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.

Tall Trellis is an awesome family friendly brewery. They're frequently busy but they have a large…read morespace and a big parking lot. They have a large patio area where dogs and kids can play and run around (leased dogs, not the kids ). They have a stage outside and lots of individual seating and picnic tables. They have one of the best brewery patios in KC. The indoor space is also fairly large and they do have a room that can be rented for private events. And this year, they added an outdoor tent so you don't have to freeze but can still be outside. They have a few TVs for sports ball watching. Service is always fanatic. Despite being busy, they're always clean. They do offer food-tacos, pizzas, kids menu. I've not tried any but I always see people ordering so it must be pretty good. It's a brewery so obviously they have beer, but they also have nonalcoholic beverages and wine. I stick to the beer. My favorites are alway the stouts. They remind me of simpler old school stouts that aren't sweet and heavy. They have live music and other events so make sure to follow their social media and definitely check them out!

Really cool local bar/restaurant I'm not a beer drinker so I can't speak on the beer and I know…read morethat's what they're known for and the food is pretty decent but honestly what I enjoy most how close it is to my house and all the outdoor seating it's just a nice place to go sit outside and enjoy a drink.

Lived in KC for 11yrs and went the first time for a concert a couple weeks ago. Fantastic layout,…read moregreat close parking (for free!) love that there are so many options of standing/sotting from the outdoor areas, stage side, upper deck, and inside! Has food and multiple bar windows, bathrooms are small but clean. Great open area and don't feel crowded at all. No matter where you're at you get to see the show either looking at the stage or a projector screen on it so you never miss a beat. Cash only!!!

This is a solid music venue in the area! Parking can be a little hit or miss, so be there early to…read moreavoid issues. We saw a cover band, but it looks like they have a lot of different artists coming through. We were there maybe ten minutes after doors opened and were able to get one of the last tables in the back. Concessions are limited, but very affordable. Definitely a fun spot for some live music!

Amazing!! We have been talking about how there needs to be more places where parents can hang out…read morewhile the kiddos have a hang out spot too. The new KC Bier Co. is just that for us!! They have a good sized play area outside with toys and other various things for kiddos. The beer and pizza is great this will definitely be a spot that we frequent. So happy for Lenexa!

Love the beer, bartender Sara, and the food. The atmosphere, whew!!! It is loud and I mean very,…read morevery loud. We can't wait until the cooler temps come so we can enjoy sitting outside where we can have an actual conversation and enjoy great beer. Side note: parents are supposed to supervise their kids at all times! There were little boys running back and forth unattended inside numerous times. Not all parents care, nor do they pay attention to POSTED rules. As an adult with older children, I would like to see the brewery do something to enforce this rule of theirs to make it enjoyable for everyone. Even parents on a date night, who are kid-free for one night, deserve the space to enjoy it! Drink up everyone, eat well, and enjoy KC Bier Co.

Rino is short for River North, which is fitting since this venue is in KC's coolest neighborhood…read morenorth of the river. The Rino is a plain decent-sized (200 capacity-ish?) room with a stage on one end and a soundboard at the other. The sound and lights, while not the loudest, clearest or brightest, are perfectly acceptable. There is a doorway that leads into a neighboring room. It looks like there might be a bar in there, however during my visits I've only seen bands setting up and selling merch. All ages are welcome, though during my visits, the audience has trended younger. Entertainment seems to be on the louder end including punk rock and metal bands, however I've seen hip hop and singer songwriters on the schedule. Unless larger national shows are booked, Mondays and Tuesdays are open mic nights. Wednesdays are open mic comedy nights.

They have VIP seating--it does offer bistro tables/seating, behind the theatre style seats, but perhaps only for "LIVE" events? So far, the seats are comfy. Plenty of leg room where I'm seated--4th row from the stage-stage left? lol I have no clue but facing the stage, I'm seated on the right, so?? They do have a concession stand, and there's a food truck outside--not sure the truck is this venue's modus operandi.

I was excited to go with my wife and parents to see The Truetones as my mom is a huge Beatles fan. I underestimated how much it would fill up so we stood up near the stage. Though we would not have expected this, Aztec's staff was very kind to offer us any available seats. I do wish there was more standing room available and I wish there was a larger variety of music that played here. However, the classic rock cover bands I've seen here put on a GREAT show. I'm glad to have this place in my local community.
