IPA and frozen lemonade
Michelle M.

This is a very small, very hip little joint with cool art and delicious drinks. The service is always great and we are big fans of their music bingo (& frozen cocktails)!

Randomly walked in to Fringe beerworks the other day and was very happy we did. The bartender was very friendly. He explained that the art on the walls was done by somebody local. Everything was super creative and fun definitely carnival vibes and I was obsessed. In the back they have pinball machines and other games you can play as well as a small patio. They also offer a board game shelf which I absolutely love board games so I appreciate it very much. We don't live around Lees summit but we will be back to visit.

Fun house vibe with great brews and pinball! Walked in on a whim and expecting this to be a tiny micro brewery and was pleasantly surprised to find a back room with pinball, board games and a patio! The brew tender was a great guy and had great recommendations. I tried the blueberry lemonade and the cherry limeade beer. Both were delicious! I especially loved the artwork all around. It tied together the fun house theme and was fun to look at. I played the jaws pinball and had a blast. I will be coming back again soon to try some more brews and set some high scores.

I headed to Fringe Beerworks to hang out with a friend. Turns out, it's pretty awesome! Great beer - I had a stout and IPA, and both met-and maybe exceeded-my standards. The server was also very friendly. The cozy neighborhood bar vibe creates the perfect ambiance to enjoy your pints...and if you're thinking about braving the great outdoors, there is a nice outdoor seating area. We avoided that because of the scorching heat this time of year (July). Street parking is plentiful, and their location in Lee's Summit's downtown adds to the cool factor. They might have their own lot, but I didn't check since it was easy to find a spot on the street. They have both in-person and online menus, which is pretty convenient - you can peruse the beer list before you go, which I especially appreciate. Another cool thing - Fringe Beerworks spices things up with events like Game Night, which they were having the night we were there, although we didn't attend. So yeah, great brews, friendly vibes, easy parking, and a downtown location - loved it!

A small independent brewery that's been on our radar for a while. Just a note that they do not serve any solid food. Very fun colorful retro themed decor only enhances their cool little space. And if you love the dark stuff, their menu is sure to please. So many different stouts to choose from. I had Madam X, the coffee stout which was on nitro. It always makes it better imo. My companion had a flight of 5 stouts, all of which were smooth and tasty. Never heard of a white stout before and it reminded me of an ipa without the usual ipa pucker; very cool. The rum barrel aged unicorn imperial stout was amazing at 16% abv, but if you mix that with the barrel aged puppy chow imperial stout (which tastes like a cookie biscuit), you end up with a complex long finish drink that retains all the best stuff. The flavors don't clash but rather express themselves one layer at a time. A happy accident that we will definitely ask for next time. Give it a shot!

Can't say enough great things about this place! The beer is unique and amazing in flavor every time I try a new one. Eddie is the best! Come down try some homemade beer and enjoy the place there are tons of games and loads of fun.

Loved this place! Loved the circus theme! Great beer, fun atmosphere, & friendly people! The staff & local patrons were all very friendly & welcoming! We played a very entertaining game of bar bingo & had so much fun!

Ellyn H.

This place is pretty cool. The design of the brewery is great, think circus mixed with craft beer, can you go wrong? My favorite beer was the Madam X with coffee. All 5 of the beers we tried were flavorful, unique, and diverse. We rarely make it out to Lee's Summit, but I'm glad we chose to make the craft beer rounds today. Keep up the good work!

Russian Dancing Beer is my go to at Fringe, it's a Stout Russian Imperial with a 10.5 ABV. Every time you step into Fringe you feel like you've home. Communal seating plus 4/5 spots at the bar. My daughter is partial to the Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit beer, an original and local favorite. This is a great place to hook up with friends to start you night off or for an after dinner drink. Make sure to follow them on Instagram, they are one of the more active breweries with activities, tap takeovers and game nights. A must try! They also have wine.

Nice little gem tucked away. They brew their own beer and have many other beers on tap to enjoy. A few bar snack available and you can bring in or order food to be delivered.

