“Hole in the wall???Yes!!! And proudly so!!The people and staff, make this place so hommie.. if you have the honor to be a regular here.. you can count yourself as a good person!Prices are more than fair, but really it's all about the crowd and people that make this a perfect hole-in-the-wall.Thank you for the great time I was able to spend with ya'll.“
“Tried this location for the first time and love the atmosphere! I went for brunch on a Saturday morning which was surprisingly slow (granted it was Easter weekend). My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartenders immediately greeted us! Service was very quick too. Every worker we engaged with from the host stand to the bar was attentive and friendly ☺️ the manager (Russ) was also super kind and made us feel very welcome!For brunch, I ordered the avocado toast. The bread was slightly burnt on the edges, but the avocado spread caused the middle of the toast to be mushy. The dish itself was also pretty bland with no significant flavor. On the bright side, I really enjoyed the French toast!I will be coming back for brunch again to try another dish! Even though my plate wasn’t anything to rave about, the atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience a great one.“
“I absolutely loved this place! The food was great, the staff was very kind and attentive. The pricing was right too! You get a lot for your money and it’s *delicious*. I’ll be coming back the next time I’m in Kansas City!We also had a vegetarian in the group who tried the jackfruit and was a fan!Vegetarian options: The jackfruit was great!“
“How isn’t this place 5 stars?! WOW. My date and I had an amazing experience from the atmosphere, the food, and our incredible waitress Danielle. She was such a treat and very knowledgeable of all the products. I will definitely be coming back!“
“My husband and I went to the venue for the first time to see Savannah Dexter & Brabo Gator perform and it was AWESOME! The only drawback was that there were children there which I don't believe would be an appropriate place for them on a Saturday night - especially when people are drinking. Other than that the staff was super friendly and the whole atmosphere had a really good vibe. Be sure to take cash since it is a cash only bar with a couple of ATM machines in the building but who wants to pay those fees? I will definitely be back!“
“My wife Gina and I had the Schnitzel and it was as good as we had or better in both Salzburg and Berlin. The Stiegel draft beer bought back memories of visiting the brewery in Austria. Highly recommend a visit it’s a great place. Our server was great as well open.“
“My husband and I have been to Swordfish Tom’s at least half a dozen times in the past couple of years and it’s always been a top-notch experience. Sure, sometimes you have to wait outside for availability, but it’s worth the wait and I personally think it adds to the “speak-easy” vibes. Drinks are phenomenal and they always seem to have a wide variety of cocktail options. Even if you don’t see something on the list that sparks your interest, the bartenders has always been so friendly and willing to spin up pretty much anything your heart desires! We love it for a date night!“
“This is the best theater in the Metro area. I always check to see if the film I want to watch is playing here first. There might be bigger screens or more movie selections elsewhere, but nothing beats this place in terms of a great movie atmosphere.“
“Very cool room hidden off the alley. Had an Italian Beef (Jim's Beef) and had low expectations. Being from Chicago I was a bit snobby about anyone else outside of the Windy City doing an IB right. My apologies. Great sandwich. The bread was perfect. Tender, juicy meat. Giardiniera nice and spicy. My only gripe would be the lack of fries as a side. I had the jalepeno slaw and it was good, but fries are the natural side to a lovely beef. Will be back.“
“I stumbled across this place on Facebook and had no idea what it was. They were hosting a nickelodeon themed party with trivia, coloring, and themed drinks!I was nervous at first because we were sharing tables but I got to meet some of the coolest people there and had a blast!! They even hyped me up for winning 4th place in the coloring contest haha.If you love board games, meeting new people, and looking for adult fun without all the craziness of downtown this is a great place to go! I think they host dungeons and dragons here as well and I would love to learn how to start.The food is tasty, but it could be better. But it's not a restaurant, it's a gamers paradise!“
“My first time in, and I found it to be charming. A bright and tidy place in a more historic part of town. The baristas were sweet and fun. If you get a drip coffee and choose to enjoy on premises, you pick out your own mug and get a free refill. It was a perfect Sunday morning stop.“
“Up-Down quickly became a KC classic. Everyone will find a game they enjoy and every game is only 25 cents (via tokens bought at the bar). The bar is expansive and the rooftop patio is a great place to enjoy the city views. If you're hungry you can grab a slice of pizza inside.“
