“good food and great service“

“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.“

After we got some cocktails and everything was fantastic. Highly recommend visiting and taking the tour and staying for a cocktail after!“

“Great place for delicious food, great drinks and awesome live music! I love the way the place looks and the servers are amazing!“

“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!“

“Sweet neighborhood bar tucked away in Strawberry Hill. This is my favorite spot in town. The bartenders are all so kind, drinks are reasonably priced, and the space itself is just a special charm - both inside and outside. I always leave happier than when I arrived (and that's not because of the alcohol). It's a breathe of fresh air to have a spot like this in a busy, growing city.“

“The wings were yummy. Tried the Birria Ramen and honestly... it was just ok.
I wouldn't recommend it.
The hibiscus cocktail was tasty and the added floral garnish was a plus. Customer service was friendly and personable.“

“Fun arcade games, good pizza by the slice and a rooftop patio overlooking the city. I came back here during a visit after moving out of state and it felt like a piece of home being there again. It’s lively, upbeat and great place to get together with friends!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite recent discoveries! I went here for a brunch burlesque show and the drinks are delicious and the service is fantastic.“

“Thirsty Bull Saloon has been a favorite between my husband and I since we started seeing each other. The food, the music, the staff, all of it is TOP notch!!“

“Our group had a great time playing shuffleboard here for 1hr+. The staff was super friendly and explained the rules. The house music playlist was excellent for shuffleboard, somehow. Reasonable prices for the game and for drinks. They had some good local options on draft.“

“Nice lil place for a quick drink. We did the flight of gin and tonics! This was awesome. The drinks were full size drinks, I thought they would be tiny for 3 for $18. But to my surprise they were full size and amazing!! Can't wait to go back and try some of the many other cocktails on the menu!!!“

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

“Worth a visit. The drinks are great, the atmosphere is dim and cozy with a retro sports vibe. They have mocktails. The Bangarang is a great choice with or without alcohol. Make sure you get your hands on some Disco Burger.

Vegetarian options: They have pretty good veggie burger.“

“This has to be one of the strangest bars I've ever been to, but I welcome it. A former funeral home, turned bar, it has a unique atmosphere. Yeah, it's cash only, but that's not a big deal. They have antique pinball machines and a good selection.“

“The 90s, The 90s, The 90s!!!!“

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

“Great food…one of the best I’ve had. Smoked corn was fabulous! Staff was extra friendly and the owners came around to make sure everything was good. Highly recommend!“

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

“Great place to just chill!“

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

“Wasn't very busy or crowded when we came and the waiter let us enjoy our conversation and still checked on us plenty.

The mushroom sandwich I had was actually excellent... and he made this custom drink for me using blackberry grenadine and vodka sour.. with a frothy egg white and a small flower garnish for the perfect touch. Excellent idea

Everyone thought the sandwiches were great.

My opinion... save your calories . The 'gooey bar was really more of a dry crumble. Nice flavor but I wouldn't pay for it again“

“I have been wanting to try Nighthawk for a while now and after dinner at Town Company was the perfect opportunity. The space feels both large and cozy thanks to the decor and lighting. The music was lively and the drinks were fantastic. $3 for a small basket of spiced popcorn creates a great snack to go with the post-dinner drinks.“

“Took my son here 12/21. We are both drummers and thought this would be a cool experience and Drum Room did not disappoint. He had the Salmon, I got the brick chicken. That's a dish that will stay on your mind. Excellent overall experience. You can tell the kitchen is operated by actual chef's. Bar staff were very friendly. We'll be returning for sure. If you're in downtown KC MO and you're looking for actual great food, I highly recommend.“

“Great experience for family and friends! The staff was extremely welcoming to our group (6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 1-10) . We were nervous the kids may get bored but they LOVED shuffleboard and the fact that there were other options - connect 4, corn hole, and the arcade - the kids were in heaven.

The food takes bar food to the next level - our favorites were the hot pepperoni pizza, the Thai chili shrimp, and the buffalo Quesadilla.

We finally got to taste the Kelce's Garage Beer! It was very light and refreshing- sort of similar to a Coors light but better quality. The mocktails were also delicious - highly recommend the blueberry lemonade. It was so refreshing.

