39 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.“

“Fantastic Service and Amazing BBQ!! We got Pulled Pork, Brisket, beans and coleslaw. All of it was fantastic, 10 out of 10 recommend 😋“

“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.“

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

“No hype here. Just good quality comfort and reliable service. I don't love this type of food on the regular, but for bar food and basics, they do a great job and have a good variety of options. Their pizzas are good, the Italian sandwich delicious, and my favorite are their homemade potato chips. Plus it's easy in, easy out, with spacious booths, perfect for taking my mother-in-law, who needs a little assistance getting around. And wear whatever you want! Oh, and no one side glances you if you (or your partner, in my case) orders a whiskey at lunchtime.“

“Great place with great staff.“

“Best burgers in town and a very fun and good energy atmosphere. Got my daughter addicted to the curly fries and burger.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“very good food. very clean“

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

“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 😀“

“love live music and all the amazing artist“

“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 place to meet friends and others!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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).“

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

“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.“
