Wow! Came for the pub pass all the way from Olathe, but now can't wait to find an excuse to return. Llywelyn's has so much to offer. A deep, diverse menu that builds off of just traditional Irish food, a large selection of beers including 2 delicious house ales, weekly events like trivia and karaoke, frequent live music, and more. Our server, Sydney, was fantastic. We ordered the corned beef empanadas as an appetizer - delicious. My feedback on those would be that for $12, it should include 4. The shepherds pie was also fantastic. 5/5 stars. read more

Saturday Aug 8 Took a long time to get waited on. Had to flag down a server. The food was good but slow to arrive. we had to wait for our check then hunt our server down to pay. To sum it up the service was terrible. Should not take 2 hrs to have lunch after peak hours. read more

This was our 2nd timing coming here. First time we only got drinks so needed a full experience. Both times we had fantastic service! We went for Trivia and had a blast! Again service was top tier. Our sever was very attentive and friendly. Burger was cooked very well and was fresh and juicy. Bun was fresh and toasted. All together was delicious and I'm looking forward in going back. Fries you could select multiple options. We had the pub fries and they were crispy and delicious. Beer selection is honestly probably the best in Lees Summit! They had a 4 hands on tap and it was fresh and delicious. Atmosphere was typical Irish bar and it was perfect. Bar is huge with 2 bar rooms and huge patio. Plenty of space for trivia too. We will definitely be going back! read more

Cindy was our server and incredible. The food was a delightful surprise. Beat shepherds pie I have had I the KC area. Will be back again. Decent vibes too. read more

Always love the drinks and the atmosphere here. Tried the food for the first time and it was decent at best.

Just stopped in for a beer using our pub pass this time. The bartender was friendly and didn't treat us any differently because of it. I have been here once before for lunch, and I remember liking my sandwich. They have a large beer selection with some of their own taps. We had a their anniversary lager I believe. A nice place with tons of seating, and what looked like a few events. read more

We love Llywelyn's Pub! The food is always good and I find myself craving the grilled buffalo chicken flatbread often. Service is always attentive and friendly. The ambiance can vary from super busy on the weekend or St. Paddy's Day to more chill during the week - but it's always a good time. We especially love when the patio is open. It's rare in KC to have a bar with three separate bar areas (when the patio is open) so it's a fun change. This is one of our go-to spots and will continue to be! read more

Llewelyn isn't a girl I'd marry or commit to, but I'd take her on a few dates for sure. And I have, I've tried out this traditional Irish pub located in downtown Lee's Summit a few times. However, it's interesting to note it's never somewhere I sought out on purpose, I just always sort of end up there. Honestly, it's not my cuisine of choice, and I don't like Guinness much, but they have a good alternative selection of local craft beers- including a special exclusive brew from KC Bier Company (my memory could be off but I do know it was something that was local to kcmo and brewed solely for Llewelyn's. The drinks are where this pub tends to shine, and there's nothing wrong with that. The traditional appetizers aren't anything I'd order again except for the housemade chips, which are very thinly sliced and salty, but they're also a side you can add to the sandwiches. If you order them, make sure you order the side of cheese to dip and a side of horsersdish, if that fancies you. But, you can skip them. The fried pickles and the pub pretzels are quintessential bar appetizers that are executed okay, and if it's what you're craving, go ahead and order them, but don't expect to be impressed. Now, the sandwiches are pretty solid here. That is if you're not afraid to get a little bit messy because a lot of them, especially their take on an Irish Dip, are bound to fall apart and get your hands a little greasy. My tip is to make a trip during happy hour because my favorite thing on the menu is only available then. And that is the mini corned beef sliders served with a tangy (but not too spicy) giardiniera- if you ask nicely. These are nice little snack or light meal although, they could use some more melted cheese or horseradish because they're still a tad dry. Let's face it, Llewelyn could use a bit of a modern makeover, but, I guess what Irish pub do you know that isn't stuck in the past...and beyond dark inside? She fits the stereotype completely, but does that make her a good fit for you? That's what you have to ask yourself before you take Llewelyn out for a date yourself. read more

Great service, amazing food, & excellent entertainment the had deals every week the adult grilled cheese add bacon is superb

I will preface by saying that I had asked for a custom order, as the fish sandwich was not on the menu. I asked if instead of fish and chips, I could have a fish sandwich. The cook delivered 1,000% Llywelyn's Pub in Lee's Summit, Missouri, truly shines with its delectable cod fish sandwich. From the moment I took my first bite, I was transported to culinary bliss. The cod, perfectly flaky and tender, was enveloped in a light, crispy batter that added just the right amount of crunch. Every component of the sandwich, from the fresh lettuce to the tangy tartar sauce, harmonized beautifully to create a symphony of flavors. Paired with a side of golden fries, this dish is a true testament to Llywelyn's commitment to quality and excellence in pub fare. Whether you're a seafood aficionado or just looking for a satisfying meal, the cod fish sandwich at Llywelyn's Pub is sure to leave you craving more. The restaurant was alive for St. Patty's day with good music and excellent service! P.S. shepherd's pie was amazing. read more

i haven't been here in so long had to order the ruben sandwich and i tell you what it was so good ! love this place ! never disappointed!

