I've been to quite a few shows here and I like this venue. The interior is unique and I like the…read moreolder feel. It's pretty large, the lower level has both standing areas towards the front and seating in the back. The upper level is VIP. Sound is good throughout and you can typically see wherever you set up, unless some giant stands in front of you. The bar is decent sized and they tend to get everyone through quickly. Prices are about what you'd expect for a venue, maybe a tad lower. The bathrooms are moderately clean depending on the crowd size, age, and timing of the concert-it generally gets worse the later it gets. But that goes for any venue. Definitely check out a show here if you've never been.

True to my word I did not return to this architectural gem until last night (more than four years…read morelater). We came back to see the very same artist the young and still brilliant Marcus King. EVERYTHING about this visit was exceptional including the sound that had been the only concern previously. The venue is staffed by noticeably friendly folks who are great at hospitality and the concourses are modern and well appointed. I'm so glad to have given them another try and can't wait for my next visit!

It's a beautful open space with high ceiling, lots of exposed brick and a polished cement floor. I left a personal item at the event and they were very quick in responding to my inquiries so I could stop by and pick it up. I would love to attend another event here, whether it's a business event, wedding or party.

It is a nice venue. Big. It's outside and if you're under the roof it's nice. You can sit on the…read morelawn but it's not covered. Sound is amazing. Coming in was pretty good. Got there at 7:30PM and it started at 8PM. The lots we somewhat lettered and numbered. We were in Lot B Row 3. It showed B3 in a small sign on the ground but seems like they need ones poles that have the signs on them too so you can see them from far away. Leaving was horrific. Some people directing traffic. But a lot of people just pull out of their spot like right where the road is and it stops the flow. Once we were by the gate on Music Lane, it wasn't as bad and they block traffic on Horizon Pkwy and people leaving venue use all the lanes to go left or right back onto Horizon Plwy. but goodness they need to have better flow. It took like 30mins to get out. Everyone cuts others off and it's just hard. Idk if they can make more exits/entrances if that would help? Prices for drinks and food are ridiculous though. $26 for some cocktail! $12 for bottomless popcorn. Just eat before you go! Maybe bring snacks and leave them in the car for when you go back.

Honestly love this new venue. Not a bad seat in the place, lawn seating was perfectly spacious,…read moredrinks were good albeit pricey, sound system was muchhh better than azura (cricket amphitheater). I was very nervous about parking having read the reviews but it was pretty painless getting in and out. We arrived maybe 30 minutes before the show started. I've dealt with worse trying to get in and out of arrowhead, so maybe they worked out some kinks/ or it's just dependent on the concert? Overall, the venue is beautiful and a great space for outdoor concerts and I'm excited to catch more live shows there.

Our daughter's wedding reception was at the Oliver Building on a gorgeous October evening. I do…read morenot have the words to express how amazing this venue is from start to finish! We looked at over a dozen venues in the Kansas City area and just knew from the moment we walked in that this was THE space. It is truly a Kansas City gem with wood flooring, high beams with Edison bulbs, brick walls, and beautiful staircases. A huge standout for us was they only have one event per weekend, so we had the space from Friday (when we moved all of our necessities in) to 4:00 on Sunday ( when we moved back out). The wedding party truly enjoyed preparing with hair, make-up, and wardrobe on the gorgeous third floor, the cocktail hour was on the first level, and dinner and dance were on the second level. Everything was perfect. When you book the Oliver, you get the peace of mind of the owner Steve and the event coordinator Caitlin. We met with Caitlin on multiple occasions and she was amazing. They have a great bartending staff, parking attendants, and security guards, and a great working rapport with many local vendors. If I had to touch on any drawbacks, it would just be the gravel parking lots, which can be a bit of a challenge with ladies in heels or elderly persons. We were a little concerned with it being haunted house season but this was not an issue at all. Overall, we could not be more thrilled with our experience and I would give it more stars if I could! An absolute ten out of ten!

This place is perfect for any kind of venue, parking is another story though. It's located in the…read moreWest Bottoms and it has that vintage look if you're looking something like that. I enjoyed the rustic, brick look. Had an event here and there was catering with food and bars. It's spacious enough for a large crowd. The third floor is much more spacious than the first floor. You can party, dance, hold a conference or whatnot.

Upstairs is a discovery room that I want to like so much but it's just so poorly run. It seems to me that there's not enough staff or funding maybe to keep everything organized and neat so a lot of it is disheveled or there's stuff missing. Worth a visit on a free day or with a pogo pass but I wouldn't pay for it.

Negative: I would say that the main floor really needs to add some more displays or exhibition pieces. I feel like there's a lot of space that could be better utilized. My grandkids weren't that excited about the main floor. The discovery room area primarily for children has some neat displays, but could have a little bit more interactive play areas instead of just viewing displays.

KC is unbelievably lucky to have The Midland--what a stunner of a venue! Seriously, it's the kind…read moreof place that makes other theaters look like basement rec rooms. The moment you walk in, you're hit with an atmosphere so unique, there's truly nothing else like it. A couple of weeks ago, we saw Paul Simon there and checked out the VIP bar--a classy touch. The bartenders were on point, pouring a solid selection that beats most arena slop by a country mile. Not only is The Midland an architectural icon, it's laid out with fan-friendly genius. Growing up in KC, I've parked my behind in just about every seat over the years, and I swear there isn't a bad one in the house--whether you're front-and-center or chilling in the balcony, you'll feel like you've scored the hookup. Grab tickets to a show at The Midland--you'll thank me later.

We have general admission tickets as we brought out 2 boys to their first concert here. It was the perfect first concert! There were plenty of bathrooms and bars throughout.

We had a great time for our daughter's high school graduation with about 100 people coming in and out. Our guests enjoyed the patio space with ample seating and fun games. The bathrooms are clean and spacious. We could get whatever we needed for tables, chairs, buffet tables, and we were very grateful for their tea/lemonade service. We could easily work with the owners for our needs in the days and weeks leading up the event.
