The Brick on McGee Street in Kansas City’s Crossroads Arts District has been a neighborhood pub and live music venue since it opened, combining a serious bar food kitchen with one of the city’s best small music stages in a setting that earns loyalty from both the foodie crowd and the live music crowd simultaneously. It appeared in Season 10, Episode 5 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Wings, Dogs and Claws,” which aired September 27, 2010. Guy Fieri found a pub kitchen doing wings and bar food with the kind of scratch-made commitment that separates a great bar kitchen from a standard one — house-made sauces, fresh ingredients, and the kind of food that holds up against the best standalone restaurants in the city.

What to Eat
The Wings are the DDD centerpiece — crispy, sauced in multiple house-made varieties ranging from classic buffalo to creative seasonal options, and the reason Guy came to film in the first place. The House-Made Sauces are the differentiator; ask the server what’s rotating. The Burgers, built on fresh-ground beef with creative toppings, are the other bar food standout worth ordering alongside the wings. The Mac and Cheese with add-ins is the comfort food side that most regulars add automatically. Check the website for the current live music schedule — the room is better with a band playing.