Most of my orders have been curbside pickup since it's right around the corner from my house, and the process has always been quick and seamless. Let me tell you about the Great Salmon Caper Sandwich. A soft, pillowy brioche bun, flaky grilled salmon, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion, topped with a creamy, tangy aioli. It is quite literally one of the best salmon sandwiches I've ever had. When I say I'll never get sick of this sandwich, I mean it. It's a genuine 10/10 and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The Cluckers are also excellent and come with an absurd amount of food. My only complaint is that the chicken pieces can sometimes be so large that the chicken-to-breading ratio feels a little off. Other than that, they're fantastic. The breading is seasoned perfectly, the chicken is juicy, and the price is extremely affordable for the portion size. The homemade honey mustard is also some of the best I've ever had and is easily my favorite dipping sauce on the menu. Wally's is one of those places that never disappoints. Fast service, affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently great food make it an easy recommendation.

This is a fairly new brewery to the Lees Summit area. A small group of us stopped in Saturday…read moreevening as we were sampling beers in Lee Summit. It's a great facility with bar seating as well as ample table seating. One thing that was nice is that they offer mixed drinks in addition to a variety of their beers and others. This is not always the case at breweries and it's a welcome option for several in our group. As with most breweries food is not really an offering. We ordered pizza and had it delivered which worked just fine for the group. However, I will say that they do offer hotdogs from a hotdog roller but that was not on the list for anyone in our group. Overall, I really liked the layout of this establishment which makes it perfect for groups to be able to come in and have a beer and have some fun and laughter. If you and your friends are looking to put together a mini pub crawl Lees Summit has quite an offering and this would be the perfect spot to start your crawl.

When we arrived, there were only a few other patrons, so it really wasn't busy. There were three employees working behind the bar, and they appeared to be occupied with something, which was understandable. However, despite sitting at the bar for several minutes, not one of them acknowledged or greeted us at any point. I grabbed a couple of menus for my wife and me, and after looking them over for several minutes, we ultimately decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. Unfortunately, because of that experience, I can't comment on the quality of the food or drinks. If you're looking for a brewery with good food, good beer, and a welcoming atmosphere, I'd recommend checking out Diametric Brewing Co., which is right down the street, or Station 7 Tavern, a Martin City Brewing Company restaurant.

It was nice so we sat on the patio. The brunch menu is small but packs a nice variety. I ordered the tater tot bowl minus bacon add chicken tinga. It was delicious. The tots were crispy, soft scramble egg, avocado, and cheesy goodness. My companion ordered the belly burger. She said it was delicious ious too. For apps we ordered the hummus. It was good. On a previous visit, I ordered the spicy peanut noodle bowl with shrimp and the dynamite shrimp app. Yum!! Both were loaded with flavor. Forgot to take a pic. From 10-11:30 on weeekends, mimosas are $1.99. What a deal!! And of course I had to try all the flavors! Cran-orange is my fav. They have a great happy hour, daily specials, kids menu, vegetarian menu and some gf options. I will definitely be back to try the pancakes and Nashville chicken Sammy. Shout out to Mike the manager and Rey my server my making my dining experiece so very lovely. This casual spot is ideal for families with small children, couples, groups and celebrations.

Biscuits with gravy mixed with chili seasoning and brined onions to top it off? The food is something you'd definitely need to be drunk to enjoy. Service was excruciatingly slow. We had to wait 20 minutes after we received the tab to even pay so we could finally leave. Half the time our server was in the back nowhere to be found. Lots of employees chit chatting at the hosts' desk by the front door though. Ambiance is trendy. House music playing and whatnot. Cool place to try once, but not interested in returning.

This Macadoodles is more than just a liquor store, they often have tastings which has helped me expand my palate and allowed me to find different drinks I quite enjoy that I would not have tried on my own. I will say, Total Wine opening up nearby has been an issue with me now having more than just one choice in where to get what I am looking for. If Total Wine does not have what you are looking for or if you want a more personal touch while shopping, I would suggest you go here.
