The Bar West Plaza

We come here to watch KU and Chiefs games. We usually order the buffalo chicken sandwich as it is always really good. The Baked potato skins are very thick, bland and dry. They need to offer sour cream or a side of salsa to help flavor them more. We chose a southwest burger this time with no bun and cottage cheese for extra protein. It was really dry and I had to order some ranch to help give it flavor. The Fries are really good here. Good place to sit and watch games and have drinks. Just regular bar food like burgers, wraps, and sandwiches.

The bartender (Tyson, I think) was super friendly and nice and gave suggestions on the menu to eat. The ambiance is quiet (I was there on a Sunday) but the bar has plenty of TVs to watch sports and other programs. I had the fried chicken salad and unfortunately, it wasn't the best. The avocado was super fresh and bright, but the fried chicken was underseasoned and the bacon was a tad bit burnt so it gave the salad a bitter taste when I got a bite of bacon. They have a garlic buttermilk ranch dressing that was pretty good, and heavy on the garlic, so I got a regular ranch to balance it out. I did enjoy some curly fries on the side and the prices were very reasonable for the food. If you're visiting and on foot, this place sits up a very steep hill from the Country Plaza, so bring your best step!

There are several locations of The Bar all over the local KC area and I finally got a chance to see why there are multiple locations.I went for a work lunch in the Country Club Plaza area and it was not busy based on the number of customers. However, I saw our waiter served us and worked behind the bar so he was constantly table touching while keeping us taken care of.All five of us ordered burgers/ sandwich from the 2 Classic Pub Burger, Classic Club, Impossible Burger, and a Bacon Jam Burger and everyone finished their burgers and sides without an issue and complaints. I would recommend as a extreme causal burger joint that's reasonably priced with no extra pizzazz.

I had been to The Bar West Plaza a few times with friends to watch a game and drink some beers. After going to The Bar with my partner it's now a regular dinner spot. It's a big place with a lot of seating so I've never had a problem finding a seat or table. I love the food and the prices though. The lettuce wraps were great. The chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes is pretty good too and the price is hard to match.

Decent dining experience, however it's never a great sign when my lunch partner and I both questioned if the place was open on a Monday afternoon during prime lunch hours. From the outside The Bar looked dark, and from the inside, it looked empty, so at least it was easy for us to seat ourselves at a high top near the window and wait for our server. Once he arrived, it took a while for our waters, which was odd since there was only one other table dining, but we brushed it off. After locating the lunch special menu (conveniently on the table versus on the actual menu) , which there is one for every day of the week, we both decided on wraps which were a few bucks off. The restaurant was quiet with little to no noise and no one at all sitting at the actual namesake bar itself. But, the food arrived super fast, and the wraps came to the table loaded and stuffed to the brim. We both got chicken varieties, but mine was more of a Californian take with avocado and Chipotle mayo, whereas my dining companion went with a classic chicken Ceasar. Both were equally delicious; they were simple but hit the spot. The coleslaw side was also a clear winner with a creamy base instead of a vinegar mixture. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this restaurant again, much preferring its sister establishment over on the Kansas side off Johnson Drive, but once the order was placed to the kitchen the food came out fast and didn't disappoint for a quick casual tasty lunch! I would say The Bar West Plaza definitely deserves more praise than they seem to be getting. Also, if you are looking for somewhere that is pretty much guaranteed to be a less crowded option The Bar would be a good choice. My only critique with the wrap was that it would have been taken to the next level if the soft supple flour tortilla could have been grilled to give it a slightly crispy exterior crunch but, all in all a very good showing for a humble chicken and veggie wrap.

Best Philly Sandwich in KC.Wonderful bartender as well.TYSON. He also works at the PV location .

I hope no one finds out about this spot. Love it too much. Nice place, classy people, great food.

Used to be a great neighborhood bar with friendly staff, patrons and semi decent food until recently. Under new management and this has changed for the worse. Thought I'd try it again for the customer appreciation "event". Pathetic. Asked to speak to a manager because my bill was massively incorrect and come to find out, all the servers started that day. So to no fault of their own, had literally no idea what they were doing. Ah, but where was the manager, Amy? She was sitting at the bar taking shots while her team drown with a packed house. When a line began at the the bar, she was kind enough to get up to make room. So kind that she actually grabbed her belongings, put them in her car and left! She must've had plans. To Amy, and all other decision makers at this operation (if you will).. We are unequivocally unimpressed. P.s. All your drafts are flat

The bar is my go to spot when I want to watch a game outside of my house. They have a billion TV's playing all of the football games. The food is a bit better than standard bar food which is good. The only downside about this place is the service can be hit or miss.

Great bar with good vibes. Drinks are decently priced and cold. Food is cheap and bartenders Ashton was great! Highly recommend
