We knew we were in for a treat when we found this to be a neighborhood dive, surrounded by houses…read moreon all sides. We knew we were going to love this place when a neighbor came out to distract his pit bull as we walked by. And when we stepped in to head the bartender explaining to a couple of other customers how terrified she is of clowns, we somehow knew we were going to have more fun here than we'd had all day. It turned out that bartender's name was Becky, and she's 1/2 of the couple who owns the bar. The other half is her husband, Waylan, who showed up later at the end of our visit. "Having a name like Waylan is like having the biggest cock," she said. Or maybe it was B who said that, I don't remember and my notes aren't very clear. :) There is quite a collection of bras on the bar, a recent development. "A while back one of the customers just up and took her bra off, and said she wanted to hang it up. So we did. Then other ladies started doing it," Becky explained. "Now boxer shorts have even started to join the collection." We ended up spending out entire visit chatting with the bartender about their history with the bar. We really enjoyed our time here. In addition to the great personalities, this is a fun-looking bar all around and I'de love to visit again when it's busier. In fact, here's how good a time we had -- when we first arrived we noticed the Silver Strike machine and put a few dollars in it to play. But we never got around to actually doing so! :)

Not dried out, like a lot of smash burgers tend to be. My wife got the wings and said the were great. It's in a cool old brick building in downtown Smithville. Great all brick wall and exposed high ceilings and lots of TVs with sports, so I can see this being a great place to watch a Chiefs game!

My husband and I enjoy this little small town bar for the food as well as the drinks. We often will…read moreorder takeout more than we go in and sit down but both means of service have been great. The food is reasonably priced and very quick to come out of the kitchen. We have brought our out of town friends to this bar, and just enjoyed a night to ourselves here. We do wish they delivered, but it's worth getting out and picking up. Southside will continue to receive our business. P.S. we definitely recommend the cheese curds!

The map here on yelp is pretty accurate, but the GPS unit in our car had the location completely…read morewrong. It kept leading us to an empty building in downtown Gallatin. We found the bar on our own as we headed on south out of town. "Did this place used to be further north?" we asked the bartender. "Nope, it's been here as long as I can remember," she said. "Actually it used to be down on the square," chimed a customer sitting at a nearby table. "About 3 years ago I think it was." So if you try to get here via GPS, make sure its database is up-to-date. :) Anyway, I'm usually not a fan of bars located in manufactured buildings because, as a general rule, they rarely have any character. But this bar has a few things that make up for the bland building it's in. For instance, since it also serves as a diner, it opens at 6:00am so you can get your drink on early. :) Also, their beer coasters cut from carpet samples are pretty clever and are a good example of the little details I look for in local mom-and-pop dives.

I can't believe I never posted this review. My love for this place started with a ladies night and…read morethen grew into the best date night spot around. I have a stupid work schedule so weeknights are my nights out. I don't get nearly enough between kids schedules but when I do get out- this is definitely my place. Warm, cozy, quiet (until me and my girls get there of course). Service is always great and the food is to die for. The crabcakes are my absolute fave. But you can't go wrong with any of the food selection. My girls and I tried everything!

So listen up.. this place rocks. We initially were going to another place across the street until…read morewe walked in. Limited food menu but do not let that sway you because what they do offer is amazing. Highly recommend the pork belly deviled eggs and the highland beef sliders to get you going. Drinking wise, yes.. it's fire. They had a banana bread old fashion on special that was over the top awesome. Service is amazing. Come check it out.

The Traphouse is a hard place to find. You can circle around the entire block and not find it…read more The trick is to realize that it is not actually located on any street, it is instead located in the dead center of the block and hidden by trees and buildings on all sides. So when you see that gravel alleyway that looks the the driveway of a mobile home, that's where you need to turn in. Inside is a big open area with a square-shaped bar in the center. The walls are covered in hundreds of photos of the bar's loyal patrons. The bartender lamented to me about how the bar business is really hurting in Chillicothe because so many of the town's young people have been moving away. "We have really low overhead, though, so we'll be fine," she added. She's probably right. Most of the other bars in town have either recently closed or changed hands. But the Traphouse has been going strong for years. A big part of that is that of those that have survived, it's the most "real".
