15 Best Beer Bars in Kansas City

“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us“

“Best host/server Ariana! Food was great. Drinks weren't very strong little watery not bad after ordering the passion fruit margarita was really good. I will say my coffee drink was good not much rum but still tasty. Food options were very good and satisfing.“

“Absolutely one of the best SOCCER ( futbol) venues in the country as they have hosted the EPL's supporters club of Newcastle United. Great TV's, great food, great drinks, great service and a loyal following. TOON ARMY !!!“

“Best trivia night ever! Go on Wednesdays“

“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.“

“Love up down!! I’m familiar with the Milwaukee location and loved that there was one in KC!! Only thing is, the game tapper (my personal fav) has a burnt LCD screen and needs replaced, also the left pour joystick does not work at all. Bummed about that, but overall had a fun night :D“

“We had a party of 12 Crystal was our waitress tonight,the service she gave was outstanding. The food was amazing. Everyone loved what they ordered.“

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

“Had an amazing experience here after dinner for a late night drink! We really enjoyed the service and the calm atmosphere - not to mention the amazing view. Overall it was cozy, but also big enough so not noisy at all, good vibes music playing and also very family friendly. There’s a space on the side for families to play games.

We ordered two cocktails, one Passion Punch (rum based) and one Black Honey (gin based). Both were really good, and I especially liked the passion punch - it was sweet, smoky, and had a bit of spice.

Our server was also very nice, he shared amusing stories of his shift during the World Cup events - and was very attentive with his services. I would come back to visit this bar next time I’m in town.“

“We came in at about 5pm on a Thursday evening and everything was incredible! Our service was friendly, attentive and speedy. We tried some of the happy hour appetizer specials and their Thursday burger specials, and some of the taco plates. All the food was absolutely delicious; hot and fresh and cooked to order!
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great experience and amazing food!“

“Claire was our server; Very friendly and personable, wonderful service; Hope we didn't talk her ear off, but she was a sweetheart.

We were a party of three; We ordered the BBQ Feast (Half slab of Ribs, Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Brisket, Spicy Sausage, slice of toast, helping of Pickles); It was enough for all of us; Very delicious; came out quickly; we ate like animals; Had to take left overs to go.

We will be back“

“This place is electric! Great Dj and great atmosphere! Love this spot in P&L!“

“Excellent service!! Of all the Old Chicago’s in and around the KC/Liberty area this one’s the best. Some of the best salads I’ve had. Also the chicken tenders are mouth watering! Don’t miss it“

“This was a cool little place! It had 3 dining options. The butcher shop, casual and fine dining. The fine dining was upstairs and just a little fancier. The casual was downstairs and was smaller. You could actually sit in the butcher shop and eat! They had meat for sale and the kitchen was in there too. Cool place. My husband got the meatloaf and I got the ribeye. Both were delicious!“
