Best dive bar in KCK!!! This is a must if you are in the area. A place that is taken out of time and dropped in the present. If you’re looking for a place that serves PBR, Hamm’s and Highlife then this is your it. The friendly atmosphere and great service will keep you drinking all night. Make sure to take advantage of the outdoor seating and fire pit. Highly recommended!!!!

This is my favorite bar in KC. If you like a dive bar atmosphere, but also like when the bathroom doors lock and things are well taken care of then this place is for you. There's always something interesting going on, good people to meet and great times to be had. Go to the bar, have a hundred beers...be a man.

I loved it. It was better than CATS. I want to go drink there again and again.

Top Dive Bar in KCK. Great atmosphere, inside and out. Comfortable stools at the bar. Big Games always on TV. Delicious Food Pop-ups. Just about the friendliest bartenders a Dive Bar can have. Great shows - from touring acts to my favorite locals. Cool as Owner who befriends even the solo wall flowers. Will always return.

Love this bar!!! Live music, comedy shows and one of the best patios in KC. Lots of cool vintage memorabilia and historical artifacts throughout the bar, Kansas City history. Great staff and vibes, Logan has created a really amazing space in Strawberry Hill.

Gritty in the best way, cozy, no-frills, and packed with personality. Killer staff, cold Hamm’s, Pool, and a back patio that feels like your buddy’s backyard—if your buddy had really good taste in vibes. The bartenders are like family, the crowd’s a mix of locals and curious wanderers, and there’s always something happening: live music, comedy, or just a damn good time. Not trying too hard—just getting it right.

This place is one of the few bars I've been to that feels genuinely relaxing. The atmosphere is incredible with vintage decor, there's often live music from touring and local musicians, and ample space to sit and talk. The staff is fast, friendly, and kind. It's a must visit in KC. Can't say enough great things about this please, the list is endless.

This bar is the greatest, drinks are always fast & wonderful. Prices are good. The staff is super friendly and sweet. The decor is impressive, it is like walking into a cool vintage lair. The overall atmosphere is super inviting, in the two years I have been coming here the customers have always been welcoming as well. It is hard to find bars as a young female and feel safe but this place right here will always make sure you are safe & make you feel at home! Love these peeps.

Love me some Hillsiders, Strawberry Hill is the only escape of the utter hell that is Westport and PNL. If you want a true dive bar experience and want to stay away from the bros and tourists this is the place for you. Live Music, good vibes, good people, if you made it this far you are doing something right. See you at the bar!

Hillsiders was a beautiful bar. Staffs were very helpful. I recommend it to anyone who needs a venue, a bite to eat, or a place to have a cold beer with friends.
