Funky Town KC

Incredible!!! Cant believe we just found out about this amazing place.So much fun !!!From the second you get IN its like you are getting transferred to a different planet 😜 with amazing vibes good energy nice people, and very good music!!! Nice decoration everyone coming here for the same reason, dancing and having fun!! If you like to dance this is definitely a must place to go!!

From the moment you walk in you are greeted I cant think of her name but its either Lindsay or Lily but she is phenomenal what customer service and after you pay the cover she says come back up here if you need anything or if you need help. I have been on Friday nights and Saturday nights I feel like Saturday nights are busier than Friday nights. But the crowd on both nights was cool. We love going because you can dress up in 60 70s 80s attire and you fit right in.

Oh man, this place is incredible! Honesty, it has to be the best dance club I’ve ever been to. This is definitely a place for people that like to dance. If you don’t dance, you will not enjoy it. The music was awesome and the vibes are great. Everyone just dancing and enjoying the night. I haven’t danced that much in a long time. 70’s-80’s music mix but still plays some 90’s and up hits. Fun times!!!!

I love Funky Town but tonight was a different experience that really shows their character. The power went out shortly after they opened. They quickly announced that they would stay open an extra hour. They soon announced the power would not be on for a couple of hours. It was getting warm. They were trying to entertain everyone. When people started to leave they automatically gave refunds to everyone without question. This is a hard thing to do when you are only open two days a week. Thank you Funky Town for being a business who does the right thing when it is not easy!

Groovy Baby! Funky Town has great vibes and is an absolutely fun place to have a celebration! Birthdays, bachelorettes, anniversaries, etc. Great range of age groups on the dance floor. Fun colors and pictures opportunities. So many neon lights and signs. Definitely a lot cleaner and nicer than it has been in the past. So much fun to dress up and dance the night away. 🪩🕺🏽💃🏼

Never go on a night that they have KC Singles night! The crowd was shoulder to shoulder, we waited in the drink line for almost 30 mins before we got drinks. I had several men make inappropriate passes and comments towards me with my lady standing right there by me!! Not an enjoyable experience and I probably wont go back!!!

We absolutely love this place for once or twice a month dancing and hanging with friends. We are in our 50s and most of the people who come here are older. Great music from the 70s and 80s but it tends to get a little too loud later into the night, would be cool if the deejay would try to save what decent hearing we have left.The deco and atmosphere is black light paint and nostalgia posters and paintings from TV and movies, food is good and the drinks are awesome too.The bouncer is doing a much better job of keeping people from acting up and drinks off the dance floor and its greatly appreciated.Come here if you just like to dance and have fun without all the millennial age drama.Thank you Gary and staff for always providing opportunities for reserving tables if you have a large group coming.

The club is easy to find, almost everyone knows where it is. The parking lot is decent, not too dark or cramped. I am never a fan of a cover charge, especially a $10 one, especially if there isnt a live band. I was going as a part of a birthday party.The atmosphere is perfect if youre into the fun, blacklight type of thing. Unfortunately, during COVID they have to abide by some pretty bogus rules about dancing in little squares and masks... Nothing they can help.The other main thing I am not a fan of, is that it is a cash only bar that the waitress collects every time you order a drink and you cannot run a tab at all. $4 Bud Light bottles.The waitress and the show was great. The music is loud, as to be expected at a club. It could have been better, but overall it was fine!

So much fun! I wanted to go dancing on my birthday and I had a blast. I had no idea how swagged out the inside is with a disco ball dance floor. All the tables were reserved! The waitress was kind to me and got me a table next to the dance floor. Thank you whoever you are who made a birthday memory.

Fun place, but with a $15 cover charge and water that cost $2.50. Drinks are a little above average in price. So be prepared to spend at least $50 per person

A great time with lots of atmosphere. Its a $10 cash cover charge to get in, and the drinks are also cash only. Everyone is having a good time here, and the covid restrictions appear to have been lifted. Its a great people watching opportunity.Water is not free and the cocktails are something like $10.50. beers are something like $4. There arent tabs

This place has such potential. The vibe is great and the crowd is very into the 70s theme with many dressing to match the theme. The decor is good but the DJ has no clue. I grew up going to clubs in the 70s and 80s and while some of the song selections are good, they played a couple of 80s songs, some 50s music, Stevie Ray Vaughn and stairway to heaven. People come here to dance to 70s music and you could see the floor empty when the selection went sideways Replace the DJ and you would have a real winner.

Beautiful decor and vibe. Open dance floor. So much fun.

