Also came here on a Saturday night in October, with a packed house, an underground haunted speakeasy and merriment in the air, also aided by some delicious in house brews. I'll come back anytime, particularly for the excellent bock. It doesn't hurt that the servers are super friendly, seating is plentiful (maybe not the most comfortable chairs) and there are pinball machines.

I didn't even know this existed! It is an actual brewery on Independence Square. Their menu (mostly…read moredifferent beers and a few drinks) is small. But I loved the friendly service and the space itself. It's wonderful for a band-which was why I was there. There's a hallway of art work, with an art studio. Down the hall from there is a window with the adjacent restaurant selling a large variety of flat breads. Again, more artwork. Then you see the barrels and the quaintly decorated bathroom doors. Really, it's worth it to see. I really like 3 Trails Brewery and will return.

Fun dive bar close to Kauffman Stadium. I came in after a Royals game for a quick bite to eat and…read morewas welcomed right away. Lots of folks here tonight for a Monday. Score has pool tables and darts which seemed popular. They also had karaoke going on which always seems to draw a crowd. The kitchen was open late and I was starving so I ordered a steak salad, definitely recommend as it was cooked to order with a nice amount steak on top. Prices were on par with sports bar prices. The bartender was very friendly and encouraged me to go up and sing. After some liquid courage I got up the nerve to sing a sing. The karaoke host was cool and welcoming too. Score was a great score indeed!

It's good food period! Erin's has the best mozzarella sticks anywhere that I've tried (and believe me, I've had a lot of fried cheese). Their Taco Thursdays are also a regular craving I have. Service is always friendly and fast, even when they're busy. Shoutout to Carrie and Kirby - they're rockstars! Personal opinion, I do think the overuse of AI in their recent advertisements is a bit much. I liked the unedited pics of their real food they used to post better than the new cartoonish pics. But just my opinion - doesn't change the fact that Erin's is one of the best spots around! A must try!

If you're looking for a good hometown, feel in a bar, this is the place. The prices are very reasonable as well.

All rise for the honorably hungry! Presenting this review in true courtroom drama fashion…read more ​The Prosecution's Complaint: Plaintiff brings to the court's attention: the dark entrance staircase. Transitioning straight from the blistering sun into the dim foyer is a hazard--if you pay attention like a distracted squirrel, you will stumble downward toward your destination. Proceed with caution. ​The Defense Steps In: Once you survive the descent, the Defense presents a compelling case. The interior is sleek, mercifully air-conditioned, and remarkably clean despite the moody lighting. Our party was seated almost immediately, and our server was a delight. ​Exhibit A: The Rum Root Beer Float The Defense recommended this beverage, and while it tasted fantastic, the Prosecution requests exploratory evidence as to whether any actual rum was present. Multiple eyewitnesses at the table cross-examined their own floats and reached the exact same conclusion: zero detectable alcohol. ​Exhibit B: The Club Sandwich with Fries This main course will win over any jury. Perfectly toasted bread points loaded with roast beef, ham bacon, and a bacon jam that delivers a total flavor bomb. Absolute slam-dunk. ​Final Verdict: Aside from one co-counsel physically banging their head during the proceedings, the court dismisses all charges. I render my final ruling: a great place with solid food. Case closed!

I have lived in the area my entire life but never knew about this historic restaurant. The quirky…read morething is that it's a basement hide-away. No wonder I never knew about it. It's rather hidden on the square, just across the historic courthouse. The food was okay, nothing spectacular, but typical fan fare food: burgers, sandwiches and dinner staples like fried chicken.

You know what's really good about this place? Their signature 'cup-sized' cocktails, like their…read morehouse margarita, the 'Sinner's Punch' (a house specialty), or maybe even their Long Islands. Plus, the happy hour prices are attractive and the 'portion sizes' for the drinks are more than ample. You know what else is good? The pricing. Happy hour prices aside, Saints-Independence is offering a price point that is a bit below market for their fare, and in these times, that alone can draw you in. But, ah, there's the rub. The food is pretty average, so it's a good thing that you likely aren't going to squabble over the bill. Bar & grille food isn't usually supposed to blow your hair back, but Saints has a lot of fried options that seem under-seasoned and slow to be delivered, sooo not exactly prime. The servers are friendly, but if they have to cover the patio and the bar/dining room, then it's not a surprise that things move slowly. It's a great spot to meet, given that it's just off of I-70, but join for a drink & maybe an appetizer, and my guess is that you'll come to the same conclusion: it's just...OK.

Waaaay back when I was a youth this was called Neiner's and was THE place for all the metalheads to…read morego hang out. At some point it became Nick's, and then more recently was known as The Pig. It still catered to the heavy metal crowd throughout that time. Now it's called Damage Control. The crowds are more mellow than in the past, and they are diversifying the acts to cover all facets of rock instead of just metal. (There's even an Acoustic Night.) The bar is very old and run down. Some might even describe it as crappy. But it has potential. The bartenders were all very nice and friendly. In addition to the music, there's pool and darts. Monday night is dart league night, the bartender waffled on whether the bar is open to the general public that night or not. There's also a menu that is surprisingly interesting and diverse for a place like this. One appetizer that caught my eye was the Tube Screamers -- cheese sticks that are wrapped in ham before being breaded and fried. Basically, ham & cheese sandwiches in stick form. I was going to give this 2 stars because it was really run down and doesn't have near enough bathrooms for the potential crowd size, but since I wasn't here during a music event I'm giving it benefit of doubt.