“I had the duck and a sake flight. It was delicious and the flight was super interesting. My husband had the salmon. The menu is more set up for sharing, but the 2 dishes we had were full servings. It's also farm table seating. Meaning long tables they sit multiple parties at.Service was wonderful. Atmosphere was stunning.Highly recommend reservations.We got the brownie dessert, this wasn't my favorite and really expensive for $15. The video is of the creme Brule (not the brownie)“
“This place is pretty cool. It’s tucked away but easy to find. We came for some drinks and appetizers and got the wings, which were just okay… last time I visited I got a pizza and it was delicious!! There was live music and the service was good.“
“A nostalgic environment. The menu is limited, but the food is excellent. Note that the menu slightly changes from week to week, or month to month or seasonly. So check their website. The artwork at the 21c was beautiful. And the TV was showing silent movies from the past. An excellent restaurant for dinner. We'll definitely be back.“
“We live a block away and have been waiting for our spot to open up. Food we want to eat, great drinks and service that makes us feel like locals, and this is the spot. Zach was taking care of us and we’ve been back and haven’t had a bad time. Except during that Denver game and it had nothing to do with the place. Try the “
“I didn’t get any pictures of our food, but it was fabulous as always! But the real star of the show tonight was our server, Chloe. She was so sweet and so attentive. Our drinks were never empty, food was served quickly, and she offered up some great conversation! Very personable and charismatic!! Will definitely request her next time we go back.“
“We had the best Saturday fun-day here. Logan and Candice were friendly, fun, engaging, and hilarious. The crowd was chill and friendly. Any bar with jcheese balls is a win, and the overall design and vibe of the bar is top notch. I am sad we don’t live closer, but we can’t wait to go back. Thanks for an awesome day!“
“If you need a place to impress someone, have a date night, or just a cozy comforting meal, Antler Room is THE place. Every dish is a slice of heaven, and the homemade pasta is to die for. The staff and atmosphere are always warm and inviting. GO... any chance you get!“
“Ludo's Shuffleboard bar is such a great addition to Martini Corner. After a friend date night at Noka, we went here to check it out for the first time. I love the fun, colorful branding that continues to the menu itself. The cocktails are as creative as they are delicious. They offer great wines and beers too - something for everyone. I've also been to Ludo's for a work happy hour where they rented out the whole bar. It's such a great size for happy hour "takeovers" and the staff was super friendly, helpful, flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend a night out at Ludo's or even renting it out for your next event!“
“We LOVE Milwaukee Deli to the point where we knew we had to have it as a late night snack at our wedding! We worked out a catering order with Jon who was so great at assisting us and making sure what we ordered showed up at our venue at the requested time! We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day and just got the glorious news from our venue coordinator that the pizza had arrived! Our guests DEVOURED this pizza. Thanks again to Jon and Milwaukee Deli for helping to make our special day even better!“
“We visited Blade & Timber for the first time (None of us had ever thrown an ax before) to celebrate our daughter's 17th birthday. The service was excellent. Food was great. But our coach Winston went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having the best experience possible! We can't wait for our next visit!!“
“Really fun and laid back spot. Apparently the owner is my second cousin once removed (I think) so my dad was excited to go here when visiting from AR. It was a beautiful day and I love that on such days they’re open to the outdoors. That plus some great early 2000s pop punk classics really made for a great atmosphere. I asked for their most popular drink which was their blueberry specialty cocktail. It was delicious!“
“Kyle owns this great KC gem. It’s a clean and friendly atmosphere in the heart of KC. Beer, whiskey, wine, no cocktails. Kyle is a beer lover but won’t steer you wrong with you spirit selections! I had a great time Chatting with him and trying Penelope and Barrel Craft bourbons!“
“Pic is of the lobster tacos and skillet queso. They were both amazing. We also had the Korean tacos and street which were delicious as well. Skillet queso was too spicy for the kiddos but perfect for me. Finishing touch was the amazing KC Taco margaritas. Definitely coming back.“
“Overall a great place; this has become mine and my wife's local spot.Twice monthly pool tournaments; an assortment of areas to play checks, chess, or dice; local beers; and fantastic cocktails.One of the best old fashioned I've had in a while (if you're a fan of Rye, if not, make sure to mention it).Have spent several long nights here shooting pool and enjoying good company.Parking: Street parking directly next to the bar, but its a gamble if there will be any available. You may have to drive further down and take a short walk.“

