This is the bar side of the Old Shawnee Pizza (Lenexa) space. We went to OSP for a weeknight dinner, and the live music in the main restaurant side was good but loud for carrying a conversation, so we decided to try the Saloon side. Glad we did!
The space feels a little more cozy with a few tables, booths, and bar seating. Same food plus a fairly extensive drink menu to browse. Service was pretty solid, with a laid-back and welcoming neighborhood bar vibe. Music filled the space from around the other side, and a U.S. Women's Soccer game was live on the big screens.
Enjoyed the OSP Dip appetizer (made to order), St. Louie specialty pizza (which happened to be on special), craft beer on tap, and a 1oz whiskey pour, but the show-stopper of the night was The Campfire seasonal smoked cocktail. For a dark, cold, rainy night, this was a warm and relaxing reprieve.
The description on Google is very misleading. This is not a cocktail bar, it’s the bar counter at Old Shawnee Pizza. We were disappointed by both of the happy hour appetizers. The drinks were ok. There was live music setting up as we were leaving, which could be fun.
