This brewery opened a couple of years ago but I hadn’t had a chance now to make it out here. This is an extremely cute little place with rather good beer and one of the nicest restrooms I’ve ever seen. There’s a really nice outdoor area too, but despite it being partly covered and there being a fire we decided it was just too cold.

I had the Colombian Connection Coffee Porter.

I’m going ahead and marking this as having food, because they are in the process of adding a kitchen and its opening is imminent.

This brewery is located in an odd little geographical nexus. It is within the city limits of Lake Lotawana, has a Grain Valley address due to just barely being inside the 64029 zip code, and is within yards of Blue Springs.

This is a basement bar, albeit a walk-out basement if you enter from the alley side. Good to see more basement bars in KC, we don’t have as many as other cities. (I later learned there’s another newer one a few days earlier whose main entrance is also in the alley.) There is foot in the form of a taco truck on the patio.

We arrived to a nearly-empty bar just after a group left, but by the time we left ourselves it was starting to fill back up. The bartender said it’s busiest after 10pm.

I only had a few minutes to stay so had a Guinness. I’ll have to come back another time to spend more time here.

This is a bar that actuallypours Guinness correctly, so it took several minutes.

The shower curtain is an interesting design choice.

The bottom level (Baltimore Street side) is everything you expect from a tiki bar. Dark, island-themed, and lots of fun cocktails. I hade the Cafe Kahuna and the Saturn.

The upper level has more of a lunch place feel but is nice in its own way. It has large garage doors that let in a lot of light and open up to the outdoor patio. However that patio is basically a set of tables in the fenced off area of a parking lot, so that aspect of it is meh compared to the rest of the place.

The oldest part of the building (south end) was originally a gas station, the bartender was unsure what the newer addition had originally been used for. There’s lots of eating inside throughout two rooms and a big covered patio in the front. There’s a kitchen but I didn’t try the food since I’d just eaten lunch not long earlier.

In addition to their craft beer the menu also includes cocktails and frozen margaritas.

My beer flight consisted of The Duke (imperial brown ale), Watkins Mill Campground (English ale), 37th Chamber (Irish Stout) and Steven’s Last Night In Town (spiced Belgian IPA), a brand new beer they had just tapped less than an hour before I got there.

It’s mostly a mercantile, but there’s a long bar down one side that is mostly stand-up for tastings, though there’s a few barstools at the bar end for those sitting down for beer, wine, or spirits.

We assumed this would be a wine tasting, so were surprised when we found out the tastings were of moonshine and various other spirits and liqueurs. Our choices were “everything on the bar and on the back wall”, and there were literally dozens of choices most of which we could barely read from the counter, so it was pretty much a crapshoot what we got but we did find some tasty surprises that we purchased.

Though thisplace has a lot of outdoor seating, I would hesitate to call it dog-friendly because the dogs who live here roam the grounds freely and spend a lot of their time moving from table to table for pets.

This is a large, dark-finished, multi-room establishment with a bar that pokes through a wall to serve the two main rooms. There’s an outdoor courtyard with a stage and lots of tables, and through the back is a separate (but attached) building with the main indoor stage where a band was getting set up.

For the gentlemen: the restroom in the main bar is for micturition (aka #1) only. You walk down a hall lined with dictionary definitions for various states of inebriation, then enter an elegantly-decorated room with a single wall-length outside trough. “If you need to make use of a cubicle” as the bartender so delicately put it (aka “make poopies”), THAT men’s room is in the back building where the main stage is.

From looking at the web site, it seems I visited fewer than half of the various rooms and buildings that make up this venue.

I had a Guinness and then warmed/yellowed the ice before I left.

This is Missouri’s first Black-owned brewery. When the new opening time hit, every car door on Vine opened. Within minutes the brewery went from empty to standing room only on both levels.

I started to order a flight, but then as hey were making it they realized one of the beers I’d asked for were not eligible for flights due to how it needs to be poured. So they called the two they had already poured me “free samples” and I ordered a full pour of their flagship beer. (Jazzman, a black lager, the one that couldn’t be included in a flight.)

The other two beers I tried (the two redeclared as “free samples”) were the East 71 (cream ale) and the Midnight Mississippi (stout).

The food was good, but it was a but of a surreal experience. About 10 minutes after we started eating, the server came out to apologize for the delay, then began bringing out a duplicate of one of our table’s meals. They ended up not charging for it, and we ended up reheating those leftovers later around midnight when we were watching the meteor shower back at our rental house.

The other thing that made this a weird visit was spending 15-20 minutes searching for a missing cellphone that we later found out had never bee brought here in the first place.

Scooter’s 1571st bar, first visited in 2022.

Over 110 years old, the building was originally a Pabst bar back in the days when the big breweries operated their own little chain bars all over. It has since been NUMEROUS things, see the history in one of the photos for details.

This is primarily a cocktail bar, though they do have other options. I started with one called The Murdock, which was made with West Bottoms Whiskey, which is how I found out West Bottoms Whiskey existed so would get added to our itinerary for the day. I followed that up with a coffee based cocktail called The Ape Hanger. My wife had a Fancy Glory Hole, named after a row of likely glory holes found in the basement from one of the building’s past uses as a fetish club.

The bar includes two ping-pong tables, something you don’t normally expect to see in a cocktail bar.

On a personal note, I had an incredible sense of déjà-vu here.

I am absolutely certain I had never been here before, but I cannot explain it. I have even had dreams set in this building. It is all very bizarre.

The emergency pomade in the men’s room was nice touch that more establishments should take note of.

