Uptown Lounge

👍👍 Love this place. The kind of cocktail lounge that makes KC the place we love. Great music, jazz classics, pop. Cocktails are great as is, I assume the wine and beer. Don’t miss the bartender who will break into song along with the musicians with her great voice. GET HERE.

The Hey! Hey! Club
Cocktail bar
👍👍 Dark, private, speak easy feeling. I felt transported back to the days of Prohibition. It felt like the 1920s. Great place to have a cocktail and a few peanuts. Bartenders were creative if you want non-alcoholic drinks, but expect food/drinks are a bit more $$$ here.

👍👍 ADORED this place! Honestly the photos were so cute and the pricing was so reasonable that I thought there would be a “catch,” but upon arrival the place was even better in person! I had room 7, and seriously the entire space was so cozy and thoughtfully decorated—no detail was spared. I felt like...

👍👍 My gf and I sporadically decided to meet up to get a quick drink this afternoon when we finished work. Decided to try Mean Mule. It is a nice little place on Locust Street. We got the tequila flight and KC Ranch Water. I enjoyed both quite a bit. The vibe was bright and on point. The clientele was e...

👍👍 Not my first event at Grinders and definitely won't be my last. Most recently I was here for Awolnation and 311 and it was a blast! It's pretty easy to check in- it's a side entrance, do the usual with the metal detector and bag search, scan your ticket and boom you're in. There's a couple lines so...

Afterword Tavern & Shelves
Cocktail bar
👍👍 Nice relaxed- vibes bar with seating options inside and out and for groups. I liked the music the night we went (alt/emo) and the drinks were good. I will say, I thought it would be more 'bookstore that serves drinks' but it was definitely more 'cocktail bar that sells books', not a bad thing but go...
