Server was ignoring us and we had to stand up and flag her down to get her attention. Limited food menu that's way overpriced. Nuts, crackers , cheese, and deli meats. They ran out of the meat and cheese by the time the band started at 7pm. -Edit for "Business Manager reply/damage control. I don't care if she is a "staple" what I said is true. I don't expect a full kitchen or the food to replace a meal but I do expect you to be prepared. Your statement about your "hospitality specialists" being focused on attentiveness is false and was my exact point. I was giving an honest review so others know what to expect. Maybe instead of getting defensive and tooting your own horn you should try to fix what your business is lacking to stay relevant. Good luck pal.

Line dancing lessons started at 7:00pm and went on for about an hour and we learned four different dances. The instructor was so fun and easy to follow.

Highly recommend and I hope to be back on the dance floor whenever I return!

There wasn't exactly a record screeching to a stop, but some pool players definitely called us out and asked where we are from (we all live in the metro area). Anyway, I'm pretty sure we were the ONLY people not smoking in this fine establishment. This place is not for anyone who despises anything less than sparkly and shiny, nor for anyone with reactive airway disease. They're also fazing out their bar food menu, and I had what were possibly the worst bar tater tots ever (the bar tender DID warn me) and didn't charge for them. That said, the service here was fast, the drinks were hella cheap, the pours were strong and everyone was friendly... even if we did get a couple of side eyes. I actually had a great time here, but I definitely had to shower the smoke out of my hair immediately when I got home!

My Mom used to always talk about The Hangout. The first time I went to the place, the bartender…read moretold me who my Mom was. I was like, wow... the Hangout. My mother probably hasn't stopped in there since the 80s, so that... in a nutshell, tells you how long this place has been around and that the clientele doesn't change much. I like the Hangout, why? Because nobody from Westport goes there, the juke box (if that's what the music comes off of) is not loud, beers are cheap, and the bartenders are usually cool and down to earth. The clients mind their manners and you only get an occasional creepy glance from the old dudes who hang out there. Mr. C does not like the Hangout. He doesn't like to be around people who are just bumbling through life. And to his credit, they kind of are. Although I think it is hard to judge people by their looks. I mean, he and I both wear fairly new fashions, and our hairstyles reflect the time we live in, but that doesn't necessarily mean people are just like pinballs bouncing off each other like the world is a big bumper. Mr. C and I go out to enjoy a drink outside of our home. I cannot be so haughty to say that I haven't gone to a bar to drink to "forget about life for awhile." (Billy Joel) I think people sometimes get stuck in their ruts and their misery, that the bar becomes the place to go to forget it all. The Hangout is offering this as every other bar on the planet. It just so happens it is in Raytown and the clientele look funny. I don't need a certain ambiance to go out and have a beer. I do like to go out to more modern places, but not every occasion calls for fancy. The Hangout is a get out of the house place. I like it. There is however one drawback. It is in Raytown and no-smoking ordinances have not been passed here. To avoid the smoke, sit in the corner away from the main crowd at a low table. Do not sit at the bar if smoke offends you. My review: Food: N/A Service: Friendly, friendly, friendly Would I go back? I wish my fiance was down for our wedding reception to be held here. Not gonna happen.

All seemed to be well maintained. The people there seemed friendly enough - 30-40 mostly. The bartender was very polite and friendly when she refused to serve me, and I briefly met one of the girls there, a cute blonde, who had a black tooth when she smiled. Lot's of pick up trucks parked outside if that gives any sort of idea what kind of place it is. Overall, don't go here unless you're a local and willing to spend $10 a year to drink at a bar with the same people week in and week out.
