Had several drinks and complained about them. They were weak/watered down. Drank all night, no buzz, the service was slow at best, but they sure didn't forget to charge me for any of those weak drinks!
Just a bar. We went there for something different but it was nothing special. Started out with soup and it was really good . The motel advertisment said voted #1 pizza in KC. So we ordered the all meat large. BIG MISTAKE! Wow we each couldn't even finish 1 piece. It came to the table smelling like garlic. Which can be ok but after taking a bite the taste had way to much pepper and it also was only half cooked. We paid the bill but shouldnt have and left. Went to steak and shake instead. Wasted evening.
I always go to Luna. Last night I was there, I simply opened a tab and came back to find that it had been closed by someone other than myself. My card was clearly signed for by someone that did not sign my name or any name in any human language for that matter. I was yelled at and pushed out of the door and told by the manager that "I have no idea where your card is". I will never return here and I hope no one else does and has this same experience. Luna has taken no responsibility and will continue to do this to the people that support them and give them their money.

I have been going to the Falloon for years, but this is the first time I have been since Highwood Properties had some input on the renovation and menu changes took place. They have made changes to the interior and menu that were intended to make the classic sports bar and grill to appear more upscale. Some of the interior changes I don't mind but the menu changes were a hugh disapointment. Having a rueben sandwich without thousand island dressing or something similar??? The rueben comes with mustard, in my book I call that a pastromi sandwich with mustard, not a rueben! My bigest complaint, besides the complete sellout of the Falloon to what Highwood Properties excecutives want the Plaza resturants to be, is the fact that they can no longer cook an old fasion classic bacon cheese burger properly. I ordered my burger medium, it came out gray, no pink in sight, it inevietibly was very dry. The bacon was nice and thick, but hard as a rock and dry as card board, when I broke a piece off dust fell to he plate! The bun was nothing special, but sticking with the theme it was overly dry. Finally, the fries, were good, but mostly burnt up and hard. Its too bad, maybe the Falloon had no choice but to make these changes in order to stay on the Plaza, but the least they could do is hire a competent kitchen staff to maintain some level of decent food. Next time maybe I should just go to Blanc burgers or 810 Zone to get a decent burger, they didn't sell out thier menu to Highwoods, at least not yet!
First the food was horrible, I order the Jerk Steak , very dry I left most of it on the plate. Then the service was horrible , we waited for everything too long the waiter kept apologizing for the horrible service. At the end of the meal their POS system went down several times. My wife had to leave so we would not be late picking up our child from practice. Then they had the nerve to charge me a automatic tip of 20%. And last but not least they charged me several times because their POS system was broken and when I called them about it , they made it my responsiblity said I will have to go to my bank to get this corrected. So please don't go there Don't waste your time or money.
This is the worst bar I've ever been to. The place is dirty and the owner is a jerk! Dont waste your time here if you're in Lees Summit.....there are plenty of other bars to go to where the service is better.
I was partying for my birthday tonight. My birthday is actually two days from now, however I had just played a gig in the area and was looking for somewhere else interesting to continue my night.
I was carded at the front door, as expected for a club that was still serving past 1:30.
I proceeded to the bar where I was greeted by an unpleasant fat man with a baseball cap and a brooklyn attitude. I asked him a simple question "what is the cheapest beer?" He gave me flak until the point where I began to become uncomfortable. So at that point I was quoted as saying " jesus christ just tell me what the cheapest beer is!" Then instantly he began to hassle me more about whether Id been carded then he demanded me thrown out due to MY lip... I am not a confrontational person by any means and for me to get kicked out of a bar for asking questions that any qualified bartender should know and answer happily is ridiculous I have no facebook or myspace and I am never one to complain but this genuinely irritated me. If he wanted to impress the other heavy women around me, Im sure he could have found a better way to do it. I just wanted to drink a few brews and hang out upstairs and play some pool or something! The bouncer did escort us out. However if it were up to him im sure hed have a shot or two at that sweaty disgusting excuse for a bartender. He was friendly and I told him he needed a raise. If im the one being kicked out they are just creating issues for themselves.
I have heard some great music there and I hate to say it but I have had other problems there. It COULD be a great venue however. they just need to pull the weeds.
If you are just dying to try the worst shit that Mexico produces and have no desire to taste an authentic recipe from Mexico... then by all means, try out this dump on 40 highway. It's not even near the Westside where all of the Mexican community lives. It's an abomination to Mexican food and should be considered armed and dangerous with food poisoning. DO NOT ever go near a shit hole slum like this place unless you have a death wish.
I had a similar experience when the spiked haired guy who was sitting at the bar came up and told our group of guys not to talk to the waitress anymore. I'm sure he was the boy friend.
I was there last Friday to see my friend's band play. We were all having a great time, until the waitresses boy friend came up to us and told us not to talk to her etc. etc. The mood of our whole group changes in a very negative way.
It's not a good practice what so ever to have your waitresses' boy friend's present at the bar. I will never go here again.
Owners are worthless pieces of shit who screw every employee that has ever worked there. Management also fucks every new girl that works there. Yes, every SINGLE manager. I hope some of your wives read this. The owner Shane is a raging tool who runs one of the shadiest bars ever. Hey, at least he gets laid regularly. Also, some girls claim that he has given them herpes. Think about working here ladies. Also, notice on craigslist that they are ALWAYS hiring. That should not be a good sign. Turnover is the sign that maybe it's not the employees ALL the time? It is the management to claim at this dump. Also, Shane's dad Mort is a total thief as well. Fuck you cashew.
The food is poor. Inconsistent and does not taste good . We will not be back.
It pretty much sucks at this bar. It's boring, same old - same old stuff. There are much better places in the KC area.
These people are crooks! I would STRONGLY suggest you pay cash anytime you go. DO NOT RUN A TAB - they will charge you for drinks you did not order. DO NOT RUN YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT card, they will run it for more than what your bill was for. AND their mixed drinks are over priced.
Unfortuantly we has a similar experieince days before! To those interested in having an event or a wedding reception at 2000 Grand (The Cashew) please think twice! My Husband and I loved the Cashew. We loved the space, the view, the food was awesome, and they were flexible dealing with us all the way up to the wedding. It seemed to be the perfect spot to have an all inclusive downtown reception with an urban feel that had competing prices to other similar spaces. The problems we had occurred more after the wedding and with management. During the event it was HOT! They say the air conditioner was working which if this was true it was completely inadequate. With all the people in the space and all the windows it was burning up! All my guest on one side of the room were sweating and several of our older family members ended up having to leave early due to the heat. They did try to correct the situation by putting out large industrial fans that helped the heat but completely took away from the décor I had been working on for months prior. The second issue we dealt with was the freight elevator, which was the only access to the space except for three flights of stairs. At some point during the night the freight elevator broke which we were assured would work to help w people with disabilities which included my father, who paid for the event! Instead of trying to compensate for the elevator being broken they chose to ignore it and we were to figure out an exit strategy on our own. Not only were family members that needed assistance not able to leave the reception safely all the decorations we had brought for the reception also had to be carried down the stairs. They didn’t help with this until they were inconvenienced because people were going through the bar area with supplies. Management failed to provide alternative plans or help with either situation. These things could have been smoothed over easily because in the end we had a good time, but once mentioned to management a week after we were met with defense. The event coordinator was very apologetic and recognized the wrongs that occurred, but according to her, the owner and manager saw it very differently! Instead of offering some kind of concessions they put it all back on us and made some extreme and untrue accusations! This place is by no means cheap and we expected it to be perfect and when it wasn’t there was no real apology made. Only after meeting with them and much deliberation did they begrudgingly offer a gift card to the place. At this point it was too late; if they had offered this immediately we would have felt differently. The tactics they used to defend not offering any compensation were completely unprofessional and insulting. Please be aware of their poor customer service and lack of attention to customer satisfaction (more so with the owner and management) before booking this space!
Don't go here! We are regulars who have gone here weekly for the past year. The day of my Bachelorette Party they canceled our reservation of the VIP room because they had double booked it. This, even after we had called twice to confirm our reservation and done so in person in the weeks prior to the event. We told everyone in my party that we had the VIP room and planned the evening around it. Though it is within walking distance from our homes and was our trusted neighborhood bar, we'll no longer be spending our money here or ending our weekend excursions at this bar.
Wow! I'm shocked at this place. Doorman took my beer from my hand as he chanted "n--ger move on, n--ger move on". Absolutely despicable for 2010. I'm still shaking from the shock of hearing that (surreal to hear the n-word). Gusto doorman also called some other blacks "spics". I dont know what that means or what he was trying to get at... I'm still in awe...I'm sickened by this place. Please don't ever judge KC based on this ignorance and racism.
disgusting. disgusting. disgusting.

