Well another group of ppl were hangin out with us since we're cool, an started to play music as well. By almost the end of the night neither one of us heard most of the songs we played so we complained about it. After our party was upset over the situation we left. While outside socializing a chic heard my homegirl say "bitch" an thought we called her one when in reality she was sayn "ain't that a bitch" but the chic was super drunk an heard it wrong. Anyways she went inside an told the bartender (who I guess no her) an he came outside rite as we were twinkling but remind you, there's only two bathrooms in the place that were full an we definitely wasn't gonna pee on our nice clothes, beside the fact we didn't wanna go back in after that incident...he asked us to leave an said we cnt ever come back ..my homies started talkn slick to him sayn they wnt ever be back ..we left and I'm thinkin all is cool so I went back a few wks later only to be told I cnt come back in becuz I was bein disrespectful, like really?? That definitely wasn't fair considerin I took pics on Halloween wit the same bartender guy who said that an he was cool wit my then, not to mention we spent alot of money there, so I felt offended. I ended up leavin an found a better bar up the st called Dewey's in which I no the owner, that's wat better, and dnt jus except 'cash only', it also has a live DJ who plays real good music so we dnt need to spend ours for songs we didn't even get to hear! So I'm not really upset about him sayn I can't come there anymore becuz it's their LOSS!!!

Of the 5 places we stopped at, Sammy's was the only one that I had not previously been to. It is also the only stop that I see myself not returning too. The joint is pretty small with a long wooden bar and the atmosphere is old school neighborhood dive bar. Equally as small was the hospitality from the lady behind the bar. We seemed to be interrupting her Candy Crush game or Facebook scrolling and she was in no mood for small talk, friendliness or any form of positive customer interaction that one expects when entering a watering hole. We ended up taking our beers outside to their less than spectacular patio, and left as soon as we could for a very cool experience 2 blocks north at the Colonial Club.

The menus is simple and posted on a chalkboard by the bar! You have your choice of tots or fries and the french fries are thinly sliced steak fries which were actually very good. The tenderloins are of course larger than the bun, but they're perfectly thin so that you don't feel gross after eating it. Cheeseburger is a double and quite juicy. The inside is broken, basically into two sections one where the bars located and pool table and a couple of four tops and then the other side has a little more seating. Great neighborhood bar that makes first time visitors feel welcome.

There's been several bars that have refused to serve me for one reason or another (usually due to…read moreme not being a member). I respect the rule that The Bartender is God, so normally I would not write a review about a bar that would not serve me. But Dixie's is one of two such places where the refusal was done in such an unnecessary manner that it warrants a writeup. My friends and I had been warned by other bartenders several times throughout the day that Dixie's is the hardest dive bar in KCK to get into, but we had to try. Like most of the clubs further in-town in KCK, you have to be buzzed in. We managed to get in the door, but then faced the Grand Inquisition. We were grilled not only by the bartender (a middle-aged blonde-ish woman) but also by a customer at the end of the bar. "Check their membership cards! They don't belong here! Throw them out!" he kept shouting as the bartender nagged a Mexican family who also were not members. We tried to ask the bartender how to become members, and she huffed that it was none of our business and she didn't have to tell us. The customer at the end of the bar raised his voice again: "They don't belong! Call the police!" This wasn't necessary at all, we had respected the rules everywhere we have been and we were already leaving, but this customer was being way too much of an asshole about it. So, noticing that this guy was reading a new book that one of my friends had just finished reading, my friend leaned over his shoulder and whispered the ending into his ear as we left. "That's what you get for being a jackass," my friend added as we walked out the door.

Dive Bar Oasis located in the Westbottoms. Lucky Boys is the definition of no frills, but it has a…read moreunique identity. It knows what it is (and subsequently what it is not). I imagine full-heartly that Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson would approve of Lucky Boys and could be found clandestinely puffing on a cigarette in the back by the now defunct cigarette machine. It is dark, dare I say a tad bit dingy, and I don't think they serve PBR, but Hamms is definitely offered. It's that kind of place...cold cans of beer aren't paired with a glass, and that's just okay. Just in case you're a tap beer person, be warned they almost exclusively carry LogBoat taps which are out of Columbia. So, if you aren't familiar with LogBoat Snapper IPA's, my personal choice, then you may be trying something new you aren't familiar with but, you won't be getting a domestic on draft. Also, did I mention there's a pool table? The food menu is comprised of a few well-done bar food options, most of which are served between two buns, but if pizza is more your beer buddy of choice have no fear because fortunati pizzeria is attached and available for ordering. But believe me, the sandwiches and fries are so worthy of an order. The now extinct fish sandwich was my favorite, but have no fear they have hinted at a new fish favorite (maybe a shrimp roll) being added to the menu soon. The hot chicken sandwich is excellent, and so is the burger. Nothing here misses if you come in with your expectations being set at a handheld meal that compliments drinking and not with a stuffy attitude. Caution you may get messy. The burger is savage, dripping with the good stuff and covered in melted orange-yellow cheese. But, my go-to now is Lucky Boy's take on a hot chicken sandwich fried golden brown, crispy, and with just a hint of spice. The coleslaw accompanying it wasn't too wet and was mild in flavor, adding just a nice cut of freshness and creaminess to the fried salty sandwich. Mentioning being fried, the fries themselves are textbook. They're "golden brown and delicious" while being in between thick and thin and also still maintaining the true essence of potato. I can't wait to try the poutine promised to be loaded with cheese curds and smothered with brown gravy. Anything with those fries as a base is a money dish, I would suggest chili cheese fries of some sort for the fall because that would fit in nicely with the menu. It's a small but mighty showing for a small but magnificent bar. Lucky Boys has gotten lucky with the perfect mix of kitsch and nostalgia. It's like a 90s country song or a great burger it never goes out of style.

Not worth the trek nor the expense.
