My very 1st memory of the Corner Bar is from the early 70's and my Mom would pull up in front and…read moretell me to go in and get your father. My father was usually annoyed at having to leave his shuffleboard game, loaded jukebox or conversation with the equally loaded good ole boys. The bartender would often threaten to throw me down the heating vent behind the bar; which I believed to be a portal to the Underworld; unless I went and told my mother to come back in a while. Just like my mother leaving for a while and returning, so did I. I left Liberty and the Corner Bar before I could legally drink and then in the early 2000's I ended up back in Liberty for a decade. I remember going back the first time as an adult and being a little trepidatious about entering since I had heard plenty of stories about it attracting the "wrong crowd" - mostly from judgmental Country Club types. I now understand that I am "the wrong crowd" because some of the most fun I've ever had at a bar has been here. I've reconnected with long lost friends, made lots of new friends, "owned" the shuffleboard table, played a lot of great and obscure stuff on the juke box and have had some of the best conversations ever- all in this perfectly classic Dive Bar. It's been a decade since I have lived in the neighborhood and now I only am able to get back for a fun night about once a year. My visit last weekend offered a lot of newer and younger clientele, but still a few older regulars but most importantly the same welcoming spirit of comradery. I hope The Corner Bar can hold out for a few more future generations.

Dive bar? Hole in the wall?…read moreYes yes it is. And its awesome. Iys one of those scratched floor and wall. Sraped up bar. Dinged chairs. But its actualy super clean. The bathroom is always stocked with everythibg needed. Witch is more then I can say for most bars. And everything is in working order. The pool table dosnt even habe a burn or stain on it. At least not as of my last visit. Music comes from a juke box and a lot of the trendy pop/rap is blocked. Lol. Tue nights and Fridays are the best. Thats when "lennie" is the bartender. Thats right. Just one bartender for the whole place.

I'd been so excited to stop in here and check it out. Every time we drove down Wornall, that name…read morejust spoke to me and I decided I needed to see what was actually inside Flo's. As it turned out, it is just a neighborhood bar. It's not large, but it does have a pool table in the back and it was really clean. Lots of regulars and people just enjoying conversations or time by themselves. The drink of choice while we were there seemed to be beer and I would have to say that they did not have a great selection of bourbon; however, they seemed to have what their customers wanted, so all was good.

Have a fun attitude and get you the coldest beer in town literally beer on ice Not much in a way of food, but they allow you to bring food in so again no complaints just good times They do have the very best shuffleboard table in all of Kansas City. It is in exquisite shape and wonderful to play on. There always seems to be something going on at the doghouse whether it's a fun conversation at the bar with the regulars or guys just sitting in there picking guitar guitars and singing and having a good time, you never know exactly what's gonna be going on when you walk in but it's gonna be fun.

I hosted a bridal brunch for my daughter before her wedding and chose Third Place Lounge in…read moredowntown Kansas City after finding it on The Knot. The venue looked perfect, so I reached out to Amanda and booked the event. A few weeks before the brunch, I had questions about flowers and parking. I called Amanda several times and never received a return call. I also texted her and discovered that the phone number listed on the website was not working. At that point, I became concerned and honestly wondered if I had been scammed. Since I live out of town, I asked my sister to stop by the venue. She went there twice. The first time, she spoke with someone at the bar who said Amanda would call me back, but I never heard from her. The second time, my sister was able to speak directly with Amanda, who said she had been very busy and would contact me. Eventually, Amanda called and apologized, but I felt she often spoke over me when I was trying to express my concerns. I found it unprofessional that multiple calls and texts went unanswered and that my sister had to make two trips to the venue before I received a response. A few days before the event, Amanda apologized again and assured me she would make things right. She told me she would be present on the day of the brunch and also mentioned she would reserve a parking space in front of the building for some of our elderly guests since the venue is located on a busy street. On the day of the event, I arrived to find scaffolding in front of the building, which was disappointing and affected the appearance of the venue. When I called Amanda, she informed me that she would not be there after all. The reserved parking space that had been discussed was also not available. The brunch itself went well. We had approximately 35 guests, the drinks were very good, and the staff members who were there worked hard. However, there were only two staff members serving our group, and the overall customer service leading up to the event left much to be desired. As someone planning an important event from out of town, communication and responsiveness are extremely important. While the event itself was successful, I was disappointed by the lack of follow-through, inconsistent communication, and unmet expectations. My hope is that Third Place Lounge improves its customer service so future clients have a smoother and more positive experience.

The drink menu has alcoholic and non alcoholic options. I have tried multiple cocktails and mocktails and I think the espresso martini drinks are where they shine the most. I tried two (classic and the sin ti) and they are amazing. The atmosphere is great as well. It's cozy, and has ambient lamp and bar lighting which gives it that warm night lounge vibe. The furniture is comfy as well. I could come here and read a book, catch up with friends, and play games. It definitely fits the name of your third place beyond home and work.
