I genuinely love this place. Perfect dive bar for everyone in Raytown. Prices are super cheap and…read morethe quality is amazing! The food is some of the best bar food I've had since moving to KC area. The drinks are strong and cheap. There's a few pool tables and darts that can be played as well. Lots of TVs around the bar area. Some downfalls I do see in this place however is that the service can be slow, the music can be too loud, and possibly some cleaning up around the inside i.e. bathrooms.

The wings didn't have a lot of meat so a little disappointed in that. But over all it was a great experience for a decent price. Our server was on top of it.

If you are queer I would not recommend coming here. I went in wearing a a sleeveless top, they did…read morenot let me in unless I wore the bouncers neon green shirt. There were tons of women wearing bandos, sleeveless tops, and shorter bottoms. I tried speaking to the manager, Lindsey, and she told me verbatim women are allowed to have their shoulders out. It floored me that there were still spaces like this still around. Regardless of gender, if you're going to have a dress code, it would be best to keep it the same for everyone. This space also lacks basic amenities like WATER. If I am paying a $15 cover a cup of water better be included. Will only be coming back here for a rematch.... They haven't seen my shoulders enough.

We LOVE Erin's Pub! When we lived nearby it was one of our weekly spots, but since moving we don't…read moreget there as much unfortunately. The food goes beyond being just "good bar food." It's good food period! Erin's has the best mozzarella sticks anywhere that I've tried (and believe me, I've had a lot of fried cheese). Their Taco Thursdays are also a regular craving I have. Service is always friendly and fast, even when they're busy. Shoutout to Carrie and Kirby - they're rockstars! Personal opinion, I do think the overuse of AI in their recent advertisements is a bit much. I liked the unedited pics of their real food they used to post better than the new cartoonish pics. But just my opinion - doesn't change the fact that Erin's is one of the best spots around! A must try!

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.

They have a clothing resale shop, sell dvds, record and books, and have a nice garage bar, all of which is decorated very eclectically... from the ceiling of albums to rugby jerseys on the walls ... it just has a cool vibe. It has ample seating and an outdoor space that is open when the weather allows. And goodness it has a little something for everyone. They have several TVs for sports watching and often have specials on game day. They have all sorts of special events, including comedy night, bingo night, trivia, arts and crafts night, concerts, and I think one time they had a street basketball tournament. If you wanna take the kids on a quiet afternoon, they have tons of board games and coloring books... And they even allow people to bring dogs! The owners and regulars seem very welcoming, I think the craziest thing is how affordable it is. I mean where else in the world are you gonna get two "mystery beers", a pizza, two vintage record albums and two t shirts for $36 bucks? Not many. Check their social media and find something that suits you or just come out for thirsty Thursday! Hope to see you there.
