    This is a beautiful brewery with a large number of seating areas. There is the quieter indoor seating upstairs next to the first bar, there is plenty of patio seating, and there is another lower level where events typically happen that has a few tables as well. We went last night to see our friend DJ and the atmosphere was fantastic. They also now have a chicken restaurant attached that everyone was a fan of.

    We had a great time - the space is relaxed with tables and chairs, along with a couple cozy spots and a bar. The bartender was friendly and shared her recommendations. My date got a stout and I got a refreshing lighter beer. While the neighboring restaurant was being remodeled, it still is a great place to visit!

    My favorite brewery in KC! It's such a vibe whether there's live music, a DJ, or no music at all, the atmosphere is always great. The staff is friendly, and they have a great selection of beers that keep me coming back.

    This place is everywhere so finally made a long overdue visit on a Saturday afternoon for a couple of pints. The hype is not unfounded. It's a fun, cool place to hang out. The beers were mighty, the servers super friendly. And men can be men, as evidenced by a mom struggling to get her two young kids, a stroller and a giant toy to their table as dad followed behind holding his flight of beer. Looking forward to going back on a warmer day and checking out the beer garden.

    Girl Scout Cookies paired with beers, need I say more? A novelty idea for one day only at vine street brewery made me drop everything and come in- okay well it's not that hard to get me into vine street...it's such a vibe! (What a millennial thing to say, I know) But, it truly is. What makes Vine Street Brewery unique is all the fun local partnerships they have. As well as, the community feel that this brewery has, it becomes more than just a place to sip it's a place to gather. The cookie and beer pairing were as follows That Box Fade Bro and Lemonades Dubs and Adventurefuls Jazzman and Trefoils Obscura Fortuna and Caramel Delites My favorite paring was most definitely the That Box Fade Bro and Lemonades because the hazy IPA had notes of citrus that paired well with the buttery light shortbread cookies with the lemony iced bottom. Then came the Obscura Fortuna and caramel Delite duo because, honestly a caramel Delite can never do any wrong. This beer is a deep rich stout with coconut and dark malt flavors which were the perfect match for the crispy coconut packed caramel delite. Thirdly, came the cookie I was least familiar with, the Adventureful matched with the Dubs. This cookie is a dark chocolate exterior that's crunchy with a hint of creamy salted caramel and the Dubs beer is smooth higher abv Belgium dubbel. Last but not least, my all time favorite tried and true Girl Scout cookie- the trefoils which was paired with the Jazzman brew. This beer I'd like to think is an ode to the Jazz district of 18th and Vine as well as it shares a name with a Carol King song I love and enjoy...so maybe there's double meaning to it. The Jazzman is dark and a unique dark lager flavor profile which I guess pairs well with a neutral cookie like a classic shortbread.

    A beautiful brewery with multi use spaces. Loved the new cocktail and service was good.

    Way past due, but my visit to Vine Street Brewing exceeded expectations. For any out of state and international visitors, this brewery is located in a historic, iconoclast Kansas City neighborhood. The brewery thoughtfully represents those roots and has created an amazing space to enjoy a good beer in the 18th and Vine district. The staff is very knowledgeable about the beers while being super attentive and conversational. They helped me narrow down which beers to order. My first beer was a Dark Lager, Jazzman (which I'd had before). This time was different and served via Lukr slow pour. This Czech pour style adds a soft, velvet mouthfeel to what's already a great tasting beer. My second beer was a crisp, hoppy American IPA with a milky white head. It was called Jerry Curl Drippin and it ended my visit on a high note.

    This is the first Black-owned brewery in MO and the 2nd Black-owned brewery I've ever been to. (the other is Métier Brewing Company in Seattle) If these two breweries are any indication we need a TON more breweries owned by non-white folks in this country! Both of these breweries had incredible, hoppy lager beers. Many breweries brew hoppy beers, many breweries brew lager beers, very few brew hoppy lager beers. The Cold IPA on tap here was the perfect medicine for the 98+ degree temperatures in Kansas City. It was so good I bought a 4-pack to take home. That might not mean much to you, but, as a home-brewer in love with his own beers, I rarely purchase beer at breweries. But the combo if being in a hotel away from home, and the absolute cold crispy hoppy refreshment of this lager caused me to change my mind. And I haven't even touched on the ambiance. This brewery looks like an old frontier castle. It's an ancient building built of big rocks that's been revitalized into a wonderful community space. A must-stop on your visit to Kansas City! PS: they have one of the best brewery logos I've ever seen!

    A very hip and chill place for an afternoon cider.

    So I accidentally traipsed across this spot looking for The Spot (now The Nook located in the main library downtown). It is a cool funky kind of place with a very chill and positive vibe. My son and I tried a few beers and they were very well crafted and highly unique in flavor profile. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Due to a leg injury, I could not make the trip down to the actual brewery, but my son did and he was impressed. I will update the review on my return trip which there definitely will be one, there are so many beers I have left to try.

