Grinders KC Event Venue - Box Office + GA Gate - Live music venue in Kansas City - 1826 Locust St, USA

Went to my first GWAR concert here. Absolutely loved it! The concert goers and employees were awesome! Everyone was there to have a good time and we did! Can't wait to go to another Grinders event!

Became very attached to this place through the years. Its a marvelous set up and layout. The city views are ambient. The wonderful sound, stage presents, and 360° view of stage and grounds always enjoyable. Mid-sized crowds, great staff....BUT the poorly engineered equipment canapy recently installed. Just halted our decisions to view a high profile band here again. It destroyed the view, the comfort, and created a packed standing crowd trying to find the stage around it. Not sure why this decision was made. Felt it impacted hundreds of paying guests. Jeff, this is your industry. Not sure what happened with this? Peace

We had an amazing show here. Went to see St Paul and the Broken Bones with friends. The venue is intimate but still has plenty of room. Very relaxed. It is a mulched common area between buildings. There are concessions and port-a-potties along the sides. We didn't get drinks so I'm not sure on pricing but the tickets were affordable and the concert was a ton of fun. They do allow blankets and chairs for some concerts so check before you go. Our concert didn't. My only complaint was having no where to sit. Standing on the mulch on a slight hill got to my back after the first hour or so. Would definately go back!

Such a great indoor and outdoor event space! Welcoming to vendors and patrons of all ages. Live music a music and great food! Order pizza by the slice, calazone,, philly cheesesteak... there's nothing you couldn't think of that they don't have on this menu, it is absolutely scrumptious and an amazing place to take your friends, family or business partners!

By far one of my favorite pizza/food spots in KC. Can't beat the twofer. Great selection of craft beer from around the area

They put the sound right in the middle of the audience, essentially blocking the entire back half from a good view. VIP is a joke. There is ONE restroom in the bar in the opposite corner from the VIP section (VIP viewing front right, bar in the back on the left). There are 2 port-a-potties in the VIP section. Since when does VIP = Johnny on the Spot? You can't even see most of the stage from half of the VIP section. Lines are long and slow for drinks and merch. I really want to like this spot, but since the VIP moves from the front with a/c and restrooms to the back, it's ridiculous that they charge so much for it. Love an outdoor venue, but be better GrindersKC!!!

We saw Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade at Grinders. It was an awesome show and the venue was just great! Moderately sized location which was great for an intimate concert. Food and drinks were great and the price was even better! I definitely recommend this venue!

Great show Trombone Shorty & Ziggy Marly good time!
