Guides

13 Great Patios Across Kansas City

Gram & Dun

Ask and ye shall receive. A few weeks ago, we asked you what local guide we should make next. After nearly 400 votes, a Kansas City Patio Guide was the most requested!

So, we came up with 13 of our favorite spots throughout the metro for this guide. Whether you’re looking for cold drinks, great food, pickleball, live music, or even BBQ, its got you covered. There’s even an interactive Google map to help you find a patio near you!

Check it out. 👇

P.S. we know there are a lot of great patios we likely missed, but frankly, we haven’t been to them all. Reply to this email and let us know which patios we need to try next!

Opening

Kansas City’s First 4DX Movie Theater is Now Open

CJ 4DPLEX

Buckle up Kansas City, movies are about to get a lot more intense. Kansas City’s first 4DX theater is now open at AMC Barrywoods 24.

  • 4 the Senses: The format combines motion-based seating with more than 21 environmental effects including wind, water, snow, vibration, scent, and more — all synchronized to the action on-screen. Each 4DX film is arranged by specialized editors to align the motion and effects with a film's pacing, designed to amplify the experience without changing the filmmaker's original vision.

  • Grand Premier: This is just the second 4DX location in the entire country, the other being located in the Houston area. Upcoming 4DX titles include “Project Hail Mary”, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie”, and “Toy Story 5”.

See the full upcoming 4DX showing schedule for AMC Barrywoods 24 HERE.

Here’s how it works:

  • Take a 15-question personality quiz

  • Get matched with 5 compatible people

  • You’ll get a text the morning of revealing your restaurant

  • You show up, meet new friends, and enjoy a great meal

  • At approximately 7pm, a text will be sent out revealing an optional afterparty location for all groups to meet up

Can’t make it this month? No problem! We host these dinners monthly in different neighborhoods throughout the KC metro. You can get on the waitlist to stay in-the-know of future Dinner Clubs.
