If you like microbreweries, this is a must stop for a few+++. Jason is a fun bartender and Mark, the brewmaster, can be found sitting at the bar or sometimes bartending. It was a first visit in the area and we decided to walk from the hotel to the micro breweries that were close (there's a dozen or so within 1 mile) YEAH!! This one though was definitely one we will visit again. We did a flight and some additional samples. I'm usually a Hazy IPA - which was excellent - but every beer there was sooo good! I could have had a pint of any of them and been amazed. Cheers Mark and Team! We will be back!! read more

Border Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Border Brewing used to be one of my favorite places to meet friends and unwind after work. It relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to recommend. Unfortunately, that has changed. During my recent visits, I repeatedly observed behavior from one of the bartenders that made the environment feel uncomfortable and unprofessional. This man has frequently crossed personal boundaries and generally came across as someone who was more interested in making female patrons uncomfortable than providing good service. Instead of feeling like a place where everyone could relax, the atmosphere felt like a boys' club where inappropriate behavior was tolerated. The biggest disappointment wasn't just the employee's conduct--it was the lack of action or acknowledgement by management that concerns are taken seriously. Instead of addressing complaints, they move to suppress reviews. When an establishment allows and enables behavior that makes customers feel uncomfortable or unsafe, it reflects on the business as a whole. I used to recommend Border Brewing without hesitation, but I can't anymore. There are plenty of breweries in Kansas City where everyone can enjoy themselves without worrying about being subjected to inappropriate comments or an unwelcoming atmosphere. read more

Fun, friendly place to hang out in, lots of merch available, lots of different brews, micro brews, so much to look at. Enjoy the local pig beef sticks very good beef jerky. read more

Really friendly staff at this brewery! Ambiance was alright, it was a little dimly lit for my taste. Beers were good if not mind-blowing. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Good stuff! Not everyone is an IPA lover, so it's nice when I come across a brewery that specializes and brews a solid in sour/gose. The new watermelon gose was top tier. Hope they keep it and begin to can it! read more

Came in here after Double Shift so I was just bullshitting around crashing breweries. I was told from the bartender at DS that Border had beer that has real taste so I went to check it out. It was dead on a Friday around 2p but that's a good thing cause I got my flight fast. I thought the place was cool, they have a good amount of seats inside but that have an OUTSIDE PATIO that has a good amount of space. Beers were good and no shitty ones. Im off the shitty IPA thing cause they all taste the same, the same ass taste! The one thing I thought was weird was the Mens bathroom is JUST A URINAL. If you have to shit, use the garbage? Not sure cause shitting in the urinal would just not be comfy. read more

I hade a flight. One beer was thin. The next was skunky. Go to City Brewing instead. read more

My second stop in a self-directed Crossroads brewery crawl, and my first visit to this location after they moved here from a couple of blocks west from here a few years ago. I only stayed for one beer - the Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale, and it delivered the smooth kick that I love about Farmhouse style beers. The new space is much bigger and open and the two staff behind the bar were brewery veterans that were welcoming and personable to chat with. read more

It was First Friday and they had a DJ that pulled me in to check it out! I feel like I've been to quite a few local breweries lately and I'm a preferred wine connoisseur at heart! This spot is right in the heart of the Crossroads. Both bartenders had a very pleasant demeanor. However, the bartendress came to attentively assist me and provided me with a taste based on our discussion, the Strawberry Blonde. It was ok. It didn't have quite the harmony of smooth malt and fresh fruit as I was expecting for pale malt or fruit ale. read more

Laid back, grunge vibes with beer? I'm in! Music playing was awesome and the brewery on this snowy afternoon was poppin. I tried the NA Amber and it tastes like beer. I'm on a semaglutide so finally having a taste of alcohol after six months is great. Hanging out at a brew pub with my 23 yo daughter and husband on a Saturday is heaven. read more

Border Brewing Company has been around for a while now and in my opinion has solidified itself as a solid brewery amongst the ever growing micro brewery scene in Kansas City. When you walk in, it's clear you're in a brewery. It has the quintessential OG brewery vibe. It's not pretentious, though, and the bartenders at work here are amongst the kindest I've met in KC. They will happily tell you more about any of the brews on tap and help make recommendations. The last time I was here I was meeting a friend I had their take on a Mexican lager - it was great! This isn't the kind of brewery that has the variety of beers that would keep me returning regularly, but I'm super glad they're here, and I think they make a great product. Certainly worthy of your next Crossroads pub crawl, or meetup with an old friend. read more

Next time I'm craving a beer, to Border Brewing Company I'll go, for a beautiful glass of Stout of the World. While I'm there, I'll reflect on my fortunes, lucky am I to be in KC, in the Crossroads, in this particular brewpub, a tranquil harbor for thirsty patrons, where the quality of the ale is complimented nicely by the geniality of those who serve it. read more

