What an awesome place!!!…read more Texas here, working in KC and stayed over the holiday to take in the sites and enjoy the local fair. We were welcomed with open arms. The drinks were outstanding, the prices were way below expectations. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. What I can say about this place would be this is the "Cheers" of their community. We found this place when we were going to see the Kansas City Chiefs stadium. It's not far at all for a distance reference. Thank you for the warm apple pie Thank you for taking care of us outsiders Thank you for the conversations We give this place 5 stars We will be back!!! Best Wishes - Tim & Kat

Cheesesteak, tender basket, wing basket and the shrimp po boy! All in all food was food. I upgraded to the onion nest but I feel like they were order cooked a bit. With the sauce they tasted good. 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.

Great food, great service. Get the Mac and cheese. They play the Chiefs games also! Would highly…read morerecommend!

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!

Holy moly... there are dive bars and then there are DIVE bars. This is a true DIVE bar. It's…read moreabsolutely what I expected and then some. My friends and I stopped in here on a Thursday evening. 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.
