We’re Kansas City locals who love taking full advantage of Kansas City’s craft brewery scene.

In our experience, breweries that do not offer food or only have a modest amount of bar snacks available do allow you to bring outside food in.
Since many of these breweries are located in downtown and midtown neighborhoods, there are plenty of carry out options in the area.
For Crossroads Arts District breweries, King G Deli is an excellent option if you want a sandwich with your beer. Grinders Pizza is great carry out for groups.
If you love our local breweries, you should also consider a visit to our city’s local distilleries.
