This is the best spot in Power & Light! Live music, great service from the bartenders and servers (especially Bekah), and fair drink prices. Love it here.

Fun environment especially if you like live music! Bekah made my experience much more than I thought it would be! My friend ran into An issue and Shasta/Lauren handled it and we enjoyed the rest of the night!

Howl At the Moon is always an amazing experience. Bartenders and waitresses are always helpful and in a great mood. The atmosphere is out of this world and is a great place for fun always!! I would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for some fun at a great place with great music.

Ali is by far the best person I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. She was very attentive and made sure that our evening was the best that it could be. I will be back and I hope that I'll have the pleasure of having her wait on us again! Well done Howl at the Moon!

I’ve been here a total of two times now and I really love it! My first visit was one of their themed nights (emo night). I didn’t have a table and it was pretty busy that night so I stood by the railings near the back of the bar. The band was fantastic! The bartenders were fast and super nice. The second time I visited I paid $120 for a table and honestly will do so every time I go. It was super nice to be closer to the stage and have somewhere to set our drinks. You can have friends with you by your table even if they didn’t want to buy one which (I guess contrary to others opinion) I really enjoyed! I saw in other reviews that people didn’t like how crowded it was by the stage. I actually didn’t mind it. The open space by the staged is used more as a dance floor and I thought it was fun to get up from our table and go dance and socialize. The band engages with the crowd, played our requests, and was very talented. I really don’t have anything to complain about with this place. Everyone I brought with me (all different ages) really enjoyed it too! Definitely my favorite!!!

Really disappointed with the experience here. A couple of the musicians were really talented but the rest were embarrassing to listen to. Playing several instruments poorly is not what we were expecting in a piano bar at all. The music selections were like from a cheap wedding.We paid $140 (you get a $40 drink credit) for a table and were excited to be seated right up front but after like 2 songs the whole front area was filled with people dancing (terribly) and so we couldn't see the musicians at all. Plus everyone was really drunk so they were spilling drinks everywhere and bumping into our table trying to shove the chairs out of the way. Complete rip off. The server was either really slow or just totally overwhelmed so the drinks took forever.We've been to piano bars before and so I was really excited for high quality musicians and a good show but all we really got were a couple dudes screaming into a mic, one really good female singer and a TON of very drunk college kids and their parents. So weird.Definitely don't waste your money here.

Have loved piano bars and Howl at the Moon locations around the country. This however is more of a dance club with backtrack thumping music. If we wanted excessive dance club vibe (with excessive vulgarity), we would have found a club.And frankly they didn’t pull off the dance club that well.Just disappointing.
Loud and rowdy, as the name implies. We didn't eat, but the drinks were average, yet priced like an exclusive location. We paid $28 pp for a reserved seat, which included approximately a $10 pp discount on drinks. For 2 Skrewball singles the tab was $28 minus the $10 discount. In some bigger cities, this might be ordinary, but here in Kansas City that price is very high, even in the trendiest places. The singles were not a drop over single. The onstage music was good, and they engaged the audience well, which made the higher-than-average cover charge more acceptable. Our server was mediocre, but another one working near our table assisted us a few times. This might be the right place for a rowdy once in a lifetime event, but not for an ordinary weekend night, and we won't choose it in the future.

This is always a stop for us when we are in Kansas City. The performers are great and the bartenders are on top their game.

This was the worst piano bar we've ever been to. I paid $240 in table fees for a prime spot for my husband's birthday just to have people stand all in front of us and not be able to see or get to the stage for request. I don't think they even played our request. I left to go to the bathroom and when I came back someone had pushed our seats out of the way to make room for their group. We always go the Howl at the Moon or Pete's Piano Bar when we travel and this was hands down the worst one. We just moved here and will not be back unless they adhere to the typical piano bar seating policies. I want a refund.. total waste of money.

Stopped in off the street (from out of town), not knowing what to expect. Our group had the best time and I personally couldn’t have celebrated my birthday in a better way! The musicians are extremely talented and really engaged with the audience.
