This restaurant is INCREDIBLE. There is no substitute-- amazing cuisine, top-notch cocktails by some of the best in the city. And yes, check the men's room: Al Capone *really did* piss here. :-D
Do not miss this speakeasy. Multiple award winning cocktails and the best atmosphere; you'll feel like you're somewhere private, (and possibly illegal!) Text for a table, and DON'T BE LATE.
My favorite bar in Kansas City, hands down. Best spot to meet friends after work, or late at night. Jeremy and company are the friendliest, and best in the city. Don't miss this one!
An incredibly unpretentious wine bar in the Crossroads. The food is great, but everyone working there is better. Amazing happy hour, and a rare patio make this my fav spot for a glass.
The food here is incredible. The steak + frites should not be missed, nor the steak sandwich, (ask for pickled red onion, if available!)
Can feel a bit pretentious/hipster at times, but look past that-- they serve amazing coffee and have a bit of a bar, as well. Post up with your laptop after lunch and work through happy hour! :-D
While the easiest way to start a fight between folks from Kansas City is to ask their favorite barbecue, this my (and every President's) choice for BBQ in Kansas City.
A great spot for dinner or brunch in the Plaza area. Get a reservation for the weekend well in advance, or you're looking at a two hour wait.
Ask for Enrique! Friendliest restauranteur in Kansas City. Food is homemade, and the tequila selection is top notch. Great rooftop, too! This should be your spot for Cinco de Mayo!
Try some of the old favorites or the experiments, this beer hall is a great spot to catch up with friends.
Do *not* miss the Crown Rib, but, honestly: you can't go wrong with any of the food here.
