I spent 3 summers cleaning Persian rugs under the tutelage of Southeast Cincinnati's premier rug…read moremerchant Mr. R. Gary Westmoreland, so I know a thing or two about Suburban neighborhood bars parading as Irish public houses. First things first, apologies for my long absence. After the untimely demise of my frequent dining partner Maurice (who definitely slipped and fell on his own), I just needed a break from my Yelping. #RIP #accidentshappen But, enough about me and my shenanigans. Let's talk about Conroy's. This place is sort of like a zoo without cages for the animals. After I walked in from the bright parking lot, I found myself in a dark bar full of people mostly old enough to make me feel young again. A gal with Viking hair shouted "sit wherever ya like!" from behind the bar (I think that was Conroy's version of a host). I chose a tiny little table for 2 (sigh, I was solo) amidst the crowd. I was greeted some moments later with a menu twice the size of my table. I donned my cheaters and began chapter one of the largest menu I've ever seen. The menu was resplendant with classic Irish dishes like nachos, pizza and burgers. I felt like I smelled a hint of Irish Spring soap and was whisked away to the Emerald Isle!! I kid, of course. There's plenty of fare from the land of the Leprechauns and faeries. I chose cottage pie because it seemed authentic and comforting. Even though it's been years since Maurice's tragic ACCIDENT, I still find myself needing comfort food when I'm dining solo. It was delish. I wanted to lick the rarebit it was served in clean, but the nosy man seated nearby at a large round table (by himself, mind you) kept staring at me from above what appeared to be a pint glass full of communion wine. He had a disconcertingly large head and facial features. I wasn't sure if he needed a friend or a fresh corpse for his crawlspace. Anyway, I maintained my manners and didn't clean the plate like a Beverly Hills chihuahua. I didn't try any booze on this visit because my Uber account is locked due to a disagreement with a swarthy gentleman who mistook my friendliness for an advance and yada yada. Anyhoo, I don't dare risk a dewey when I'm driving mother's Chrysler. Anyways, this place was great and the imposing, cologne-sodden Tongan boy who served me was a real sweetie pie. I think I'll download Lyft and stop by soon for some Irish beer and another bit of cozy fare. Slainte!

It was very hot but we cooled off inside. I'd like to try the patio if possible if I go back. We sat in the upper room due to being able to see the tvs. It was busy but not hectic and we found a table right away. I like Irish beer but I tend to get the local brews when I travel and I'm glad I did. Boulevard was pretty good! If I had more time I would have looked for a six pack to drink before paying RIDICULOUS prices at the stadium or FIFA Fan Fest! Service was good, quick and friendly. I brought my bottled water in, as most restaurants use the bleachy tap, and they were ok with bringing me a glass and some ice. The rest rooms were smallish but clean. Next time I'll also try to get the 'authentic' Irish or local fare!

Came to Kansas City over the recent holidays to visit some friends, and Beer Kitchen came as a…read morelocal recommended place. Good food, good vibes, good beer selection, I was sold. So we loaded up and showed up one day around Noon. Ambiance was really cool. It's in the middle of some sort of progressive looking shanty-esque suburb. The kind of place that does drag queen bingo. I was right at home. Inside was college sport bar, but with a nice, huge board on the wall of all their beer selection. It Was quite expansive. Service was top notch, too. Nice server took care of us, made sure our glasses were never empty. The food came out at a good clips, and we got an unexpected bonus of free little beignet-like donuts with some delicious dipping sauces. As for food, we started off with a jumbo order of the Truffle Parmesan Hand-Cut Fries for the table. We got to choose two from their extensive list of aioli dipping sauces. Fries were good. Dusted with the perfect amounts of truffle and parmesan. And the sauces were my oh my. I recommend paying the upcharge to just try them all. I mentioned the time earlier, because we had no idea we were stumbling upon their brunch menu. Even more options to choose from! I got the Crispy Waffle Smash Burger (smashed hertzog beef patties, fried egg, smoked bacon, merkt's cheddar, caramelized onion, maple aioli, crispy buttermilk waffle). This thing was really nice. Perfect waffle, not too small, not too big, and no oily or anything obtrusive. A nice bun option. Eggs and bacon sometime get lost against giant burger patties, but with these smash patties, the extra accoutrements really stand out and make this burger really stand out in my mind. I also for the try the Smokestack Burger (smoked burnt ends, smoked gouda, whiskey bbq glaze, pickle relish, chipotle aioli & crispy jalapeño straws). Uhhh, as you can read, this thing was loaded with goodness. Fatty burger, smokey burnt ends, sweet boozy glaze, acidic pickles, and texture from that jalapeno. This was the perfect burger. I insist you order this. Overall, my research did not reveal Beer Kitchen to me, locals recommendation did. Shows that you gotta use your street smarts instead of your book smarts sometimes. Best meal I had in Kansas City.

I want to send a HUGE thank-you to Chastity for taking such good care of me and a colleague last…read moreweek! We were meeting to take care of some college business over lunch, and Chastity was our server (as well as the daytime bartender, which was handy!). She was friendly and so helpful with the menu (it was my colleague's first visit), and gave us recommendations for food as well as drink pairings. She stopped by as we were enjoying our meals, to ensure that everything was going well, and when we asked if we could continue to occupy the table (to finish our meeting, which ended up lasting 90 minutes), she was more than happy to accommodate us. I had the Impossible Burger (my first time trying one) and it was DELICIOUS! I have friends who are vegetarians and often have difficulty with plant-based hamburgers because of the texture, but this was perfect and honestly tasted just like beef. The toppings were fabulous and I was able to upgrade to sweet potato fries (from regular fries) for no extra charge. What a deal! I paired my lunch with a can of non-alcoholic Sam Adams IPA (another first try), and it was super-tasty! My colleague ordered Big Gary's meatloaf and said it was wonderful. Pro tip for conducting a meeting at The Red Door: The high-top tables in the bar area near the front door are quieter than the main dining room, due to the location of the music system's speakers. We had the table in the corner, and there was minimal traffic and it was easy to speak to each other. Again, MANY thanks to Chastity--and to the cooks in the kitchen--for such a great experience and helping to make our lunch meeting a success! We really appreciate you!

We went to Red Door in Brookside for a big celebration and it was a solid visit. We are more likely…read moreto come back here than other restaurants. The food was good and very tasty. We ordered several items and everything had great flavor. The server was diligent about figuring out ingredients for us since we are cautious with a new food allergy. He helped make sure the dishes were prepared properly and safely, which we really appreciated. I believe his name was Chris. Service overall was very good. The server checked on us just right. We never needed to seek him out and he was always there right when we needed something. The only small issue with service was when we asked for extra sauce. It never came even though someone who was not the server took the request. We made reservations and specifically asked to be sat in the mezzanine because it was a big celebration. That request was not acknowledged. It would be helpful if they considered those seating preferences when they are offered as an option. We did not notice a changing table in the bathrooms. Now that we have a child and cannot always find a sitter, we pay more attention to things like that. Overall it was a good meal with tasty food and attentive service. A couple of small things kept it from being perfect, but we enjoyed it and would return.
