    This American Legion Post serves as a private rental hall on the top floor and a bar that serves…read morethe public on the bottom floor. I attended a celebration of life gathering in the rental hall last weekend and then stayed for a couple of drinks in the bar afterwards. The building is quite a hodge-podge of connected rooms and appears that is being maintained by volunteer maintenance people on a shoestring budget. I assume the city inspector must be a member because some of the things that I saw sure were sketchy. I would have no issues renting the hall, since I assume the rental charge is very reasonable, just not a place I would use if I was needing to impress my guests. The bar is dimly lit and cluttered but serves a potent drink on the cheap. The 2 female bartenders that I encountered were friendly enough and the clientele all seemed like regulars. If you are looking to make some friends in low places, this is where you should start. Both floors can be entered at ground level, plenty of parking and a huge cool 20th century military cannon out front.

    I'm reviewing this from the point of view of it being a dive bar, so take that into consideration…read more If you don't know where this is, it's one of the hardest dives to find in Kansas City. We tried on several different occasions to find it, failing each time. We'd pull up and ask people in their yards if they knew where it was -- most knew there was was an American Legion very close by but none could say exactly where. We even had the address but that only took us to someone's house. Finally we solved the mystery... there are two parallel streets with the exact same name. One dead-ends, the other does not. We needed to be on the dead end. Once we figured that out, it was easy to find. Especially since it has a huge military cannon out front. This is probably the darkest bar I've ever been in. It also borderlines as being the most redneck. If you like hearing the 'N' word every couple of minutes, then this is your kind of bar!
