after class happy hour 1/6/2003

mike's is very convenient for me and a lot of my friends. it's right across the street from rockhurst university, classes get over around2 or after labs at 5 or 6 and Mike's is a great place to sit down, relax, and unwind from the crapc chemistry classes. Drink specials are great, and burgers are delicious. The pool tables aren't ideal, but in good enough shape to play a few rounds. more

Great Dive 9/17/2002

This is a great dive! But the food is so so! The live music isn't bad. I would say this place is a great starter bar or if you want to get down and dirty. I would only go there to drink! more

Mike's is Mike's...Amen 9/16/2002

Mike's is Mike's, thank God!! You can see the kitchen and it looks clean to me. The bathroom (mens) seems pretty clean too, compared to some other popular joints in town. Oh my God.... It's on Troost! Hold on.... Westport and the Plaza are safer....Please! Anyway check it out for yourself instead of relying on these important reviews! more

HOT CHICKS 9/11/2002

I had soooo much fun at Mike's last night. I've been there a few times but I'm going to make it my new hang out. Cheap drinks, great food and the bartenders rock!!! Chicks aren't bad to look at either. more

Swappin! 9/10/2002

I was at Mike's the other day, just hang'n with four friends (students like me). In walks TWO of my prime Profs. After an hour of acting like we didn't see each other, we ended up swapping ideas, stories and beers! This place is the first place I've ever rated. I feel slutty, but good! Mike's rocks! more

ROO Bad 8/23/2002

I went to UMKC and I think they need to find a new hang out! The prices for the drinks are not bad. The food was a little below par for me. Never statyed there long enough to hear live music. Don't even start me on those nasty bathrooms. more

Not Very good 8/12/2002

I just finshed UMKC and have been to Mikes many times. I have never found it a good place too eat or listen to music. If you want to drink it is a good place. I would start there and then go some where else. I too do not think the place is very clean! more

Thanks for a good time 8/8/2002

This place rocks, I came in from Wichita to check out a band and the owners were so nice and I was surprised at how clean the place was. The burgers are the best and the service was great. Thanks Mike more

Check it out 8/7/2002

Mike's is a great little tavern. It's clean, friendly and great food. I recently checked out their web site and it's really cool. Mikestavernonline.com. I think the reviewer who said it is dirty is crazy. Check it out for yourself more

Okay at best 7/28/2002

Went to Mikes the food is so so at best! The place could use a new menu or a better cook. Not sure which but it needs something. Maybe I'm too old for this place I'm not sure. But the food is okay at best! more

Mike's Rocks 7/25/2002

That last review is crazy, the place is always clean and the people there are awesome. I think the last reviewer must have had a bad day or perhaps got kicked out cause they were wacko Pros: Nice people more

Forget UMKC, more like Rockhurst. 7/25/2002

Overall, Mike's is a great place to go to anytime of the day, whether its for a Thursday night out, a refreshing beer after an afternoon exam or a rough day at work, or an inexpensive lunch. On a side note, its the unofficial Rockhurst bar rather than a UMKC bar, but of course, Rockhurst isn't going to be mentioned. Pros: Good atmosphere, Friendly, College Crowd Cons: , Bad area 1 block east, College Crowd more

  • The Scene
    UMKC students and alumni congregate at this concrete dive. There's a wooden bar or red vinyl-covered booths. Johns Belushi and Lennon and a giant moose head preside over the crowd from red-and-black walls. Two televisions hang over the bar with a big-screen in the back corner, while 14 more broadcast different events. When a show is on the small stage, dart players will have their backs to the music, but sanctuary lies in an adjoining room with pool tables and Golden Tee.

    The Draw
    There's nothing fancy, just a standard selection of nine domestics on tap and 20 in bottles, plus imports like Heineken and Amstel for good measure. Exotic tastes may order a cocktail from the full bar. Food is served in huge quantities: burgers weighing a half-pound, the loaded quesadillas can't weigh much less, and spicy buffalo wings are the actual whole wings.