Lastly the staff made our visit! Kennedy was amazing behind the bar and Spencer was outstanding helping to get us set up with the shuffleboard, games, and always making sure we had yummy food and drinks.

I can't wait to see what else they bring to the bar as you can tell everyone is invested and they are adding new features all the time - fire pit, outside lanes, more TVs and I was told darts are coming soon! Love this spot.“

“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)“

“Space/vibe amazing. Drinks great. Food horrible. They have a different menu than posted online but we gave it a try. It’s all microwaved box lunch style from another local restaurant. That place is probably fine if you eat there-but microwaved fries? No that’s. We didn’t even eat most of it.
Absolutely go for drinks and a cool space. They need to work on the food!“

“Our first visit to this excellent restaurant. Delightful ambience, outstanding food, great wine list! The service was fantastic—Anthony is a real gem! His knowledge of the menu was extraordinary and his recommendations were outstanding. His timing was perfect—he was always right there at the right time! Loved the Meingang and the struedel and chocolate torte were delicious. The sauerbraten was out of this world! So long as we can sit in Anthony's section we'll be back!“

“I didn't try the food so I can't comment on that. The crowd was eclectic. If you're into wide range of ages and a comfort level type place then this is your kind of bar. The bartender is personable and everyone else is nice. The bathrooms are clean. What else do you want in a dive bar? Got a pool table if that's your thing too. Try it, it's great!“

“Great for a few shots and drinks, or a burger and beer, or just to watch the games and laugh at the singers! Staff is always friendly and if they're not to you, fix yourself!

Parking: There is an entrance from the main road (Brighton) and the cross street (directly in front of north/front of the building).

Wheelchair accessibility: Although the lot is a little "uphill" it's still flat and easily accessible. They have low tops inside as well!“

“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.“

“I would love to keep this bar a secret but I can't help but share. If you're looking for a small town, dive bar feel, THIS IS THE PLACE!! Excellent service, prices, ICE cold beer and plenty of TV's for your viewing pleasure. Don't miss out!“

“Great time at the Jurassic Park Tiki Bar! Wonderful atmosphere and great drinks!“

“Superb food and wonderful wine in a charming setting“

“The staff is always friendly. The food is so delicious. I have had the breakfast items and lunch items you cannot go wrong“

“love this dive bar in the northland“

“VERY Small but the people and employees are Awesome!! They have a great choice of music on the machine but they also pay and play it for their customers too. I loved playing darts and meeting a couple new really Sweet People. Did I tell you it's a SMALL Place?.. Just so you know! But, you will have fun. They have beer, drafts and liquor drinks. If not busy then its fine for wheelchairs. Otherwise I recommend going elsewhere. I went 2 nights in a row, during Santa Caligon Days. Had a Blast.“

“We had a happy hour at Howl at the Moon for my fiance's birthday and overall had an amazing time. However, one of my friends had an unpleasant experience with the woman working at the front letting people in. She ended up leaving after only being at the bar for 10ish minutes, while the rest of our group stayed.

I was upset by this, and reached out to the event manager, Shasta, so explain our dissatisfaction with how we were treated by one of the employee's. To say that she handled the situation perfectly, would be an understatement. She offered to schedule us with another happy hour and was overall just so pleasant and kind. I'm just happy that she remedied the situation and we are all looking forward to going back!“

“No food. Cash and credit card. Non smoking. Great bar. It's your typical corner dive bar. Limited beer selections, no drafts. Full stocked booze. Service on my first day was great. Friendly staff and customers. It can be your home bar if you don't come in with attitude like you own the place. Lots of bad reviews, but my experience for the first time in was great. But understand this is a dive bar. If you know dive bar etiquette, it's golden. At this time beer is about $3.50 a bottle.“

“My husband and I popped in here before seeing a comedy show & T-Mobile Center not knowing anything about the place, and wow we loved it! The bartender Robin is so personable and good at what she does. The divey atmosphere had us feeling right at home. Not to mention, finding reasonably priced drinks downtown is practically unheard of! We ended up stopping back by after the show, and plan to come back any time we are in the area. Thank you Robin & Zoo Bar for a great experience!“

“My kinda place good drinks no problems everything cool“

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