Power & Light district reviews

A collection of reviews of four places to go in the Kansas City Power & Light district

Garment District

Clothing from 32 brands for both men and women can be found at this boutique. In addition to the clothing, there is a jewelry section that includes a variety of unique rings, such as those with a golden rose or jaguar (great for spirit days) can be found. The downside to this shop is that their products are pricey. If you’re willing to spend some money, this store is a place to go for interesting clothing and accessories.

GRAMMY Museum Experience

The GRAMMY Museum Experience is paradise for any music aficionado. The only satellite of the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, the museum contains both music artifacts and interactive exhibits. Among the items available for viewing are outfits from artists such as Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber and awards won by artists like Ray Charles.

However, that’s only where the fun starts. The interactive exhibits include scream vocal karaoke, a playable set of instruments and many other fun musical items. Although the museum itself is rather small, it is packed with exhibits, and any music lover could easily spend an hour looking around. While regular admission is $8, students with IDs will be admitted at a reduced price of $7. So, whether you’re a music lover or not, the GRAMMY Museum Experience is definitely worth checking out.

BRGR

If you’re looking for a great burger, BRGR is just the place. This modern restaurant has everything from classic cheeseburgers to burgers topped with hanger steak and horseradish cream cheese, or almost anything else imaginable. They also have “Not-So-Burgers” for those who’d prefer a sandwich as a meal. These include chicken sandwiches and veggie burgers, among other things. Be sure to note that sides like french fries and tater tots must be ordered separately but may not even be necessary, considering the generously-sized sandwiches and burgers that BRGR serves.

The plating is also modern, with  burgers and “Not-So-Burgers” being served on metal trays. Fries and other sides come in small metal mugs. This is consistent with the atmosphere of the restaurant, as light fixtures, tables, chairs and booths all work together to create a cohesive look that matches the food perfectly. It is also worthwhile to mention that their buns and sauces are all house-made, and very tasty. If you’re looking to treat yourself to an amazing meal, make sure to stop by BRGR.

The Dubliner

This Irish restaurant brings elements of Irish culture together with a comfy dining experience. The large dining hall contains not only soft seats and TV to watch but also a fancy architectural design with tall columns and dark brown woodwork. The menu includes both traditional Irish favorites, like a yummy mix-of-flavors Shepard’s pie, as well as takes on classics like their six-cheese mac ’n’ cheese with garlic bread crumbs and bacon.

The service was quick, and an advertisement for a bagpipe concert was left with the receipt, almost to serve as a reminder of the cultural ties of the restaurant. If you want to secure your seat, they take reservations in advance on their website thedublinerkc.com, though there is plenty of room there. You can also view their entertainment schedule on their website to see when local bands will be performing.

If you’re in the Power & Light district for a special event, this is a great place to stop to eat before; a coupon for 20 percent off of all food if a ticket for an event is shown can be found online. If you want to take a break and relax from a day of walking and refuel with some yummy and cultural food, The Dubliner is a great place to go.
