Address: 1205 E 85th St, Kansas City, MO 64131
Blues, beer, and barbecue! What more could you ask for?

Don't judge by appearance – the barbecue spot is a diner's delight. Pork ribs, battered fries, baked...

Address: 300 Armour Rd, Kansas City, MO 64116
Swank black and cherry-toned decor and a marble-topped bar might seem out of place in a bar owned by a former Major League Baseball player, but the varied crowd the establishment attracts doesn't seem to mind.

A favorite with the UM-KC student body, this collegiate joint has the look and charm of a time-seasoned neighborhood hangout, which is pretty much what it is.
