Walking into this restaurant feels like stepping into a little piece of history. Housed in a historic brick building, it has plenty of charm, but that old-school character comes with one small catch: there isn’t much sound dampening. When the restaurant gets busy, the noise can really bounce around. The lighting is also very low, giving the place a cozy, laid-back feel.

The food menu has something for just about everyone, with sandwiches, burgers, pizza, salads, and a kids menu to keep the whole crew happy. Nothing feels overly complicated, and it’s the kind of menu where everyone can find something they’re in the mood for. The craft b**r selection on tap is decent too, giving you enough choices to find a tasty pint to go with your meal.

When the weather cooperates, the outdoor patio is a great place to hang out. There’s also a stage for live music, which adds some extra energy and makes the restaurant feel more like a neighborhood gathering spot than just a place to grab dinner. Between the historic setting, casual food, patio, music, and b**r, it’s a fun place with plenty of personality. Just be prepared to turn up the conversation volume when the crowd gets rolling!

Based on my experience at Konrads kitchen and Taphouse this place gets a ⭐️⭐️⭐️out of 5 stars this was due to the low lighting, noisey atmosphere and indoor stage.

I am young enough and still have great vision but the place could have used a little more lighting; people have alaways said I talk to loud but at the time I went I felt like I had to talk even louder than normal with the person I was with. With the indoor stage this placed seemed more like a bar that serves food than a kitchen and taphouse; for example there is another place in another city I have been too with a similar name and that place looks like a sit down restaurant with and added taphouse.

As far as everything else goes I had the bison burger with fries. The burger was good not to dry fries were similiar to shoe string and i'm not a fan of those kind, the pizza chips appetizer was good I would go back here for thee live music or have drinks with friends but not as a dinner date.

Walking into this brewery feels like stepping into a science lab where the experiments are all about great drinks. the place mixes creativity with craft, serving b**rs in fun beaker glasses that make every pour feel like part of the experiment. The lounge seating is cozy and inviting, making it easy to kick back and enjoy the atmosphere.

The drink menu has something for everyone. Along with a great lineup of craft b**rs, they also serve a variety of spirits if you're in the mood for something a little stronger. Whether you're sipping a flight or enjoying a cocktail, every drink feels carefully crafted and full of personality.

This brewery proves that science and good times are a perfect combination. The unique theme, comfortable seating, and friendly vibe make it a place you'll want to visit again. If you're looking for a brewery that's a little different and a lot of fun, this one definitely earns an A+ in chemistry.

Based on my Experience at ExBEERiment brewing it gets a 🍺🍺🍺🍺 out of b**rs this is because of the fact they do not serve food. I really enjoyed the whole science laboratory theme going on here. Having a b**r poured into a beaker glaass had me thinking these were experimental b**rs as opposed to regular b**rs which was a cool thing considering they did not have any experimental b**rs just the whole theme of the place made my brain go there subconsciously. I would definitely go back to this place.

During the 1920s and 1930s, Kansas City was largely controlled by two rival political bosses, Tom Pendergast and Joe Shannon, who used bribery, persuasion, and political influence to dominate city government and advance their business interests. Because many voters could not read, Pendergast's supporters marked their candidates with a goat symbol, while Shannon's used a rabbit symbol, giving rise to the famous "Goats and Rabbits" rivalry. During Prohibition, Pendergast's influence over the police allowed gambling, brothels, nightclubs, casinos, and alcohol sales to flourish, helping make Kansas City a lively destination that a newspaper once called the "Paris of the Plains." The Goat Brewing Co. takes its name as a tribute to this colorful chapter of Kansas City's history.

Walking into this brewery feels like stepping into a place where jeans are welcome, but everything else is dressed to impress. The polished bar, matching tabletops, cozy lounge chairs, and stylish décor create an upscale vibe without feeling stuffy. Whether you settle in by the bar or grab a seat on the outdoor patio, it's the kind of place that invites you to stay for "just one more."

The menu has something for just about everyone, making it easy to pair great food with an even better drink. B**r may be the star, but the wh***ey and bourbon selection deserves its own round of applause. Every pour feels thoughtfully chosen, and the fancy bar setup makes watching your drink being made part of the experience.

If you find yourself coming back often, the membership club is a nice bonus that makes regular visits even more rewarding. With delicious food, comfortable seating, a beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of ways to relax, this brewery blends class and comfort into one memorable stop. It's the perfect place to catch up with friends, celebrate something special, or simply enjoy a great evening.

Based on my experience at The Goat Brewing Co its gets 🍺🍺🍺🍺 out of 5 b**rs this is because the staff was friendly, the drinks were good, the atmoshphere was cozy and inviting.

Based on my experience at The Goat Brewing Co this place gets a 0 out 5 edibles this is because at the time I visited so I was not hungry so I can not fairly comment on the quality and taste of any of the food they offer.

Overall this place gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5 stars this because I did not try any of the food and I havr to base my opinion on everything else.

If you're looking for a place that feels like a sports bar than a traditional restaurant, this spot is a winner. The TV's are everywhere. the atmosphere is livley, and there's always something exciting happening. It's the kind of place where you can grab a drink, watch the game, and hango out with friends for hours.

The food keeps things simple but satisfying. The pizzas come out hot with plenty of toppings, the sandiwches are packed with flavor, the salads are frsh enough to balance out all the game-day snacks. There's something for everyone, whether you're craving something hearty or a little lighter.

What really makes this place stand out is the fun vibe. The staff is friendly, the crowd is energetic, and it feels welcoming whether you're a sports fan or just there for the food. It's a great neighborhood spot for casual meals, game nights, and good times.

Based on my experience at Nicky's Pizza this place gets a 🍕🍕🍕 out of 5 slices of pie this is because the pizza itself whether the original or thin crust was just average. I also do not know how the other menu items taste and they were also under some renovations at the time.

Happy Saturday everyone whats everyone up to today?

This brewing company has a strong urban vibe that fits perfectly with its location inside a historic district and an old concrete building. The space feels raw in the best way—high ceilings, industrial textures, and a design that leans into the building’s history instead of covering it up. With both a downstairs bar and an upstairs bar, the layout gives the place a fun, multi-level energy that makes it easy to explore and find your own spot to settle in.

One of the biggest highlights is how much there is to do in one visit. Guests can enjoy flights, which makes it easy to sample a range of b**rs without committing to just one style. The outdoor patio adds another layer of experience, offering a laid-back space to enjoy drinks in the open air. The brewery also connects seamlessly to an attached restaurant that serves chicken-inspired dishes, with familiar comfort sides like mac and cheese, fries, and coleslaw that pair well with just about anything on tap.

What really sets this place apart is its significance as the first Black-owned brewery in the state, which adds real meaning behind the experience without feeling forced or performative. It’s a spot that blends history, culture, and community with solid b**r and approachable food. Between the layered layout, the food options, and the welcoming atmosphere, it manages to feel both energetic and comfortable—an easy place to spend an afternoon or night out.

Based on my experience at Vine Street Brewing CO this place gets a 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺out of 5 b**rs this is due to the fact they offer flights, food, have an outdoor space, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and that they are wecloming to people of all cultures. Their chicken restaurant which is in the same building so you can order food and stay for more drinks is a bonus as well.

Based on my experience at Vine Street Chicken CO this place gets a 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗 out of 5 chicken tenders this is due to the fact they offer various sizes of chicken tender meals, sides, pieces of chicken, add on flavorings to the tenders themsleves, side sauces and the fact that you could just order their food to go or order it and eat it there without needing to visit the brewery for people who don't drink and want to check out a good restaurant.

Overall this places gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
