“Good bar food, neiborhood bar vibe. Our waitress was fantastic. Normally I get the pork tenderloin sandwich. Which is huge and very good.
This time I had the cheese steak sandwich which was too salty for my taste.

“Great food music was a bit loud. Good burgers, Thai chicken sandwich was delicious and huge, tender and tasty. Fries were good bit not crispy, maybe they were ready before sandwiches or maybe because sandwiches were placed on top of the.. But would definitely give them another try.“

Chez Charlie Cocktail Bar • $
3809 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City - 5.93 miles

“Five stars because I love this bar and it’s my go-to dive bar. I will say this though because I’d never want to ruin a star rating but I feel strongly about saying that the bartender working on Memorial Day evening around 8:45 reflects the opposite of what hospitality should be. I asked for a Negroni (a three ingredient, equal part drink) and the bartender laughed and said you aren’t a cocktail bar. Of course and that’s why I love Chez, but I thought I’d ask. The bartender didn’t even look up at me, zero eye contact for me and the other two members of my party. It would’ve been so simple to kindly suggest another option or at least smile, but it felt so extremely unapproachable and unkind. I’m very familiar with the bar scene in Kansas City and frequent chez Charlie, but was disappointed in the complete lack of warmth or friendliness. Genuinely impacted my night in a negative way and that just stinks! Let’s just be nice to one another.“

“I didn't eat here and only partook of the fine libations! Great bar that should be in the Scoundrels Field Guide, graffiti everywhere, dim lighting, cash only and year-round Christmas lights!
Go when you're in the mood to avoid the hype of downtown and enjoy yourself in a welcoming atmosphere with a strong sense of a real Bucket-of-Blood!“
