Visited the Kansas City location in Sept. 2009. Sat outside but on the bar. Beers are really not very good. Think I’ll stick with the Saucer when I’m in KC.

umm, its a gordon biersch and weak one at that.. the bartender was really cool but there was something off about this place.. also, only one new beer from my last visit to a GB almost 5 years before, try harder guys .. and the maibock i got cost just under $8, that’s ridiculous but i stole the glass so i got some thing out of it, but i poured most of it out on the sidewalk as i walked away... pass on this place because the flying saucer is just on the opposite corner..

This was the typical mass brewed type big business beers. Nothing special, and a few tasted the same. We had a sampler and told our waitres that three actually looked and had similar tastes. She suggested we mix a couple and that wasn’t a bad idea. So we ordered a couple of mixed pints and they were decent. An ok atmosphere, more of a family destination, which is ok, but not an exceptional brewery.

Modern micro in downtown KC. Good food selection. Beers average to above. Nothing really outstanding but all brews reflect their style. Can be loud and crowded. Several group sized tables for families and parties. Overall, good place to drink brew--recommended.

Popped in for a business lunch and a couple of beers. I walked, but there are public parking lots nearby, which are reasonably priced I’m sure. The proximity to the Flying Saucer means that this would be a reasonable stop for the beer traveller, though it would not be a worthwhile destination in its own right. Clean, slightly industrial feeling, the place was pretty crowded for lunch. The food was a little over-priced. A big bar, some pretty big tables if you have a posse, close proximity to the arena. The usual GB lineup and a couple of seasonals - average fare. Can’t remember exactly what I had for lunch - it was tasty and the fries were very good. Wait staff was friendly and prompt.

I haven’t eaten here so I will not rate the food but I have been in for beer on several occasions. The beer is much to talk about. Nothing special. The Schwartzbier was pretty good though and probably a little under rated on here.

Visited for lunch on Saturday, June 7th. I sat on the patio, which was nice - it faces the main Pedestrian walk way of the P&L District and allowed some excellent people watching. The interior restaurant seemed nice, modern brewpub style, wit a very large bar area. The service was quick and efficient, no complaints. The menu is larger than I remember GB menus being, and offers pretty much something for everyone. Burgers, Pizzas, Apps, Seafood, etc, etc. The Mahi-Mahi sandwich I had was fine. Nothing exceptional, but decently made and decently fresh. The garlic fries are nice, and had more garlic than I was expecting, which I liked. The beer was decent, and made for nice sipping on a great afternoon. Overall, a nice option in the P&L District.

My first visit to the new KCP&L District. Roughly 25 min. wait at 8:30pm on a Saturday, parking was a bit time-consuming but ultimately cheap ($2). Obviously caters to the ultra-hip KC nightlifer. The 2 beers I tried were fairly well-rendered, as was the dinner. A little expensive overall - beers are $5-$5.50 for .5 liter servings. Our service was pretty good. Worth a stop but not going to be a new regular place for me to visit.

Visited here with a few beer geek and non beer geek friends. It was a busy Friday night, so it was packed. They are obviously trying for an upscale look and the crowd was suitably well dressed. The beers, overall, were decent, but with no sense of adventure or daring. All were pedestrian with no obvious flaws. An ok place I would visit again if in the area, but probably more for the food than the beer.
