Best New Bar
Harry's Country Club
Over the past year, many stellar bars have opened in places that aren't Westport or the Plaza (Bar Natasha, Bistro 303 and Bulldog, to name a few). So it was especially hard to determine the Best New Bar in KC. After much deliberation, though, we had no choice but to go with Harry's Country Club. Harry Murphy's honky-tonk joint in the River Market has all the hallmarks of an outstanding drinking establishment. Naturally, there's a friendly staff (which includes Murphy's charming kids, Rose and Harry), a great jukebox (which contains a terrific mix of Patsy Cline, Sinatra and local crooners Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys) and an unpretentious air. Add to it Harry's great drinks and happy-hour specials ($3 for a miniburger, a quesadilla, lil' smokies or a bologna sandwich and a yard beer -- i.e., PBR, Schlitz, Falstaff, Hamm's or Old Style) and one of the best patios downtown ... well, you can see why we're wild about Harry's.
