Howl At The Moon

Pretty fun for a ladies night out.  Cover charges ($10!) starts at 7pm, so either get there early before the band starts at 8pm or get a buy 1, get 1 coupon from the visit kc website.  It's pretty good time with live music you can request from the musicians, who are all talented and you always have fun watching the crowd dance on stage.  There is typically a really intoxicated guy in a cowboy hat or a gal in way too high heel just having a ball dancing to YMCA or competing for a free drink in a dance-off.

The drinks are pricey, but when you consider you are a getting a live musical act, it's not too bad.  The huge bucket drinks (~$30) can be dangerous though because they are delicious, go down easily and when shared among a group of friends, really add to the fun environment.  

There is always at least one birthday or bachelorette party taking place as well.  It's fun for a change in the ladies' night routine.  It does get really crowded fairly early in the evening so if you want a table, plan on getting there by 10.

If its basketball season, don't go here unless your are a Kansas fan. Went here and sat at the bar to watch the Kansas game.  Had a great bar tender. Very friendly! After that game, Kansas State was playing.  The tv screen above the stage was raised so the dueling pianos could start.  The band was wearing Kansas shirts and the bar didn't show the next game.  MANY sports fans were in the establishment and most left to find other venues to partake of food, beverages and basketball. Will never go back!

Touristy, the lady singing seemed to be tone deaf on Tuesday night, but the waitstaff was friendly. I don't make it to Kansas City that often anymore, but this place is worth sitting down and having a drink in.
