    We were in the mood for some seafood and decided to check out Pier 88 off of I-70. We started our meal with the hush puppies appetizer and the onion rings appetizer. Both were delicious, but I'll be craving those hush puppies again soon! We also ordered one of the specials: 1/2 lb shrimp, 1/2 lb Snow Crab Legs, 1/2 lb sausage, corn, egg, and potato for $30. We ordered Hot as our spice level, but we could've gone up a notch! Make sure to try the strawberry lemonade...it's so delicious. We waited a while for someone to come to our table but the service was overall pretty good after.

    TRASH!!!!! This place is the equivalent to going to the projects but unfortunately it's a restaurant. Drinks were trash and food over cooked! They couldn't make a proper drink to save their lives even if a god was in their face! Ambience? A dive bar has better quality than them!

    This was the first time I've been to the establishment. I started with a strawberry margarita. It was pretty delicious. I didn't need to add extra alcohol because it was strong enough. That is rare to find nowadays. I had mozzarella sticks and chicken wings and Cajun fries as well as the boil with crab, sausage, and shrimp. All the food was amazing!!! The service was also good. There were TV's available to watch the Chiefs game. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I was definitely pleasantly surprised and I look forward to dining there again...

    I was treated to an amazing dinner and get together with my friends last night! My friend and I. She's wearing her hat! hehe ^_^

    Last night my friends spoiled me at an eatery in Independence I didn't know existed there. Certainly not "new" to any of them of course lol.. since they've proudly been there Several times due to how Good it is! I couldn't agree more! The customer service was excellent! Destiny was our waitress last night and she was nothing BUT amazing to us and made sure we were comfortable, well aware of our meal options, and taken care of! ^_^ My first experience there is one I'll cherish forever! The quality of food was just ridiculous In every Great way possible. I'm also glad I opted mild spice instead of going Spicy like I usually do with this style cuisine, but I'm definitely gonna go Much spicier next time since I know it's gonna be incredible. The restaurant itself was really neat and rich with history! I appreciate how they went about allowing customers to leave some sort of signature or hand-drawn record behind wherever they sat or gathered there. Writing, drawings, and artwork was everywhere in there! That definitely added entertainment to our experience. I already know I'm going back in the future, and when I do I'm gonna had my signature and perhaps a little doodle or two! I'm bummed none of us thought to do so while there last night lol.. Thank you again Brandon for that meal! You rock !! The booths are very spacious and comfortable too! Something I also wanted to add. But even then, there is never enough room! Even for all 5 of us in that colossal booth there wasn't enough room! The food portions were huge! ^_^

Score has pool tables and darts which seemed popular. They also had karaoke going on which always seems to draw a crowd. The kitchen was open late and I was starving so I ordered a steak salad, definitely recommend as it was cooked to order with a nice amount steak on top. Prices were on par with sports bar prices. The bartender was very friendly and encouraged me to go up and sing. After some liquid courage I got up the nerve to sing a sing. The karaoke host was cool and welcoming too. Score was a great score indeed!

Pleasantly surprising, the place draws a demographic outwardly decent people it seems. So far so good. Beer...cold. Service...above average. Why a 3-star? The food. The menu brags of hand-breaded bone-in wings. If they are hand breaded, then I should be able to get them naked (no breading). They seem to have this confused here also for (no sauce). The wings are available with breading only; which means...you got it...prefab, breaded, frozen chicken wings (not what was on the menu). It shined through shamelessly. 1. So salty I couldn't eat them 2. Mushy meat I sent them back and got the fish and chips. It was just as good. Gnarly frozen fries with the weird crispy chemical on them. The fish was mediocre. Disappointed. Come for drinks. They serve them up promptly in a surprisingly clean environment (considering the area) and the staff and clientele are decent folks. Good place to check out sports and live music. I'll be back.

I had the Estrella, which comes with passion fruit sorbet on top of sparkling wine and nicta (corn liquor). It was interesting, but once the sorbet melted into the drink, it mostly just tasted like sorbet. Good, just not very "cocktail-forward." My husband had the Jade Jaguar, which was tasty -- probably a solid 7/10. Our friend ordered the Oaxacan, which ended up being the table favorite: smoky, slightly sweet, and really well balanced. We only tried a couple of snacks. The chicharrones were a highlight -- warm, crispy, and absolutely delicious. The bar nuts, however, weren't a favorite. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for something different and visually/atmospherically special. The music is great but a bit loud, so it's not ideal for long conversations or group hangouts. We didn't try the food menu beyond snacks, but based on the experience, I'd still recommend it for drinks and vibes.

Farewell is a DIY…read morelive music club located in the most out of the way and dilapidated neighborhood in KC, it looks like it should be demolished from the exterior and looks like they payed off the health and codes inspectors from the interior. I'm guessing a bunch of KCAI dropouts broke in one night and built a stage area and bar, moved in a bunch of mismatched furniture and spent $200 on garage sale "finds"; hung and painted some wild art and the requisite graffiti.... I'm not sure how to politely describe this space other than - IT'S Effing PERFECT! After reading about Farewell in a piece from KCUR, I ventured over early on a Saturday to check it out. I was slightly timid to enter not knowing what to expect, but as soon as I opened the door, I knew KC had a very cool and organic place to support live music. I sat at the bar and had a great conversation with bartender / barista Angel. I ordered the first Machiatto that Angel had ever created and it was great. Not wanting to leave so soon, I decided to have a beer and savor the atmosphere while checking out the entire space since I was the only customer. Lot's of art and artifacts to keep the eyes busy, the bathroom is lined with yellowed newspapers from the 60's and the back patio/garden looks like the caretaker passed away a few years ago. I am eager to return for some live music and truly experience the vibe. The booking calendar shows a range of musical styles but heavy on hardcore with multiple acts each night and a lot of touring bands as well as the local start-ups. This place is the epitome of Punk and KC is fortunate a new venue to carry-on the legacy.
