Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Independence

Brooke was the most wonderful server in the bar area. She made excellent recommendations on food, cocktails and wine! Loved the holiday ambiance in the vibrant bar area. The food was amazing as always. Thank you for making our annual holiday adventure in the Plaza one to remember.

We always stop here when we are in town! Their drinks are our favorite and the food is also good. I think The Lavendar Brown is my favorite cocktail that I’ve ever had

Grunauer is one of our favorite spots in Kansas City! The service is outstanding - they always go the extra mile to see that we're happy. The food is delicious 10/10. Already looking forward to our next visit.

From the moment we checked in - and we were early, we were greeted, and taken to our table. We were the first in the room for the evening. Our waiter greeted us, and quickly gave us a cocktail menu, and full menus. I explained that I had not eaten lunch and was famished. He literally suggested a great lemondrop cocktail to take off the edge, after serving some waters, I ordered his suggestion and was completely amazed. it was great! and I ordered the cheese and charcuterie board to start. Our guests arrived and they ordered a cocktail and he suggested that he go over the menu with us. I had the Special of the House which is a filet, covered in Blue Cheese and Figs. I also had a great small ceasar salad, and the house soup which is a corn and crab bisque. SO GOOD! Our entrees came on time, after we had finished our soup, salad and cheese board, I ordered a glass of wine with dinner and it was perfect. He suggested a dessert and we were too full. So happy that we continue to go to this Kansas City legendary memory - we will be back again.

The half-price prime rib has become our go-to Monday date. As usual it was delicious and we took a good bit home. Our server Austin was attentive and accomodated our several requests quickly and well.
