Spectator's Lounge
1 review for Spectator's Lounge
The sports bar at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center has some nice features.
First, it's open later than any other restaurant in the hotel. That makes it the place for conventioneers to gather as their flights come in from around the country. Second, they have a decent selection of cocktails. Third, they have satisfying sandwiches.
Our group gathered at a table under the big-screen TV after we had checked in and hung our clothes. We discovered that just two sandwiches appealed to almost everyone: the BBQ beef brisket, and the portabella mushroom.
Now, someone who lives here might not give the BBQ beef brisket much credit, but for a traveler who has been dreaming about barbecue ever since he heard the convention would be in KC, this was a must-do. I could tell the waitress liked the sandwich by the way she smiled and almost danced as she described it. She said the sauce was a combination of 1/2 Gates and 1/2 KC Masterpiece, so I knew there was something special about this sandwich.
The BBQ beef sandwich, with french fries, an appletini, a diet Pepsi, and a glass of merlot, came to about $37 + tip. Not bad for hotel fare. Also, the service was great. After a slow start, I watched as the entire staff pulled together as a team, and although it was almost closing time, made sure that we were all satisfied.
