I work in the Plaza so we often come here for happy hours and it is great every time! Our servers are extremely attentive in keeping our drinks full and checking in on us, they have good happy hour deals and very good food options! We recently had a reservation for ~30 people and our server was incredible. Also food-wise, you have to get the sweet potato fries with the marshmallow fluff!

The bar is my go to spot when I want to watch a game outside of my house. They have a billion TV's playing all of the football games. The food is a bit better than standard bar food which is good. The only downside about this place is the service can be hit or miss.

I hope no one finds out about this spot. Love it too much. Nice place, classy people, great food.

There are several locations of The Bar all over the local KC area and I finally got a chance to see why there are multiple locations. I went for a work lunch in the Country Club Plaza area and it was not busy based on the number of customers. However, I saw our waiter served us and worked behind the bar so he was constantly table touching while keeping us taken care of. All five of us ordered burgers/ sandwich from the 2 Classic Pub Burger, Classic Club, Impossible Burger, and a Bacon Jam Burger and everyone finished their burgers and sides without an issue and complaints. I would recommend as a extreme causal burger joint that's reasonably priced with no extra pizzazz.

We come here to watch KU and Chiefs games. We usually order the buffalo chicken sandwich as it is always really good. The Baked potato skins are very thick, bland and dry. They need to offer sour cream or a side of salsa to help flavor them more. We chose a southwest burger this time with no bun and cottage cheese for extra protein. It was really dry and I had to order some ranch to help give it flavor. The Fries are really good here. Good place to sit and watch games and have drinks. Just regular bar food like burgers, wraps, and sandwiches.

I had been to The Bar West Plaza a few times with friends to watch a game and drink some beers. After going to The Bar with my partner it's now a regular dinner spot. It's a big place with a lot of seating so I've never had a problem finding a seat or table. I love the food and the prices though. The lettuce wraps were great. The chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes is pretty good too and the price is hard to match.

Best Philly Sandwich in KC. Wonderful bartender as well. TYSON. He also works at the PV location .

Decent dining experience, however it's never a great sign when my lunch partner and I both questioned if the place was open on a Monday afternoon during prime lunch hours. From the outside The Bar looked dark, and from the inside, it looked empty, so at least it was easy for us to seat ourselves at a high top near the window and wait for our server. Once he arrived, it took a while for our waters, which was odd since there was only one other table dining, but we brushed it off. After locating the lunch special menu (conveniently on the table versus on the actual menu) , which there is one for every day of the week, we both decided on wraps which were a few bucks off. The restaurant was quiet with little to no noise and no one at all sitting at the actual namesake bar itself. But, the food arrived super fast, and the wraps came to the table loaded and stuffed to the brim. We both got chicken varieties, but mine was more of a Californian take with avocado and Chipotle mayo, whereas my dining companion went with a classic chicken Ceasar. Both were equally delicious; they were simple but hit the spot. The coleslaw side was also a clear winner with a creamy base instead of a vinegar mixture. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this restaurant again, much preferring its sister establishment over on the Kansas side off Johnson Drive, but once the order was placed to the kitchen the food came out fast and didn't disappoint for a quick casual tasty lunch! I would say The Bar West Plaza definitely deserves more praise than they seem to be getting. Also, if you are looking for somewhere that is pretty much guaranteed to be a less crowded option The Bar would be a good choice. My only critique with the wrap was that it would have been taken to the next level if the soft supple flour tortilla could have been grilled to give it a slightly crispy exterior crunch but, all in all a very good showing for a humble chicken and veggie wrap.
