Birdies Pub & Grill

Been going to Birdies for over 20years.  If nothing, they have been unbelievably consistent despite ownership changes.  This really is "The neighborhood bar". The food is better than any other bar food I have had anywhere in KC.  The drink pours are better than most other places, not your typical 1 or 1.5 Oz pours.  If you want a casual atmosphere and better than average food, this is the place.  As for the reviews talking about poor service, there is some truth to that in that over the years, they have had occasional bouts of new servers who didn't do a good job.  I don't know of any business that doesn't.  99 times out of 100 though, we have found the wait and bar staff to be attentive, friendly, and on top of their game.  We will be going for another 20 years.

My hubby and I stopped in for a drink and an appetizer. We spent 10 minutes in the place and were completely ignored. One waitress was walking around apparently unaware of us. It was like we were invisible. My hubby walked up to the bar and stood there for awhile. Finally the barmaid came down and took our drink order and said the waitress would be over to our table to take our food order. The barmaid went down to the other end of the bar and started talking and joking around with other patrons leaving my hubby standing there. We got fed up and left without anyone even caring. NEVER GOING BACK!! Rudest people ever!

Just spent 3 hours at Birdies at a Birthday party in their back event space.  Great fun, very attentive servers, good bar food and a great selection of beverages.  Had fun watching sports on the many televisions, playing pool and darts. The place isn't much to look at but perfect for a local neighborhood establishment.
