Finally, the Gossip Inn is open again! It’s all cleaned up which seems so very WRONG, but don’t worry a new bar under new management requires time to gather dirt, dust and barnacles. This bar has been here since, 1937. Ike’s grandfather drank at this bar, and so does Ike. That makes it cool. Swing in to support the place and get a drink from the smokey hot Latina bartender!

Dad’s is the mini-sub of freaky dive bars! I never got sea sick, but I did have the constant feeling of being under water. The bar was rocking and swaying or I had a very wobbly bar stool? Could have been the cheap shots of Jamison, but I am putting the blame squarely on the atmosphere of a great new dive find. A little treasure that guarantees a doppelganger sighting for every 1 out of 5 visits.

Newest KC Martini Bar???
Drive by number 1. . . “Maybe not tonight.”
Drive by number 2. . . . “I don’t know. Kind of scary?! Where’re Brock and Lumpy when you need them?”
Drive by #3 What the HELL – we’re going in!”
This is by far the greatest new dive bar in KC, second only to our home away from home, Buzzard Beach. Sure it’s hidden location and obvious biker theme make it an obvious location for run-of-the-mill Johnson Countians to avoid, so it’s perfect for the rest of us. It’s like finding the failed yet still secret midwest chapter of drug-addled Skull and Bones members hiding out in a well-stocked grotto under the Board of Trade in KC. This little surprise is stashed conviently away and is going to be the next big thing for middle- to low-income trendy alcoholics! The Bon Jovi/Poison/Winger medleys fresh from the DJ rock!

This is an O’Dowds for Plaza-phobes. A little less character, and no chance of striking up convo with Tim Grunhard in the pisser. There is a patio in lieu of a deck, but the same tasty Irish concoctions at
emergency-ATM-run prices. Strong drinks create a fertile atmosphere for picking up Blue Valley divorcees, and the private booths will shelter your Guinness-numbed ass from further humiliation. Bring
friends. (special thanks to “g”)
Coming soon to a strip mall near you.
If you’re a forty-plus male with random bills of demoninations over twenty falling out of your pockets, welcome aboard you sexy beast. If not, enjoy the dry but cheap chicken and average sized, if even that, breasts. Boobies are great for distracting you from things like personality, overpriced pitchers, gaudy flair and any real menu to speak of. But say what you will, the wings still kick ass. The Overland Park location is the best of the three, and come in the evening if you wanna see their A-game. For the most faux-flirt time, sit at the bar, and it helps to pretend you’re a producer or a photographer. How’s the beer? It’s did-you-see-that-ass-alicious.

Just across the street from KU Med Center, this used to be a Texas Tom’s, but then it was Downing’s, and now it’s a KU bar. After Downings, I have still refused to go check this place out. Which is sad. I can walk there from home, but I’d rather risk the DUI. Oh, um, there’s a really cheap lunch buffet, if you like such things.
She broke out the Prince albums and started talking naughty. What can I say?
