Their little pavilion area was PACKED with families, music bumping, and overall a nice time. A lot of the businesses here sort of "Control C + Control V" from other areas of town, mainly the one I live in, Brookside. Red Door, Plate, Shake Shack, Aixois, Rally House, etc. It's part of our city's (IMO) disappointing sprawl, but it is what it is. They also turn the pavilion area into an ice rink in the winter, and there are some good spots to eat in here as well. Not a place I'd regularly seek out living far away, but nice to have and I like how they set up things for families each weekend in the summer.

I ordered a seasonal iced peach latte - that had just a hint of peach sweetness to it and an otherwise caramel-y flavor - and got a spot right by the counter. The morning was temperate, so one of the garage doors at the front was open. As we reached noon, they closed the garage door to let the A/C do its thing. The main door otherwise opens into the sink room of the bathroom area, which is admittedly quirky-cute. My barista, Quinn, was super knowledgable and told us about the specials coming up this week to entice us back. She took some time to chat with me about why she loves working there, and both she and the other barista seemed to fit perfectly into the space. Thriving plants, lots of space to mingle or work - though, be prepared for someone to sit right next to you anyway - I wish I lived a little closer because this would absolutely be my new regular. As it is, I will be back often. Fun perk: convenient, big parking lot just north of the shop.

The backyard is like having a friends house that serves coffee. The swingset and activities are great for kids to play while you sit and enjoy the outdoors. Even better, the mission of this nonprofit coffee shop to employ those aging out of foster care is a reason alone I'd come support.

I found a pristine 80's jacket, with the shoulder pads still in it! They were running a 20% off sale when I visited, and the employees were so kind and helpful.

They have tons of vintage clothing, and they also have an excellent selection of vintage records. They have a smaller selection of vintage shoes and hats and purses. They have a variety of knickknacks that are vintage or unique. The Service was friendly and helpful and they had sales going on at the time. The only reason I give it a four star is that I think their clothing was overpriced even with having 20% off.

Inside they have around 12 chairs at 2 tables for seating. I am not a huge fan of Reubens, but this one of the few places that I want one from.

There is a good selection of Scotches to buy as well as Irish snack and foods in the main area, There is a several rooms of Irish wears and merchandise as well.

Originally hosting the Pabst Brewery taproom and ballroom - look for the original tile mosaic as you enter- as part of "The Worlds Wettest Block", the street where dry Kansas came to drink. The building has also played host to a casino, The famous jazz bar The Antlers Club and most recently a fetish club. The large space has now been transformed into a well curated piece of history with lots of art and artifacts to admire, an area for live music, 2 ping-pong tables centrally placed, a cool old safe, several small tables and lounging areas, and a cool old 1950's era long bar and stools and a beautiful tile floor. A fantastic aesthetic accentuating KC's rich and vibrant history! I popped in on a Saturday afternoon and of course I had to order a Pabst Blue Ribbon. A small group were playing some serious ping-pong while I was able to have a great little conversation and history lesson from owner and bartender Sean. I'm very eager to Uber down to the Bottoms soon and enjoy some live jazz, folk or bluegrass music and sample their craft cocktail menu. When you go, ask how their "Boobie Trap" cocktail got it's name. Bottom Line - Great people tastefully preserving Kansas City history in a cool environment while having fun doing it!

It is in exquisite shape and wonderful to play on. There always seems to be something going on at the doghouse whether it's a fun conversation at the bar with the regulars or guys just sitting in there picking guitar guitars and singing and having a good time, you never know exactly what's gonna be going on when you walk in but it's gonna be fun.
