    Queens of the Stone Age.
    Charley B.

    Grinders KC, formerly Crossroads KC, is an outdoor music venue. It has a similar name as the Grinders restaurant, and shares a patio, but it's a separate business in a lot just south of the 18th Street and Oak intersection. They book world class talent. I've seen Jurassic 5, Queens of the Stone Age, TV on the Radio, Thievery Corporation, Gary Clark, Jr. and more. They've also invested in state-of-the-art sound and light systems so whoever you come to see will look and sound good. Sightlines are generally good, however the ground doesn't slope much so you might have issues if you're vertically challenged or if you're toward the back. The venue also has a roof over the sound board and lighting truss. If you're caught behind it it could block your view. There are concessions areas, however if it's a busy, lines will form. I recommend buying a couple of drinks at a time or leaving a bit before the opening band ends its set. The same advice holds true when arriving. Kansas City likes to show up fifteen minutes before the show starts. Unfortunately, the venue only has one entrance and a line will quickly form. If you're wanting to see the opener for a popular show, please come early.

    My husband and I actually drove past this place at first--I was expecting green signage, not red,…read moreso it didn't immediately catch my eye. Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch. Once inside, it's very dark with deep red lighting--almost like stepping into a cave. It took a moment for our eyes to adjust, but once they did, we immediately felt at ease. The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere.

There's two levels of entertainment. The service was friendly. Only thing is that they don't have food so eat beforehand. There was a hummus plate and some desserts. We had soooo much fun. Such talented musicians. This was a must visiting from LA!

    I recently attended the USA vs. Belgium watch party but I've been here for concerts, the NFL draft,…read moreand other events. It's not my normal scene but I've always had a good time and I feel like it's run really well. It's located smack dab in the middle of power and light. Parking lots are around but it'll cost at least $20. You do have a streetcar option. I usually park a mile away and just walk. There are a ton of restaurants that surround it, a large stage, tvs, and lots and lots of bars. It's outdoors but there's a large canopy that blocks some of the sun. There are two levels, the upper level is great if it gets crowded because the lower level gets a little stuffy and hot when bodies start packing in. You can enjoy a bit of a breeze if you're on the upper level and it tends to not be as crowded. But if you want to be in the action then I recommend the lower level for you. Bathrooms are relatively clean. I've seen and experienced worse and theirs are way better than I ever expected. The age range tends to skew younger. Like early to mid 20s. A sprinkling of 30-40 year olds. Then maybe a few that are older. It's definitely frat/sorority vibes, at least in my experience but the kids have always been well behaved. There's lots of surrounding restaurants that you can get food and beverages from. Plus bars throughout. Drink prices are a bit higher than a regular bar but the quality and sizes are much better than at other popular venues so I don't complain. For 20 bucks I can get 32oz of Tank 7 at Johnnys. They have several cocktails, I like Besos crushers. I did see some individuals with buckets of booze from somewhere. Food wise there's a bit of everything-regular bar food, bbq, tacos, Irish food, pizza, and probably other things that I'm not recalling. The pizza by the slice is decent but I tend to gravitate once again to Johnnys because I can put in an order to go and grab it and go home after whatever event. Fun spot. The soccer watch party was a super fun time and I honestly enjoyed it more than the FIFA fan fest. The hosts are great. Definitely check out an event here sometime.

    Worst concert venue. They oversell tickets, it's extremely crowded and dangerous in the heat…read more Nowhere to stand and you are pushing past people just to get to a bathroom or get a drink. You can barely see the artist unless you are at the very front or elevated. Will never go to a concert here unless there's some VIP standing room which is still not great.

We've been to a lot of concerts there over the years and the building and bathrooms have never been so well taken care of. Just wanted to come on here and give the building staff a compliment. All of your hard work really made the concert going experience that much better. Thank you! The only thing that would help get to the 5 stars is if they monitored the indoor smoking a bit more and water didn't cost $5 a bottle. But really, overall, great job, T-Mobile Center.

Incident Details: Time/Location: Saturday, May 16, 2026, at approximately 7:30 PM at the back entrance of T-Mobile Center during the UMKC graduation. What Happened: I exited and attempted to re-enter through the back entrance. I was stopped by security and told I could not re-enter. At the same time, I personally witnessed a white family being allowed to re-enter through that same entrance without issue. I was singled out and denied the same access granted to others. Escalation: When I asked to speak to a supervisor, my request was ignored by security. A KCPD officer on site then threatened me with arrest simply for asking for a supervisor. I was not disruptive, threatening, or violating any posted policy. Staff Involved: I do not have badge numbers or names. The security staff and KCPD officer involved can be identified via security camera footage from the back entrance at approximately 7:30 PM on May 16, 2026. I request that this footage be preserved immediately. My Concerns: Discrimination: Denying me re-entry while allowing a white family to re-enter is disparate treatment based on race. This violates Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Missouri Human Rights Act §213.065 RSMo, which prohibit discrimination in places of public accommodation. Intimidation by Law Enforcement: Threatening arrest for requesting a supervisor is retaliatory and an abuse of authority. Premises Liability: Under Missouri law, T-Mobile Center has a duty to ensure its agents treat invitees lawfully and without discrimination. Requested Resolution: Immediate preservation and review of all security footage from the back entrance at approximately 7:30 PM on May 16, 2026. Identification of and investigation into the security staff and KCPD officer involved. Written response within 10 business days detailing findings and corrective actions, including anti-discrimination training. Written apology for the treatment I received at my son's graduation. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and that all relevant video and records will be retained pending investigation. This was my son's college graduation. No parent should be subjected to racism and police threats on a day meant for celebration. Michelle
