Outlaw Cigar & Brewery in Kansas City MO is absolutely fantastic! The combination of a cigar store, lounge, brewery, and event location is amazing. The cigar selection in the walk in humidor is spectacular. There is a cigar for every taste and budget! The over 20 different beers and local brews is great. The seating in the leather chairs, along with plenty of TVs, makes you want to stay. Hosting an event at Outlaw Cigar & Brewery will make is a total success. The team is super friendly and knowledgeable. You need to add a visit to your activity list! Go and enjoy!

Vine Street Brewing Co.

My family, friends, and I visited Vine Street Brewing one evening and had a wonderful time reconnecting over excellent brews. We tasted pretty much everything they had on tap and ended up taking a few selections home with us. The brewery itself is relaxed and spread over two floors with local artists displaying their works throughout the space. They definitely have a good thing going here - check it out!

places/ChIJebzFeobxwIcRemfKnUCjv4k/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUR3cDhPTzZBRRAB

The main reason I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars and not five out of five is because for Brewery it doesn't have a lot of beer choices. Love the location, the building was extremely cool, and the vibe of the place was awesome. I just wish they had more choices. There's a really cool historic Castle across the street that you can go explore. The building itself is really cool and it looks like there might be a party space you can rent. And there's also fun art to look at. I would probably go back again but just for one beer. They also had games you could play while you were there. I think it's a really cool function for that building.

Booked the beer tour. $17 per ticket. 5 beers come with this. Two were great, the rest were mid / wouldn’t drink them again. Tour guide was good. Fun experience, got to learn about the brewing process. Was with a friend who was a couple minutes late. They took her ticket, which you can turn in for 2 free beers, and gave her just one free beer ticket. It was very odd considering she technically paid for the 5 beers that come with the tour. Better be early or right on time… or you will just lose your money

Their seltzers were hit and miss. They packed a punch of flavor -- especially enjoyed the cherry blossom and lime, and strawberry, lemon, basil.

The service wasn't necessarily the friendliest but wouldn't stop me from coming back again. Their facility is stunning.

I had an amazing experience at Boulevard Brewery! The food was fantastic, offering flavors that paired perfectly with their wide variety of beers. The tour was well-organized and informative, giving us a great look into the brewing process and history behind the brewery. And, of course, the beer itself was top-notch – there was something for every taste! Highly recommend Boulevard Brewery for anyone who loves great food, quality brews, and a fun, engaging tour experience!

A beautiful impressive facility. Well worth the detour to visit. I can't give a full 5 stars because there wasn't much energy, not many customers. It felt a bit abandoned. Also staff were not beer enthust. I asked about session options and the bartender pointed out the super high Abv options.

Alma Mader Brewing

It's a nice space. Well decorated. Cozy. However it gets really busy and cramped. It's also super loud. The music could be turned down a little. The beer I had was refreshing.

They hosted an Earth Day event, and nailed it on aspect.  The folks leading the event (who I assume on the owners) seemed like thoughtful, nice people.  Despite the West Coast nod they make a pretty tasty New England IPA.  Overall seems like a good local place to get tipsy and support.

If you’re a beer head, this is your place in KCMO. Cool little tasting room, super friendly beer tenders and excellent beer! They even let me play my son’s band on their sound system!

places/ChIJrWZOWQPxwIcRc5IQBppVQ6A/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNKdzg2aUpREAE

Alma Mader consistently holds or competes for the "best brewery in KC" title. Their expertise across a variety of beer styles is nearly unmatched — they can knock out a killer Hazy IPA, but also make expertly crafted lagers, and even decadent imperial milk stouts on a regular basis. I don't think I've ever had a beer from them that I didn't enjoy or recommend to others.

The brewery space is clean, bright and airy. It's not huge but definitely feels open and spacious. When the weather's nice, they recently added an outdoor seating area where you can soak up some sun while sipping on beers, and they'll often raise a large garage door in the side room to make things feel even more open. There are a handful of N/A beverage options and a few snacks on the menu as well.

