Fresh ingredients, quality selection. Bison burger was good. Turkey pesto was also great. My only complaint is that it's not very fast. Especially for just getting a sandwich. I mean come on. It shouldn't take 10-20 minutes to get a sandwich made.
I will be going back.

As far as my experience goes, this reminds exactly of the local dishes in Hawaii. My chicken terriyaki came with some great white steamed rice and macaroni salad.  Price isn't cheap but you get a pretty good sized meal. I got the order to go and they were quick and helpful.

What do you want in a dive bar?Cheap beer, friendly staff and a fun clientele.
This "thin" bar is exactly the kind of place you should stop by before a sprint center game or show because you won't have to pay $5 for a boulevard. No fake attitude. It's not a tourist spot. Only authentic locals offering up a smile and a reasonably priced PBR.

I'd probably give this 3.5 stars, but i'll go ahead and allow the extra half star because the sides are pretty tasty.  The burgers are good but they didnt really BLOW me away. Definitely not standard bar burgers though and who doesn't love truffle oil fries?  They do gourmet burgers that are above average as far as cooking and ingredients. Would I go back? Yeah. Do I want to go here every week? Nah.

Great "hidden" bar. The place is limited to 40 people. You can text in your reservation (find the number yourself!!)  Definitely a bar taking a trend from bigger cities (NYC/chicago) and making it work in KC.

Drinks are expensive but worth it. Remember kiddos, these are COCKTAILS. one will likely knock off your girlfriend's bud light drinking  shoes :P just teasing ya. They make their own ice specific for the drink/glass and its just a welcoming place with friendly staff. Drinks are organized by base liquor (rum, whiskey, vodka, etc) and it's kinda hard to decide what to get. It's all an adventure and Ryan Maybee does a good job of creating a story or illusion.

It's not really a "secret" bar but it's not advertised, there's no standing room, it's small and it's in a basement.   The place is dark and the play music, but not so loud that you can't hear a conversation easily.

This place is kind of like Firefly but the drinks are more gourmet and the place is hidden even more. Buzz yourself in if you get the chance, but don't tell too many people (I still want to get in!)

The Marquee Bar & Grill

I've been here twice for lunch. It's nothing crazy gourmet by any means. It's pretty standard bar food with a giant pickle on the side (yes, i'm serious). It's also open till 4am on the weekends which is incredibly nice and the service is very attentive. They will be sure to take care of you. Best day to go would probably be wednesday or as they call it "hump day." The special is half price burgers and beer all day. a very good deal, especially downtown where there's no fast food burgers really.

Tivoli Theatre

One of the places you can watch Indie-films in KC..... Although for me, this place is going to become unimportant soon enough. Once AMC opens up there flagship theater downtown, The Empire Theater, I'll most likely not have a reason to come to the Tivoli anymore. Empire will be clean, offer a bar and more food options, extremely comfy seating.... and only a walk away for downtown's 20,000 residents.

I'm a fan and I like the hole-in-the-wall feel but Tivoli is going to be a relic soon enough (Summer/Fall 09).

Firefly Lounge

When I went, I found that this place did NOT have:
 Loud music
 Dirty feel
 Dance friendly atmosphere
 Tons of really drunk attention-needy kids

What I DID find was:
 Chill, music but not too loud
 Very clean
 Decent selection of wine and original cocktails
 Hidden and relaxed vibe

I tried the signature drink. I wasn't blown away, but I enjoyed it. I really liked the vibe. I loved how the music wasn't so damn loud. Just about every bar these days tries to overpower you with music. I can see this bar being wonderful to hit on girls. Why?  You can actually hear a conversation. There are plenty of bars that fill your dance, dirty bar, and crazy drunk quota.  This place was really nice to get grab a booth, get a little food and hang out with some friends. You don't have to be going wild to enjoy this place

Cosentino's Downtown Market  

Category: Grocery
Neighborhoods: Central Business District, Greater Downtown, Power & Light District

5 star rating

A Red Box,  sushi, deli, gyros, 80-foot salad bar, coffee bar, fancy meat and cheese, liquor/beer/wine, and all your standard grocery fair.....yes.

So far. So good.   As time goes by, we'll see how they handle things, but Cosentino's has handled the big rush for the first two days of being open.   They've been friendly and helpful and are happy to cater to your needs.

Plenty of parking and just the right size. They will help you take your groceries to your car ( the carts, like other grocery stores, lock up if you try to leave with them).

The prices are comparable to any other KC grocer and I'm one of many so glad this place opened.

This isn't your local flavor.  

It's mostly filled with chains and has a very corporate feel to it.  That being said. It's still pretty fun and like I always say, it's not where you go, it's who you go with.
Yes, it is expensive.  A couple tips:  hit up Raglan Road for good beer for the same price as the rest of the area.  Go inside the bars to buy your drinks, it's usually cheaper unless one of those stands is having a special. Drink heavily to fit in.
