I'm glad we did, the bartender was really nice and told us to take a seat. It was a cute little wine bar. They had live music playing and the bar back was so helpful and nice! She poured us each a nice big glass of white wine. The charcuterie board was beautiful and delicious! Glad we were able to sit down and enjoy!

There's a bar in the back where you can snack on a charcuterie board or grocery items from the store (vegan options for both). To drink, you can order a glass of wine, a flight of wine or spirits and more. But beyond the menu, you can also enjoy some of the beverages for sale in the store at the bar - the price tags on the shelves include multiple prices to indicate the 'to-go' price or the 'in-store' price. There's a nice selection of non-alcoholic drinks too if you're wrapping up Dry January.

As far as bar stops go when you're at P&L, County Road Ice House probably isn't the first one on…read morethe list. No, this is more of a sit-yourself-down kind of place, instead of being a make-your-way-to-the-bar-for-yet-another-drink kind of place. But they serve up some Joe's Kansas City BBQ, so you know they've got a reason to pull you in. Nothing says Kansas City quite like smoked meats & fabulous sauces, so get comfy & sample a Z-Man. There is plenty else on the menu, but if you're vegan or vegan-ish, then good luck or maybe have a cheat day. The BBQ is fantastic and Ice House has added their own bar & grille twists, so you have options beyond smoked meats. Seating is pretty good, and with both a wraparound bar and table service, there are plenty of options. As is the norm these days, there are screens in all directions, so you just don't miss a single moment of sportsball if that's your jam. P&L is a jammed up place when events are happening, so if you can find yourself a spot to sit and enjoy, then that's a win. County Road offers that and more, and it's only real knock is the service levels, which can be slow at busy times. But hey, if you have a seat and maybe a drink, then wait just a few extra minutes for servers to plow their way through the bar crowd. Definitely worth it for the BBQ alone.

I heard about this new shop on Instagram. I stopped by after having lunch in the area…read more They had great selection for wine and spirits. For beer selection they had a lot of local and import options along with macro beers. I ended up buying a reasonably priced Italian Pinot Grigio and can't wait to uncork it.

It took us a while to get through the menu because of all the fun burgers they offered. I kind of wish I tried something else because a smash burger is pretty straightforward, but delicious regardless. I also got a yummy gin drink (i'm blanking on the name) that was prepared in a cute cocktail glass. And of course, we had to get the truffle fries which were to die for. Great service, he got us in and out of there on a busy night without rushing too much. Higher end burger place with prices that reflect that, but nothing too ridiculous. Definitely will be coming back.

Unfortunately, BRGR really missed the mark today. Apparently the AC wasn't able to keep up -…read morecertainly can't blame staff for that one, but man. It was so uncomfortable, it added to us cutting our dinner short. Our server did greet us kindly and was quick to refill ice cold water - thank goodness! The staff members we encountered did their jobs, however, there was much they could have done to make the customer experience better too, such as smiling, a friendly greeting (other than our server), and offering solutions for problems. Problems that needed help: - the person delivering our food moved very slowly, didn't greet us or smile, barely audibly spoke the names of our plates as he put them down, and didn't say a word as he turned with a flat face and walked away. I hope he's doing okay. The interaction had a lot of room for improvement. But our orders were basically correct. - food at 5:30pm tasted like it had been hanging out in the kitchen for quite some time, waiting for someone to order it. - Brussel sprouts were hard on the inside and soggy on the outside. How? I'm not sure. - Fries were undercooked and barely seasoned. - And the new "award winning" 2026 Devil In Disguise burger is not worth trying. The description said "deviled eggs, pepper candied bacon, parmesan, bread crumbs, dill, chives, onion bun." The hard boiled eggs were tough, not fresh feeling. The "candied bacon" was 3 pieces, each the size of half a postage stamp. Didn't see Parmesan, dill or chives anywhere. They did include a sauce on the bun, like a relish or mayo with pickle chunks, which wasn't in the description. Confusing. Awkward to eat. I've had plenty of restaurant experiences where the food was less than par, but what struck me was the lack of follow-through by our server or anyone else. They just said "oh, I'm sorry" and took the food away. I was surprised at the lack of problem solving such as "can we remake the burger for you with a few changes?" Or "what can we do to make a new burger what you were wanting?" At least a manager to come say, "I'm sorry your orders weren't to your liking, is there anything we can do for you to make it right?" If management reads this review, please remind your daytime staff that presentation (even for kitchen staff serving the orders), food quality, professionalism, problem solving, and customer service matter. We as customers really appreciate those efforts. Thank you for taking the time to read.

If memory serves me correctly this used to be an old berbiglia spot. Just thinking about those stores takes me back to my early 20s and thinking about how much KC has changed in a decade. At any rate, I pulled over, dodged some rain, and came inside. Now, anyone who remembers Berbiglias in KC might remember them as I do - kind of basic, a bit dirty, and the kind of place that you just kind of tolerated. I mean, I was in my twenties so I didn't know liquor stores could be nice and have variety, but now I do, and boy was I glad when I walked in the doors and found out that this newly redone Plaza Liquor is NICE. Not only is the interior nice, the folks working are super friendly, and they have an incredible selection. I found some craft beers from STL that my husband hadn't been able to find in a long time at liquor stores closer to our house, and they of course carried a good variety of wine and liquor as well. Overall this one is a great little neighborhood liquor store, and is definitely one I'll return to if I'm once again needing to pick up a bottle of wine on the way home.