Honestly, you won't find anything crazy or excessive in the Alma Mader taproom, but they don't need it. They make some of the absolute best beers in the city, if not the region, and provide a comfortable and welcoming space to enjoy them with friends and family. A must-stop if you consider yourself a beer person!

places/ChIJrWZOWQPxwIcRc5IQBppVQ6A/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN1bTZiWGl3RRAB

Best brewery in KC/surrounding area. They even let me back in after I left the self-serve water pitcher running by accident, so quality people all the way around. The beer speaks for itself no doubt...all legit!

Absolutely loved our visit to River Bluff Brewing! This place is a gem—super family-friendly, which made it a perfect stop for us. The beer and seltzer selection was top-notch—bold flavors, refreshing choices, and something for everyone.

Also, what truly blew us away was the food from Jimmy B's Pizza and Wings. Brewery food is usually an afterthought, but not here—everything was delicious and clearly made with care. The pizza was perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the wings were some of the best we've had.

Great atmosphere, amazing drinks, and unexpectedly phenomenal food. We’ll definitely be back! 🍻🍕🔥

Kansas City Bier Company

We took the tour for a friends birthday, then hung out and enjoyed the food and beer for a few hours

The tour was absolutely amazing. For a price of $10, most of the people were a bit tipsy and educated on the brewing process. Definitely worth it, and I’m thinking about making this a recurring tour visit.

The beers are all great and very purposeful. Whether you’re a novice or a beginner, the education is amazing.

Outside of the tour, the staff is on top of it and willing to do whatever it takes for you to have a great experience.

I strongly recommend a visit.

I loved my short visit to the Kansas City Bier Company. Tried the Eiz Weiss and loved it. Spicy and complex – a full bodied darker wheat beer. The atmosphere was friendly and upbeat. The space - with high ceilings - is quite airy with a European beer hall. Feel to it. Something like modern German. The bar is well designed. Long table seating is reminiscent of those German beer halls. I’ve enjoyed every beer I’ve had from the Kansas City Bier Company, and I’m looking forward to more innovation from them in the future.

So many good things happening here! I am not a beer drinker 🤣 but took my husband for a birthday date. I have to say I did really like the cherry cider and appreciated that they had a non alcoholic option that was served just like all their other drinks. Also the plant lover in me was all about checking out all their spider plants and big beautiful babies everywhere! We found a big comfy couch to chill on while ordering food on the iPad at the door for the BBQ place next door. And the best part is in the cold those sweet people brought our yummy food to us at the brew house! They also have a corner of kids toys like cars and board games! Overall the service was great and we really enjoyed this sweet spot!

This is a great dog friendly microbrewery in North KC that includes a very neat outdoor patio area with plenty of places to grab a picnic table and hang out. They have outdoor games like bags and boards, as well as a small shaded patio area closer to the door.  It wasn't very crowded when we were there but seems like it could handle a decent sized crowd.

The beers were great! I had the Weathered Wit (a wheat beer) and The Block IPA.

No real food options but you can easily order BBQ from the restaurant next door which is a nice touch.

This is a nice brewery. It attracts a younger crowd, but it was pleasant and enjoyable. There are 3 "rooms", the main room, a quieter side room and the outside.

The place was clean, the staff was friendly and willing to give samples, and the side room was quiet enough to chat without yelling.

The beers I had all had a very distinct grain flavor as their base with "style" flavors on top.

The ciders were very flavorful and refreshing.

No complaints on my visit.

Cozy little nooks, small tables,  big tables for larger parties,  they have it all,  and don't forget to grab a "board or card game" to engage and laugh even more! Plenty of room and plenty drinks.... it's worth the visit and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable about their products! Impressive!

Stepping into Casual Animal Brewery feels less like entering a brewery and more like discovering an urban oasis. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're enveloped in the warmest, most inviting vibes imaginable. They've absolutely nailed the atmosphere, transforming what could be a typical industrial space into something truly special.

The interior design is nothing short of lush. The high warehouse rafters are not just a testament to the building's origins, but they're masterfully utilized to create a sense of grandeur, with light pouring in from above, illuminating a verdant canopy of extensive plants. It's an incredible visual, creating a natural, almost serene backdrop for enjoying some truly fantastic brews. The combination of industrial chic, botanical beauty, and abundant natural light makes for an incredibly comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment.

