“This is my favorite place to go to in the city to just get away from it all and escape. Love the variety and selection of movies. It's one of the cornerstones in the KC community and brings a lot of people together. Perfect spot for fans of film or for those that want a solid time out.“

“Great vibe…………………………………..“

“My husband and I decided to eat here late at night. The awesome thing is they are open super late. The food was good. The staff was super nice. We really enjoyed the experience here. You do have to cut through the casino to get to it so have you ID with you! I would recommend this place for sure!“

“They’re an incredible venue. Admiring their support for Raul Malo of the Mavericks and his family during his battle with cancer.“

“So much fun and the staff is great!!“

“My partner and I came last Wednesday close to closing hour. The bartender was sweet and made one of the best dirty martini with gin that we've had in a while. Well-balanced and smooth to drink. The atmosphere was beautiful. We will definitely be coming back again.“

“This place is one of the few bars I've been to that feels genuinely relaxing. The atmosphere is incredible with vintage decor, there's often live music from touring and local musicians, and ample space to sit and talk. The staff is fast, friendly, and kind. It's a must visit in KC. Can't say enough great things about this please, the list is endless.“

“At 2:40 the lady at the bar comes yelling it's 3 time to go I look at my phone and asked if we could finish this pool game she literally got in my face yelling bar time is different from your time. Within minutes I was being snatched up and thrown out the bar. I called the cops at 2:43 for the assault I just received cops said they looked at the camera and I was trespassing I asked for my report they said I was in the wrong and I'm the one who called them not thirsty all because I tussled back with the bouncer because everything was in there my purse my pool stick and phone. Who wouldn't tussle back for being snatched up for no reason. My leg is bruised and my toe is sprained. And my new jersey is ruined.

“Best trivia night ever! Go on Wednesdays“

“One of, if not the, best bar in KC. Spent almost an entire 8 hours with some friends out in their patio and it was a really amazing experience. I've gone many times now since I live so close, and my boyfriend swears that their burger has overtaken town topic for best burger in kc, while I think it's a close second. The service is amazing, the patio is gorgeous and so is the inside, the drinks are amazing, and so is the food. The 70s theme is perfect for me and my bf as well, since we are lovers of all things 70s. All around a truly incredible bar, I would definitely recommend!“

“Kudos to you for your courageous stand during the pandemic. I know that cowardly Corey Owens, whose business is PaintingSolutionsSKC, a painting company with what he and his wife think is a “clever” logo featuring two intertwined Nazi swastikas, left you a bad review for requiring vaccination for your customers during that dangerous time and I just want to commend you and thank you for doing your part to protect fellow Americans. Stubby little Nazi coward Corey can’t even spell “riffraff” but I’m glad you made sure he knew he was a piece of it. You are not alone; crappy Corey is coming after my community too, focusing weirdly and troublingly on victimizing our children. Nazi Corey is both pathetic and dangerous and needs to be kept out of places where decent people go. Good luck and thank you again for your courage and strength.“

“It's down the street from where the hipster crap happens. The police have eyes on THEM not us. We're left alone!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘“

“Anthony was nice, explained and demonstrated how to throw the Axe and where my step should be after watching me throw the first one. Also, a great price.“

“Great place with great staff.“

“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.“

“I just want to say thank you to this staff! While playing the pop-shot game I lost my grandmothers ring. It fell off my hand while shooting. I gave my information to the staff in hopes they would find it at close. One of their staff stopped people from playing the game and got INTO THE MACHINE and opened it up to look and find my heirloomed ring in the middle of a busy Friday night. I cannot express how grateful I am for the staff for understanding the importance of that ring and for helping me find it.“

“Cheap beer, good music, and authentically immaculate vibes in the weirdest grunge aesthetic.“

“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 !!!“

“Lori and her crew treat everyone life family here. They don’t know a stranger.“

“I love this bar, and all the bar tenders are amazing. another person said: "Come in a stranger, leave a friend" this is so true. the first time I went , I left with 3 new friends! Every time I go, I make new ones! I've met so many amazing people here. This is how the world is supposed to be. No matter your age, gender, race or political views. All are welcome. (But keep it our little secret)“

“Great place to just chill!“

“That Review Is overdue. Precisely a year...Sadly cannot remember the Name of that Kind, knowledgable, Patient and helpful Bartender. She was Just outstanding!! Drinks been Lovely! We just wandered in with No expectation as I actually fancied a Sour Beer...but It can be Always Gin o clock. Right? Little did I know was that the best places for It. Found a new gem on my KC list as well as a nice place for my Friend who lives there. Met the Owner by accident who was very approachable and Michael was delighted that I 'm from Germany and made It into his Bar. We got treated with a private Tour and I defenitely Return when am in town. Much Love“

“Great chill atmosphere. Sarah was great in explaining the rules for shuffleboard. Great prices and a lot of fun!! Fun for couples, groups or parties!!“

“This has to be one of the strangest bars I've ever been to, but I welcome it. A former funeral home, turned bar, it has a unique atmosphere. Yeah, it's cash only, but that's not a big deal. They have antique pinball machines and a good selection.“

“One of the best server / bartenders ever she kept an eye on us at our table continually replenished our drinks and served us a great pork chop with mushroom gravy and brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes we had an outstanding evening in the drum room obtw the old fashioned is fantastic“

“We went to Muni for the first time and it wont be the last.

