Jack Gage’s American Tavern

5031 Main St., Kansas City, Mo.
Tavern (n.) An establishment licensed to sell alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises. Well, if a place to drink is what you’re looking for, skip Gage’s, because it’s a glorified restaurant replete with families that have at least 2.5 small screaming children apiece. There is a small bar, but if it’s busy, good luck getting any service. Someone needs to get a crane and deposit this place back in the Power and Light District. If you like snooty and overpriced, you’ll love it. But it does not belong across the street and around the block from such West Plaza staples as The Peanut, Accurso’s and Pizza 51. Hell, sipping tea and eating petit fours with the old ladies across the street at Andre’s would be more fun than waiting 20 minutes for an inch of wine that costs $7.