And then, there's the beer. Oh, the beer! Casual Animal is truly pushing the boundaries of craft brewing. Every pour I sampled was exceptional, but I have to highlight their experimental IPA. It was an absolute revelation – incredibly crisp and refreshing, with a complex hop profile that danced on the palate without being overwhelming. It's a testament to their brewing prowess and willingness to innovate. Beyond the IPA, their entire tap list showcased an impressive range and quality, with something to delight every beer lover.

Finally, the service is the cherry on top. The staff at Casual Animal are incredibly hospitable, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They're genuinely passionate about their craft and eager to share that enthusiasm with their patrons. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or new to the craft beer scene, you'll feel right at home and well taken care of.

Casual Animal Brewery isn't just a place to grab a beer; it's an experience. It's a place where incredible beer, unparalleled atmosphere, and genuine hospitality converge to create something truly magical. If you're in Kansas City, or even just passing through, do yourself a favor and make a stop here. Better yet, make a special trip from wherever you are right now! You won't be disappointed!

I believe my server's name was Mckayla, and she was phenomenal! Such amazing energy, professionalism, and friendliness...kind of wanted her to just sit down and have dinner with our group.

Pulled up a seat at the bar and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and quick. I started with the Lakeside Kolsch and loved it. Then I tried the Prox-City Amber Lager…even better! I really could not have loved these more, immediately cementing this as a top 2-3 KC brewery for me based on what I’ve tried so far.

They have a nice array of beers but serve good looking cocktails and food as well. Would love to return!

I can’t say enough good things about City Barrel, definitely our favorite brewery/restaurant in KC. It’s hard to choose if the beer or food is better, they’re both incredible!  Rad AF is the best beer in the city and every variation of grilled cheese they make is unreal. We have been here many times and have never had anything but a great time. We have had so many amazing experiences and memories here, including our rehearsal dinner; Joe and his team far exceeded our expectations and we could not have asked for a better evening. We moved out of KC about a year ago and at least every couple days we talk about how much we miss City Barrel. This will be our first stop when we get back into town! City Barrel is always my first dinner/lunch recommendation when asked, I haven’t met anyone who didn’t like it.

KC was an overnight stop and we topped off our mini brewery tour with a coffee stout, which I had seen on their website. I thought what a fabulous idea to combine brewing coffee and brewing beer in one business!  I HAD to try the coffee stout for which Rochester is its OWN collaborator. Didn't disappoint. Took advantage of Thursday's special Buy a Draft and get a free ($3.50) Taster of your choice. Delicious looking pastries were still available at end of day. Im sure their coffee is amazing. Laid back vibe invites locals to come for coffee in the mornings and Happy Hours after work. Check them out if you are in town.

Vibes are great for this area with tons of room inside if you’re coming as a group or want to be away from people.

I really appreciate the late closing time as well, a solid choice if you need a drink late in the day.

Excellent coffee, tea and croissants! Both my partner and I loved the iced americano and blood orange tea had nice flavors. I don’t drink alcohol, so it’s too bad I can’t review their beers, but the menu seemed interesting. Their customer service was great and the atmosphere is cozy and clean.

The outside parking was pretty easy.

I've been to Rochester three or four times now, and they consistently serve quality coffee and food. 10/10 breakfast burritos. 10/10 lattes. I also appreciate the space itself--large enough to accommodate both the socialites and the quiet laptoppers.

The only downside is the poor guest WiFi. Each visit I resorted to using my personal hotspot (with limited data) due the laggy, unstable connection. I'd love to make Rochesters a go-to spot, but the WiFi presents a real barrier.

Fun decor and very clean.  Staff is very friendly and welcoming.  Nice selection of beer and cocktails; many very unique.  Have to say the wraps are good, but the What’s Poppin Wrap is just outstanding.