“This place is so fun. Great options for drinks, fun atmosphere, cozy. I usually go on weekdays because it is very small and gets tight. But it's full of cool patrons and a radical staff!Warning ..you might make friends here.Parking: Parking lot is small but not impossible..I used to find spots back home with my T16.“
“Elise at Toms Town was amazing. She gave a great tour and the tasting with her was so fun. She has us addicted to the double oak Bourbon!If you do not drink bourbon, you can still enjoy the tour. Loved looking around and enjoyed the video of all the history that this distillery has. The food was an added bonus!“
“First time here, good cold beer and laid back atmosphere. Bartender was quick and polite. Seems like a great place to stop and knock the dust outta your throat. Western style throughout the place . Definitely worth a visit, will be back !!!“
“This is a great local dive joint! But note: do not wave the bartender over to take your order...go to the bar and place your order! Rookie mistake! Food is simply a fried culinary delight. The smash burger is amazing especially after cigar and drinks at The Shop. Housemate fries are a must and the tots are great. Can't go wrong with both! Staff is friendly and amazing!“
“It does have pinball which is what I was there for. The area at night can be iffy late night but, don't let that stop you from checking it out, especially if you love pinball. You can even bring outside food in, bonus!!. The space is nice sized and the service is great. I'd definitely go back and check it out.“
“We live in KCMO, about 15 minutes from here, but this is our favorite little bar. A bit divey, but it’s a very clean, well-kept spot. Not something you can typically expect of a dive bar. Sammy is a great bartender, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended whether you live in the neighborhood or take a drive to get here.“
“You come here after you have had dinner to get some GREAT choices for all kinds of draft. They pour the new Boulevard strawberry wheat that was smooth and so good. Lots of gathering space and cool industrial atmosphere. You can’t get food here, but any type of craft beer is here. Sea Dog on draft is here as well—awesome! This is where you want to meet up with all your friends to laugh and tell stories as you enjoy a drink or two or three.“
“First off the bartenders here are amazing. They are always attentive and great to chat with. For a casual bar they have some exceptional pizza. Also I am personally very happy with a bar that has Coors Banquet Beer as I am not that hard to please on the beer selection side of life.“
“My boyfriend and I LOVE micheladas, it is our thing. So we set out to find the best ones in town. I had seen people I know post about it so we decided to try it out. and oh my gosh. these are the BEST in town. They are very authentic. You can get them to go which is cool and also they come in a big cup with chamoy on the side. They put the right amount of beer and other ingredients, they just do it right every time. My bf and I always get regular michelada with the dried meat on it and it tastes really good. The workers are always super nice to attend to us and make our drinks very fast. There is always people when we go in just chilling with their friends and it is a chill place to just have a drink. They also serve fruit with tajin and other things that are fruit with lime and tajin/ spicy. for sure recommend for an authentic michelada!“
“I’ve been here twice, soon to make it a regular place for me. I went in yesterday after I heard of a passing of a fellow Veteran. I had a great night and the respect that everyone has for each other at this bar is awesome. I had too many to drive and was given a ride home by a fellow patron(they were sober). But where I’m getting at is that there was care. What bar do you go to where they care? Thank you Alley Bar. -A soon to be regular.“

“Vegetarian options: Veggie Burger & SaladsKid-friendliness: Kids menu available (10 & under) with plenty of options, dessert included (bring your own pen/crayon/marker to play the games)Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no steps to enter. Some seating is not wheelchair friendly (booths that have a step up) buy there are plenty of regular tables. Seating is very close together, so keep that in mind.“
“First time here and it was to photography a birthday party. This club is definitely bigger on the inside than what the outside shows. The current bartender was nice and helpful. Seem to be plenty of space for a small type of event. Has a back room with a VIP section and another back room with a pool table.“
“You can even smoke in here! They have a badass pool tournament you can join if you dare. My husband and I were straight stuck on their arcade type bowling game!! The bartender was full of hilarious jokes, and so were the patrons. I really loved this place and plan to return!“
“Concur, this is a friendly, even historic, watering hole in one of the original grand downtown hotels of KCMO. And thank goodness they didn't mess with the original woodwork and theme of the place. The neon sign outside is precious and should never be allowed to be messed with! Whether you're here to watch (or catch) a game or just hanging out with some pals for a nightcap, hard to beat this small venue away from the huge crowds some places downtown are seeking. I can keep coming back here just fine.“
