The drinks are great, the ladies at the bar are super friendly and the environment is great but the dj doesn't know how to keep a crown dancing. It's Friday night and there is no one dancing because the flow of the music is terrible. Will be back just for drinks.

Married couple and entire wedding party here... Weird as shit!

I dont know what to say... We went to P&L... My first time going whilst living here for 4 months... I was disappointed. There were girls walking around in bikini tops and jeans shorts that had no business doing so. *As bigoted as it sounds... Its still true* The shirtless men were sculpted which made them more noticeable. There were boxes I wanted to do box-jumps on... But too slippery from all the spilled drinks by dancing fools. The drinks were waaay over priced, but the sexy bartender did hook up my birthday boys drank so that was nice. The girl at the coat check/cover charge box was rude. You know who you are, because you know you be rude... ALL. DAY. LONG. Then a wedding party of about 40-50 came in and stole the show. It was awesome to see a bride in her $8000 wedding gown (trust me... it was nice) saturate all that spilled alcohol. Not my place for an after wedding throwdown... But they were having fun. This was the only "dancing" place we went to that night after McFaddens, because we did not want to pay cover again for something just as terrible... The only reason this isnt 1 star is relativity to the rest of the joints there and the sexy bartender that took care of the birthday boy. Ive been to these kinds of dance/bars places before... And I did not expect this on the P&L.

Came to Kansas City over the recent holidays to visit some friends, and Beer Kitchen came as a…read morelocal recommended place. Good food, good vibes, good beer selection, I was sold. So we loaded up and showed up one day around Noon. Ambiance was really cool. It's in the middle of some sort of progressive looking shanty-esque suburb. The kind of place that does drag queen bingo. I was right at home. Inside was college sport bar, but with a nice, huge board on the wall of all their beer selection. It Was quite expansive. Service was top notch, too. Nice server took care of us, made sure our glasses were never empty. The food came out at a good clips, and we got an unexpected bonus of free little beignet-like donuts with some delicious dipping sauces. As for food, we started off with a jumbo order of the Truffle Parmesan Hand-Cut Fries for the table. We got to choose two from their extensive list of aioli dipping sauces. Fries were good. Dusted with the perfect amounts of truffle and parmesan. And the sauces were my oh my. I recommend paying the upcharge to just try them all. I mentioned the time earlier, because we had no idea we were stumbling upon their brunch menu. Even more options to choose from! I got the Crispy Waffle Smash Burger (smashed hertzog beef patties, fried egg, smoked bacon, merkt's cheddar, caramelized onion, maple aioli, crispy buttermilk waffle). This thing was really nice. Perfect waffle, not too small, not too big, and no oily or anything obtrusive. A nice bun option. Eggs and bacon sometime get lost against giant burger patties, but with these smash patties, the extra accoutrements really stand out and make this burger really stand out in my mind. I also for the try the Smokestack Burger (smoked burnt ends, smoked gouda, whiskey bbq glaze, pickle relish, chipotle aioli & crispy jalapeño straws). Uhhh, as you can read, this thing was loaded with goodness. Fatty burger, smokey burnt ends, sweet boozy glaze, acidic pickles, and texture from that jalapeno. This was the perfect burger. I insist you order this. Overall, my research did not reveal Beer Kitchen to me, locals recommendation did. Shows that you gotta use your street smarts instead of your book smarts sometimes. Best meal I had in Kansas City.

Pros: Ambiance was super nice. Part craft brewery, part…read moremodern Southern brunch joint. Very cozy and inviting. Service was super nice. We got brunch, but we didn't even know they served brunch, so that was a huge bonus. The food was out of this world delicious. And their beer selection was great, too. Far more than your typical selection of only IPAs. Cons: Not a single con. Tips: Come for brunch. Get one of their astounding burgers.

Order food from Mission Taco next door or bring it in from any of your favorite establishments. They even have a medium private event area you can reserve for minimal to no fee. It has two TVs, you can set up the area however you like, bring in your own food, and they will provide you with a server. It's awesome. My friend had a party there and my work hosted a happy hour there - both were great successes. And in nice weather they open up their garage door walls for an indoor/outdoor vibe. They have tons and tons of beers, along with a few couple wines and cocktails too. ITap is actually where I learned to like beer because the servers are extremely knowledgeable and allow you to taste different beers to figure out what you like. Plenty of parking between the street and the lot behind iTap (as long as there isn't a Grinders concert going on).

Very shady place! Beware! We went to ITap the other day and purchased one beer. Unfortunately,…read morewe accidentally left our card at the bar and it was sad that the bartender serving us or the restaurant itself took the opportunity to use our card and charge us multiple times spending a couple hundred dollars on our card. Highly recommend staying away from a place that is dishonest or employs dishonest people.

I really enjoyed my drink and I look forward to visiting again. It's nice they have a kitchen space available to order food. Jimmy B's currently resides there and their pizza is very good.

For being a smaller operation (with the original location in St. Joseph), they have a good variety of beers to choose from--my partner and I have very different tastes and we both got a couple of different beers! We went for a pre-dinner beer on a Saturday and the place was pretty crowded--and we found out that they were a sponsor of the KC Cauldron group (a club for Sporting KC), so I also love that they're active in our community! Thanks for being a friend, River Bluff! All this to day, I'll be looking forward to having a nice patio beer at River Bluff during the nice weather months, hopefully followed by a nice walk down the river walk just across the street!

I come here because it is convenient, always has been for me and now even more so because of the streetcar and because of the self serve beer wall. If that intimidates you don't fret because there is a full bar and some taps behind the bar the bartenders can serve you from. Sometimes I choose to do this because the beer wall can get pricey quickly but, it's a novel and fun concept that works for downtown. The food though I feel is overpriced, like why am I paying $15 for tots that are barely topped with toppings and really aren't even a sizable portion? Last time I was here to watch the Chiefs game I ordered the Rueben Tots expecting a fun pile of classic Rueben sandwich components on top of hot crispy greasy tots instead what I received was a small mound of stringy corned beef and a slice of melted Swiss cheese and a dismal drizzle of thousand island. I had to ask for more sauce on the side because it just wasn't enough for the amount of tots. If these would have been between $10-$12 maybe I would have let it slide and this review would have been different but for $15 I just wasn't too happy. Also, another note the menu online has absolutely no descriptions whatsoever so, if you're trying to place a pickup order good luck knowing what you're actually ordering. This could be an easy fix. The service is okay but sometimes it feels like you have to chase down the wait staff or just walk up to the bar to get another drink or ask for a menu. I'm sure happy hour is fine here but I haven't been for years so, I'm not sure if the prices have gone up for that too. Will I be back? Well yes but, I'll definitely order something different from the menu then the last time around. Maybe 4 sliders for $15 is a better way to go? Because I've also gotten the Rueben sandwich here before for $15 and I felt like it was sparse and the meat was lacking. I do believe they have a pretty good burger deal on Monday unless that has changed.
