Indoor smoking paradise! I've lived in smoke ban cities for so long that I forgot there are places that still allow smoking inside. Weeeeeiiird. I personally hate cigarettes but I think the ventilation system at the Mouse was ok enough that I didn't immediately break out into allergy panic. My clothes smelled like ashtray funk the next morning but I didn't really care because I had such a fun time. They have a full bar and lots o beers, average bar food (probably made by the fine folks at Sysco and deep-fried by a local burnout), and GREAT music. They are super nice to their bands and treat them well. The seating is spaced out around the bar, in tables, and booths, and it's not hard to find a spot if you want to be tucked away from everyone or if you want to be in the middle of the action. The place is pretty big and the restrooms are very clean. I don't often party in Blue Springs, but if there's a good band at the Mouse I'll definitely be back.
Review Source:Oh, trouser mouse-----
what a great name. What  a smokey, smokey place.  GREAT MUSIC.  music wins over smoke. I just had to out and take breathing breaks when the band took breaks.  (Levee Town....GREAT BAND ) Â
The service was hit and miss, but they were very busy. I cant hate on a barmaid/server who is trying to cater to 30 + people in her area, and some lone cowboy lookin redneck gets a little neglected. Â Such is life.
The smoke.....dANg. Â makes me reminiscent of an era I didnt live in, where every bar was so smoky that all of the women, even the real fugly ones, have a hazy allure to them. So there is that, at least.
Good place. Good music. Okay prices, okay service.
Personally the "Mouse" quickly became my watering hole and sound garden. Â The staff treats you like a regular person. Â No, they more than likely won't kiss your ass-because during a show they're usually packed and don't have time to stroke ego's. Â But the drinks are stiff (ask Chaz to make you a Bloody Mary) and they have a real nice selections of beers. Â Their French Dip sandwich is the best sandwich you can buy in Blue Springs and it competes with their Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. Â But the main reason I even started to go was the great bands they have stroll through their doors. Â From local favorites like Trampled Under Foot, Samantha Fish, Ben Miller Band, Nace Brothers to more national touring bands like Wes Jeans and Eric Tessmer. Â These great bands are just the tip of the iceberg when you look at their monthly schedule. Real people, real music...the best place in Eastern Jackson County.
Review Source:Not a dive bar, not even close...
Without a doubt this dump provided the worst experience I've ever had at an eating/drinking/music establishment. Â No exaggerations, it was absolutely terrible. Â
The only reason we bothered driving out to this cheesy strip-mall !hole in BS was to see a great band, but even they couldn't save the experience. Â Probably because they sounded like absolute crap. Â Not their fault, the house has either a really terrible PA or incompetent sound guy, probably both. Â For a place with an $8 cover and a regular show schedule, the sound should be significantly better.
The service was beyond a joke. Â First off, only half the table got drinks. Â Then the slow just got slower, and even after one person's order was completely ignored, no effort was made to rush the missing food while other tables of orders poured out of the kitchen. Â Everyone at the table finished their below average food and even another drink or 2 before our buddy received his lukewarm cheeseburger. Â Even getting our check took well over a half hour because the server insisted on complicating things by separating our orders, despite our insistence not to, and then needed to revisit our table 3 more times to double check who was who and who had what. Â Then of course... "we don't have computers..." or calculators apparently. Â A pencil? Â How about anyone with remedial math skills that can figure out simple addition and percentages. Â It was beyond laughable. Â
The server just kept blaming the busy night, but isn't that in the job description? Â Isn't that the point of a bar on a Friday night? I understand many things are beyond a server's control, but there are things they can do to make up for the inconveniences, and not doing those things makes you a bad server. Â Figure it out.
It was cold. Â It's December. Â Turn the GD heat on. Â Even the macho burbanbags with gelled blow-outs were covering their shoulders with their jackets. Â Judging by the sophisticated name, no heat, the lack of proper documentation for sales, and the all around inattention to detail, I'm assuming the owner is a real classy dude and a first rate businessman.
The only good thing we could say about the place is they have Guinness on tap, but nobody knows how to pour it properly and you'll be lucky to get 3/4 of a pint. Â
...and it was his birthday. Â :(
Now I am ALWAYS skeptical about strip-mall bars... and it's a rare occasion when one wins me over, but this one did it. The first thing I noticed upon entering was the smell... this place still allows smoking! At the time, i was happy about this, being a smoker. But it is day 14 smoke free for me, so now the smoking will limit my visits there. Anyway, the food was decent, normal bar food. Drinks were fairly priced. The sound system could be a little better but wasn't the worst I had heard (this was for a live band). The set up of the place is pleasant. it has that dinner-theatre feel to it, where there are small candle lit tables all the way up to the stage. But there is also another part of the bar that has pool tables and dart boards and whatnot. The bathrooms was relatively clean, but awkwardly laid out.
Review Source:Good atmosphere, if you like bars, it's a bit disconcerting walking up to a slot in a strip mall to go out for the evening. Â Great drinks, just make sure you ask how much they are so you can avoid gaping at your friend at bar close (probably a good option everywhere, come to think of it). Â Possibly the best music in the Metro East.
Review Source:Dive bar extraordinaire, the Trouser Mouse is a fun time waiting to happen. Â True, I mostly go here because one of my favorite local blues bands, Â Trampled Under Foot, are featured, on occasion, and play New Year's Eve pretty much every year.
 The food is good, the drinks are tasty, and there's no pressure to impress anyone, because you will probably only know the people you came with :) Great service, good vibes.
The Trouser Mouse has a very laid back atmosphere and is a great place to relax and unwind. Â The owners are exceptional people that definitely put their customers first. Â The live music is great and you know that you are going to have a good time when you go there with friends. Â I definitely recomend this place if you like jazz and blues.