    Great space. The vibes and artwork really made me feel like I at home in the Nay area. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They were happy to let us sample beers before ordering.

    We have been looking forward to trying Vine Street Brewing since it opened. This is the first Black owned brewery in Kansas City. It's located on Vine Street and shares a historic building with The Spot. Their decor ties in the history of the area and is vibrant creating a welcoming atmosphere. The beers we had were great and the service quick and friendly. There is lots of seating space inside upstairs and downstairs. They have a huge back patio with lots of extra seating area that will be great in the warmer months. The bathrooms here are gender neutral. They have the NICE period products, for free in the stalls. I appreciate the inclusivity and thought to spend a little extra on having nice plastic applicants and multiple sizes (light, regular and heavy) available for people. This is a must try in Kansas City.

    Fantastic drinks with a huge variety, awesome atmosphere and great live music! Stop by and appreciate it!

    We had the opportunity to check out Vine Street Brewing during their grand opening on Friday. One of my favorite beers was Life of the Party: Fruited Sour layered with blueberries, orange zest and lemon citrus flavor. This reminded me of old school sour before they started adding lactose to every damn thing. Perfect for a hot summer day. My other favorite was a surprise because I'm not a huge lager fan. But the Jazzman Black Lager was the perfect balance of smooth and refreshing. It was wayyyy too easy to drink. It was pretty busy so we didn't get to fully check out the space and the artwork but what I was able to see was awesome. Plus there's a castle across the street.

During my recent visits, I repeatedly observed behavior from one of the bartenders that made the environment feel uncomfortable and unprofessional. This man has frequently crossed personal boundaries and generally came across as someone who was more interested in making female patrons uncomfortable than providing good service. Instead of feeling like a place where everyone could relax, the atmosphere felt like a boys' club where inappropriate behavior was tolerated. The biggest disappointment wasn't just the employee's conduct--it was the lack of action or acknowledgement by management that concerns are taken seriously. Instead of addressing complaints, they move to suppress reviews. When an establishment allows and enables behavior that makes customers feel uncomfortable or unsafe, it reflects on the business as a whole. I used to recommend Border Brewing without hesitation, but I can't anymore. There are plenty of breweries in Kansas City where everyone can enjoy themselves without worrying about being subjected to inappropriate comments or an unwelcoming atmosphere.

The employees are friendly and helpful. Our bartender explained the different crafts on tap and even gave us a couple of samples to try. I ended up going with the "Mai Savior" - a Maibock (German) beer. Brewed for May 1st or "Bock Day", it has notes of malty honey with a slight caramel finish, and a 7.7% ABV. It was refreshing and very good! There are plenty of tv screens mounted throughout the building and with plenty of World Cup matches being played in different venues, it was easy to watch the different group play that was going on. And lo and behold in the corner there were 3 pinball machines! (I was really loving this place by now.) We had a great time playing them. Then, at the other end in the corner was a place where one can order pizza - which I can attest to it being very, very good. They have a covered outside seating area too that's pet friendly so feel free to bring your favorite K9 companion. What a great place!

The space feels relaxed and approachable without trying too hard. Big open taproom, easy atmosphere, good energy. The kind of brewery where you can settle in for one beer and accidentally stay for five. Mary behind the bar was awesome right away. Friendly greeting the second I walked in, super knowledgeable about every beer on tap, and genuinely helpful without making anything feel scripted or sales-y. Hospitality matters to me a lot, and she made the experience feel welcoming immediately. I worked my way through quite a few beers: Hop Cuddle, the collaboration with Tall Trellis, their Mexican-style lager, Weathered Wit, Pavers Porter, and the rice lager. Every single one was excellent, but that rice lager was probably my favorite. Crisp, clean, refreshing, incredible mouthfeel -- one of those beers that disappears way faster than you planned. Weathered Wit deserves a shout too. Light tartness, citrus notes, classic Belgian yeast character, ridiculously refreshing. Everything you want from a witbier on a warm day and they absolutely nailed it. (beeradvocate.com) Also, I'm genuinely excited to see breweries collaborating again.

The outdoor seating is a strong point. Serene, softly lit and spacious. The bartenders were business like friendly, they really don't want to hear your sad stories. The only downside was that they quit serving beer at halftime of the game we were watching. The game that went into extra time and on to penalty kicks. So we sat there for an hour and a half, thirsty, pockets full of unspent cash, watching the game while the neglected taps mercilessly mocked us. It honestly seemed baffling and inane beyond belief.

They offer German food that historically pairs with beer. I've always enjoyed the appetizers. They have a happy hour from 4-6 p.m. In the winter they usually run a special where you get a discount for sitting outside in the cold. I've done that a few times. Their calendar is always chock-full of events, so I recommend checking out their social media accounts to look for something fun.
