⛲️ Made for Jade

Cocktails Out, Cocktails In: Jade Jaguar has operated as a pop-up concept under the direction of Manny Gomez for the past year, but will now open a brick-and-mortar space in the Crossroads. Gomez has now partnered with Seth Goldwasser, the former bar Manager at Town Company, and Exit Strategy, the group behind Mercury Room and Verdigris, to bring Jade Jaguar to life.

Made for Jade: Bar Medici opened in early 2024 at 1800 Walnut St. Suite 100 with Florence-inspired design. The space will now be redesigned into a bright and vibrant space, with nods to Mexico City’s culture. Guests can expect elevated cocktails, Mexican-style small bites, space for a DJ & live music, and more.

Happy & Hoppy: 30hop opened two locations in the KC metro this year, opening in Lee’s Summit in January and in Merriam Grand Station in May. The Iowa-based restaurant offers 30+ beers on tap, a chef-driven menu, plenty of TVs to catch the game, and 30Hour - 30% off appetizers, draft beer, cocktails, and more from 3-6pm Sunday through Friday.

Game Day Grub: Think game day grub is just burgers and wings? Think again. The menu at 30hop features fan favorites such as the Ahi Poke Bowl, Truffle Cheesesteak Melt, Dynamite Shrimp, Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad, and more. Paired with a Salt Foam Paloma, your next game day is a winner! (even if your team loses)

Moving On: The Chiefs will gladly return to Arrowhead for home field advantage, where they went 8-0 in 2024. The Eagles visit the Red Kingdom following a week 1 win against the Dallas Cowboys, while the Chiefs lost their opener in São Paulo, Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Avoiding History: Fun fact: the Chiefs have never last three straight games since Patrick Mahomes took over as the starting QB in 2018. The team will try and avoid this feat on Sunday, following the season-opening loss last Friday, and the Super Bowl LIX loss in February against the Eagles.

🎳 Gutter Ball: Pinstripes has officially closed in Overland Park’s Prairiefire. The “Bistro, Bowling, and Bocce” entertainment concept still has 8 locations nationwide, none of which are in Kansas or Missouri.

🧐 Trivia Night: The success of Tuesday Trivia in KC Daily has taught us that ya’ll love trivia. The Monogram Lounge at J. Rieger & Co. hosts Trivia Thursday every Thursday with Big 5 Trivia. Walk-ins welcome!

🏗️ So Many Activities: A mixed-use ‘activity district’ has been proposed at the former Sprint Campus at 119th and Nall in Overland Park. Does this mean they Royals aren’t moving there after all? Your guess is as good as ours…
