Holy Moly absolute perfection! Laid back and relaxed atmosphere, very clean and it’s truly a place where everyone knows your name“

“We were staying overnight at The Fairfield Inn, and The Summit Grill was recommended to us for a dinner location. We were pleasantly surprised at the deliciously amazing food, quick service, and also our attentive waiter, Travis. I highly recommend the Traditional Pot Roast, and my husband recommends the Chicken-Fried Chicken. If we are in Gladstone again, we will defintely return.“

“I met some friends for drinks and we had a wonderful time. My water glass was never empty and the waitress was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the menu. She was very attentive without hovering. We sat in the bar area and it was a great atmosphere. We got deviled eggs and fries as a snack and everything was delicious. The drinks were so good! I recommend getting a reservation as it was full the whole time and now I see why!“

“I love this spot! the drinks are made with so much thought behind them. lovely atmosphere. great music.“

“At 2:40 the lady at the bar comes yelling it's 3 time to go I look at my phone and asked if we could finish this pool game she literally got in my face yelling bar time is different from your time. Within minutes I was being snatched up and thrown out the bar. I called the cops at 2:43 for the assault I just received cops said they looked at the camera and I was trespassing I asked for my report they said I was in the wrong and I'm the one who called them not thirsty all because I tussled back with the bouncer because everything was in there my purse my pool stick and phone. Who wouldn't tussle back for being snatched up for no reason. My leg is bruised and my toe is sprained. And my new jersey is ruined.

“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“

“This is less a tasting room and more of a cocktail bar. However there are a couple flights to choose from, and they do sell bottles. Not sure why they wouldn't offer flights of their signature spirits - we gladly purchase flights at other tasting rooms. Anyway, came for the absinthe, and though it's a bit lighter than most I've tried, it was quite tasty, and we bought a couple bottles.“

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

“Hillsiders is a cozy neighborhood bar in Strawberry Hill. Great drinks, fast service and lots of different live music most nights of the week. Fantastic bartenders and a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. Make sure to check out the back patio as well!“

“F325 BBQ catered my high school's 50th year anniversary pinic and the food was amazing! Welcome to our family!“

“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!“

“Had a great time at Up-Down! CJ and Brian have been our bartenders a few times and are always fun to see! Super friendly, quick with drinks, and made sure we were taken care of even when the bar got busy. Definitely ask for these two if you stop in!“

“The food was wonderful! I started with the beet salad, then I got the prefix menu two items the wiener schnitzel and the apple strudel! Everything excellent! Cool building and plenty of parking in back. Need to get your ticket validated at the restaurant but, all good highly recommend!“

“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.“

“My favorite bar in Liberty. The most comprehensive bourbon shelf with reasonable prices per pour. Have been going for years and have never had a bad experience“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Easily my favorite weekend hang in NKC. The Commons space attached to Cinder Block gives you so much room to actually sit down and relax without feeling packed in. We brought our dog, grabbed a table near the back, and ended up hanging out for hours playing board games.

Beer is always spot on—you can't go wrong with the French Valley IPA, and their seasonal ciders are always surprisingly good. The bartenders are super chill and happy to let you sample before ordering a pint. Plus, they usually have a great food truck parked out front on the weekends. Just an overall awesome neighborhood vibe.“

“I love this bar, and all the bar tenders are amazing. another person said: "Come in a stranger, leave a friend" this is so true. the first time I went , I left with 3 new friends! Every time I go, I make new ones! I've met so many amazing people here. This is how the world is supposed to be. No matter your age, gender, race or political views. All are welcome. (But keep it our little secret)“

“This was a nice venue, food was presented well and tasted fine. The bar had a good variety and specials for the event. It was a great space. They had a selfie station, my only complaint was the table and chairs setup was very tight and difficult to get around.“

“Great place to just chill!“

“The Alley Bar was our home base for the Netherlands during the 2026 World Cup, and they treated us right from the first match to the last. Kroketten, Brouwerij ’t IJ Blondie on tap, and a crowd that grew every week. Veteran-owned, community-minded, and genuinely welcoming to a bunch of Oranje fans taking over their bar on match days. Already looking forward to the next reason to be back.“

“love this dive bar in the northland“

“This is, no joke, one of my favorite places in the whole city.“

“great service and a ton of beer on Tap....super comfortable!!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“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!!“

“My kinda place good drinks no problems everything cool“

“Noka was beyond wonderful! I’ve never had a dining experience that was so unique, surprising, and delicious.

Our server, Lauren, was top-notch: attentive to every need, full of great recommendations, and wonderfully warm and engaging.
Head chef Megan was just as lovely—so friendly and welcoming, and incredibly talented. Every dish we tried was fantastic. The manager checked in with us to ensure that we were having a good experience.

The chicken wings were a delicious surprise—an unexpectedly refined take on a familiar favorite. The mushrooms in the fried rice were to die for, and the sushi rolls were amazing. We can’t say enough good things about the food.

The atmosphere made the evening even more special, with pottery, exposed wood, great music, and even a bathroom that felt like an experience of its own. I wanted to move in. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you.“

“Great Food, beer and service. A fun hangout bar after a long bike ride!“

“I've been to Big John's a few times, and have always been treated well, with very reasonably priced drinks. The reason for the review though was because of my most recent experience. My family and I got caught in the storm that everyone did during Santacaligon days. The bartender that evening told me to bring my family inside to be safe. She was worried about our kids. Not only did she give us a safe place to hang out, she also offered my kids some soda's and lots of kindness. She could tell they were worried. I left to go help people with their booths, but my wife, kids and friends stayed until it was safe to leave. They felt welcomed, treated very well. I didn't get the bartenders name that night, but I wish to Thank her for her kindness!“

“This place is the jewel of the neighborhood and of KCNE. Here, not only good things happen, but they are possible because of the owner’s mission of creating a place for making dreamers’ dream a reality. From providing a space for yoga, meditation, selling crafts, singing, delicious healthy food and drinks plus all his employees are happy people and soon greet you by name. Vegans and organics are safe here too. Without PH Coffee the Art Garden would not have had the necessary support and resources it needed to start and grow. Thank you Eric!“

“I was looking for an escape from the odorous taint of very unpleasant dealings with the legal contacts at H&R block, specifically 2 that represented they were part of the H&R Block legal team (????). Not one thing in my communications with them validated legal acumen other than as the joke goes...there lips were moving!.....I saw this restaurant, reviewed the menu and the comments of others. It appears to have the professionalism, credibility and quality service credentials that H&R IMO lacks. I was very impressed with the exciting food they offer and the chance to deal with a quality organization. Looks like fun!!!!“

“Really interesting place. Watermelon and tomato salad reminded me of caprese and I had beef heart for the first time in my life. The bartender was really friendly and the rye cocktail was expertly made. Very different from what I usually get. Love it. Would go again.“

“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!“