My in-dash navigation led me stray, taking me to the south side of 150 into a residential neighborhood behind QuikTrip. Handy tip: It’s on the NORTH side of 150, behind the Harley dealership.

This is a brewery that opened and also saw a good portion of its ground-up construction take place during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it shows in the design. With a lengthy from wall entirely of garage doors and a spacious patio plus lots of outdoor activities, they put a lot of effort into bringing in fresh air and spreading people out over a large area. At the time of our visit a dog park was even in the works.

As a food option, there is an attached café called The Chive.

They focus on session beers, so you can enjoy the flavors and not worry so much about the after-effects. I had the Lay Back Amber Ale and the Tippin’ Stout. I also had a taster of their California Common right before leaving, which was the best example of that style I’d ever tasted.

My original plan was to eat lunch here, but I’d already lost an hour due to backtracking out of my way to Saddlebock Brewery down in Springdale. So to get back on schedule (I wanted to be home in time for the season premiere of The Walking Dead, I decided to just have a beer here (Guinness) and also scratch the dive bar in Carthage I’d planned to visit on my way back.

I was here in the dead zone between lunch and dinner, so it was just me and a handful of bikers… though it sounded like quite a few more were on their way but hadn’t arrived before I left.

The building seen in the photo is the kitchen and the restrooms. The bar and the main dining room are literally inside a cave in the cliff, while outside is a sprawling seating area with your choice of sitting out among the trees or under the cliff overhang behind the vines. In-between is a transition zone where water drips on you.

There’s an awesome goat that lives here too, with a feed dispenser nearby if you want to hand-feed it. (Actually there may be more than one, I just saw the one in the last photo below.)

This is a place I definitely want to come back to and stay longer.

I had The Great Cobra Scare of ’53 by Mother’s Brewing Company, which in retrospect I should have taken a few more moments to study the list because it’s a wheat bear which is just about my least favorite style. I spent almost as long here as I did having dinner at the last place due to it taking me so long to force down a wheat beer.

I had been really looking forward to a burger, as they looked awesome in the photos online, but their only cheese offering was American so that nixed that. (Come on, burger places should offer one or more of Swiss, Pepper Jack, or Provolone as an alternative to that disgusting orange kiddie crap.) Luckily they also had chicken tenders that hit the spot, along with a side of vinegar fries.

I had a Deschutes Black Butte Porter with my meal.

By the way, this place is a little off because it is inside a large building and doesn’t have a direct outdoor entrance. I found it easiest to park on the south side and enter through the back.

By the time I was done I needed to use the restroom something awful, so I paid my check and got up to find it. Turned out there are no restrooms inside the place, they are out in the building’s main lobby. I followed the signs and found them. Locked, with a keypad access code required to use them. That’s pretty annoying. I decided to hold it until I got to my next place. Which ended up being my hotel, as I decided it was time to switch to Uber. Longest 3 mile drive of my life!

Despite how my pictures look there were actually about 15-20 people in here and it became busier during my visit, as both a birthday party and karaoke were preparing to start. I just happened to catch a couple of moments where people had moved from one section of the room to another.

I had Guinness.

The bar area has ample seating, and there is a large covered patio as well. Note that during the daytime, from the street it can be really had to tell a business is here. It’s on the south side of the garage (north side of 17th).

I had a Black Noise, Port Barrel Aged Black Noise, Black Noise (w/ Blueprint Coffee), Rum Barrel Aged Liquid Spiritual Delight (LSD), and Little Big Hop; all by 2nd Shift Brewing.

They were out of a few of their beers when we arrived, but I found enough to make a flight out of. I had the Cali Rush 9American IPA), In Control (Session IPA), Kaimanawa (Kai) Express (lager), and What A Ride (Irish dry stout).

Give ‘em hell, Harry! (You can see him in the upper left corner.)

The restroom is quite a trek around back of the flea market, so don’t wait until you can’t hold it! If you are male, the journey is rewarded with a pair of delightful beer keg urinals.

There’s a popcorn machine in the corner and a shuffleboard in the corridor between the tap room and the retail store.

I had their New Independence Pale Ale, Coconut Milk Stout, Tootsie Pop Porter (delicious), and English Mild.

Come inside and wander to the back room, you still would never guess there’s a bar in here. All you’ll see is a coffee shop and a seating area with shelves of KC souvenirs available for purchase.

But then you might notice the red curtain around the corner, that looks like it would lead to an employee-only stock room.

Head through THAT curtain to find the bar — hidden so far back into the center of the block that you will have no phone signal and have to use their free wifi.

The beers are all local KC beers, and there is a limited cocktail menu using liquors that I assume are all regional.

This was intended to be a quick drop-in to pick up a visit to a local dive bar I’d known about for almost 30 years but never visited. Just a quick Bud Light, then leave.

Boy was I wrong.

In a bizarre stroke of luck, today was also the first day of their brewery operation that I had never heard a peep about until this visit, and we wound up being their very first customers! They only had 4 of their own beers ready for sale (Atlas Brew, Irish Stout, Russian Imperial Stout, and a barleywine they’d been working on for near 2 years), but all four of them were hit out of the park. We also got to sample their not-quite-ready-for-sale Scottish Ale (it wasn’t fully carbonated yet) and even being partially-flat it was outstanding.

The “pub” aspect was a bit of a letdown, just a small corner bar with only a few of the basic domestic beers available in cans. But I drank one, so it counts!

The pizza is pretty great though, and I’m told even more games are coming than what I show here. They have lots of room to grow.
