!“

“I worked here. The owner moved me to a new apartment and gave me 100 dollars just because. I still wear my PPT shirt around town and have some pressed pennies. Great food. Great family owners. The most cozy hidden gem in Kansas City!“

“The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious. The staff are very attentive, nice and always smiling. Shuffle board is so fun. They also have other fun games to play while you’re there. The restaurant and restrooms are clean and neat. Did I mention the food is delicious!! I give it 5 stars“

“Nice people, good service. Cold Beer with a smile.“

“Backstage Bar was easily one of the best spots I’ve been to in a while. The vibe is laid-back but still lively, the drinks are excellent, and the whole place has that kind of atmosphere where you end up staying way longer than you planned.

A big shoutout to Tristan behind the bar. He was friendly, quick, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Even when it got busy, he kept the energy up and made sure everyone was taken care of. It’s rare to find a bartender who can make great drinks and make the experience feel personal, but Tristan nailed it.“

“Dodson’s is a great spot all around. The service is consistently excellent, the drinks are good, and the vibe is relaxed yet lively. There’s always a nice mix of people, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. A huge bonus is being able to order a Cosmos Burger through the window—such a great touch and the perfect late-night pairing with a drink. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to.“

“Fun and cozy atmosphere with a great cocktail menu.“

“Man... such a cool place .People are greatSeems like they force new people to come in, and it's not a bad thing...You want a comfortable place to come hang out, saySousanda...Told her I'd spell it wrong..Soxx'xxx'????Thank you“

“If you're looking for a quite place to go during the day, then I recommend you to try it out. They don't sell any food except some frozen pizza's to eat if you're feeling a little tipsy, eat a pizza too before you hit the road, just suggestion, LoL 😆“
