The Belfry, Gerard's Pool Hall, Ground Control, Wolf Den - part of the Belfry Collective

Have frequented the Belfry many times over the years and it's always fantastic. On our last visit I ordered a burger and it was hands down the best burger I have had in KC along with some delicious hand cut fries. Not surprising at all but it was so good I felt I needed to leave a review. Small space but you can order and hang out in the gameroom and play some pool if it's crowded.

What a great find! Stopped here for a late dinner during the week. Really nice spot. Sat at the bar, their gin is great. Has the chicken and biscuit dinner, that was great too. Definitely will be back. Great beer selection, great service.

What a hip place! Fantastic elevated bar food and delicious drinks. Definitely a place where you can get the perfect bite and sip. Cool ambiance and super trendy — a great place to hang out. My favourite restaurant in KC so far. Note: Portions are small so order more!

Unique space, great service, nice selection of beer, cocktail, wine, and whiskey, and three separate areas to hang out in. There's the main bar/dining area, a billiards section and a basement bar. The service was amazing, multiple people checking in regularly, the server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the daily specials. Will definitely be going back soon!

We came here with another couple and we all had an incredible dining experience! The atmosphere was very chill and they’re known for having one of the best bourbon lists in KC, along with an equally impressive cocktail and beer selection. At first, the bourbon/whiskey list can be a little overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I wanted to try something I’ve never had so we were lucky enough to receive a few excellent recommendations from Chef Celina, who in addition to being a world class chef, just so happens to have an exquisite palate for bourbons. After we got a few cocktails going, we ordered the cauliflower and pretzels to start with. Both were very delicious and the cauliflower was cooked like none other I’ve ever tasted…so freakin’ good! I ended up ordering the cheeseburger and added an egg and bacon as well. The flavor of the burger was incredible, the fries were cooked perfectly and had a slight crunch…everything was insanely tasty! Our overall experience was amazing and we can’t wait to come back. This has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in KC!

By far KC's best "kept secret" and underknown masterpiece. From the incredibly crafted drinks made by staff as well versed in conversation as they are in their drink-craft, the Michelin worthy food at exceptionally affordable prices, to their creation of a space that is the epitome of "upscale come as you are," the Belfry is truly the best destination in Kansas City. Want to shoot some pool? Then head to their pool hall. Looking for more of a speakeasy vibe? Ground Control in the basement is your spot, with a designated bartender that can tailor a drink to your preference. More of a whiskey connoisseur? I challenge you to find a collection that rivals the bottles that Chef Celina Tio has assembled. And it sounds like they are even expanding to include a space dedicated to those more inclined to wine, as Chef Tio is also a certified Sommelier. In summary, quit googling and just go the Belfry.

Love this place. Love the food. Love the beer and cocktail choices. Normally love the service. Really really dislike the bartender tonight. Stand-off ish, unhelpful. Had to ask him about specials as he didn’t offer but knew we were ordering food. Not busy tonight… If I see him next time I’m just gonna leave…. I’m guessing that’s what others have done tonight.

Walked here after a performance at the Kauffman Center. Friday night, still had a choice of open tables. Bit of a speakeasy vibe, good for a full meal or just drinks. Intimate little space, playful and sophisticated, complete with candlelight and neat little plants. Kind and welcoming staff. The food menu is small and top-notch with unique blends of flavors. Save room for dessert! (The cheddar bread pudding with bourbon caramel was an unexpectedly perfect pairing of flavors, went nicely with some French-press Irish coffee.) Excellently crafted cocktails (classics and innovations) and generally a great selection of spirits and beers. Everything was prepared with care. Easy to spend a lot of money here, but a really nice treat.

Great food and drink options! It is small so call ahead or be prepared. We had a party of 2 so we were seated quickly. Great whiskey menu. Cocktails are fire. Food is great.
