“This is the coolest place in Kansas City! I was blown away by this gem. It is by far the coziest warehouse space I have ever been in. There are several conversation areas set up and so much soft seating to choose from. There is a small but excellent board game collection which was a great surprise. The book selection is so well curated! I had a delightful time hanging here for a drink and a browse. I will absolutely be back next time I come thru town. I loved this place so much!!!“

“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.“

“I am soo glad Nicole, the owner of the City Market Coffee House has decided to share her recipes with the rest of us! The breakfast/lunch menu was full of the no fuss kind of meals you could make at home, but she makes them much better. Not over priced huge mounds of food, but delicious, reasonable priced items with wholesome ingredients. (And the bloody Mary's are a meal in themselves ;-)“

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

“Great experience! Welcoming to all!!“

“This lounge is moody and eclectic. The vibes are always present every time I step in. The staff in its absolute entirety is TOPNOTCH. You can see the amount of detail that went into the entire process from the staff, the interior, the drink menu, the music. Everything in this bar feels as though it was handpicked. The long ways cocktail is hands down the BEST drink I’ve ever had when I want something that packs a punch but is absolutely delicious from beginning to end.“

“This is a must stop gem for a date night or just to kick back and have fun. He blends upbeat fun times with music that hits your soul. He also teaches you about the history of jazz in kansas city and really about how each song came to be. This was a genuinely a fun time that I wish would have lasted longer. The band was equally amazing as Lonnie!!!“

“They had a nice variety of beers from different breweries. The service was good and the food was good. We spent a little over $50 on food and beer for 2 people, they’d not bad at all. There was no parking available in their side and back parking lot. We ended up parking on the street. However they do validate your parking spot if you find a spot to park in their parking lot. They have a ramp which is handicap accessible.“

Anyone who leaves less than five stars has personal issues they need to work through.“

“the staff and meal were amazing“

“It appears to be a speakeasy but it’s actually pretty loud in there. Signs nearby indicated pay for parking but we parked and eventually dined at Anthony’s next door. Drinks are great. We didn’t explore any food options. Waitress was wonderful!“

“Everything we got was amazing! The meatballs were a dense but decedent with the sauce. The vodka pasta was good, but the chicken parm sandwich blew it out of the water!
Love the atmosphere as well as the weird swan sink faucet and will be back for the happy hour. Services was a tad bit slow, but not slow enough to knock it down a star. Everyone working was very nice and our server was awesome!“

“The best birthday dinner experience I've had! They made I feel so special. I'll be a forever patron. ❤️“

“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!“

“I like Grinders but the description of the “preferred viewing upgrade” was completely misleading! It was crazy hot so we got it strictly for the A/C Not anywhere near the stage and could barely hear the music when we went to get a beverage at the coffee shop (which is the a/c “lounge “) And the view was of the side of the stage and could barely see any of the performers. I will never pay for that upgrade ever again. Someone definitely needs to update the info on their ticket and venue site.“

“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜“

“They have the most unique drinks I have ever seen. One even comes in a little trash can 😂. Staff is super friendly. Small place, easy to miss so look carefully when you arrive. Highly recommend!“

“AMAZING Staff, Great DJ Entertainment & A Very Grown & Sexy Classy Environment!“

“It's the best dive bar in all of Kansas City—the only downside is that you might run into some homeless people in the area. It's just a few blocks from the Westport neighborhood. The people who go there are really nice—you get to hear all kinds of stories,cheap beer and 🎯 also they sell cigarettes 🚬“

“The food is great. Bartenders are attentive and friendly“

“Highly recommend getting a flight/sample of cocktails!“

“Great local bar in the heart of Englewood. Love their Moscato. Owner Mary Ellen is a super person and always makes you feel welcomed. Support small business. You won’t be disappointed.“

“First time here and definitely worth the quick streetcar from crossroads. An amazing espresso martini. Wife had “plot device” and said it was delicious. Vibes are great weather your starting or ending an evening. Small, intimate, good specialty menu. Will say, the part of town is still being redone so give them a little grace on location.“

“Great place, atmosphere, doing it again! #RushTraining“

“Great tacos on Thursday and very friendly staff!!“

“My friends and I went to the Hey, Hey Club to do some celebrating!! Our waitress was phenomenal! Thank you for a great night!“

“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.“

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

“We accidentally stumbled across the Black Garlic while looking for someplace to eat near the Uptown Theater. What a WONDERFUL discovery we made. Starting with the atmosphere, which had such a cool, sleek vibe. We had the pleasure of having Monica and Terry serve our table. They gave wonderful drink recommendations, and the drinks were outstanding and beautiful. The food… I had the Crab Cakes which were some of the best I have had. My husband enjoyed a dish called Giya which was a pork shoulder with a black mushroom rice. And our friend had the shrimp tibs. All of us were floored at how delicious our food was. We have already recommended to several friends and this is definitely a place we will keep coming back to! This experience was 10/10!“

“Fish and chips were amazing!“

“Great Place to enjoy drinks“

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

“Great place for us. we have been going to John's since they opened and they only had one little room it's wonderful to see how it's grown love it I don't go out all the time however when I do that's the place to be. the music suits my soul.“