came down here during downtown days! service was amazing and we were immediately helped at the outdoor bar, it started absolutely pouring and staff was quick to wipe off all tables and chairs once it stopped raining. the food was amazing as usual drinks were cheap and overall we only paid $58 for 3 alcoholic beverages, two entrees and a soda. we will be back again we absolutely love it here! read more

My Boyfrend and I were doing a staycation and decided to check out Llywelyn's one of the nights. We were greeted welcomingly when we walked in and seated right away despite them being quite busy. Our waitress was great, she was there enough for us to enjoy but not feel pressure. BF had a grilled chicken sandwich and skinny fries. He liked the fries and said they were cooked perfect but the chicken while having a nice char was chewy and over cooked. I had the adult grilled Cheese with sweet potato fries. I felt the sandwich could have used a little more toasting but the cheese was melted all the way. It was the cheesiest and thick and the side of tomato basil stuff was perfect. The sweet potato fries were also great, not too crispy but just perfect. The space we were in was great, as the booth was comfortable, high sided so we felt it was more us, and the space was not overcrowded with people. We will be back as the BF wants to try some other food. read more

Vegan options include a modified salad or the impossible patty. The pub burger is recommended as a local favorite! read more

This is my favorite bar and lunch spot. Always take great care of me and my dad. Good food good drinks and great staff.

Stopped in for a drink to celebrate my granddaughter's 21st birthday. Great selection of whiskey's. Adequate bar food menu.

The food was not that good , when u eat late, with only five minutes to order , before the kitchen closed, the place was like an Irish pub, the server was friendly. The ambiance was nice , it was a little noisy, but there was plenty of places to sit . They have sports on the tv s , a game room-in the back, the location is in the downtown area . read more

Nice outdoor patio. Great to hang out with friend. Full bar outside. Tonight we just happens to pop on and saw a band playing. Love the lite glowing heart. We just had a couple of drinks before heading to another place. Service was good at the bar. read more

Llywelyn's Pub is a great spot to watch any big sports matches. I watched the playoffs for the Super Bowl here in 2023, and the crowd was so fun and lively. That experience alone holds a special place in my heart. The food is consistent, and you get what you pay for. I enjoyed the experience here, and the service was great! read more

Owner / GM - defending the poor effort of dip at the establishment isn't a great look for you seeing it's a review, and my thoughts.. it's simply feedback based on my at least 6-8 visits you your establishment. Go hit the road of Lees Summit and you'll hear similar feedback about unfortunate below average experiences. Do I hate Llewelyn's because of it? No. Do I want the food experience to be better? Definitely. Focus on making a positive change instead of arguing with customers about their feedback. read more

Dropped by with some friends to this establishment for the very first time last night. It was almost impossible to get service despite bar staff chatting it up behind the bar. We were rudely told that we have to order from a server. Once we finally saw a server after sitting at a table for 10-15 minutes, she told us that we have to order from the bar. We finally got an order in from the only bartender who appeared to be doing any actual work. Drinks were ok but not worth the hassle. Will not be back and do not recommend. read more

We stopped in for Lunch on Mother's Day. They were not busy at all. We ordered the Welsh Rarebit for an app and it served almost cool, but thankfully the bacon was crispy this time. We had to ask for silverware, napkins and appetizer plates. The little one and I split the adult grilled cheese with bacon and fries. The sandwich was large (enough for sharing) and very, very tasty. We had empty drinks sever times and had to ask for refills. I want to be able to give this place more than 3 stars, but the service needs to step up their game. read more

We sat out on the patio on two different occasions. The first occasion the server dropped off the menus and then went and chatted with the bartender for 15 minutes. She completely forgot about us. So I walked up and got her and we finally got our order. She was bland and unfriendly. She was cold and mediocre. We just shrugged it off. These things happen. Eventually, we decided we'd give it another try. Again, patio. Our server seemed new. She didn't really greet us. Just dropped off menus and walked away. Ok.... She eventually came back for our order. I ordered the mac and cheese add bacon and chicken. My husband ordered the club sandwich. Food got dropped off. There was no chicken on the Mac and cheese. Oh well. I started to eat it anyway. 10 minutes later busboy comes out with a plate of dried cold chicken. I dump it on top of the Mac n cheese. I mentioned it to the waitress and she kind of laughed and said, "yeah, the cook forgot your chicken". It was cold and leathery. Lame. I kept trying to eat it but the Mac n cheese was pasty and salty. I wanted gooey, cheesy mac n cheese. This wasn't good. I finally just told my husband, "this is just not worth the $20. When the waitress stopped by to ask how everything was I told her "this mac and cheese is just not good. I really don't want it. Can we please take it off of the ticket?". She looked upset and unsure. "I guess...I'll have to ask a manager". Again, she may be new. Anyways, she dropped off the ticket and it was removed. She gave us zero interaction. I used to be a server. If anything like this ever happened I would say "I'm really sorry that the food didn't turn out how you liked it, is there anything I can do to help?" Or something of that nature. But she didn't apologize, she didn't say "we took it off for you." Nothing. She just dropped off the ticket with a very bland attitude. Overall the food was lame, service was slow and lame. Two strikes and you're out. Will not be going again. read more

