50 Best Bars near Prairie Village

“Top notch personnel and an absolute great place to enjoy. Highly recommend!“

“After spending fourteen years in KC, we developed a handful of staple restaurants, and BRGR was definitely one of our weekly go-tos. The quality and consistency of the food, paired with exceptional customer service, kept us coming back every week. Bread & Butter Concepts has set a high standard across all their restaurants, and BRGR is no exception. My latest takeout experience was another shining example of their commitment to excellence—Matzumi and Saye provided such genuine and authentic customer service, truly showcasing emotional intelligence. I can’t wait for my next visit to KC and will definitely be back to BRGR. Thank you for bringing bliss to National Hamburger Day!“

“Went to a show at The Garage. Not a bad seat in the house, clean bathrooms, easy access to the bar, and CHEAP DRINKS! Got a shot of Jack and a Hamms for $7...AT A SHOW! Love love love this venue! Thanks again Chris for the hospitality. Beau Nasty's In The Pit Radio Show 💪🫠🤘“

“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!“

“Went to Cheval on a Tuesday late afternoon. Beautiful place for a cocktail. Gorgeous gothic look with antique wooden bar and circular conversational tables. Many drink options to choose from. Not sure if they provide food. It was February so we were a bit cold in the corner near the windows. Bartender was okay. Made good drinks but not 100% menu knowledgeable or friendly. Needs to work on his presentation of the cocktail and not pull old wrinkled napkins out of his apron. We enjoyed experiencing something different in KC.“

“Absolutely one of the best SOCCER ( futbol) venues in the country as they have hosted the EPL's supporters club of Newcastle United. Great TV's, great food, great drinks, great service and a loyal following. TOON ARMY !!!“

“Best trivia night ever! Go on Wednesdays“

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

“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.“

“Only been there once but had a great experience. Went on a Friday night. Staff was friendly and professional. Lots of open space that quickly filled with tons of happy, interesting people. Bathrooms were clean. Drinks were just as ordered and made quickly. Will visit again!“

“We really enjoyed the food and the drinks! The selection of food was great for a bar/ distillery and very delicious.
We tried their flights, it was amazing to see how the different bottles have their own character!
We appreciate the watch parties they set up for the community and the Great Gatsby -ish decor inside.
Overall, definitely a KC gem!“

“Emily was amazing. She was super attentive got all of our orders and everything she had a party of 20+ and was awesome!!
but the lady that brought out our food was not very nice. She was very disrespectful and mouthy She had long curly hair not sure what happened but she was extremely rude and disrespectful to our party. Emily was great and I would come back for her!“

“Sk8bar is awesome! Its great place to just be yourself, and the shows are awesome!“

“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.“

“Definitely and interesting spin on Austrian food, some dishes are more accurate then other but in general I would say they have a decent collection and get quite a few things right. Moreover they have a great aekactik. Of imported Austrian and German beers.

The service was really good and friendly.

Definitely worth to visit if you are looking for something different.“

“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.“

“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 service, food was great!“

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

“Great time throwing axes give it a try.“

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

“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!“

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

“Cheap beer, good music, and authentically immaculate vibes in the weirdest grunge aesthetic.“

“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“

“We have had Earl’s Premier on our radar for a while. Decided it would be the perfect place to go explore for our 19th wedding anniversary. It felt like we were on vacation the moment we walked in the door. John and Nico showed us great hospitality.“

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

“Great place to just chill!“

“One time visit,I played there in a band,people very responsive & respectful.Bar is very nice but more variety beers would be a plus. Sound quality very good due to wood beamed ceiling,two small,one person unisex restrooms,very clean overall.“

“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.“

“Staying at the Hilton Presidents Hotel in downtown Kansas City we stopped by the Drum Room located on property and accessed via hotel lobby or its side entrance. Good and atmosphere were so good we ate there 2 times. Started with Fried Goat Cheese and Beet Salad and finished with the KC Beach Burger with garlic fries and Meatball Farfalle pasta dish. All were amazing and didn’t venture far on our second visit and skipped the salad as the 3 items were way too much on the first evening. Second evening we shared a bottle of Sav Blanc from N.Z. Amazing.“

“great bar,chilled atmosphere and u can also play darts“

“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.“

“Quaint... nice to just sit and have a drink 🥃“

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

“My husband and I with a few family members went to see our son’s debut as an edm guest dj. We are not your typical clientele for the KC edm scene. With that said, we were very pleasantly surprised at Aura! What a fun atmosphere. The staff were very kind and fun. The music was loud yet you could carry on conversations. Drinks were very reasonably priced. And as a woman, I was very appreciative of the restrooms cleanliness, size and number of stalls. Such a cool vibe with the graphics, lighting and diverse crowd. Aura has a very inviting atmosphere.“

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“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!“

“Nice place, good food, and great service but the light fun atmosphere just tanked when the manager walked by. Not what you want to see on a Saturday night at this price point! It was actually awkward to experience the way the manager treated the employees. He literally yelled across the room at the bartender for no identifiable reason. Sometimes it’s watching the way someone treats others that ruins a nice time more than anything. It really is a nice place with good food and great service hopefully this part of the place can change. Appears mine isn’t the first review that involves the manager so hopefully they will fix this issue.“

“Hidden gem, all the waitresses are awesome and the menu is huge! Never had a bad meal and I’ve gone here for years!!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite Hidden bar in the West side. Check IG for when they are open. Somewhat weather dependent hours/days. Usually Thursday- Saturday.
No food unless a pop up vendor. Super unique, very plant focused, smallish service bar but all the necessities!
Just the coolest place around!!“

“Lauren was such a fantastic server! She was very attentive, kind, and asked the kitchen on several occasions about modifications for dietary restrictions. The Lychee cocktail was delicious! Really enjoyed the entrees and sashimi dishes we ordered. Would recommend the banana/marshmallow desert. Amazing!“

“Really nice bartenders and the atmosphere is really nice. I highly recommend going to the Buzzard Beach.“

“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.“