Fantastic Brews. Everything we tried was just amazing. Definitely going back. The bartender reminded me 3 times that there is an event space downstairs as well.  So if you need an event space, check them out. LOL

Fantastic place. My first brewery stop in or around Kansas City. (Not going into the geographical details and nomenclature on this one.) Fantastic venue, great beer!  Friendly patrons giving me the dirt on the local breweries. Taylor was awesome giving me the details on each beer and telling me about the history of the brewery.

Loved this place! Cool environment, maybe a bit loud music but good music.  Could do without pinball machines too. BEER is very good.  Bess’s Bock is outstanding!  Got to back for more tastes!

Great beer and hard sodas in a really fun and nostalgic downtown location. We had some excellent flatbread pizza from the Flying Horse kitchen as well. Oh, and hands down the most clever men's urinals ever! 😆👍

Great beer! Absolutely delicious and refreshing.
I had the strawberry blonde.

Industrial-chic ambiance, clean, mostly friendly, quick service. Not the most comfy seating, but perfect for a quick couple beers.

Border Brewing is one of the more under-the radar KC breweries, but I’ve come to appreciate and enjoy it more and more over the years. Their current taproom (one block down from their original one, which now houses Red Sash Brewing), is much more spacious and features a nice long bar—I can’t think of another local brewery that has a better one, tbh. Nothing flashy to their digs or beers, but they have nearly all the basic styles covered, only lacking a sour during my last visit. Since it’s nearly 100 degrees outside today, I’m enjoying the Strawberry Blonde, which is excellent!

places/ChIJp2cBRmnwwIcRAQNIlDDz-ek/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURybU95alB3EAE

I am not a beer drinker but Strawberry Blonde was delicious! Great service and awesome place to have a beer. They also have a limited new beer every Thursday called test batch where they only make 5 gallons and then it’s gone so I would suggest going on a Thursday!

Oak & Steel

I love O&S and anyone who knows craft beer will also agree. Even if you don't, they are experts on the beer scene and are very welcome to help you find something you like. From beer to whiskeys to BYOB food from nearby to games and events, they have everything you need. The environment has always been clean which I appreciate. The covered porch is a cool spot as well where your dog can chill and stay cool. I love that they support local breweries and select a strong rotating list of local KC beer. I know if I miss it at the actual brewery, I can count on O&S to have a keg down the line.

places/ChIJQxTkTSvxwIcR75jQZ0t-ltA/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VKcVBqT1R0aVlpeXFnRRAB

Oak & Steel is hands-down one of the best spots in Kansas City if you're into craft beer, fine whiskey, or just want a chill place to enjoy a quality drink. The selection here is incredible—rotating taps with some rare finds and knowledgeable staff who are clearly passionate about what they do.

The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Whether you're stopping in solo, meeting up with friends, or out for a low-key date night, it's the kind of place where you can actually have a conversation and savor your drink.

Even though they don't serve food, they’re totally cool with you bringing your own or ordering from nearby, which adds to the laid-back charm.

If you appreciate expertly poured drinks, a great atmosphere, and staff who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit, Oak & Steel should be at the top of your list.

Stopped in here for a couple of beers before a show at Kauffman. Did not eat anything but really enjoyed the selection of beer.  Atmosphere was usual Friday night. Very helpful and friendly service. Highly recommend for a drink or two.

Great “craft drinkery”! Lots of beer, wine and whiskey options with a laid back interior with TV, games, and plenty of seating. There is a great outdoor space with paver floors and lots of room for kids to play. In a great spot in the crossroads area close to food and you can order local pizza to be delivered.

Great service and concept. I took a chance on a chocolate martini made with Bourbon. I am not a bourbon drinker so I thought it was a beautiful drink but the bourbon was over powering. My husband got and Oolong Ginger cocktail. Again he took a chance on something new and thought it was really good. The vibe is great. Love the decor. Would definitely come back.

Great ambience I love that. They have a super cool big projector with movies on and they have a bunch of TVs with different things you can watch. The drinks are super unique and creative and really yummy. I definitely recommend checking this place out. I had a great time.

One of our favorite date night spots in Midtown on 39th. We love the menu variety. Pride Month offerings were great, especially the Big Pickle Energy. A very pickly dirty martini, really delicious. Get there early on weekend nights, it’s an intimate space that fills up fast.

