North OP. . .about two blocks south of Mission.
Trying to find some good bars. So far the only one I kinda like is the Point's $10 deal on Fridays from 7-9...the two times I've been it hasn't been too crowded, and you can sit outside if it's not outrageously hot. Also, not a bar (well, part of it is), but the new Crossroads KC venue kicks ass.
slimz i live in the west plaza and indulge in the spirits much more than i should. what kind of bars do you like, i can offer some suggestions. and welcome to kc 
Thanks clams. It's good to be back where I grew up.
I got spoiled living in Lawrence for the past five years. My favorite place there was a spot called Henry's, which was an upstairs bar that was almost never too crowded, the music wasn't too loud, and it just had a nice, grad student atmosphere. Could always get Harp or Stella for $4 a pint, and usually some type of double well special for the same price.
I like to be able to sit. I like to be able to hear conversation. It's always nice if there's a patio option, especially if the indoors tends to be pretty smoky. I like affordable drinks, and I like there to be some folks about my age around.
I'm not a big fan of Tomfooleries, Granfalloon, or O'Dowd's on Friday or Saturday nights. Too crowded and meat-market-ish. The Cashew was okay...cool setting, but the wait staff seemed kind of bitchy when I went, and it was pricey.
