We are located just east of the well known KCTV tower in Midtown Kansas City at the corner of 31st St and Gillham Plaza.

Beverage packages

Packages start at $20 per person for the Hosted Beer and Wine package, with premium options also available. We provide trained, licensed bartenders determined by the number of bartenders required for adequate service (based on the size of your event). We offer two options in regard to bartender gratuity: if you allow tip jars to be out the evening of your event, you do not owe a fee. If you choose not to allow tip jars, we then charge a  5% gratuity fee based on your bar package total. Beverage packages are priced per person for guests over 21 years of age.
