    I came here for The Struts concert. I loved the venue. It was a chilly May evening but they had heaters above which kept us comfortable all night. The band sounded great thanks to the acoustics. It was easy to get around and find a spot. It looks like they offer VIP tickets where a fan can watch from the top balcony area too. This must be a hot spot for fellow Yelpers because I ran into 4 elites that night :)

    Stopped here one night while visiting KCMO. Our group decided to check it out as we just stumbled upon the area walking back to the hotel. I wish there was a live band, but there was a DJ on stage. There were a bunch of different bars to choose from. I think it's a little crazy for some of them to offer cover charges, we did not go into those. It's a great concept that I wish could be brought to the area I live in (the weather is not permitting to such a venue).

    Kansas City was so completely unprepared for Wisconsin coming to town. Leinenkugel's KC put up a valiant effort. But with space for thousands of Badger fans in the complex, attendance pumped up by the following day's Packer/Chiefs game, they could not keep up with the demand for beer and food. There are 31 bars in the area according to the KC Live website, and about a dozen within the confines of this entertainment complex. Maybe 5 were actually open for the Badger game, and every one except Leinenkugel's had 1 bartender. The outdoor bar which could have served the crowd watching on the big screen did not open until the end of the game. In addition, the outdoor stage was set up for an event later that day. While the game was on the screen behind the stage, the screen was half covered by speaker stacks. It wasn't until sometime late in the game where someone thought to raise the screen above all the clutter. I understand it's not the home crowd, but from a business perspective I would have thought they'd have been better prepared for the onslaught of Wisconsin-level partying coming their way. We have to spend money to drink that beer. Especially when Googling "Badger Bars in KC" specifically lists Leinenkugel's as the place to be. This is a great venue, and we had a great time. I'm sure it's an asset to Kansas City. However, we only got to enjoy a fraction of the things offered there and what was available was swamped and we spent much of our time there waiting in line. Thanks to the bartender at the Pizza Bar for doing your best to keep the throng happy. We would have stayed there and watched the game, but not when the jukebox is playing instead of the TV. Although that decision probably shortened the line to the bathroom, which was nice.

    The KC live block is so much fun! Lots of restaurants and great bars to hangout at for any mood your in! Want to dance and party hard? Go to Mosaic, PBR, Angels, or Shark Bar. Want to play games and chill? Go to pizza bar, No Other pub, Johnny's or Dubliner.

    If you are the frat and sorority type that goes bar hopping and black out drunk, this is the place for you. And I'm dead serious. There are a bunch of bars and restaurants next to each other in a "Town Center" type feel with live bands every week during the summer. It's also 3 to 4 floors and the concerts are Free so it gets packed very quickly on the weekends. They show the US Soccer matches on the big screen here which is fantastic if you want to watch among thousands of people. I wouldn't recommend families coming here for a Saturday night dinner unless your goal is to drink and drink all night. Parking can be difficult for free concert nights, but try the garage by Constentino's!

    Went here for date night and was not disappointed…read more The beer battered cheese curds are a must. I got the smash burger and my partner got the waygu beef burger with some fun toppings. It took us a while to get through the menu because of all the fun burgers they offered. I kind of wish I tried something else because a smash burger is pretty straightforward, but delicious regardless. I also got a yummy gin drink (i'm blanking on the name) that was prepared in a cute cocktail glass. And of course, we had to get the truffle fries which were to die for. Great service, he got us in and out of there on a busy night without rushing too much. Higher end burger place with prices that reflect that, but nothing too ridiculous. Definitely will be coming back.

We explained why we had chosen the restaurant, offered flexibility about seating and service, and asked for a manager. The answer remained a flat no. With appointments afterward, we stayed in a freezing dining room just feet from the outdoor seating we had requested. There appeared to be only about three other occupied tables, which made the inflexibility even more frustrating. I understand operational limitations. What disappointed me was how dismissive the response felt. We left feeling like accommodating our request was an inconvenience. The service staff were fine. The food was unremarkable. With sandwiches around $17 before adding tots and drinks, our lunch came to approximately $34 per person including a 20% tip, before tax. For the overall experience, that was poor value. Our office is a block away. This could have become a regular lunch destination, but I won't be returning. Customers do not owe a restaurant their business. It has to be earned. A prime Power & Light address doesn't make up for dismissive hospitality. BRGR, do better.

The portion was huge, and the crust was perfectly crisp, but the meat itself could have used a bit more seasoning. The cottage fries were crispy and a nice change from regular fries. The cinnamon rolls, however, were a little too sweet for our taste. The customer service was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The only downside was that the tables were fairly close together, so it was easy to overhear nearby conversations. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back, especially for the outstanding fried chicken!
