“I had an incredible dining experience at Journeys inside Argosy. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was perfect—elegant yet relaxed, with attentive service that made me feel like a VIP.

The steak was cooked to perfection; I had the filet minon with side of lobster, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The sides complemented the meal perfectly, and the wine list had some excellent choices. The attention to detail in both the food and the service was top-notch.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and a memorable evening at the casino!“

The bartenders are all so kind, drinks are reasonably priced, and the space itself is just a special charm - both inside and outside. I always leave happier than when I arrived (and that's not because of the alcohol). It's a breathe of fresh air to have a spot like this in a busy, growing city.“

“Cheval Bar in Kansas City is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy exceptional cocktails in a uniquely charming atmosphere. Katie, the talented mixologist, crafts the most delicious and delightful drinks. Her skinny margaritas and French 75s are the best I've ever had—perfectly balanced and full of flavor.

The atmosphere at Cheval is quirky and entertaining, making every visit a new adventure. The décor is eclectic and full of personality, adding to the overall experience.

One of the standout features is the bathroom, which is a destination in itself. With its stunning chandelier, it's a surprisingly elegant touch that perfectly complements the bar’s distinctive vibe.

Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a fun place to unwind, Cheval Bar is sure to impress. The combination of expertly crafted drinks and a captivating atmosphere makes it a standout.“

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.“

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!“