Border Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Bevy of Breweries (and they're all beauties) Border Brewing Company keeps with the alliteration and supplies some pretty bodacious brews as well as some tasty cocktails, colorful ciders, and unique seltzer beverages. It's located in the aptly named "brewers alley" and used to be located a block or so down the street. The new spot is a lot more spacious, and the purple painted outside draws you in from the street. It was a perfect stop on a walking jaunt during First Fridays in the crossroads arts district. The line wasn't long, and the drinks were poured and served with lighting speed! I was impressed. What also left me impressed with the newer selection of Kin Hard Seltzer cocktails, how neat, especially since Kin is the first black owned seltzer brand and is partly owned by one of the same owners of Border. This fun pink drink had a flavor of Kin Sletzer mixed with vodka and gin but, tasted like pink lemonade. It would be the perfect pool time sipper, I usually don't like sweet drinks however, this one was fun and balanced. The beer we went with was an IPA and had rich complex hoppy flavor (though I forgot which one it was). Great micro niche brewery conveniently located in a developed arts district near downtown definitely recommend stopping by and/or adding it to your list of breweries to bar hop in Crossroads! read more

This seems to be a very local brewery where everyone knows everyone. That being said, I felt welcomed. The guys behind the bar were friendly as were all the dogs roaming around. I wanted to love the beers.

Excellent variety of beers from approachable lagers, IPAs, English ales, and their most popular fruited beers. Bartenders are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Dog friendly inside and outside. Back patio is a hidden gem with green space. Wednesday night is probably the best trivia in the city. Thursday they release a new limited release beer. Typically sells out before the weekend so go asap if you can. read more

Stopped by border brewing for some beers. Service was great and I love that they have flights. Unfortunately, I just didn't love the beers. Maybe it was what we picked to try, but they were all just ok. I'm not an IPA drinker, I think they are too bitter, but I thought the IPA had the best flavor of any of the beers we tried. There are so many options for beer in the area- I'd go elsewhere read more

Border Brewing Company - Flight - Breweries Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

A new storefront is a good reason to post an updated review. The brewery has moved down the street into some sweet new digs. The new, spacious room is extensively decorated in modern woodwork, complete with a long wraparound bar. That bar was constructed with built in cell phone chargers, just in case you need a little juice while you're bellied up. There's a backyard patio that when finished, will not only be an awesome spot when the weather is right, but will also house a small stage for live music performances. The beer is still Border Brewing beer. I recommend the Strawberry Blonde, but they have something for everybody. Limited cans and growlers are available to go. read more

The new location is quite lovely with the bar charging dots, the cool atmosphere and the adorable back patio. Beers are good, something for everyone. Fun spot to have drinks before dinner, after dinner, or just enjoy beer for dinner. We've been a Border Fan for years and the new (maybe not so new anymore) spot is a great one! read more

Border Brewing Company - Patio beers! - Breweries Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Stopped by for a happy hour drink. I enjoyed the cute patio space with live music and cute art. We decided on this brewery over the several others in the area because of their great happy hour deals. Beers were $5 and they had a couple other specials as well. I was a little disappointed because we were charged wrong in the end. One of the beers was not included in the happy hour price, which was fine but I wish the bartender would have mentioned it before. We even told her we were there to enjoy the happy hour. Then our second round was not rung up as happy hour at all even though it was still happy hour. We didn't say anything so I can't be too upset about it. The bartender was really nice besides the mistake. The beer was also delicious. I was able to try several between my friends and I and enjoyed them all. I had a great time and will be back. I will just have to ask for an itemized receipt before we pay next time. read more

A nice relaxed brewery. There are multiple seating options available - bar seating, regular tables, high tops, and a patio. It looks like they have trivia nights (might be a cover) and different events that would be fun to check out. You can order King Gs (which is next door) and have it delivered to your table. read more

Small brewery with about 5-6 choices. Bartender was friendly but did seem like she'd rather be somewhere else. A couple other people were wrapping up (Sunday football games) when I came in. So it was just for a good portion of my time there. I ordered their most popular according to the bartender. The #1 Strawberry Blonde. Price with tip was $7.50. I imagine that's about average. WOW was this beer good. It was so smooth and tasty. I could have drank it all day. No food served here - I think I saw pretzels as a snack. They have about five - 4x person tables. The stools don't have backs which made it a little uncomfortable sitting to watch the game for an extended period of time. There are about 5 TVs as well to watch games. Overall I would come back here. read more

I can tell you that all of the staff are amazing and nice. Any review stating that any of the women here are b!tch3s is invalid. The review stating that is hyperbole because I was the table next to them and they refused to stay seated and refused to keep masks on when not seated... the staff was nice the entire time. Jess and her crew always go above and beyond and their beers are fun and awesome. Shout out to that new Philly Sour. These are genuine humans trying their best to not get shut down during a pandemic, and they are very very nice people. read more

I really liked this place, because it reminded me of a street back home and now I wish this particular brewery would spot up here in Southern California. I'm sure we could find a place for them. They had a delicious light beer that I partook of twice. The lounge is very nice and the gentlemen there are good workers. read more

I absolutely love this brewery! It is so small it really has a truly local feel. The staff is always exceptionally helpful, letting you taste beers until you find something you love!

