Brewery Emperial

I love this place. It's great in the summer with their cool, covered patio. But we came on a foggy and cold Christmas Eve. Inside was a haven for weary and thirsty travelers, cozy and comfortable. The beer is excellent. I had a flight of imperial stouts that I really should've spent longer drinking. They were quite good. The food was first rate, with plenty of vegetarian options available. Our server was festive and super friendly, which only added to the ambience. I recommend highly.

Great place to hang out, just outside of downtown KC - in the crossroads/brewery district.I tried two beers from the menu and enjoyed both. The first was actually a beer and a shot - Todd's Combo. The pint of Biscuit and a shot of TODAMMIT wouldn't be my go to, but it was worth trying. I actually enjoyed the beer. The cinnamon schnappy shot I could've skipped. The beer had toasty notes... if you like pale ales, it is a good tasting beer.I also tried the URSA23, which is a stouty beer. It was great tasting and filling. 12 malts and 1/3 of the batch is aged in Tom's whiskey barrels. It was delicious.We took up seats at the bar. The bartender was nice and greeted us immediately. He took our orders and put some waters in front of us. As soon as we were near empty, he asked if we wanted more or something else. He was knowledgeable in guiding us to the beers on tap. Guests have the ability to order online, but why would you with competent friendly service like this?Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The biergarten is covered, and if you want to sit out front, you can do that too. Even games for the kiddos, if you bring them along. They have flat screens showing the Chief's game, and music in the back ground if you weren't interested in football.

Great food, beer and love the outdoor area! They added tetherball which is awesome! I also love being able to bring the pups there. The only thing I don't like is how you have to place your own order on your phone and you have to pay through there as well. I definitely prefer to have a server you interact with that takes your order and checks on you. They just bring you your stuff and then they also automatically add on 20% tip on your bill. It just doesn't seem right to me especially since I felt like I did most of the work. Other than that small annoyance it's an awesome place.

I really enjoyed our stop at Brewery Emperial. I loved the space and the service was great. I had the Biscuit beer and really enjoyed it. We shared the Parmesan fries, mini corn dogs and Bavarian pretzel. Everything tasted great. We are already planning on returning.

Cute little place that offers inside and outside seating. We stopped to have some drinks and appetizers. Place is small and cramped, service was lacking a bit as they encourage you to order on their app only and not with servers. We tried guacamole dip and fries. Both were ok but not amazing. Enjoyed drinks. Fun place to hang out.

The server in a Wednesday costume was amazing last night. Very sweet and accommodating of my food allergies. The food was good. The pretzel was hot and soft. My coworker liked the green beans. The place is cute with all the owls.

Quality beer + full bar, cozy atmosphere, ample parking! I can't speak on the food, I have not ate here yet. The menu is a QR code & you can even order from there or from the server as well instead of needing to go up to the bar.

I reviewed this business in 2020, but realized it needed to be updated. I had a great experience the first time I went, but had a few rough experiences in 2021/22, so we finally made it back. I know there have been several projects the past few years that made space limited that are completed and possibly some change in staffing, to make it much better!We had an incredible experience when we were here. This is one of my absolute favorite patio spaces in KC. Honestly, there were several things happening in KC on the night we went, and I don't know how people didn't come and support this business after those events. However, it let me get some pictures of the space! The staff was incredible, since it wasn't super busy, they were super accommodating. We could order through a QR code while we were outside, or wait for our waiter to check on us. The food was great and quick to come to our table. The burgers are fantastic and are one of the biggest reasons we wanted to return! They are super good and are definitely worth ordering! The spent grain from the brewery goes to the farmers that they get the beef from to make this food so yummy...which I find super interesting!We had a friend in town and this offered us a space to hang out, enjoy drinks, patio weather, and have a super relaxing evening. Again, huge shoutout to all of the staff from 10/07/2023 for making our Saturday night a beautiful representation of Kansas City! We appreciated your business and won't hesitate to come visit again!

This is a great brewery and the best I visited in KC. I had the pleasure of talking with the owner and the brewer and learned a lot about the beers and the KC beer scene. The fish and chips were also very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating options and the environment is very comfortable. The beers I tried:Wheat (excellent)Biscuit (great)Marzen (very good)Chocolate Stout (great)

Oh my Gaaaaaa. I had the BEST afternoon / early evening here. This spot is a gem and I want to come back every time I'm in KC from here to forever. Food was amazing and drinks were the best and when can I come back already?
