We love the High Dive! Sadly, we hadn't been in a few years, so remedied that yesterday! Went for lunch. I had the pretzels and he had a meatloaf sandwich. Everything was good, bartender was great. Definitely recommend!

Awesome neighborhood bar with some pretty cool people! James was the best! Pretzels and beers were great. Gem of a place and a perfect "dive" bar.

This bar is a must visit spot every time I’m in KC. Grab a mystery beer from the vending machine, eat some delicious food (I recommend the burgers and wings!), and grab a seat to watch a game or listen to some tunes.

5 stars for everything!!! I met a friend for lunch & the food was outstanding! Service was great, even though the bartender was left to take our orders & such. The atmosphere was fun, vibrant, comfortable & everyone was singing along with the great song choices they had playing. Totally ready to go back!!!!

Service was awesome! Like really awesome. Atmosphere was cool. Mix of a good crowd of all ages. Food was good, not the best bar food I’ve ever had but it was decent. Smash burger was not a true smash burger. Patties were thiccc.

Stopped in because I heard the meatloaf was good.. And it was delicious. The mashed potatoes and green beans that came with it was good too. Tried the wings and they're good too. The atmosphere was cool, more like a bar setting. The service was good and the price of the beers were normal/average. They have $5 random can beer machine that's pretty cool too. My only complaint is that the meatloaf could be a couple dollars cheaper. I'd recommend it though if you can get past the sticker shock.
