The Original Joe's KC (Previously called Oklahoma Joe's.. but that story if for another day). Z-Man sandwich is a KC staple and must try. Get burnt end sandwich while you can (they run out everyday / first come first served). Lines can be long on the weekend. Non BBQ lovers can hit up Taco Republic / Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken next door. *****CLOSED ON SUNDAYS*****

Relatively unknown BBQ joint outside of KC, but theses guys have been dominating the BBQ circuit for years. Three ribs + burnt end plate, cattleman's plate (brisket, burnt ends, and beef polish sausage), cheesy corn, and mac & cheese with bacon are fan favorites. Must try for any BBQ lover.

Amazing BBQ with one of the best beer garden's in Westport. BBQ trays (pick 2 or 3 meats), jalapeno cheesy-corn bake, crispy jo-jo potatoes are some of our favorite items. Grab some BBQ / beer and head out to their patio if the weather is nice. Sunday fried chicken is also popular (available noon until it is sold out).

Brunch

One of the best bottomless mimosa's spots in KC ($15.95 per person 10am to 2:30pm). If you want to spend a Saturday or Sunday watching sports and drinking this is the spot (you may see one of your hosts their on a football weekend). Restaurant can get loud as it fills up with sports fans. Nashville hot chicken, steak "street" tacos, ultimate omelette are some of the fan favorites.

Brewery / Distillery / Winery

KC's original and most famous brewery does not disappoint. Head of to the BLVD Beer Hall for brunch on the weekends (or any day of the week), while you can also take a tour any day (first come basis / daily signup)... If you miss a tour no worries just sample some of the beer in beer hall. Make sure to taste at least one of their seasonal experimental beers. Some of our favorite beers include : Space Camper IPA, 80 acre (hoppy wheat), easy sport. Two absolute must tries for any beer drinker are the Blvd Wheat (we call this the gateway beer. It is blvd most popular beer / great all around beer) and the Tank 7 (american saison)... These two beers are over 85% of Blvd's total beer sales.

Get on the street car and take a ride down to this brewery. It is one of our favorites with a great outdoor patio and lots of live music. Within walking distances of other drinking spots in Crossroads district (Casual Animal, KC Wineworks, Border Brewing, Tom's Town Distilling).

Local Gems

If you are visiting friends in town with dogs this is a must stop. Plenty of beer for the humans and plenty of running and toys for your furry friends. You may even see one of you hosts their on the weekend. This is a uniquely KC concept that has fans raving for more locations.

KC's pickle ball craze started here. Grab a couple of friends for a friendly game of pickleball (book ahead as it fills up early), or some slower paced yard games (cornhole, ladder golf, etc). If you are there to drink checkout their rooftop bar.

This is a local dive bar. Don't come to be impressed by the building, but if you love wings (they are huge) and beer this is good place to belly up to the bar for some sports.

Bars

One of the bars in KC. Fans rave about the rooftop bar's views and stellar mixed drinks. They even have a couple bocce ball courts on the roof. Drinks are a bit pricey, but worth is in our opinion. We are big fans of the Kentucky Mules. Most Saturday's you will find a yoga class in the morning (free but suggested $5 donation for local charities).
