We stumbled upon this place in search of a dive bar atmosphere with great bar food, and Cronin's did not disappoint! Complete with pinball machines, pool tables, dart boards and plenty of TV's Cronin's offers plenty of things to do in a fun atmosphere. With pre-pandemic prices we felt comfortable ordering several things from the menu, but our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. The portions are HUGE at Cronin's and the food is solid. We loved the house salad, BLT, and Potato Skins. Overall Cronin's hit the spot. Great atmosphere, awesome prices, and good food. We will be back! read more

After reading all the reviews, I had high expectations for this place. I was disappointed to say the least. The menu that had been posted multiple times is no longer the correct menu. I was looking forward to a pot pie, nope they no longer serve them. I've posted the correct menu. I ordered a cheeseburger with onion rings, which the cheeseburger was great. The onion rings came out cold, so I sent them back. I received a new order and they were good, but comparing the 2 they looked like 2 totally different onion rings. I have pictures comparing them below. The other 2 people in my party ordered the special, which was chicken fried chicken. Both the chickens were over cooked to where the breading was crispy burnt. Mashed potatoes were homemade and good. The waitress was not very attentive. We would ask for things (refills) and she would forget about us. The place wasn't very busy when we were there and it was during the week. Just disappointed... read more

Great food, cozy atmosphere. If it only were closer to my home. Travis & his partner in crime are the best at running fun into a thing.

Good, solid bar, food, not amazing, not bad, what you would expect that have a nice little dive bar I have nothing bad to say, nothing great to say, just solid, decent food read more

This is a great little neighborhood bar. I came with a few friends who play darts here and I got to eat while they played. The server covered tables and the bar and kept up with all of it, even remembering who's on which tab. They don't have a lot of (trendy) hard liquor on hand, but that's because their typical patron isn't looking for that. They have your typical domestic beers and boulevard and KC Bier on tap. I ordered the fried pickle appetizer which was good. The pickles were crisp and the coating was crunchy. They have the GOOD ranch, if you know what I mean. Our table ended up ordering a second basket. For dinner I got their patty melt. The Burger was thicker than I expected and really good. The caramelized onions still had some crispness to them, which I appreciate, I hate overcooked onions. The only downside was the lack of any sauce, but I ended up dipping it in my ranch and that worked out for me. For the side they had several options and I went for the tater tots, which were perfectly fried. I'd come back. read more

Having been here a few times now, I can say that I have not had anything on the menu that wasn't good!! There are several selections of pot pies to choose from depending on what filling you want. Be warned that these are large portions!! Staff is great with suggestions for both food and drink! read more

This bar seems to have a lot of regulars, the people were friendly and joked around with one another. It's a fairly small bar with good atmosphere and good vibes. I will visit this place again to try their food as well. read more

GREAT TVS for games, fun neighborhood bar. We had Cajun Chicken Pasta with garlic bread and a pizza you get 4 toppings free 50cents for extras. Pasta was great, recommended from our fabulous bartender Ryan and the pizza was great too. Pizza is personal size that's why we ordered pizza too. Love our bartender Ryan, he was quick, attentive and so nice making sure we had everything we needed. We stay in Lenexa when we pass through town and we will be back!!! read more

Nice localbar vibe, Andrea behind the bar is a gem! Definitely will stop back next time I'm in town.

I enjoyed the taco Tuesday special ($1.00 beef or $1.50 chicken hard shell tacos). My order was delivered to my table with a smile in about four minutes. The tacos had a moderate amount of tasty meat, plenty of shredded cheese, fresh veggies, a mild, somewhat chunky salsa, and crispy, tasty shells. There were several TVs and no music. The service was friendly and attentive. Not a bad deal. read more

Nice little neighborhood bar. Probably great for local crowd. I stop in once a year. If you live near go in and have a beer.

Small local dive bar feel. Was a great atmosphere to grab drinks and watch a game with friends.

Cool place. Excellent upgrade from when they were spiveys! Cool atmosphere, games for kids, lots of TVs, NFL package, and great drink specials. $2.75 domestic bottles. Menu items are cheap too. This is a must see place. Kudos guys on your remodel and prices. read more

Absolutely top-notch bartenders. They are friendly and attentive, they'll pour your drinks just like you like them, and they will remember your name. The food is solid, the atmosphere is perfect for a sports bar, and their patio is awesome. read more

It is what it is, a neighborhood bar in a strip mall. Sometimes a few of my friends and I will stop in here on Wednesday nights after we finish playing soccer at nearby All American. It's usually pretty busy in here and by busy I mean 15-20 people inside. There are a good amount of TV's, a pool table, juke box, low top and high top tables as well as a horseshoe shaped bar. It's typical bar food here, but the chicken fingers stand out. They have a bit of spice and come in a large portion. I'm curious why I order them since I just spent one hour running, I digress. The big killer here is that you should plan on ordering your drinks two at a time. Not because you just love to booze, but because you'll drink two before the waitress will be back. It's not really her fault, she's the only waitress there and the bartender doesn't lend a hand. Plus, the regulars at the bar are trying to engage her in conversation. Hey Cronin's, hire another waitress so we can drink more! Other than that, I like the "divey" aspect to this place. read more

Disclaimer: This review is only about drinks. I have not tried to food here. I know it's crazy to review a place on only drinks when it's called "BAR and Grill" (at least fellow Yelp reviewers tend to make it seem so), but deal with it. The drinks are poured well - not too strong, not too weak, but just right. The staff are friendly enough, though not necessarily the quickest. The Guinness is poured pretty much correctly, but not completely so (which is a shame for a place that touts itself as Irish). The taste of said Guinness isn't the best, though. It seems like the kinda place that sells a lot of beer, but not a lot of good beer, if you catch my drift. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed - your typical strip mall place. Nothing fancy, but friendly customers and an easy going environment. I'd stop back if I were in the area, but I wouldn't find myself going out of my way to get here. read more