What a fun place if you are in the dancing mood. Whether you are a few or a lot, you will definitely have fun

For $24 a 6 pack and $8-$12 a mix drink...I should NOT have to pay a cover charge of $15 if I had to wait 20-30 minutes each time I wanted a drink! Two bar tenders most of the night...the bar by the bus says coming soon... Im pretty sure the bathrooms are the cleanest part of this place. Pool tables (one close, one open) couldnt fathom trying to play on the one that was open! Use our money to fix this place or itll crash and burn soon...

The fun atmosphere and concept almost makes up for everything else that is sketchy about this place. If it werent for that, Id give this place a 1 star. The owner does not care about safety. This place is a fire hazard for sure and I would NEVER step foot in there if it is really crowded. Luckily it was not when we went. There are also no exit signs anywhere. There are lots of exposed, very dirtty wiring in the ceiling. When the car wash spinner things came on, it kicked something in the air which made me cough. I saw others leaving the floor because it was also making them cough. The music was way too loud. I lost my voice trying to talk over the music. There were only 2 bartenders which made the drink line long sometimes. Towards the end of the night, we smelled something burning, like burning rubber, which was worrisome considering the former comments.The atmosphere is fun and I did enjoy the music. The owner must count on how fun and nostalgic this place is, and all the cool anesthetics to keep him in business so he doesnt have to fix all the sketchy things about this place. I would not pay $15 to go here again.

Overall, we feel let down. We are from Minneapolis. For us the cover of $15 nearly matches the busiest bars cover on its busiest night, on a mediocre weekend here. The drinks we were poured cost us $10 a drink, and literally you cannot taste any alcohol. We feel scammed.However, all the right music was played, and it looms fantastic inside. There is food available, but we didnt try any. If you come here, definitely pre-drink and have a designated driver.We spent $52 for 2 people: $30 for 2 covers, $20 for 2 drinks that had almost no alcohol, and $2 tip.

Had a great time!! If you grew up in the 70’s and 80’s you will love this place. Your feet will hurt for a week from dancing so much. Doesn’t look that great from the outside, but such a great time.

Fun place. Drinks were reasonable and the music was great. Bring ear plugs!

Came here for my birthday August 12th. It was a great time until realizing they only had two bartenders for the entire night. the drink line was LITERALLY to the front door. (spent an hour waiting for a drink ) When trying to order food, was snapped at by the bartender Honey no do you see how busy we areThe vibes from patrons were great, the space was cool, it was a vibe. Not enough people working the bar/food lines. I would come back on a night that 5 party busses dont show up all at once, lol!Bathrooms were clean and well kept, space was clean.

Funky Town KC is far from the fun and exciting night club it was years ago. Went there for my 21st birthday in 2013 and it has been a yearly tradition for so many birthdays since. However, it is very much missing nearly ALL of its good points. They used to have staff that would dance and get people on the dance floor. Not anymore. They used to open the dance floor officially at 9PM on the dot with a performance of the song Funkytown. Now it plays by 10PM if youre lucky, and no performance aside from them playing it at top volume on their blown out speaker system. They used to have staff going table to table getting orders. Not anymore.Recently visited this last Saturday 7/22 and it was probably the worst experience we have ever had there. The price increases are ridiculous. It was an $8 cover charge for years, and it increased to $10 after COVID. They increased it again to $15 per person, which for the experience we had is honestly not worth it. We counted a total of 6 staff all night. One was the door checker checking IDs and coats. They had 2 DJs behind the DJ booth at all times, 2 bartenders and we saw one security personnel. We assume that is who they were as they told people to get off of the cage on the dance floor. Only 1 bar was open, as the second bar area behind the van (that used to be open years ago) has read coming soon for literally years as if they are renovating that area. Still have no idea what renovations they are doing there. Dust, grime and who knows what covered the ceilings so thickly we didnt know what we were looking at at first. Only 1 of the 2 pool tables were open. The one that was available, was so broken it was almost unplayable as the pool balls would lose all momentum after hitting a side wall. You could literally feel the pieces of the side walls underneath the felt and could feel how broken they were. It took almost 40 minutes of waiting in line to get drinks (we literally had a timer going). Drink prices also increase significantly. An AMF used to be $9 and it is now $12 and not nearly as strong as they usually are. Water is not free, nor do they offer ice water in a cup. Only bottle water is available for $2.50 and its a small bottle of spring water. No food is available either. They used to have a full menu with fun little dishes like Britney Pickle Spears and M.C. Hammer-burger etc. After COVID they were selling Jacks brand pizza (which you can get for $1.50 at your local Walmart) for $12 per pizza. Now they have NO food options, which blows my mind. The music was so loud and the speakers were so blown out that my ears are STILL ringing as I am typing this out days after my visit.Funky Town has a great group of patrons that regularly visit because of its uniqueness. However, all those unique qualities, aside from the decor inside and the setlist, are almost all gone. While I understand that COVID had a huge impact on local businesses, I cant help but feel that just isnt the case here. The lack of staff, the lack of up keep, the lack of care in this establishment is do diminished it is sad. Hopefully the owner is able to complete renovations, hire more staff, clean the place up and make some much needed repairs and maintenance in order to bring it back to its former glory. Sadly, I dont see that happening, and will probably have to just watch this used to be gem slowly die.

