Gridiron Lounge, Blue Springs

The Gridiron is the end point for one of the world’s shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parades, an annual tradition for over 3 decades. The parade begins across the street at the old Lowe’s Drug building and has a total length of 66 feet.

One thing that was amusing to us was the restroom. Tiny side-by-side stalls for women and men opened to a common sink. The stalls were so small that the men’s stall had a notch cut in the door so that it could be closed without hitting the toilet. The toilet itself had a makeshift tank lid fabricated out of a piece of sheet metal. A true classic.

By the way if you are a KU fan, stay away. You’ll be mocked and ridiculed until you cry.

UPDATE: Revisted on June 30, 2018. Now named The Keg. It’s been fixed up a little bit, but they kept some memorabilia from the Gridiron days. The men’s toom no longer has a sheet metal toilet tank lid nor a notch cut in the door.

Also the beer list has expanded to include more locals. I had a Hard Way IPA by Martin City.
