“Had a great experience at the Crossroads Hotel. The character is hard to beat, rooms are spacious and staff were friendly. Would stay here again if given the opportunity.”
“It's truly a lovely place; the craftsmanship is stunning the heat is a lot but the show was amazing I forgot I was a boiling lobster. The front door staff is amazing. However after paying $100+ dollars to walk into the door I find the drink prices a little out of hand a Rum & coke, and a beer should never be $36 that's just silly. These were not top shelf drinks, I expected an up charge but I didn't expect two drinks to pay for the whole bottle of liquor and a tip.”
“Paige in valet is truly amazing, It was so wonderful to have someone so knowledgeable and helpful not only of the hotel but the city as well! I was slightly displeased with the hotel it’s but she honestly made up for anything they did wrong!”
“We rented the entire facility for our son’s 11th birthday. We had 16 kids and the staff and place was incredible! The kids absolutely loved it and it was such a unique experience! The two staff members went absolutely above and beyond in every way! We will definitely be back again!”
“Nice variety of artists and crafters. Food trucks, bounce house and even a chance to get a reading! I hope this venue continues to grow! Great Mo River back drop with a nice walking trail. Leashed pets are welcome. A very nice way to spend time on a Sunday afternoon.”
“My husband and I love recordBar. Every show we've seen there has been a great time. The venue itself is very clean and well maintained. The stage is excellent - high enough off the ground to be seen across the venue, but low enough to still feel intimate with the bands.
There is a combination of paid and free parking near the venue. It is literally half a block from the T-Mobile Center, but it feels like its own little world.
I can't speak for the men's restroom, but the women's restroom was clean and had full length stall doors, which is always a plus.
The drinks are reasonably priced. The other night when we were there, my husband got a Busch Light and I got an Angry Orchard for $12 plus tip. (Always tip your bartender!) They had a fully stocked bar, and we saw a sign for $3 mystery shots. We chose not to get that crazy though. They also have a kitchen, though we haven't eaten there.
My husband's band actually got the opportunity to play there recently, and everyone was very kind and friendly. The sound guy was amazing and knowledgeable and the show sounded excellent!
Highly recommend stopping in recordBar for a show if you're looking for a great time at a smaller venue that isn't quite a dive.”
“Tori / thehairhuman is amazing!!! excellent at matching what I ask for, and always takes the coolest photos of my haircut after the fact! super fair prices and easy to book through their site. I love seeing all the cats around outside and parking is super easy in the side lot. try stopping by the Java Garage next door after your haircut , you will like it.”
“I've been going to the uptown since the 90s. It's always been a bit grungy, but the staff is always top tier. The stage seems pretty small, so when they have a band like the flaming lips or even Bright Eyes it can look pretty cramped. I've never noticed the stage impact a performance though. The seats are nice and comfy and the free parking is one of the best deals in this city.”
“I have had grilled cheese sandwich and onion rings! Yummy in your tummy!!! So good!
Grilled cheese normally comes with dill pickle slices and chips! Onion rings are a wonderful addition!”
“We did a clay class with Flower and they were absolutely amazing. Incredibly sweet, helpful, and motivating. It was an amazing class. The premade pottery painting area is also quite large with a ton of pottery and colors to choose from. Great place”

“Nice venue.My sister got married there on May 24th it was a beautiful service and she made a stunning bride.My brothers,my dad and I had an amazing time. I'll never forget that. My only complaint is that the lighting was minimal. Very dark in there.There were tealights in places.You couldn't take great pictures,unless you were there in midday. I have on the royal blue straw hat. I'm the shortest man in the family. ?”
“We had our wedding reception at The Monarch Room in October 2024. We knew after we toured it that it was the perfect venue for us. We loved the open vendor policy so we could truly make the day what we wanted. Being able to bring in your own alcohol that their bartenders prep and serve was awesome as well, so we could completely customize our bar menu. The location also can’t be beat, especially for the price. You really get so much bang for your buck with this venue! Megan and her team were also amazing through the whole planning process and day of the wedding; they were always quick with communication and the day went off without a hitch! Highly recommend checking out The Monarch Room for your event!”
“I love going to Mid-Continent library. They have a great selection of books, magazines and DVDs and they have awesome programs available. This branch's cafe is also delicious!”

“We recently hosted our corporate holiday party at 2016 Main, and it was absolutely spectacular! The planning process was seamless, with their team communicating effectively and streamlining coordination with our vendors, making everything stress-free. Pricing was clear and upfront, and the drinks were phenomenal—our team couldn’t stop raving about them! They also allowed us to incorporate unique customizations and executed everything flawlessly. If you're looking for an event space with outstanding service, beautiful execution, and effortless planning, 2016 Main is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back for future events.”

“Could do with a little more parking spaces, as many people had to park not only on the street but also that of the center median.
Other than that, the place was well lit, well ventilated, and had great cellphone service/reception.”
“Amazing event space with plenty of open floor to dance around and mingle.
Below is a nightclub called the Kali Sound Room, super fun environment with possibly the best sound system in the city.”

“Overall, a solid stay. Near KCI and tons of parking. Rooms were very clean and mostly updated. We didn't use any amenities, so there are no reviews there. Check-in was quick and somewhat friendly. They offer a park and stay option, but we didn't use it this time.
Rooms: Very clean. Modern.”

“Lynette at the front desk was funny & fabulous. The beds were decent. The fridge was not that cold, even on the highest setting & the ice maker barely put out ice. We also had issues with the air. The fan on the A/C unit wouldn't stay on no matter what we did. It kept kicking on & off throughout the night & woke us up multiple times, as it was a little noisy. The shower had good water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped. It would have been nice if there was a table & chairs to eat (or play cards) at. Overall, it was a good place to stay.”
“The Harlow is an industrial-chic dream right in the heart of downtown KC. Exposed brick, big windows, and clean architectural lines give it that perfect mix of modern style and historic character that photographs beautifully.
The space is versatile—great for both ceremonies and receptions—with plenty of natural light pouring in during the day and a moody glow in the evening. The layout makes it easy to keep everything in one place, which is a big win for both couples and their guests.
From a photographer’s perspective, I love how The Harlow’s neutral, textured backdrop lets every wedding design shine—whether that’s lush florals, sleek minimalism, or something totally unique. Every wedding I’ve shot here feels different, and the space transforms easily to fit each couple’s vision.
If you’re after downtown convenience, a little bit of edge, and a ton of style, The Harlow should definitely be on your list.”
“EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY. The venue is as pictured. Smooth process beforehand and I felt at ease and like everything was handled and accommodated for when I showed up. Even in the midst of COVID. Thank you Ashley for all your help on the day of the event!!”
“The owners are amazing!! We had such a great time. They were very encouraging about every decision as well as made wonderful suggestions, only when they noticed if we were struggling with something. They made sure we had everything we needed and more without hovering. I will be going again.”