The cocktail “Say Hallow To My Little Friend” is by far one of the best coffee cocktails I’ve had in Kansas City. Very relaxed and clean atmosphere, bartender was super friendly. Will definitely be back to try the new winter themed drinks. To the owner, please don’t have your female bartenders working at night by themselves. There was a situation last night that put her in danger and distress, luckily the man didn’t harm her and she was able to lock the front door.

We went last night on a wonderful date and the atmosphere was incredibly cozy and we enjoyed the Halloween vibe. Their Halloween themed drinks were fun, but their House Cocktails were what we were looking for. They had unique and fun profile flavors and their presentation of them was top notch. We had the privilege of being served by their bartender, Perla. She was absolutely amazing and we loved her creativity. She created an amazing version of an old fashioned that tasted like fall. We have christened it the "Falling for Perla" cocktail. We hope it gets put into the house cocktail menu! We absolutely will be coming back. However, whatever Perla is getting paid, it is not enough, she is an absolute Gem, hold on to her!

Our server was excellent and the food was great! The burger with burnt ends and a side of parmesan fries is definitely recommended. Also, if you want something a little less heavy but still delicious, get a salad with grilled chicken. The chicken that they add to the salads has a nice charcoal flavor. Fantastic beer selection!

I’ve never had a bad meal here. Their burgers are really tasty and so are their salads. You have to get the fries and try some of their sauces - so good! They have a very wide assortment of beers as well as a cocktail and non alcoholic menu. Beer Kitchen does a nice job of catering to gluten free diners. They have a whole gluten free food and beer/cider menu!

We were seated quickly, service was perfect! We were surprised to be seated quickly it was pride parade weekend and it was definitely lively and loud, not the normal atmosphere but we didn't mind. Enjoyed a few of our favorites. We brought our out of town family to enjoy the local fair.

Torn Label just does it right.  All the beers are good and the setting is welcoming and approachable. I let the bartender pick my flight. I told him what I like and he picked a great flight that fit all my tastes.  The beers paired perfectly with our tacos.

Went with family. I never would have found it since there are no signs, just a banner on the deck. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. I had the burrito and elite. We shared the sweet potato chips with bean dip and an order of fries.

All the beers were fantastic from the dark Mexican lager to the driveway Czech, but the real deal sealer was the tacos.

I ordered the cochinita pibil and suadero to start, and I had to get the pollo adobado because the first two were so dang good.

The salsa is amazing as well. Tacos Valentina is a real show stopper.

Grabbed a couple cans to go as well because the beer was too delicious to leave behind.

So good.

Hands down, Torn Label offers the best food out of any brewery in Kansas City. This is a go-to spot for us on a Saturday when we're looking for a fantastic lunch coupled with some equally solid beers.

From a beer perspective, Torn Label usually offers around a dozen beers on tap, 3 of which are consistent year-rounders and the rest seasonal and rotating. I'd be hard pressed to write a comprehensive list of all the beers I love, but High Contrast Witbier and Golden Garden Saison are definitely two that I consistently look for.

When you visit, you have two options: 1) the OG taproom space or 2) the newer, larger Public House space. The OG taproom is charming and moody, with lower lighting and minimal seating indoors. A huge patio/deck area makes up for it with ample outdoor seating. The Public House is where we spend most of our time. While not massive by any means, it's much larger than the taproom, and much more open and airy.

Plus, the food. Let's talk about the food. Like I mentioned, Torn Label absolutely has the best food out of any KC brewery with a kitchen. But beyond that, in my opinion they have the best French fries in Kansas City overall. Beautifully crispy and perfectly salted potatoes fried in tallow and as an added bonus, Torn Label has a rotating selection of stellar dipping sauces. While they are ever-changing, we've found favorites in the curry ketchup, romesco, and gochujang aioli, among others. Beyond fries, Tacos Valentina currently has a residency inside Torn Label, serving up decadent tacos, elotes and more.

If delicious local beer and delicious local food under one roof is your game, Torn Label is the name to remember.
