50 Best Bars near Independence

“Very underrated. We eat here during the day, late morning/early afternoon about once a month. Service is always very good and food is good as well.
The downfall would be that even at 11 in the morning it's dark. And while I don't remember seeing people smoke in the establishment, there are ashtrays available.“

“Brunch was delicious and many interesting options!“

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space.

Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“Whenever in a town for the first time, we look for an Irish pub. We’re very happy to have found Paddy’s. We had the bar/bartender to our selves for a short while. Discussed Irish whiskeys, history of the bar and more. Had a great time but had to move on. The Casey’s from Michigan.“

“I stopped in when I was visiting from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Cameron, one of the bartenders, knew his stuff, was great for conversation, really helped me sort through the private barrel selections, and helped me have a very interesting and excellent time there! He helped me settle in on a bottle that was truly unique and fantastic. Cameron and Carl were both amazing! Definitely someplace I would stop back every time I’m back in town which is pretty much annually. Thank you, wise guys as the name fits both in terms of the tradition back with the mafia and the wisdom offered by the folks that worked there. Super grateful!

Not to mention the pizza downstairs, it was pretty damn fantastic!“

“I've eaten at The Post many times, both with my family and with friends. The food is always great and the menu has something for everyone!

“This is kind of a dive bourbon bar but definitely worth stopping in. Taylor the bartender was absolutely fantastic. They climbed a ladder to get a bottle that we wanted a pour of. We got a flight and the store pick of Russell’s was out of this world but unfortunately not for sale. The restroom was clean. Our only complaint was the bar and the menus were really sticky. Like so sticky that we washed our hands in the fountain outside when we left. However, definitely worth a visit if you’re a bourbon drinker because they have over 500 bottles.“

And Donna sets the tone with the karaoke and I have always had a great time! This story tells it all. I am 61 years old and have been able to drink legally since I was 18, So needless.to say I have been in a frw bars in my life. Not just here but around the country and parts of the world. And in all that time I never had a bartender come back after I paid them and say the accidentally charge me too much and gave me change back. This is a testament to how awesome this place is.
