City Barrel Brewing Co.: craft beer and food in Kansas City

City Barrel Brewing Co. is a craft brewery based in Kansas City, Missouri, operating two locations in different neighborhoods of the city. Its offering combines house-brewed beer with pub food and artisanal pizzas, and it presents itself as a space for social gatherings, community events, and family meals.

Two locations with their own identity

The flagship location, called City Barrel Brewery + Kitchen, is in East Crossroads, in downtown Kansas City. It is designed for large groups, with reservations for celebrations and community events. At its bar, you can see Missouri white oak chairs made from reclaimed 1930s wood from the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The kitchen, with a 9-foot open window, prepares American pub dishes.

The second location, City Barrel Pizza + Patio, is in the Brookside/Waldo neighborhood. It is a space aimed at families and pizza lovers, with a large, pet-friendly patio that includes swings. It has a climate-controlled enclosed patio area and an indoor bar with 30 taps serving house beers and beers from other local breweries. Its food offering focuses on artisanal pizzas with a crispy-yet-doughy crust and high-quality toppings, and includes a kids' menu.

Beers and awards

The company defines itself as a niche brewery specializing in approachable, flavor-packed beers, with innovative IPAs and technical lagers. Its flagship beer, RAD AF, has won a medal at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF). The lineup is completed with imaginative cocktails and hand-selected wines.

Events and services

City Barrel hosts weekly events at its East Crossroads location, such as happy hours and trivia nights. It also offers the possibility of booking the space for private events and catering services. The website also mentions the sale of gift cards and a donation program.
