Went with my friends, the supposed owner decided to kick us out because we were eating from the dart tournament food, we thought it was for everyone! RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS owner and dart tournament people ran us out! We were embarrassed and put out, I can't believe there are people out there like that!!!!
The worst gay bar ever! GO ELSEWHERE!!!!! The self proclaimed "owner" decided to lay his hands on my husband, because he ate from the food for the dart tournament! The sad part is we had been there many many times before, but the guy who decided to commit assault against my husband, had food out for the lame dart tournament, when he announced it was for the tournament only, he became rude and laid his hands on my husband. Became rude and disrespectful, cursed and cussed at my husband and we had to leave! HOMOPHOBIC! they are for only the locals, god forbid you are not a "LOCAL". They will let you know and ask you to leave, GAY OR NOT!!!
Bartender who said she is the GM was terrible and RUDE, she has NO idea about booking bands, she must have lied her ass off to get the job. They should check her past employment
Dont waste your time and money in this place. The overpriced drinks,poor service, and horrible menu. Take your money somewhere else.These people dont know how to run an a classy business.
My Fiance and I were very excited to have our wedding reception here next March. Beautiful space, great view, excellent food and a 5-star wedding coordinator. We signed a contract with 2000 Grand on November 3, 2012, however the contract was signed not by our event coordinator, but by the owner. We knew nothing of this because we never saw the contract after the owner signed it...You could say we didn't mind because we were still in a pre-wedding bliss, full of fun planning for the best day of our lives. Needless to say, the bliss has worn off.
On November 12, 2012, we went in for a tasting to select the entree for the reception. Our great event coordinator, who we really liked and trusted, told us then and there that she was leaving and introduced us to her replacement. We were okay with it at the start, but after 5 days of no returned emails we knew this was a fail. We didn't trust the new coordinator to get the job done so we tried to pull out of the contract on November 21, 2012 by citing a clause that said something to the effect of "no changes are binding except in writing". But, to our dismay, the contract wasn't even signed by our coordinator, it was signed by the owner (someone the internet tells us is quite the bully). Remember the wedding bliss? Yeah we had no idea.
Another interesting point here is that, we asked them to take us off their calendar earlier this week so they can begin to re-lease the space, and sustain no damages by our situation. They refused and claimed they won't take us off until we pay our contract cancellation fee, which I will explain in the next paragraph. This is just silly business practice that can be simplified into plain-old bullying. They know that we are gone. They also know they won't make money if they don't re-lease the space. But they insist on hurting their own business to collect a measly $2,000 from a young engaged couple, us, who want out because they acted quite unprofessionally.
Long story short, lots of emails, a few interesting phone calls and some heartburn later, 2000 Grand delivered an ultimatum. Either we pay the 25% of the contract amount (which was a clause in the contract that we understand, but we claim the whole agreement is voided by their unprofessional actions) or they hand us over to the collection rats.
I would strongly advise any prospective event-hosting people out there that even though the space is good, the food is good and the folks seem nice, the current management here can be accurately described as crooks. I hope this post encourages you to make a wise decision of where you take your business.
The bands are great but the bar is extremely smokey with poor ventilation. Make it non smoking and would go there often.
Worst restaurant I've ever eaten at!!! Service was terrible, sangria didn't have any alcohol, food was bland and over priced. To top it off the restaurant had my car towed from a reserved spot WHILE I WAS EATING INSIDE!!
Management was completely inept at resolving their mistake. I tried to contact owner Casey Adams who has been completely unresponsive. I'm going after them through the BBB (Better Biz Bureau).
NEVER EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT!!!
Waitress /bartender completely ignores everyone,, unless she's showing baby pictures to a select group of people,, she brought me the wrong drink after finally getting her attention,, and she tried to say I said I wanted the other drink,, I am one of those people who slowly says DIET coke, she never checked back with us, and the cook had to bring us our food after I heard him ding the bell three times,,, she just kept talking, she wasn't working at all,, then,,, at 3:30 am I woke with food poisoning,, no question... I could barely make it to the toilet, and was leaning into it,, I had no strength,, I would stay clear of this place,,, I have no idea what was wrong with the tacos I ate, or the cheese nacho dip,, but this place will never get me go back,, don't trust them with the food you put into your mouth,,, I was nothing but positive, and tried to make every excuse for all this until I started getting sick,, HORRIBLE!
NOT ANYMORE it must be an old article.
Great Place to totally avoid. Super slow service ( 1 1/2 hrs from being seated to actual food arriving) Inexperienced waitress who lacked focus or direction and an indifferent manager. Food was medicore and not even close to warm and appealing.
Wrong combination AVOID
The DJ was terrible and didn't play toward his crowd at all. There were only maybe 40 people there at any one point of time and no one would dance because of the horrid song selection.
6 People stabbed there back in 10/08.
Wouldn't be caught dead stepping a foot inside that horrible place! Not worth risking losing your life.
Now that she and Christine are not there, there isn't a reason to go back
$8 a shot.of disarrono really when a 750 ml bottle is only $21.39 smh p&l only charges $3 a shot... Will never return I will spend my money at icons next door...
Chad Waldrop is a dishonest business owner. Do not support this deadbeat's clubs. He's a liar and a cheat.
Chad Waldrop is a loser that nevers pays his bills. He has been beat up several times for this and is about to be again.
Place to drink and watch the " Glory days " former East/ Jayhawk wanna - be' binge. Food unpredictable, surly wait staff more concerned with clearing out the tab and getting on. Could ah, would ah - with the right staff. Dark, silly but a place to go when desperate for an overpriced beer.
I have a bruised arm, scraped knee, dislocated shoulder, one friend was choked and another was pushed on the sidewalk. All of this because a friend of mine couldn't physically fit into a single file line. After my friend was called a fat guy by the bouncer downstairs he decided to leave but by then it was too late and the enraged bouncer grabbed him and threw him against the wall while the bouncer lead started to choke him. When I tried to ask the enraged bouncer his name I was lifted off the ground by the same two bouncers and physically thrown out of the door. Police were called by us but refused to fill out a formal report and were completely unhelpful, at one point even going as far as defending the bouncers and calling me a smartass.
Nothing Gay about this gay bar. Negative unfriendly bartenders seem to be the rule there. Read reviews before visiting Kansas City, unfortunately the reviews on Yelp were way off. These people must be paid to give such glowing review of this place. Not only was there a lot of attitude on the part of the staff but the place is kind of a pieced together dump. Least friendly of the places that I visited in kansas city by far....
Re: “Thirsty Ernie's”
Tell me WHY we have the immature tall blonde, Lindsey chasing and screaming at her boyfriend throughout entire bar and out on patio?. Last 2 times Ive been there she is overly spoken on she doesnt know where the "f" he is. Yelling across the bar at the girls on her demands and letting them fully aware SHE IS IN CHARGE TONIGHT. Is she in charge? If thats the case, WOW! You guys need a little help in hiring. Her professionalism needs a crash course. So much back and forth between her and i think his name is Chuck. Its like cat and mouse chase with them two.
I was there last Thursday when I heard the short dark headed bar tender with glasses there let a group of maybe 8 people tell a guy at the door she wasnt able to serve because they were closing....understandably it was bad out and we were leaving. However, she told a handful of girls across the bar know they are not drinking enough to keep the bar open and paying her salary. I was sitting at the bar and overheard and saw this.. The girls were angry and came back in. Dont know what all was said but overheard some when they came back out. Felt bad for the 2 that were working with the bar tender girl as they seemed to wanna correct the concerns. Felt like the bar tender could of handled things better but didn't.
