Favorite bar in KC! Great people, great bartenders, great drinks, great atmosphere, great art. I live for the poetry open mics every Wednesday night. Such a welcoming crowd and you are always sure to meet the most genuine people here.

I've been going here almost every Tuesday for the open mic Lyric Lab for the last few months! It's a great atmosphere filled with talented people just coming in to share their passions. Diverse, non-judgmental, exciting place with nothing but love to give! Last night was my first time on stage and I only have greater respect for the place! Can't wait 'til next Tuesday!

No sports playing on the television or the overhead speaker system, but the artists performing. It caters to every artist, all over the spectrum. From folk music to spoken word, from karaoke to comedy, beats to burlesque, edm to roots, you really can't go wrong at Uptown Arts Bar.

I held my friends baby shower at this venue and had problems with the event coordinator.
