12 Best Bars in Independence

“Love this place, the food is sooooo good, simply can't pick a favorite, but that Tenderloin, Chicken Fried Steak, and the Pork special on Wed. are my top choices. I've never had anything bad there. Drinks are poured perfectly.“

“It was my first time going to this bar. I went for the 8 ball tournament that is held on Saturday's. I really enjoyed myself. It was a great atmosphere, the bartender was amazing and everyone was really down to earth. I will definitely be returning! Thanks Time Out!“

“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!“

“Great locals bar and hotel bar. There's a nice mix of travelers and locals and many regulars of the hotel as well. The bartenders are amazing, so friendly and welcoming and great at their job. We were here for 6 months as temporary housing and now we will keep coming back to this bar to hang out and watch games and see the friends we made here. It's definitely one of the best hotel bars I've seen, and we've seen a few. The menu is limited and they stop serving food at 9pm, but everything they have is good. Even if you're not staying here, come check out the bar!“

“Great little treasure off the square in Independence, Mo. Great food, drink, service and overall ambiance. Recommended for all ages. Will note, if you have a physical disability you may have difficulty entering the bar due to several stairs. I am sure there is accessibility, but I did not seek it out during this visit.“

“Great karaoke Good drinks Great people“

“Sometimes the service is slow. The food is always on point for the price! I get something different every time I go in. I don't recommend the fish and chips or coleslaw. Tacos are awesome, prime rib is good. Tenderloin is amazing....“

“I Came in to 39th st location at 8:00pm to grab order of Nashville hot mozzarella sticks. Lady said they were out of Nashville hot so I went with whatever else they had. Came back 10 minutes later and said they were also out of mozzarella sticks. I feel if a store closes at 10:00 they shouldn't start closing at 8:00. Bad customer service.“