Sports Bar Redefined - If your definition of a Sports bar is a good looking wait staff, plenty of TVs, and cold beer then Side Pockets advertising is dead on accurate. Their wait staff is a bunch of rude, lazy, fat chicks that serve almost cold beer. The TVs are ancient too. I have a new slogan for them. Side Pockets – A Study in Bad Management.

My 2 sisters and I just went there for one of our birthdays. We did't have a reservation but there were many empty tables. The hostess asked us if we could be done in an hour or if we wanted to wait for a table. We said we would try to be done. The waiter was instructed to stay close by our table and make sure he took our order timely. after just 45 minutes, the waiter brought over the check and and the host came with him to tell us our time was up. We asked if we could be moved to one of the many empty tables. we were told they were all reserved. They were very rude and nasty and made sure to embarrass us and make us leave our table even though there were many empty tables when we left. The explanation was that they were all reserved. Until tonight that was one of my favorite places. I will never eat there again because of how badly we were treated. When we tried to complain to the girl at the register, she put her hand in our faces and said "good night ladies"..... I am very sad and disappointed.

Re: “The News Room - CLOSED”
Will never go there again!
Bartender took my debit card and said he'd open a tab. Later, he claimed I'd never given him one and had no tab.
When I tried to talk to him about it, he got pissy and accused me of yelling at him b/c I was too drunk...I'd had half of one drink, and was not yelling at all.
I paid for two more drinks with my other card, and tipped him extra to try to smooth things over.
I WAS CHARGED $31 FOR TWO DRINKS (bottom shelf) on the card he claimed he didn't have!!!
I didn't authorize payment, didn't sign anything, didn't tip anything, and reported the card lost that night, and yet SOMEHOW a mysterious disappearing tab that was supposed to be $11 became $31 on a card I never got back!
That required a forged signature!
$20 of bank fraud is still bank fraud! NEVER trust a crook to pour your drinks!
Fuck that place.