This place was super crowded. The Dancefloor is way smaller than what’s needed. I’m not sure what code capacity is for that building but they exceed it. I’m sure of it. When they put the soap on the floor, it is a danger to whoever is dancing. And they need to teach their DJ how to DJ. When he puts two songs together, it sounds like a train wreck. The food was mediocre at best. The drinks are over priced $10 for one cup. Being an all cash establishment is an inconvenience for all of its patrons.

Please for the love of god y’all have a self serve water station set up for free. People are downing their drinks to head out on the dance floor, sweating up a storm and then not properly hydrating. Charging 2.50 for water should be a crime; and if people pass out from dehydration I hope y’all are using all the money your getting from charging for water to cover their hospital visits.

Fantastic place to go with friends. Great music as long as you enjoy oldies. My grandkids greatly enjoyed going there! If there is a large group you can call ahead a couple of months & reserve a table.

This place is cash only. $15 cover charge to get in and then all drinks are $10. I thought it was illegal for a bar to charge for water? They are charging $2.50 for water and have signs posted saying “no free water”. So if you’re DDing, it’s going to be $17.50 just to hang out and make sure your friends are safe. The decorations and different areas are decorated really cool and the neon lights really make everything pop but I would not go back. It’s way too expensive and not worth the money for the very average atmosphere.

We went to Funky Town on a birthday bus with 35 people. The website says 10.00 cover charge and the bouncer told us it was 15.00. He was unbelievably rude. We tried explaining to him that two of us were paying for all the bus and we didn’t have enough to pay 15 a piece. We than decided we would try and pull our money to get in and than they said we were too aggressive and wouldn’t let us in. We asked to speak to the manger and he refused! Do not go! So rude!

Could not be more obsessed with this place. Worth every dollar of the $15 cover. Great vibes, good music, and a crowd that is totally committed to the 70s theme. Literal foam from the ceilings and car wash brushes on top of great black light prod design makes this a must in KC.

The only disco in kc. dress 70/80s take you back in memories.

Staff inside seemed to not be on the same page.when it came to how to communicate to patrons. Hostesses leading guests to spaces where another hostess is running it without clear clarification to patrons i.e. VIP access only to be yelled at by said hostess running the space.Additional care should also be taken to the dust in the ceilings as it looks to not have been cleaned in years especially given they run the fans in said ceiling.Also can it not be a case by case situation on male dress code application.Oh and its a $15 cover

15$ to get in, 20 minutes to get a beer, only 3 bartenders for a management known sold out crowd. Fun music. They need to enlarge this place for the crowds their pulling! Dance on!

I love Funky Town, I love dressing up, and I love disco music with a passion! My only complaints are that its cash only and that its only open 2 nights a week.They have a dress code both on their website and outside their front door, as well as rules posted for you to read before coming inside- including the 2 person limit at the front counter at a time. If you get there after 930 you can usually expect to wait a few minutes in line since thats when a lot of people show up.Also, the doors open at 8 but the real party portion of the night doesnt start until closer to 10, and the restaurant-style seating is plenty far away from the dance floor if the music gets to be louder than you like.9/10 recommend going at least once if youre visiting the KCMO area, and going at least a few times a year if you live here. The music and atmosphere are unique and captivating!

We never do anything for New Years. So this year we decided it was time. We saw on funky towns website they were having nye. We called several times and the gentleman told us all back next Wednesday now call back next Friday. Then when we finally went in there to get tickets they were to be open and were not we got thirty minutes down the road and got a call. It was a lady named Mary. We turned around and bought the tickets. However she forgot to sign and stamp the ticket. We can just keep going back and forth so when B went to drill he stayed and went one night and got them signed and we were told everything is good now. We get to the club right at 8 pm to get a seat etc. we walk in and there are names on all the tables so now we have no we’re to sit . The waitress tried but is confused we get the manager iris. And this is when things go very wrong. We first have to prove to her that we bought tickets The day they going to sell that’s not my job as a customer secondly she’s screaming where everyone can hear it making it look like we are bad for her not doing her job then she blames a guy with a name I believe George or Greg says it was his job to do the seating chart again not my job as a customer to think about what some other guy was supposed to do then she screams at the waitress which again not her job .We didn’t make the best of it but we were planning on buying a lot of beverages that night we ended up buying zero drinks and just dancing the dancing was fun but if everybody would’ve try to get on the stage there would’ve been absolutely no way there were times that people were dancing on the sides or on where you’re supposed to walk because the stage was too small it would’ve been nice to be able to drink but we’re obviously not gonna pay for drinks when we don’t even have a table assigned to us. But it would’ve been nice to even be able to buy some water or some Coke but there’s no way you’re gonna stand there with people banging into each other trying to drink and I also don’t think you’re supposed to have drinks on the dance floor anyways.

