This is a shitty place to see a band, especially if it is packed, unless you are within a few feet from the stage. I get it, it has a cool grungy rock dive vibe but I dread my fav bands playing here.

If u r a beer connoisseur, try one of their 50 (wild guess) different beers on tap. Huge, heated patio with music. The weirdest girls' room chatter. Nice bartenders. The sound is usually good.

Great live music venue and always a good selection of tap beer with a craft beer almost always on special.

Awesome place to see live music inside or outside. There's a creepy zombie baby doll in the green room downstairs.

Try the "Pumktoberfest" (Schlafly Pumpkin Ale & Schlafly Octoberfest) or the "Ichabod" (Schlafly Pumpkin Ale & Old Rasputin) while they're around.

I like the midnight riot cover and drink deals! Sittin on the patio on a nice night is enjoyable. Always an interesting mix of people and music.

Small venue jammed into an alley great for in your face shows.

Dark, dirty, dingy. It's a rock bar with plenty of craft beers and live music almost every night.

Anyone complaining about not getting 'good' drinks....try tipping your bartenders you ignorant bastards. I can't count the number of forgotten nights from this place.

Grimey place with a decent tap beer selection.

Get a bottle of the Sophie. Great beer from the Goose Island Beer Co. in Chicago. Local brews are good, too.

They re-did the bathrooms and made a liar out of me when I told an out-of-town friend they were the dive-iest bathrooms in KC!

If you see the pretty ladies behind the bar, order an Alvie. You won't be disappointed;)

Great sound. Shitty mixed drinks. Don't waste your alcohol allowance unless you plan on drinking beer.

Good if you have lots of energy to dance. There is usually a cover. Decent drinks.
