My first time at a true country line dancing bar…read more I was visiting Kansas for a work event and the local staff at the hotel I was staying in, highly recommended this place. What more can you ask for? Good affordable drinks, music, and good dancing! I wish I came earlier to learn some of the moves. But now I know what to expect when I come back here and bring my dancing boots.

Line dancing lessons started at 7:00pm and went on for about an hour and we learned four different dances. The instructor was so fun and easy to follow. I stayed for a while after the lessons and the ambiance was fun, energetic and it did get a bit crowded but it was nice to experience the line dancing scene in KC! Highly recommend and I hope to be back on the dance floor whenever I return!

The service here was hands down some of the best I've received in a while.

Definitely recommend in you're wanting to try this place out! Will be returning.

We (group of 4) went during a live performance and honestly, not sure if we will be back. The singer/music (when there wasn't a performance) was so loud we would need to come face to face to yell and be heard amongst friends, staff and etc. if you wanted to communicate with the whole group, forget it. We did arrive at 8:30 when it was a packed house. We were seated for 25 minutes and about to leave before someone came by to get drinks/apps. Around 9 PM, it slowed down a little bit where service slightly improved. (The improvement was it didn't take 30 mins for a waitress to be seen again.) However, that lasted until we tried to check out and the waitress disappeared for 15 mins with our CC, and we had to track her down at the bar and get it from her to leave. The food was great. Loved the flavors of the bruschetta and the softness of the pretzels. Great options and creativity for food. The drinks were disappointing. Ours were too strong with horrid flavors. Mine (drink was "Per My Last Email) tasted like a strong cough syrup, and it didn't have ice which eventually could of melted and watered down the cocktail making it drinkable. I took a few sips and left almost all of it. 2 out of 4 of us had decent drinks (cocktails were not the way to go.) Loved the vibe and the food, but left hoarse from yelling with a headache.

There's a small dance floor for anyone looking to dance. There is a bar in the front and one in the back - there's a sort of dress code here with more of a collared shirt vibe for patrons, but I also noticed staff doesn't adhere to this dress code which I found a bit weird. Drink prices aren't bad, but there is a $10 cover to enter which I feel like offsets the drink prices. Overall, a classy-ish joint that's great for someone looking for a more controlled (read: not sloppy) nightclub vibe.

The loss of a star is due to the fact that we sat in a space where we were continually experiencing the smell of a room air freshener. While we ate, I thought perhaps it was throughout the restaurant, but when I went to the ladies restroom, I realized that the strong oder was coming from within (our table was the closest to the hall leading to the restroom). If this has been our first experience at Sake Lounge, we probably wouldn't return-however we hope the management might address this, and if seated elsewhere, it would not be a problem.

Kids and I had a blast at BRKTHROUGH when we visited KC. Our group was me and my two sons (14,…read more12). At BRKTHROUGH, you compete in challenge rooms (there are 40 of them, although a couple were unavailable during our visit) - they last a minute or longer, and are categorized as Physical (requiring speed, agility, coordination, etc), Mental (brainpower, trivia, memory, and puzzle-solving), or Skill (precision, dexterity, patience). The descriptors above came from the BRKTHROUGH website, but I can confirm that they are descriptive of the challenges. The room type/difficulty is shown on a triangle, so they are often a combination of two items (for example, mostly physical with some skill-based components). Every room is scored based on your completion (or lack, thereof) out of 100 points. You can redo rooms as often as you like, keeping the highest score. Your team has an RFID wristband to enter the rooms. Your goal is to earn as many points as you can during the time period you paid for (we did 2 hours). Not only do you try to get your best score, there is a leaderboard to show how you are doing against the other teams in the building. You can earn a prize if you obtain a certain minimum score, or win against the other groups. Other than the boys arguing over strategies, we had a good time. Even with young kids, we were able to complete a lot of the rooms. There are plenty of rooms that could be completed by those with physical limitations, but obviously not all of them. We had a good time and the time flew by. There is also a bar and restaurant and a few games to play after your time is up. We had a blast and would definitely return again! , with live leaderboards tracking everyone in the building. You can read more about the activities or book your session on

The young lady was friendly but didn't much pay attention to new people showing up unless we got her attention. There weren't many in our group and we had slowly filtered in so we couldn't have overwhelmed her. Food was also slow to come out. Even when there was just a handful of people and only a couple had ordered food, it was slllooow. BUT it was good, and hot when it hit the table. Cocktail drinks weren't great either, so most of us stuck with beer. This pool hall is a members only place so I won't be back as I don't play. Despite not having the best experience it was nice to see the place one last time.

I've heard about this place, but I avoided it until recently, opting for either Omaha Cigar or Safari, both great Omaha establishments. I was content to smoke on my back patio by myself, but a good friend asked me to join him and I agreed. First off, it's a cool building with a lot of history. It used to be a garage, probably built in the 1910's or 20's, so very rustic. The owners put a lot of thought into it, from the specially made leather chairs, some huge, some diminutive so you don't have to feel like you're in one of those chairs at Silver Dollar City that everybody gets their picture taken in, to the special glass, HVAC, Humidor, etc... you can tell this was a labor of love. Secondly, the service is excellent! From the tobacco experts that will guide you through the humidor to the people who work in the 2 attached establishments. There is a speakeasy next-door, just pick up the phone at the front door, say "Joe sent me" and you are allowed into one of the finest drinking establishments in the 5 county metro, replete with all of your favorite beers and craft cocktails that are out of this world! Then, you have the Bellows, an outdoor, intimate music venue that sports 2 firepits, a stage, heaters for those cold nights, and plenty of seating. I was lucky enough to find out about an event that they were having with Toscano Cigars, where for a paltry sum we were treated to the history of that company, a package of cigars, cutters, lighters, and some great Italian food. Then we watched the full length version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It was an event to remember. After my 3rd visit, I realized that this is a family. People from all walks of life are regulars and they're all friendly. I think that their motto should be "Where everybody knows your brand
