Really bad service. There were 2 bartenders there and when I asked each of them separately if they knew how to make a specific drink they said "no" and immediately turned their cheek at me and helped 2-8 others, as if because they couldn't make my drink I did not want anything at all. Service was not open to drinks that were not self explanatory. The girl working was too distracted to listen, and her help the dirty haired bearded man was stoned, and put his buddies before other customers. I didn't expect much drink sophistication from a lee's summit dive bar, but I did expect basic customer service. They put the Scummit in Lee's Scummit.
Review Source:As an update - nothing much has changed. A return visit garnered very little difference from my original trip, so I stick to my two stars and say that, with all the decent bars in downtown LS, this one will not be a stop on my tour.
The service is still below what even a dive bar normally puts out. The drinks are still weak, and the prices are still over what they should be for (1) a dive bar, and (2) the amount of liquor they put in their drinks (I would say a thimble's worth, but that might be pushing it).
I would rehash my original review word for word, but since it will be sitting immediately below this one, I recommend just taking a look at that one from 9 months ago and realizing that nothing has changed. And the BBQ is still overrated (but yes, that's a different establishment technically).
This place was very interesting. Barbecue past midnight...Iove it.
DO Drop is a total Dive bar in all sense of the word. I wouldn't be surprised if a roach crawled beside me, but then again that's why it's cool right? The bar has been there since the 60's, which in my opinion is pretty impressive considering so many bars come and go over the years.
Since this place is a total beer place, my friends dared me to order a margarita. However, I survived and it was not bad at all. We also saw some fighting, which always adds to an epic night, although this was a tame fight I can see how a fight at Do Drop could get ugly, it just has that (grab a chair and smash it at someone vibe).
Overall it was an OK place, not amazing, but not the worst.
Despite the cutesy name and the 5 star ratings from their 4 regulars, this place is about the worst example of what could be a really cool dive bar... if it was not owned by a crackpot with a serious attitude problem. Looking like she smokes crack/meth/other and sporting a hair trigger attitude, the woman who claims to own the bar will throw you out for looking at her the wrong way. Some idiot can start throwing a fit in the bar stool next to you and then you will be thrown out for guilt by association, as is precisely what happened to me.
I just read an article about the ownership bitching and moaning about how the economy has been killing their business, but they think nothing of throwing out paying customers over the slightest provocation. I guess I am really pissed off at being thrown out of a dump like this by someone who looks like she should be working the alley behind the bar as opposed to working inside it. I am betting that soon this 3rd generation (reference to family ownership) chick tool will succeed in running the business right into the ground, which is right where it deserves to be.
Love this place. Â
Lived in Lee's Summit for well over a year, walking my dog past the darned place two times a day, every day, before I worked up the nerve to go in (uh, sans dog...although I swear I've seen a guy go in there with a dog before, I swear it.). Â It just screams "local neighborhood tavern you need to be a regular to venture into." Â It actually took the Emerald Isle Pub Crawl in downtown LS before I braved it and entered. Â It was my favorite stop of the day (minus, of course, the VFW. Â The VFW rocks!).
Non-fancy. Â Non-pretentious. Â Cheap beer. Â Pool Table. Â Piano. Â All fine by me. Â No BS and framed shadowboxes of arrowheads, non-glamorous regulars? Â This is my kind of place. Â They appeared to be in the process of building a BBQ smoker, uh, right next to the bar. Â That's cool.
My favorite bar in Lee's Summit, hands down. Â Always a relaxed time where you can just go and hang with your friends. Â You will always run across regulars here, who are just friendly as can be. Â The bartenders are wonderful, cool people to talk to. Â There is only one pool table in here, so it's not always going to be open. Â But, with the board games, good drinks, and friendly crowd, you will always have a great time. Â It feels like a real neighborhood bar.
Review Source:This is in response to Heather K. Â First off calling it a dive I would consider a compliment for the Do Drop. Â Its so much better than the cookie cut bars that all the worthless wanna be peeps hang out in. Â Pretty much everyone who goes there becomes a regular because of its feel. Â Thats how we started going there. Â We did our own pubcrawl 2 weekends in a row in DT Lees Summit so we could see which bar we liked best. Â Both times the only bar we went back to was the Do Drop. Â You dont ever see a fight because it is so laid back. Â If you want to be in a game of pool put your money on the table. Â Same thing with the jukebox. Â They also have almost every board game available. Â It also sounds like you were to cheap to get a better beer. Â Real, honest, and non wanna be people hang here so maybe thats why its not for you. Â Its as close to a family /cheers bar as your gonna get.
Review Source:I've been to all the bars in downtown Lee's Summit and this is my favorite of the bunch. Â Unlike some of the others it doesn't have a manufactured, plastic feel. Â Nor is it pretentious. Â It's just honest, real people hanging out and trying to have a good time. Â
The arrowhead collection is pretty cool.  I also enjoy seeing pianos in bars.  (Does it get any use?)  Drinks are cheap.   As previously stated there's  a pool table, juke box, and a handful of TVs.  This is a great place to unwind.
Well, this is a bit in contrast to the first review. Â I was in town with a relative, and we didn't know anywhere in Lee's Summit to 'kick it', and we stopped by the local "The Peanut", and realized that that place was sort of cookie-cutter, and we were looking for somthing more eclectic, to use a big word. Â (The Peanut downtown is much less cookie-cutter, at least it was a few years ago. Â When in Lee's Summit/Rome...)
Anyhow, so we walked down the street (literally, 3rd Street, across the railroad tracks), and found this hole-in-the wall place. Â Interesting. Â We walked in, and the first thing I felt was the lack of any pretense, and the phase 'it is what it is' comes to mind. Â There was nothing special here, save maybe the pool table. Â Later on we would learn about the arrowhead collection, but that's later. Â We sat down, and it was nice. Â
Now maybe you're looking for the hootin' good time with the boys and girls and you want to live up the life as the boy/girl-done good in the high life of Lee's Summit, then good on you. Â This might not be the place. Â There's not a lot to brag about. Â The bartender serves drinks. Â The folks around the bar drink and talk. Â The people at the pool table play pool. Â It is what it was.
Actually, I forgot the story about the arrowheads; something about the prior owner had a huge collection, but then there was a fire, and they all got soot on them, and they cleaned them up pretty good. Â There is a framed set or two on the wall above the regular lineup of liquor bottles. Â Anyhow, it's a conversation started, I guess.
So that's my story.  It sort of reminded me of a place called "Swallow's Inn" (<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/swallows-inn-san-juan-capistrano">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>) and I guess with these sorts of places, you either love it or hate it.  I'll be a lover for now.
Do Drop Inn. Wait... what? They put this under "Nightlife"? I don't think I would call it that. This is such a dive, you feel like you need a hard hat just to walk in. Because it feels like it's going to cave in on you. The bar is crap. I've actually been wounded on it. The service is sketchy, depending on the bartender and the mood of that bartender. It's small with a crappy pool table that's never open. They proudly serve one of the worst beers I have EVER tasted (but it's dirt dirt cheap). Unfortunately, my attempts to wipe all traces of drinking this beer out of my waking memory have been successful, so I can't remember the name. Just ask them for their cheapest beer on tap. If you're curious. No food served here. There staple is PBR and you can apparently get it to go. I've actually had alot of fun there, but only because I was friendly with several regulars. If that had not been the case, I wouldn't have spent more than 10 minutes in the place. You can expect brawls over the jukebox, rights to the pool table, and lovers quarrels. If you know someone who goes regularly, you may want to tag along because it might be an interesting night.
