I've been here a couple times for family events/birthdays. The back room is rented out and there's…read morebeen catering via Tanners for those events. They are located in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. The building is pretty large and it has a darker aesthetic, very old, dive barish. They have lots of TVs throughout and a few games in the back room. They do have a decent sized patio. Bathrooms are moderately clean. The service has always been good and attentive. They have a decent beer list. I like that they have local options like JoCo Juice. But they do offer cocktails and soft drinks. The food I've had here has been pretty limited since it was for a party. Most of what I've had was fried-chicken lips, breaded mushrooms, and pickle chips. On my last visit, I found the pickle chips to be really salty and the breaded mushrooms were pretty flavorless. I don't think I'd order either on my own. The last set of chicken lips were dry and kinda burnt. It wasn't a great representation of the food because I like the chicken lips and these were not it. I definitely need to come back and actually order some fresh food and get what I want. I totally plan to do that in the future.

Located on 87th Street in Lenexa KS, Tanners is one of those places that straddles a few different…read morelines. Dive-bar, Apple Bees clone, neighbor grill, sports bar and many other descriptive words but the question remains is it good? I'm not "chicken" to answer the question rather I'd prefer to let the answer "stew" a bit. As for the location it's in a very safe part of town with some very nice employees. I've been several times and being a guy, I'm happy to always get the attractive ladies to wait on me and keep the suds flowing as I get a bit tipsy. Moreover, on sports days (sorry I HATE the Chiefs) they don't have a bad TV in the house so the whole posse can wear those OBNOXIOUS Red and Yellow Jerseys. My family is from Ohio so I'm a Browns fan, thus we're utterly a miserable football experience. Anyways sports days are great to experience here. Now when I first moved to Kansas, I'd ask around, "where's a great place to go for good food, drinks and a good time?" They're response was Burger King, ok joking aside they said check out Tanners. However, what got me was "Ok a few things, first of all, they got great chicken lips, Taco Tuesdays and Thursday Steak nights." Wait.. WHAT!? What exactly are CHICKEN LIPS? I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about the possibilities considering the obvious mouth is a beak (use your imagination). In other words, like Rocky Mountain Oysters, it's clever marketing for chicken tenders. As stated the chicken tenders are pretty good, not store-bought generic tenders but hand breaded plump chicken deep fried. I'm not big on fries but my kids love them. Taco Tuesday is another day to drop by on a typically dead night for some cheap but flavorful tacos. I get like four hard shell and I'm all set. They're crispy with taco meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. Simple yet delicious. Now, Thursdays are steak night and out of the two times I went, get there early b/c they do sell out early. While they're not exactly Prime USDA choice cut huge steaks, they're discounted and good for the price, but avoid anything over medium rare. The drinks are best during happy hour to save a couple bucks too. Overall, this is a great place for the family or buds during the big game. The employees make the experience great and I've been to several locations and all of them are outstanding. I highly advise going during a night which they have a special that seems interesting.

I've been wanting to check this place out since I moved down the street a few years ago. The bartend was super friendly and happily explained the membership requirement. I also got to chat to a few of the regulars. It is an intimate space, but it was really nice. It is all bar stool seating and there's a step up into the bar and then another couple of steps to the bathroom. So not ADA friendly, but like most bars they're just dealing with the cards they were dealt in the early 1900s when they were opened! Over all, you should go check it out if you're interested in finding your own little local watering hole.

There are also a few other bars and restaurants close by and I often forget about that area as being a destination so, I'll have to go out there more often. It has a nice laid back feel. The inside of the restaurant is clean and the bar area is spacious, it wasn't crowded so I had plenty of space to sit solo for a late lunch. The menu isn't the most inventive, just good old fashioned bar food. However, to me that really hits the spot a lot of the time, I don't need all the frills all the time. They had a good selection of appetizers as well as sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and daily specials. I was craving a BLT. Usually the Peanut is my go-to but I must say Tower Tavern may now take top spot. Especially for the price...$10?! Yes please. Also, I am a sucker for homemade potato chips so I loved to see that as the side option. The bacon was crispy not flabby and sad, it had the perfect salty bite. The shredded cheese made me so happy because it was generously piled on the texture is just nostalgic to me. The tomato was overpowering, sometimes a soggy thick slice of tomato can ruin a BLT for me. I will definitely be back to Tower Tavern to use my Pub Pass and to try some more food. If you're looking for a very solid bar with very solid bar food I would say give it a try! The prices are right, the beer was flowing, and the food was tasty and executed right.
