49 Best Bar & Grill in Kansas City

“Just had one of those nights where everything came together at Gael’s Public House.
The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming.
The food was next level. You can tell it’s made fresh with real flavor. Every bite hit just right.
The vibe was exactly what I needed. Good music, perfect lighting, and the patio was so relaxing.
Definitely coming back soon.“

“Loved this little hidden gem! Has a 70s vibe to it. Darker decor. I love places that have secret hidden doors. Drinks were cheap and strong. Food good too. We will definitely be back.“

“This place is an old friend. I run into people, I grew up in here. Same family runs this place still. That is what makes this institution click.
The Burgers still rock and hand cut fries with each order! The pizza I will try out. The beer is Ice cold the place is just! Great hometown atmosphere. Great food. I watched many a royals game here thoughout the years. Even though I don't live in Waldo anymore. I still make the drive to this place no question!“

“I love The Ship! It has become our ladies night out location, with dancing and drinks. The service is always on point. Mazzy always has a great smile, wicked sense of humor, and laugh that fills the room. Kelly supports the fun, and keeps our glasses filled. They are a huge part of why we keep coming back. The live music and inclusiveness makes it feel like family.“

“great place to meet friends and others!“

“The food was great but I wouldn’t come here on an evening of you want good service. My husband and I did a tasting tour near by and wanted something to eat before we headed back to the Air BnB. Immediately you could tell how the experience was going to be when we didn’t order drinks right away and didn’t see our server again for about 15 minutes. She was very obviously more interested in paying more attention to customers that ordered drinks right away. She didn’t give her name otherwise I would I mention here. We only got one water and she didn’t come back to us again. We went to go to the hostess to try to pay our bill, ended up stopping her as she was leaving the bar. I give 2 stars out of 5. That’s only because the food was really good. I don’t think I would come back here. Maybe during the day would be better but I don’t know if I’d come here again anyway.“

“Beautiful and at a good service“

“Called ahead to make sure the patio was dog friendly. Catered to us and out dog so well! Food (Teriyaki salmon bowl and Baja tacos with blacked shrimp) was great so was the spicy bloody mary and beer (on Pubpass!). Nice cold water for the pup! Would return 😀“

“Lindsay and her famous pickle shots will keep us coming back every time. Best in Kansas City, if not the whole world.“

“very good food. very clean“

“Taco Thursdays are awesome!! Kim Satz is an amazing bartender!!!“

“Great Atmosphere Food And Service Top Notch“

“love live music and all the amazing artist“

“Had the cheese fries and they were awesome! Cheese sauce was flavorful (not the same old cheese sauce that others use). The fries stayed crunchy even with the sauce over them. Also had a bacon/cheeseburger that was very flavorful. And of course the giant hot wings. Their homemade blue cheese dipping sauce was very good, not overpowering. Great service even though it got crowded. I Highly recommend!“

“It’s my granddaughters favorite place. She has to be gluten free and they offer several options. Great service!“

“Wonderful service, salad was great and love watching the Chiefs!!!“

“Great Food and service. Would come here again.“

“great bartender from Boston loved the drinks and food.“

“Came here as part of a St Patrick's Day bar crawl. Kind of a neat place, but looks very run-down and dirty. They have arcade games, pool tables and just one single bar. The bar as a whole was packed so the line for a drink was pretty long. The bathrooms were very dirty and had a lot of broken items in them. Made me feel like I needed a shower after stepping inside. It's a cool bar so I do recommend it, but maybe after they've cleaned and not when there are like 150 people in there.“

“Top notch food and service!!!! Definitely recommend it.“

“This store has my entire line of Artisan lotions and cremes. I am thankful.“

“Great fun always and the deep fried tacos are a must try ! Wed. open mic/jam and Fri and Sat live music ! great place to hang out“

“Great place to laugh and dance and hang with your friends and family!! But love the drink specials and the food is the bomb.com!!“

“Very Friendly Welcoming Staff! Great Food! Great Drinks. Thank you!“

“We got to enjoy this stop because of the the Pubpass and so glad we did! They had a front patio we could enjoy with our pup. Service was great. She was super patient with us, as it was our first time eating there. So disappointed they were out of impossible dogs, but what we got was superb! The Cajun Mac was delicious lots of well seasoned creamy sauce and since it was Wednesdays I got it for $3 off! The grilled Samlon was great and the Teriyaki was delicious. We were happy to be on the patio though as there was a odd smell (maybe a sewage problem).“

“If you love women who make you smile and have great attitudes, Dine and drink here. Lina is an amazing bartender, server, host and all around person. The atmosphere is great and I loved the food.“

“Love brickhouse! Food is unmatched. Highly recommend the Philly egg rolls, Philly cheese steak (smothered), and chicken nachos. Love that they do happy hour on Friday and Saturday (especially in this economy). Always have the best time and the staff is a vibe.“

“Jeanne was the best. Recommended a great dinner very personal and fun to talk to at the bar 5 stars just passing through and loved.“

“Friendly Service and food is great!“

“Just got carry out: chicken fried chicken/sliders/chicken strip kids meal for dog. Everything was perfect. Portion were good and tasty. Couldn’t be happier with this place. I think this is our 3rd time with same results. Solid👍👊“

“Great local place for live music on Friday nights! Has an awesome, neighborhood bar vibe. Cozy and the staff are all friendly. The food is super tasty too. I love the Nashville chicken sandwich. If you like a cracker style crust, give the pizza a try. Its clean and well lit with lots of parking. Definitely give this fun local spot a chance if you like a casual bar/grill atmosphere and want to support local.“

“Very nice staff, they truly have a friendly neighborhood vibe. What stood out was the bartender took one look at my ID and started using my name every time they talked to me. It felt nice and polite. I was thanked (by I’m assuming the owner) on my way out for stopping in. It’s the little things like this that keep small businesses in business.“

“08/26/25: Today is a good day.
Rarely RARELY will I refrain from adding salt and pepper to my plate of food HOWEVER this day, the Chef was 5⭐ exceptional. I asked for a medium steak. It was indeed cooked medium. The seasoning and sear on the vegetable accompaniment was perfect. The potato wedges-crispy yet tender and moist on the inside. ThiS is what the elite Chefs speak of when they taste a perfect plate of food. Bravo to the Chef, She is amazing and pays attention to what we order. I will bring family here to sample the steak because this is a great cut of steak. Thank you Madame Chef, never ever doubt your powers. Thank you.“

“Staff is very personable. The the owner, everybody calls her Mom, makes you feel welcome and comfortable and like you wanted to call her a mom too. I've been watching the baby. The food is excellent. MJ cooked it. Security staff is on point. This is the only place in the city but I feel comfortable and enjoy myself“

“Great live music, food and service!“
