    An odd little dive bar in a run down strip mall, across the street from that 7-11 that gets robbed all the time. It's the kind of place where 25-year-olds mingle with 65-year-olds and where nude velvet paintings hang on the wall near a jukebox with eclectic selections. On my first visit shrimp was passed out along with the beer. A fun little dive.

    You'll find this gem on the bar

    Wow, what a great find on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! I was actually picking up something…read morenearby so I grabbed my brother and said come check out this place and Cosmo burgers.... completely impressed!!!! The atmosphere was welcoming. It was a beautiful day so the garage door open--nice breeze..... the bartender Paul was probably the best bartender I've had in a long time!!!! Made you feel right at home....conversational.... making sure that we were always taken care of!! in addition to the fact that we did not know Cosmo burger had to be ordered online and you just picked it up at the window ....so he helped us figure out how to do all that I read online that they were probably the best burger in the area. I have to completely agree!!! a combo of great taste on a smash-burger made just right!!! Plus, the made from scratch margarita was amazing!!! Just an all-around great experience and made for a wonderful quick lunch!! RUN don't walk!!!

    Great bar with some interesting signature cocktails. I was an absolute fan of the Cosmic Burger…read morethat you were able to order in the bar as well. I of course had to grab a burger and some tots, both were great! I tried the Watermelon Margarita which was tasty. I also tried the Clarified Milk Punch - Fruity Pebbles drink. It was funky. I thought the crushed fruity pebbles in the rum were a nice touch. Overall, the vibe was chill and casual and the bartenders were friendly. I only wished that there were maybe a couple more things on the wall. It was not only noisy in the bar but the sound was bouncing off the walls making it hard to hear and understand my friends who were sitting right next to me. Great bar with great drinks and food. I will definitely be back.

    What a great place! Came here for a World Cup watch party on…read morea Monday night. It was mostly empty as it turned out but that meant we were able to get prime seats at the bar in front of the tv. The array of German bier offerings is exceptional. I appreciated the lower alcohol choices as well. The interior is, as the name implies, like a small beer hall, with long tables for gathering with new friends. Also ideal for putsches. The outdoor seating is a strong point. Serene, softly lit and spacious. The bartenders were business like friendly, they really don't want to hear your sad stories. The only downside was that they quit serving beer at halftime of the game we were watching. The game that went into extra time and on to penalty kicks. So we sat there for an hour and a half, thirsty, pockets full of unspent cash, watching the game while the neglected taps mercilessly mocked us. It honestly seemed baffling and inane beyond belief. Still, looking forward to a return trip when they're more willing to part with their delicious brews.

    I've visited KC Bier Co for many gatherings over the years.

While they offer pale lagers they also go deep into other German styles like bock, Dunkel, schwarzbier, and the whole spectrum of German-beer. They offer German food that historically pairs with beer. I've always enjoyed the appetizers. They have a happy hour from 4-6 p.m. In the winter they usually run a special where you get a discount for sitting outside in the cold. I've done that a few times. Their calendar is always chock-full of events, so I recommend checking out their social media accounts to look for something fun.

    I loved this place!…read more I was searching for a cheeseburger that was well recommended by Yelpers. A lot of folks said that Walsh's Corner Cocktail Bar was a great place to find a delicious burger. They were 100% correct! I had a tasty Mexican lager, which I had never heard of, but the bartender let me sample it before I ordered one and it was also wonderful. Tasty pint! The staff here is super friendly and welcoming, even to strangers, which can be uncommon. I was here by myself and felt completely welcome. The other patrons were lively and friendly. There were some very cool regulars at the bar. Including a piano teacher and a computer programmer. I chose to come to Walsh's on a Wednesday night because their burgers are $1.50 off on Wednesdays. Monday and Thursday is Taco Night! But those are the only nights they offer tacos. I will have to go back. The burger was really good! It comes naked, cheese is only added if you ask for it. You can also ask for pickles and onions. But they won't come with the burger if you don't ask. Catchup and mustard are offered on the side in squirt bottles. The mustard was tangy and nice. I think the ketchup was Heinz. If not, it's even better because it was zesty and fresh. I really liked it. And I'm not even a ketchup guy. The burger was very flavorful, cooked to perfection and really a delight! The bun was slightly toasted, but not dripping with butter or gross. The onion rings were fantastic! The breading was a medium thickness, not so thin that you could see through it and not so thick that it tasted like extra crispy chicken. I was driving so I just had the one beer, but I was pleased to enjoy a Coke with my dinner. I will absolutely return to Walsh's! What a great place! Thanks, Yelp for the recommendation!!