This is my first time trying this location while in town. Lees summit downtown is really cute, and this looks like a nice option where you can enjoy live bands outdoors on the weekend, or a quieter environment at booths/tables inside. When we walked in, they had lots of good deals for local and major breweries, notably boulevard ($5/selter, etc.). Booths were comfortable and service was great, our drinks were always full and our service consistently checked in to make sure that everything was OK. Definitely enjoyed and would try this place again. read more

COVID-19 Update: Finally went back to see how Llywelyn's has survived the lockdowns and was very pleased with the results. Llywelyn's has been going through the same trials that others in the industry have had to battle. From all appearances the trend continues of fewer walk in diners and increased carryout / delivery. With the kitchen being run over with demand, wait staff has been reduced due to social distancing and lower demand.That said, while a bit slower, the quality and taste of their food much improved over my last visit. In fact they are now back on our go-to list! COVID-19 Considerations: Social Distancing is enforced, Masks required for staff and customers when not seated, Gloves are required for selected staff as appropriate, Dine in seating is available as is Carry Out, Curbside, and Delivery. Seating has been limited and Hand Sanitizer is available. read more

Almost Blown Away! I have been to Llywelyn's many times. But never this one. So a brand new experience for me over in these far reaches of Lee's Summit. If you have read my reviews before then you know I am all about the Irish Pub. As well as the Irish Pub food. And of course the drinks... oh those wonderful Irish drinks... Coffees, dark beers, whiskeys,... oops sidetracked! Anyway, this is another great representation. The dark wooden furniture and comfortable bar/pub atmosphere. The great pub fare that you expect. Is it authentic? Well no... it is Americanized like we do with everything else. But, you will find the Shepherds pies, fish, and chips, bangers and mash, etc... you will even find the Pub Curry there. Which is worth a shot. I stuck with Bangers and Mash as I was really feeling British at the time. (Don't ask) Our waiter was fun. And was happy to have him there taking care of us. The bartender was attentive, but not overly so. And makes a great Rye old fashioned. Pictured! I know what you're thinking... Rob! All of this above means it is a fine establishment to eat and drink at it... but you said you were almost blown away! Lemmey splane! The date was great... and then a tornado came through and we had to hide in the hallway! My date was visiting from Cape Town and was more than a little nervous. But, a good time was had by all... and no I was not whisked away by a tornado... yet. Hey all, Thanks for reading, and keep drinkin'! read more

We frequently stop for happy hour and if there is live music occasionally. The service is top notch no matter when you go. Today I went for lunch and it did not disappoint. A fantastic lunch combo of a choice of salad, a to die for pretzel and a cup of soup. I had white chicken chili and hubs had the beef barley. Undeniably 5 star flavor! read more

I went to Llywelyn's for lunch this week. It's a nice Irish style, pub fare, type of establishment in downtown Lee's Summit. I was determined to try the reuben, but having a weakness for queso (or basically any kind of melted cheese), I also opted for one pretzel stick with cheese sauce - because it was the right thing to do. The service was friendly and more than accommodating for a bartender who was serving the patrons at the bar and also working the floor. However, this seems to be a bit of a pattern at lunchtime with restaurants in downtown Lee's Summit. The area always seems to be busy enough that one server doesn't make sense, but I won't pretend to be a staffing expert so we'll move on. Back to my pretzel. It was soft, salty and crunchy in all the right places, with a light brush of garlic butter. The cheese sauce had a nice flavor too. It was a little gritty, but not enough to ruin the pre-meal snack. It was a mistake to order only one. The reuben came and was also good, it just didn't wow me. Fresh, soft rye bread with a generous helping of corned beef, kraut and thousand island dressing made for a respectable sandwich. I selected macaroni and cheese instead of fries, mostly because I'm a child, but also because I like cheese. We covered this already, but anyway it was a solid mac and cheese side dish with a delicious, creamy Gouda flavor. I ate every bite! I'm not ready to break out the bagpipes and dance the jig, but for my first visit, Llywelyn's, offered up a pretty decent lunch to make Irish eyes, or any eyes, smile. read more

They have a sign that says you can't use a card if your bill is under $10. Well one beer didn't meet that requirement so used the only cash I had. Waitress wasn't happy with her tip and decided to follow us out the door and tell us how terrible we are for not leaving her a big enough tip. Figure out your signage. Could have asked what she could have done better and would have explained the situation and there could have been a better solution. But no just wanted to call us terrible people. read more