Happy tasting! read more

Border Brewing Company - Popping In for a holiday drink with my feathered friend! - Breweries Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Nice brewery in the middle of Crossroads with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We saw people of all ages at the brewery and some people had their dogs with them too. I ordered the Chocolate Milk Stout and it was delicious. Not too sweet and too easy to drink. The BF had the Patio Pale Ale and also enjoyed his beer. I will say that I have never had a nicer bartender. This man (sorry--I wish I had his name) could possibly be the owner? Either way, he was super nice. I don't think I ever saw him without a big smile on his face. And not a cheesy, fake smile. He looked like he honestly loved his job, loved the people who were in the brewery and just was loving life. Refreshing to see people actually love what they are doing. If you are in the KC area, please make sure you stop by Border Brewing! read more

I love the little patio at Border! Great for an evening beer and some people watching .. especially if it's first fridays in Crossroads. Border Brewing has some solid craft beers on tap. They have lots of options as far as type of beer - IPAs, dark beer, pale ale, etc. I really like the Shiftie IPA and the Patio Pale Ale. Service is always great at Border and the bartenders seem happy to offer suggestions and answer questions. Border is a solid addition to any beer lovers brewery rotation. read more

With just 5 beers on tap here, I think they are off to a great start. I went in on Saturday to try some of their brews and was met with an insane crowd of people at 230pm. Apparently there was some crawl or run or some such thing & they were all screaming and standing everywhere. I nearly walked right out from the packed brewery but decided to trudge on. Thankfully they rolled out shortly there after and I was able to breathe again, phew! Border Brewing has a good mix of bar seating and high tops of varying sizes plus room to move when it isn't being used as a marathon spot. It's a pretty chill atmosphere though something seemed to slightly lack for me...I think it may have just been the comfort level which I'm sure will come with some time as they've been open for more time. I was able to snag a parking spot right in front of the brewery which was awesome. One of the interesting things to me about KC is the abundance of parking and not just parking but completely gratis parking! I digress. Samplers were just $2 each so I was able to get a flight of all five on draught for just ten bucks plus tip. I had their Blonde Ale (meh), Patio Extra Pale Ale (I'm not usually into pales but this was phenomenal), Rooftop Red Ale (solid though not mind blowing), Double IPA (great aroma, solid taste) and their Campfire Porter. I love a good smoked beer and that porter had that great smokey flavor. The standouts for me were the Patio Extra Pale Ale and the Campfire Porter, hands down. Overall though, solid offerings and good prices. Welcome to the craft beer and taproom scene, Border Brewing Company. read more

Border Brewing was the first micro-brewery in the Crossroads Arts District of KC having opened 5 years ago. They started a renaissance in brewing in KC and attracted several others to pursue their dreams and launch breweries. The District now hosts 5 amazing breweries, each with their own feel and approach to craft beer. Border stood out to us with extremely helpful staff as well as customers who guided us through tasting the 10 craft beers on draught. The standouts to us were the Coffee Break Nitro Cream Ale that had so much coffee flavor we couldn't believe it wasn't a rich black color, the Lights Out Stout made in collaboration with Double Shift Brewing next door that featured Star Anise (my fav) and Fennel Seed, and their staple Strawberry Blonde. Now, let's be honest, when we walked into Border Brewing we weren't expecting to get excited about a 4% fruited blonde ale, but that's why it's such a great beer, because it renewed our interest in what is usually a straight forward brew. You have to try these craft beers if you like flavor! read more

Have been back a few times after my initial visit and the beers are much better now. Really great spot for local beer in the Crossroads!

Yo fam, this place is the shiz wit. They've got greatness brewing. Hop to it. It's ferment to be. ...anyway, I had a great experience here today with my broski. We got a couple beers and a flight. My taste buds did not touch a single beer I disliked. It's got that small but cozy brewery vibe. The dudes behind the counter were friendly. The beers were super reasonable--$6 for a full pour and $7 for a flight, regardless of selection. I don't know what you want me to say. Their IPAs are outstanding (the best I've tasted in the Crossroads). There's a patio now. I'll be back. read more

As if delicious beer wasn't enough, the warm and inviting atmosphere and friendly team behind Border are what really make it shine as a fixture in Kansas City's beer scene.

I have never been here before so when friends suggested we meet at Border, I was down to clown. There are so many things to love about this place; I can't gush enough. Our friends arrived early with their baby and were comfortably seated on the only couch in the space. They were immediately greeted and overwhelmed (in a good way) by the kindness and hospitality of the owner. We ordered two flights of beers and enjoyed a really nice evening. I'm not a huge beer fan, but GUYS, it's so good. Strawberry Blonde is so yum! I can honestly say that all the beers offered were delicious. Some I liked more than others, but there wasn't one I disliked. This place is so laidback and cool, there was a dog chilling inside the bar, and it's so my vibe. Come here to relax and drink the day's grime away. We decided that our next local beer crawl will definitely include Border. Cheers to the great experience. read more