The food is great, the staff is very nice. I particularly love their cheese steak special on Wednesday. Went there on a recent Saturday afternoon to get an early dinner and the place was packed with not a mask in sight. May be safe during a week day or for carry-out, but Covid restrictions were not being enforced; it looked like a typical 2019 mellenials/Gen X bar scene. read more

Good times! Good people! Good solid American bar food. I really haven't had any problems here and they have good wings! Excellent cheeseburger and tasty tots! I like the hand cut fries from time to time but the tots are excellent and portions are about right. Now mostly males like to hang out here so have low expectations of the scenery during lunch! If you like a live circus come back at midnight! You have awesome bartenders and the jukebox blaring! And if you bring your girl be aware these piranhas don't care and they will eat her up. They know me by now so the drinks and shots flow until I say so! This place is the best 5 star stop in Kansas City! Build points get free or discounted food and drinks read more

I only had a drink here, so I don't want to go overboard, but it was clean, inexpensive and we had good service. We didn't order food, but people near us did and it looked pretty good, but nothing special. No complaints. read more

All I have to say is... the chicken fingers are high class. Bartender did a great job attending to everybody and it just made for an overall great experience. I'll be back! read more

Went to Cronins this week...what a great place!! Nice atmosphere, good drink specials, overall great place. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I was enjoying myself and a White guy called me a "n***er" and told me to "get the fuck out of here". A little shocking!! More shocking...Cronins staff heard this and did nothing. So my overall take?? Cronins is a great place...if you are a white Nationalist or if you are just looking for a place you and your Ku Klux Klan buddies can hang out. Thanks read more

I love all of the staff and the food is amazing and great patio! Cleanest bar I have ever seen! The new renovation looks awesome! read more

Travis and Ryan are by far the best bartenders in Lenexa and surrounding areas. Pork Tenderloin sandwich is comicly huge, tastes amazing, and will put you in a food coma if consumed all in one sitting. The clientele is a combination of friendly, good and interesting people, but also extremely creepy, trashy low-lifes. The vibe in there is both "shot time!" and "I feel like there's gonna be a fight tonight" read more

I'm conflicted, I come to this spot at least 2-4 times a month. Bartenders are great and every time I come I've never once had anything but an amazing time! But this Saturday (12/11) went in with friends from out of town as we were finishing up our bachelor party. Immediately as we walked in and made our way to the bar a shorter older women walked up to us aggressively saying we look to young to be here, asking us for ID before identifying who she was along with another women. We ignored her thinking she's just some random drunk person as she definitely wasn't sober at the time. It wasn't until she told us to get out did I acknowledge her and asked her who she was and if she was part of the staff. She stated she was the owner. We gave our ID's to her, she took it to the bartender who looked at it and said yes they are old enough. She questioned the bartender asking if she was sure, the bartender again said yes. Gave us back the ID's and said happy birthday for no reason. We left, I don't know if I will go back anytime soon which sucks because this was one of my favorite neighborhood spots. read more

Still one of my favorite places to hang out and have fun. Whether it's poker, watching sports, playing pool, or hanging out with friends, it's fun. They have good prices on food and drink, along with regular specials. Probably a good thing that they aren't much closer to my house! We've watched many baseball playoff games here, and we love it! read more

I was looking for a place to have a bite to eat and watch a game with my boys. This place fit the bill. The food was good. The price was very reasonable. And the place was friendly. Good job. read more

Had a retirement party with about 40 people, eating and drinking. Ryan and staff did an excellent job keeping up with everyone. Cronin' s is a great place for a celebration such as this. read more

HUGE crispy & meaty. You won't be unhappy. Also, Fridays reduced price doesn't hurt either. G R E A T

Our go-to sports bar for my friends and I! We always come here after playing in an adult soccer league, that's down the street. Great drink and food specials! While we're drinking and having a good time, we play a game of darts or pool too! The best and sweetest bartenders, Travis is our favorite! read more

First time here. A friend told me they had good burgers but we were looking for a REAL taco Tuesday and they have one. $1 beef and $1.50 chicken tacos. We went in and sat and started to see that everyone was drinking their dinner and thought maybe we should just leave. After 10-15 minutes I went up to the bar and asked how we can order some tacos that we had been here for a while. The waitress said she had just gotten there for shift change and would be right over. Once she knew we were there she gave great service with drinks and tacos and the tacos were great! I would go back but I would have to convince my husband. read more

Excellent staff, great drinks, generous portions on the food....Karaoke on Friday night is awesome!

This place wasn't too exciting for me. I felt as if the staff was preoccupied with regulars and didn't care much to see a new face. Won't be back read more

Great place! Amazing service, cheap drinks, a patio...what more does one need. Food I have tried has been delicious.

good food. great service. not too loud. great patio. two pool tables. and a huge sceen to watch the game.

my boyfriend and I heard about Cronin's from a friend of ours and from the first night we were hooked! we walked in and the music was actually good and not obnoxiously loud (not something usual for bars nowadays) and Ryan, the bartender is amazing at what he does, he was the only one on staff that night -- there was a good handful of people seated through out the bar and table tops so we were very impressed that we always had a full glass and great service and every time we've gone in since the first time we've had the same great experience :) read more

Great place to have a drink, food, play poker, or just hang out. Travis is a class A bartender with a smile for everyone. The bar is always clean and the quality and prices of the food and drinks are both high quality. Parking is an issue but it is a good problem to have as they are usually pretty busy. Keep up the good work. read more