Now I'm a relative sporty woman so it was fun but if you're not, you will not necessarily enjoy your time here. If you threw footballs as a kid and you like lawn games SLIDE THROUGH! This would be a cool spot for a watch party, or maybe catching up with your bros. They do have one pool table if you into that (which I am ) . Full bar, food available & service was rather fast.

    I went to a Yelp Elite event at Fowling Warehouse in Kansas City on Cinco de Mayo, and I'm really…read moreglad I got to experience it. For the event, food was catered in with a nacho bar from Jose Pepper's, and we were given a complimentary cocktail along with the chance to play a game of fowling. Fowling is basically bowling with a football, but instead of a regular football, we used more of a Nerf-style, squeezy football. It sounds simple until you actually try it. Even when your aim feels spot on, the ball can bounce, shift, and completely miss the target. It was a lot of fun and honestly a better workout than I expected. I was surprised my arm was not sore afterward because there is definitely some movement involved. The space is great for groups, parties, team building, and people who enjoy active social games. The staff and setup made the event feel easy and welcoming, and I had a wonderful time. That said, I'll be honest: this is not really my personal bag. I could definitely see myself coming back for a kid, pre-teen, or teenager's birthday party, or maybe enjoying it more if there were an outdoor option where I could get a little sunshine while playing. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I'm glad I went. I had fun, I tried something new, and now I can officially say I've been fowling. Would I need to do it again in life? Honestly, probably not. But would I recommend it for the right group or occasion? Absolutely.

    Social Waldo Social…read moreWaldo has some delicious tacos! They serve double-decker beef or chicken tacos for only $2.50 every Tuesday, and honestly, they remind me of Taco Bell tacos, except they taste better. They fill them with plenty of meat and toppings, so you definitely get your money's worth. Social Waldo is a bar, and the lighting is dim except in the main bar area. Eric was the first waiter/bartender who helped me, and he was great. I've already been back three times since, and I'll be back again next Tuesday for more tacos. Their happy hour runs from 3-6 PM, and the wine is pretty good. Tuesdays are Tacos & Tequila, and you can't beat the deals: $2.50 double-decker tacos $5 tequila shots $3 Mexican beers $5 margaritas They also have great specials throughout the week: Monday: All-Day Happy Hour (11 AM-midnight) Tuesday: Tacos & Tequila Wednesday: Sammie's (KC Cheesesteak or Nashville Hot Chicken) for $10 with a side (11 AM-10 PM) Thursday: $8 burgers with a side Friday: Extended Happy Hour from 3-9 PM Sunday: Brunch with $1 off domestic Big Boy beers On two other visits, I tried the Mini NachoDaddy from the happy-hour menu, and there was nothing mini about it. I honestly thought they brought the whole dinner portion. I couldn't finish it either time! Note that during happy hour, the nachos only come with steak or chicken. Great food, great prices, and definitely worth checking out.

The service was great and very quick. I was told everything on the menu is good and I have no hesitation in believing that after just one visit. I tried the KC Philly with fries and a Chicken Taco. The taco was on special for Taco Tuesday and it came with a hard shell wrapped in a soft shell with nice juicy chicken and delicious salsa in the side. I absolutely love a good Philly cheesesteak and this one was delicious. It has some kick from the jalapeños so be prepared! The meat is super juicy and tender and the combination with the veggies is perfect. The fries were also delicious and were fried a different way than I've ever seen which made them super light and airy. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly, attentive service and a board full of nightly specials that makes choosing just one thing a challenge. While we've worked our way through a good chunk of the menu, a few favorites keep calling us back: the pretzels with beer cheese dip (dangerously good), the pork tenderloin sandwich, fish & chips, and the chicken fried chicken. And don't even get me started on the specials -- meatloaf, lasagna, caprese salad, lobster & shrimp ravioli... they nail it every time. And there's still more -- we haven't even made it to the burgers and pizza yet! This is one bar that truly gets bar food right. I'm no Gordon Ramsay, but I have a feeling even Mr. Hell's Kitchen himself would give a nod of approval. The dishes are high quality, packed with flavor, and always leave you planning your next visit before you've even finished the last bite. My wife and I have a saying: if it's crave-worthy, it's noteworthy -- and Southside checks that box every time. Forget about eastside or westside... Southside is where it's at.