“Absolutely loved our visit to Chicagos! The festive Christmas atmosphere was a delightful touch during our trip from Canada for the Chiefs game. The owners and staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The locals added to the fantastic vibe. Highly recommend this little gem for its great atmosphere and fantastic hospitality“
“Had so much fun! I am from out of town and had also never been to a drag show before. I visited on 3/14, when they were having qualifying rounds for a drag competition. Performers were great and the whole place was a lot of fun! Food was pretty good, I enjoyed my drink ($15/person to sit at a table for the show), and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Thanks!!Dietary restrictions: Myself and someone else in my group have some dietary restrictions that the wait staff was very accommodating of. They wrote down the specifications and made sure it was passed along. Much appreciated, thank you!“
“Incredible place to dine or drink at. Ambience is next-level. They have different themes at different points throughout the year, it's worth going to each one. The food is incredible, the drinks are where the character of the place shines as they are catered to the theme. My wife and I try to make it as often as we can and have always had amazing service and an awesome experience every time. I hesitate to write such a good recommendation because reservations are sometimes hard to get but we really love the Conductor Club and it's a great excuse to visit Union Station and see a unique part of it as well.“
“Really fun, staff was very nice and helpful towards my kids. Also made a mistake on my purchase on their website and they refunded me the difference without me even asking. Bar service was fast and professional.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, we were there at happy hour and our kids were the only young folks there but the staff gave them plenty of attention, they had kiddie cocktails on the menu, etc“
“New to Liberty-10years. Wednesday at the Corner Bar is Taco WEDNESDAY. $2 tacos-fresh fixins.100% better than any fast food.I miss very few Wednesdays at the Corner Bar. Patty is a great bartender, server etc.She is not a story teller,just takes care of business. Ambience:What ambience ? Go there for food ,beer, friends, pool, Sports on TV.“
“My husband and I, and some dear friends, thoroughly enjoyed the 10 course meal with wine pairings, in the Tasting Room. It was the most amazing experience!! The food and cocktail/wine pairings were glorious and the experience was perfect! We will be back! Thank you for such an wonderful evening!“
“Havent been there in awhile. But i have to say the people are friendly and i always had a blast. The only negative thing i would have to say is everytime i went in there nobody knew how to make my favorite drink... Long island ice tea. But we figured it out each time and the staff were very welcoming!! I will definitely return if i get the chance or am in town :)“
“I had the fried chicken sandwich. I have Celiac Disease and haven't had a fried chicken sandwich in about 10 years. It was amazing! I love that the whole menu can be made gluten free. Service was friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!“
“Slick little spot. Has a great vibe. The onion rings were pretty bad, tasted like a slightly cooked onion inside a mini cake donut, but I doubt people come here for the food. The Band was INCREDIBLE. They have pretty attentive staff as there was vomit on the stairs but it was cleaned up pretty quick.“
“A while back someone posted in a FB group wondering why people had not gone to a particular restaurant. Their complaint was that there were no pictures or posts about this restaurant. I must admit they were correct, and I set out to do something about it. So yesterday afternoon I got in my jalopy, and I drove over to a café they call Hard Core!When I got there, I ordered up a nice cold Dunkel and their version of the club sandwich. You see they take three slices of wheat bread and toast them to perfection and then they put onto that bread a good smear of mayo and on top of that mayo they put down some lettuce, cheese, turkey, and add the second slice and on that second slice they put a little more cheese tomato ham and bacon put the lid on it, drive a stake through its heart and cut it in half.Holy Moly!This is where human endurance is tested for you see that sandwich sits well over 3 and 1/2 in high! Even after attempting to squeeze it together, unless you have a lower jaw that you can unhinge, you cannot wrap your mouth around it. And when you do as I did and take a bite out of the bottom half and then a bite out of the top half, so you can get all of the flavors, I was amazed at how incredibly delicious and fresh this sandwich was.This is an incredible sandwich!Well done Hard Core CaféWell done indeed!It’s a Thursday afternoon and I'm filling my belly with a fantastic club sandwich in Gladstone!!“
