What an appropriate name! I thought I'd covered every bar on North Oak long ago! Every time I saw…read morethe name "Lost Bar" come up in my research I assumed it had to be a new name for a bar I'd already been too. Ironically, my BARDAR has gone off numerous times while driving past the very strip mall in which this bar is located. It's a strip mall that screams that it has a bar in it, yet there isn't one to be found... ...unless you look in the back. But why would you? From Oak it looks like a standard one-story strip mall with nothing behind it. But it turns out there's a sharp drop in the hill and there is indeed a lower level around back. Lost Bar is a small, dark, smokey dive -- exactly what you'd expect such a well-hidden place to be. There's pool tables, games, and a small stage. There seems to be a well-knit group of regulars. Our bartender was very friendly and pleasant. Beer was poured cold and at just the right price: cheap! I really enjoyed my visit here and will be back.

I came here tonight on my way home from dinner. It seemed to be a slow Friday night (Nov 7, 2025),…read morebut there were pockets of patrons. I sat at the bar and Emily immediately greeted me and asked for my order. I also requested to get the USC game on one of the TV's which she immediately made happen. The juke box was off line but the bar had a great "dive bar" feel. Clayton, a patron sitting next to me at the bar, immediately introduced himself to me and we started some small talk. It was hard to hear Clayton as the table behind us had a group on women who were clearly having a good time, but one that was so loud and obnoxious it spoiled the good time for the other patrons at the bar. I watched three different couples ask to close out due to the noise. Fortunately, Emily managed the situation and they left. Suddenly the jukebox was back on line and me and the other patrons that survived the old lady outburst were happy to enjoy this wonderful bar. I will definitely be back and I appreciate a place that looks out for all customers, not necessarily the ones buying the most drinks.

We joined in their Pop Culture Trivia night and it was a sort or mashup of bingo and trivia. For instance, a short trailer of a movie, and if you recognized it on your board, you mark it off. The topics were all over the place, with one being Catherine O'Hara films (RIP), together with modern slow folk music, and mockumentaries. OK! Could be cool to have a round of just 90's hits, or 80's movies, etc. If you're one of the very select few to win, you take home... an old VHS tape. Funny, but I would probably "accidentally forget" mine on the bar table had I won. It would be kinda fun if they threw in a free drink or something to make it worth it. The final prize was a few comp tickets to Screenland Armour upstairs, which they are connected to. The hosts were both friendly, and the vibes of the place are good. Overall just a fun, throwback place where you don't have to shout over anyone to talk. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere and display within the bar is awesome. The employees, owners, and regular drinkers were best of the best. There's a zero chance you come here and don't have a 10/10 experience. Would recommend this place to everyone and everyone.

On our evening out, the ambiance won the day. Dining on a terrace, with a view, wins every time. We…read morewere dining late so our service was rushed, but the waiter took time to guide our selections. No staters, other than cocktails. The MAI TAI, ENVY OF ALL & the white SANGRIA were all tasty, but at $18 a piece, they should have been spectacular. Taste/presentation did NOT warrant the price tag. We are always delighted to see a WEDGE SALAD on the menu & it was just what you expect in a wedge, which never disappoints, but croutons were unnecessary. Unusual the house dressing was a peppercorn ranch for an Italian restaurant, which was heavy for the MIXED GREENS salad. The CAESER was a winner for my 16 year old son. My 91 year old mother, enjoy the CHEF SOUP, which was turkey & rice... this is high praise for one who always has soup and typically finds fault. The CHICKEN PICCATA was meh. I know this is a safe dish for people to order, but this version had no zest, choose something else. The CHICKEN CARBONARA was served with the egg yolk in the center so you stir it into the hot pasta to cook it. My son loved this presentation, made it fun and most importantly DELICIOUS. Our BEST dish was the BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIB! When we return to KCMO, we'll definitely reorder this dish and sample some of the others. For dessert we shared the COCONUT BANANA CRÈME PIE... too bad it had whipped cream and not baked merengue.

Odd. We appreciated the heads up however, I feel like they were really wanting us to turn around and leave as the restaurant seemed overwhelmed. We stayed as it was too late in day to go elsewhere. The kitchen was indeed backed up, no silverware provided had to ask, and our server said to order right away if we wanted to get our food. They were out of some items. Took 45 minutes for food to arrive. However, the staff was apologetic, even though it took awhile to be served the meal itself was acceptable --the pork chop, surf and turf, braised meat, and pizza were all hits. Server had to confirm with kitchen if they were still serving dessert, we were able to order. The desserts consisted of banana coconut pie which basically pudding & bananas in a bowl, tiramisu, and Keylime, all were just okay not worth $. The patio is beautiful and perfect for a nice day. It is very expensive, so we'll save it for special personal occasions not a national holiday/special day, but the food quality makes it worth a return visit.
