Looking for a cool bar/restaurant in the KC area
 

I'm heading to KC for the weekend to hang with a buddy of mine who's recently gone through a divorce.

I'd like to take him out for some drinks/dinner, and I haven't been to KC in forever. I could use some help from the locals.

I'd prefer somewhere that has a good import/craft beer selection and serves food as well. Not looking for a club, or a place that plays music at 200 decibels - but a place where there's a decent 30-something crowd.

Rep to all serious replies, at least until I run out for the day.

75th Street Brewery

I know it's a chain, but Old Chicago In OP has hundreds of beers. Food is decent.

If you like hot wings I would go by The Peanut on 5000 Main St. It is an old bar (opened after prohibition ended) and kind of a dive but the they have the best wings I have ever had in my life. They have good unique sandwiches as well. More of a lunch spot than dinner. They also have a good breakfast on the weekends.

They have Guinness on tap, I am not sure what else.

I make it a point to try to go there every trip to KC.

It's basically an old Irish Pub.

I've brought this up before, but it's worth it........

Go to Flying Saucer at Power and Light. Their beer selection alone is worth the trip there.

Go to the Brewpub up north. They serve many good brews, have bigscreen TV's for a baseball game, and best of all, the roof is a huge patio with a bar and tvs. If the weather is good, you can hang out up on the roof and it is a real good crowd, not a bunch of 21 year olds and loud music. Good food too.

This.

or at the Legends there's a place called the Yardhouse that has TONS of beers.

Fox and Hound in OP (103rd and Metcalf). Good brews, good food, 30's crowd.

And dipshit managers. :cuss:

The Shady Lady.... good times guaranteed...... :D

Bring some $1..............

Where exactly "up north?"

He lives off of 152 between 35 and 29, so that may work if we don't go to PL.

Sounds exactly what I'm looking for. I'll definitely look into the Flying Saucer as well.

And this place has officially lost its burst.

10 posts in and not a single "Buddies on Main" reference.

Missy B's has a great lineup lately...............

Blanc Burgers + Bottles. Best burgers in KC, very nice beer selection (bottles only). It meets both needs. The food is insane-good.

It's an awesome place. My favorite bar, so I second it.
