4 Must-Try Restaurants For Happy Hour in Kansas City
Just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean you have to skip out on Happy Hour. Nothing can replace meeting up with a small group of friends, having your favorite drinks, and relishing in the little moments.
At LeasingKC, we pride ourselves on being local Kansas City experts who scavenge the metro for hotspots you don’t want to miss. To find your next restaurant for happy hour in Kansas City, just keep reading and we’ve got you covered with some of our faves (from cheapest to most expensive) 😉
Bar K
There’s happy hour with friends, and then there’s happy hour with furry friends. Bar K is Kansas City’s own bar, restaurant, and dog park combo. If you’d like to visit anytime you want, you’ll have to purchase a membership, but there are also daily passes starting at $12 for the first dog. Oh, and by the way, you don’t have to have a dog to visit, any dog-lover can stop by (for free, of course). The restaurant menu includes locally sourced food and even hand-made options for your dog! No seriously, you can even buy chicken risotto specially made for canines.

KC Taco Company
We’re not going to say KC Taco Company has the most authentic tacos… but they do have some of the most unique ones. From Spicy Ahi Tuna Tacos to Cowboy Junkie Burritos, their diverse, south-of-the-border-inspired menu is full of creative delights you won’t find anywhere else. And for all of you margarita lovers, they have tons of “Rita” options to fit anyone’s taste. Even if you can’t make it for happy hour, you can always join in on Taco Tuesday when you can get two tacos for $8.

Char Bar
You could always go to a fast food joint for a basic cheeseburger, but why do that when you can get an amazing one at Char Bar in Westport? Of course, they don’t just have burgers; you can choose from their array of smokehouse sandwiches and barbecue. Once you’re finished wining and dining, head on over to the beer garden for a quick yard game. How’s that for an after-work happy hour?
