One of the best places for live music in Kansas City, and the food is not shabby either. The calendar is filled with local and national bands, and the capacity can't be more than 100 so its an intimate view and listen.
Very nice craft beer selection, and friendly staff, too. Finally, the owners often host fundraiser events with bands for kids (in the afternoon on Saturdays, for example) and have one monthly Friday evening kids show, too. Very nice for parents of young ones.
Easy, lighted parking. I guess a small criticism is the men's bathroom is kind of run down, but hey, its a dive bar, right?
