    Incredible disrespect. Just arrived in the city via train looking for some food before checking into our hotel. Staff said we could not bring our bags in the restaurant offering no alternative and asking us to leave. Then adding insult to injury, we realized they thought we were homeless vagrants as a staff member kicked us off the side walk while we were on our phones looking for another restaurant! (Understandable this is probably funny to read, but it was infuriating in the moment) Food might be great but I wouldn’t know! Screw this place.

    I liked the weird vibe of this place, the robot art with Johnny Five, Terminator, Predator, a Transformer, etc. And the Fried Pickle slices were great. But our server seemed pretty clueless, and the burgers were overcooked and pretty basic.

    The place smells dirty, there’s funky stuff in the corners of the floor just because it’s a dive bar doesn’t mean it should be disgusting inside. The drinks are either too strong or just sour mix. I feel bad for my server last night we had to ask her to get new drinks three times but she was very nice and understanding and the tall door man in the green shirt (dj) made us uncomfortable with his flirting but the wings were decent a little dry.

    New and some friends came here for the wings late at night. It's really laid back atmosphere with great music and love the decor. We ended up playing pool until closing. Good drinks, friendly staff, great wings and lots of board games. Will come back next time I'm in KC!

    I literally go here every Sunday and get the chicken I always ask for extra extra crispy and they are normally fine, but yesterday they said they only fry them to 200 degrees now… if I’m paying for them I would like them to be cooked how I like them. I will not be returning at all and the server girl doesn’t know how to talk to people.

    I liked the bar itself, spacious with pool tables, darts, jenga and lots of board games. However, our waitress had a very snotty, smart a** kind of attitude. She definitely rubbed me the wrong way. Our happy hour drinks were decent, but the nachos were horrible. The big chunks of chicken were tough (and cold) and I paid an extra $1.50 for the white cheese dip but there was hardly any on it.

    Rhythm (& his bar) have been around awhile. Board games, pool, darts, daily specials. Heated patio in front, patio & parking in rear as well.

    Drove from St. Louis just to try a Liquid Marijuana. The drink plus the food was well worth the trip. The server was very DIFFERENT. Honestly I almost lost my appetite. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. But she got the order right, brought it fast, and checked on me a couple times. And the place looks GREAT inside. I'll be back though.

    The bartenders at the bar in the back are the best. I had a drink that made me drunk for 2 days. 😂 but I really enjoyed myself. There’s security everywhere, so I felt safe about that. Great music selection. The food looked good, (that I saw other people having). And my coworkers always go there for food. They say it’s really good. I have to try myself one day. Very casual for dress code. So basically where what you want.

    Management should be more available. It’s a cool bar in a great downtown area! The food is amazing the cooks are very pleasant. Most of the staff is great (it’s a bar w a high turn over rate meaning the workers aren’t staying). The only unpleasant thing about it is the shorter curly hair girl Reece or shareece how ever you spell it. She’s a problematic fire cracker they won’t fire her but they won’t correct her behavior either. I enjoy the bars that let the bar tenders have a drink w you on your visit but I don’t think she can handle it. So it’s her and when you tip on a card they always seem to add extra for the tip like we don’t notice a extra $5-7 dollars being charged, that’s the only thing I can say that’s bad there. Pay cash and don’t drink w the little crackhead when she works.

    Have thought about going here many times but after skimming these reviews it appears the owner is a petty, petulant child who's incapable of owning up to mistakes or attempting to correct any of the issues patrons raise in their negative reviews. Just reflects super poorly on a place as a whole when their awful conflicts resolution persona seeps through in the ways they choose to respond to their reviews online. Learn how to take the higher road and conduct yourself slightly more professionally.

    The delivery time was quick (about 20 minutes). the amount of fries that were given was really sad and they did not include anything that was asked in the order (ketchup, salt and pepper, etc). The wings were good though!

    Super fun hangout spot! I heard about the tacos and seriously.....they are amazing! Our server Brie made us laugh and enjoy the experience even more. We'll be back.

    It was late and they were open. Got a regular cheeseburger with fries and called it a night. Bartend that took my order is customer at the store I work at. Don't know his name but he's a cool dude. Burger was delicious.

    My husband wanted somewhere to watch the KU game and get dinner. He wanted to try something different. So we ended up here. It was dead when we first arrived. Except a few people at the bar and someone playing pool. We waited a really long time for someone to come to our table. We were getting ready to leave, and someone finally showed up. He didn't really seem like he wanted to be there. We ordered drinks and food. Our Irish nachos came out quickly, but the rest of our food took an insanely long time. Food was just ok. I don't plan on going back.

    Bre was my server and she was excellent. It had a small little bar feel but very welcoming. The wings were huge and for a great price as well. I would definitely return again!

    I bought a small team of 10 people We had excellent service from Bre. She was so friendly and treated everybody incredibly well, as well as extremely efficient with our food and drinks Thank you!! And those wings were fire.

    First of all as soon as I got there, I was harassed by the doorman as well as other patrons trying to enter the establishment to enjoy a drink. The doorman also had a sidekick that chimed in and was extremely annoying when they were checking for my ID. I’m 47 years old clearly I’m old enough to have a drink. And the worst part was days later I realized that they had charged my card multiple times for drinks I did not order or have. I’ve called and left messages, but no reply. I’ve been to this establishment multiple times and it has changed drastically for the worst over the years.

    Great Place to shoot pool and have drinks. Their wings are the best! And always good vibes!

  • 1/5 *Sasha* 1 year ago on Google
    If I could give 0 stars i would but since i have to give 1 star, our server we had, Alejandro, is the only one who deserves a star. The food was very mediocre, we ordered wings, smash burger, fried mushrooms, brussel sprouts and potatoes boats. None of these items were worth the money we paid, and the bar drinks were not great either. The wings were not good at all, sauce was pretty dry and not a good flavor. I asked for bbq sauce to help with the dryness and seasoning already on the wing but I was told the owner is very strict and I would need to pay extra for that. It took OVER 30 minutes for us to tab out. Their system seems to have issues, we were told this happens often. Alejandro took the card to the bar trying to run it, the bartender who was a woman had an attitude saying the card stuff was not her issues, she had better things to do, that it was a bank issue not hers....ummm the issues was your establishments problem, not the customer whose card works just fine everywhere else. The bad food, bad system and the bad attitude was enough to make me never go back.

    Briana was amazing! Made sure we were good a few times but not too many. Made us feel like friends! Definitely recommend her!!

  • 1/5 Erykah 1 year ago on Google
    As a first time visitor I am VERY unpleased with my services here. My bartender Alejandro was clearly under the influence while on the clock and it showed in his actions as well as affected the other staff members to the point were they requested the supervisor to send him home. It wasn’t until later that night we found out from a regular customer that Alejandro admitted to taking shrooms before work. The other bartender had to pick up his slack anytime he would disappear from behind the bar for long periods of time. She also had to force him to take accountability after he messed up my order, tried to over charge me for food/drinks I didn’t order, and hold my debit card captive in his back pocket the whole time we were there. I highly suggest new staff members and background checks.

    I went here on a Monday night and even tho it wasn't as lively as on a Friday or Saturday I'd come again. The bartender was nice and her drinks were made just right.The spicy buffalo wings and fries are SO GOOD, I'd definitely be venturing back here.