The setting is vibrant and trendy with an extremely friendly and helpful staff.

The entire menu looked amazing but we settled on the Rice Bowl and the Kow Soi Beef. Both were unique and delicious.

The Kow soi beef is in a delicious coconut curry sauce and delicious noodles.

The Rice Bowl is loaded with braised pork, pickled onions and a delicious spicy sauce to drizzle over it all.

My wife had the Cock and Bull cocktail and said it was delicious.

This is definitely an asian fusion restaurant that you will want to try.“

“Great service! Like, really great! Had one end of the bar full of what appeared to be regular patrons. (Regulars). The bartender made us feel like one of them. She encouraged us to come back!! We will, beings we live “just down the hill”“

“I cannot express how wonderful the King G’s is, both as a fun/casual drink spot, and as a venue for an event! We reserved the Pit Bar for my fiancé’s birthday party recently. It was the perfect venue for the occasion! Our guests had a wonderful time - the drinks were incredible, as was the food we had catered (all through King G) - I highly recommend the assorted panini tray and pretzel bites. However, what really sets this place apart is the staff. The GM was constantly checking in on us, making sure we had what we needed. We loved and appreciated how attentive they were for our event. The bartenders were so friendly, and made some killer cocktails for us. 10/10 would recommend King G’s for any future parties or events! Thank you!“

“Great atmosphere here - it's dark, cozy, & exceptional food & drinks here! They serve the classics but also have such unique drinks & flavors as well - not a huge food menu but the appetizers are delish! If you come over Christmas time, they have it decorated so festive and cute & even have cute Christmas themed drinks! Definitely need to book a reservation in advance!“

“What an awesome place! they had the latest pinball machines and I enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere.“

“This was a great experience. A local bar where you can also throw axes! I had such a fun time when I was here. The staff was really friendly and explained the process really well to me. They had a lot of options for games to play. The drinks were also super tasty.“

“The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious. The staff are very attentive, nice and always smiling. Shuffle board is so fun. They also have other fun games to play while you’re there. The restaurant and restrooms are clean and neat. Did I mention the food is delicious!! I give it 5 stars“

“Quaint... nice to just sit and have a drink 🥃“

“My favorite Pop Up Bar! Maxwell & Thomas are Great“

“I've been a customer here for many years and I always leave with a smile. The bartenders are super cool, as well as the regulars. What I enjoy the most is meeting new people, most are also locals who have interesting stories to share. A great place to stop in and relax while sipping a cold one. Clean restrooms, games and snacks available.“

“I enjoyed the decor. it was a cozy place.“

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

“This little hidden gem is a vibe! Love it 🥰“

“Wild Child Libations gave all the vibes and left me with no words 🖤 A perfect sister bar to next door's Drastic Measures, Wild Child is "drastically" different in all the best ways! This bar is the epitome of next level sipping with a focus on creating an atmosphere for all to imbibe and raise a glass. The bar menu has a lovely wine list, low ABV cocktails, and has a full zero-proof menu offering; all of which are taste tester approved. Each drink served was delectable, and the bottled cocktails...mouth-watering. From the bottled cocktail label artwork to the plant house vibes, Wild Child truly unlocks an atmosphere you can't find anywhere else in Kansas. A little jungle, a little art deco, and a whole lot of amazing humans make Wild Child Kansas City Area's hottest new bar where all are welcome. P.S. The vibes are immaculate, but if you can hit golden hour....you just might cry at the sight of golden rays as they adorn the stunning picture windows and capture the beauty within ☀️“

“I’ve been here twice, soon to make it a regular place for me. I went in yesterday after I heard of a passing of a fellow Veteran. I had a great night and the respect that everyone has for each other at this bar is awesome. I had too many to drive and was given a ride home by a fellow patron(they were sober). But where I’m getting at is that there was care. What bar do you go to where they care? Thank you Alley Bar. -A soon to be regular.“

“We had a wonderful time last night at the sip and paint event. This was our first time here and it was fun! we had the big rich roast beef sandwich and fries and WOW! Super soft bread and butter tender roast beef.we had a great bartender brandy I believe she said. This was a girls night out for a friend and I so we did the sip and paint event. We loved it. drinks were great and they have a custom shot menu with some really awesome shots. we tried the chocolate covered cherry shot. I will definitely return for lunch or dinner with my husband. Great comfortable atmosphere. 10/10 for sure! Thanks for a great event!“

“I worked here. The owner moved me to a new apartment and gave me 100 dollars just because. I still wear my PPT shirt around town and have some pressed pennies. Great food. Great family owners. The most cozy hidden gem in Kansas City!“

“Small crowd for a Saturday night, but it made for the perfect neighborhood pub experience. The bartender was waiting on the few tables with patrons away from the bar. She was very pleasant and attentive. They did have a perfect Guinness pour, as advertised. This is a smoking bar. Small menu of typical bar food, which I think is perfectly appropriate for the atmosphere.“

“best bar around!!! we're all friends here!“

“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!“

“One of my favorite Hidden bar in the West side. Check IG for when they are open. Somewhat weather dependent hours/days. Usually Thursday- Saturday.
No food unless a pop up vendor. Super unique, very plant focused, smallish service bar but all the necessities!
Just the coolest place around!!“

“i was introduced to B.S. Saint Patrick's Day 23yrs ago. I'm a big fan.“
