Chicago's — Restaurant in Kansas City

Being a mailman is no easy feat. Rain, sleet, snow, or shine, I'm out there delivering the goods. And let me tell you, after a long day of pounding the pavement, dodging grumpy dogs, and wrestling with overloaded mailbags, I need a place to unwind and "deliver" myself from the daily grind. Thankfully, I've discovered the perfect "address" for relaxation: Chicago's. This place is a real "special delivery," tucked away like a forgotten package at the bottom of a mail sack. The atmosphere is as warm and inviting as a handwritten letter, with a friendly staff that always goes the "extra postage." Speaking of going the extra mile, Andi the bartender is a true "first-class" act. She's always got a smile as bright as a priority mail sticker and a kind word, even when I'm feeling a little "stamped" out. She mixes a mean cocktail with the precision of a mail sorting machine and her knowledge of whiskey is so extensive, it could fill a whole zip code. She truly "delivers" on every visit. The drinks at Chicago's are "letter perfect," with a wide selection of beers on tap and a cocktail menu that's longer than a line at the post office on tax day. Whether you're in the mood for something "classic" like an Old Fashioned or something a little more "express delivery" like a shot of tequila, they've got you covered. And the prices? Well, let's just say they won't leave you feeling like you've been "postage due." Now, I know what you're thinking: "What does a mailman know about good bars? Shouldn't he be busy 'sorting' out his route?" But trust me, I deliver to all sorts of places, from dive bars smelling like stale "dead letters" to fancy lounges where you need a "return receipt" just to get in. Chicago's is the perfect "package deal" – it's got a casual, "parcel" post vibe, but it's also classy and well-maintained. It's the kind of place where you can "address" your thirst and unwind, without feeling like you're in a stuffy, pretentious "mailroom." So, if you're looking for a great place to "stamp" your approval in Kansas City, I highly recommend checking out Chicago's. Tell Andi the mailman sent you, and she'll take good care of you. And who knows, you might even catch me there, enjoying a well-deserved "post-work" drink and "sorting" through my thoughts. Just don't ask me to deliver any mail – I'm...

Always have a nice time here, I definitely prefer smaller bars. I've only ran into one instance where a couple was fighting which kind of killed the vibe. Bartenders are really nice and easy to chat up, I've spent a lot of time in this bar although I may not quite remember how much time. I also really enjoy their house made shots, I'd recommend trying them all and always get one before the night begins. The only downside is the parking, no actual...

Very welcoming! I was visiting KC from Dallas over the weekend. My phone died while I was at the Slaps and I needed to uber to the airport, so stopped in Chicago's for a drink and a charge. It can be awkward going into a neighborhood bar when you aren't local but the bartender (I think his name is Kyle) was very warm and welcoming! Reasonably priced too, especially compared to...