I have been to funky town many times and have generally always had a good experience. The $10 cover charge is pretty unnecessary and the cash only bar is inconvenient but I can deal with it. The biggest problem is sitting at the front desk right when you walk in the door. I have on more than one occasion witnessed this woman berate and scream at people who are just trying to get into the door. Just rude and unnecessary. Also ladies, keep in mind if this woman decides she doesn’t like what you are wearing or if she thinks you’re showing too much skin or cleavage, she will not let you inside. Funky town has the potential to be a great dance spot and a fun time, but I really hope the front door staff doesn’t ruin it for everyone. Hope to see some positive changes soon.

This dance club is so awesome!!!!!! Its a safe place to have ladies night! They are really on it with NO drama, trouble anything. Classic disco and 70s theme and come dressed in 70s and disco theme! Time of my life I already made reservation to go back which is highly recommended in advance. You can still go in just might not have a table to sit at. Love this place!!

I have never had a worse experience at an establishment. If you’re thinking of having a party here don’t. I booked a month in advance for a table for 20 people just to get there and have our table taken by another group. When we tried to get it figured out the manager said it wasn’t her problem and let the people stay there. Don’t bother going to this dump. If I could give this place negative stars I would!

I can’t thank Tomas enough for what he did tonight. I was trying to pull money out of the atm when when a really rude guy came from behind me trying to push me out of the way but Thomas stepped in and made sure I was able to pull the money out safely. It was really nice knowing that the staff was there ready to step in and help me if need be. Thanks again to Tomas! 🥰

First and foremost Im a 49 year old who grew up in the era of music they are trying to play. I went to funky town right before covid hit. And was really disappointed. The dance floor was a mess the sound system was a mess... Last night my friend wanted to celebrate her bachelorette party there. We didnt make a reservation but were able to luckily find a small booth for us to sit in. I was pleased to see that the sound system and the floors were both improved.However, I really feel like the DJs know zero about music from the 70s or 80s. The music they selected was like a top 20 for the whole decade. They might have played two 80 songs and a song from the backstreet boys... yuck. If youre going to play Disco era music theres so many other better artists to play. And I feel they only stick to a handful.So it just felt worn out and on repeat. Also whoevers DJing does not know how to transition from one song to another. And lastly playing music off of something you found where they were singing live and the audience is screaming in the background is not what you play in a club. Overall I feel the DJs need to work with older people from that generation to guide them to have a better sound experience for those of us that lived in that generation. As really when you walk away the experience is kind of tacky. And I think it could be better than that..I also think that the decor could improve as well but one thing at a time.

We had a totally awsome time. Club is clean, service exceeded expectations, great music, and how could possibly have more fun than dancing while a car wash is running and bubbles fill the dance area. DJs music is spot on. The dance floor was never empty.

Funky Town was a blast both times Ive gone. The atmosphere was great with a diverse range of people of all age groups! Great time!

Super fun night out. They did up their cover to $15 which is pretty high and they shut down at 1 instead of 1:30. Got there at 11:30 so $15 for an hour and a half is not ideal.

Had a wonderful time with friends for a birthday party. The women’s restroom was very clean, spacious, and has a couple chairs to sit in if you’re exhausted. People love to complain about the cash only bar, but when the drinks are twice the size of what I can get somewhere else, I will gladly wait. Unfortunately, they chose not to open the second bar until after 10:30, when we already had to wait almost 30 minutes in a line that wrapped around the check in and back into the seating area. They should definitely open the second bar by 10:00.My biggest critique is the lack of public awareness of the house rules. House rules aren’t posted anywhere (acceptable dress code, no drinks on the dance floor, etc.). If the patrons were more aware, then there wouldn’t be so many comments about the “rude staff”.

I had a great experience at Funky Town until our experience with Brandon. Everyone was dancing and it was packed. However, Brandon, the bouncer who must kick out those with drinks on the dance floor was unnecessarily rude. It was my first time at the venue and I did not know drinks were not allowed on the dance floor. He proceeded to take my full drink, spilling half of the $5 beer on my shirt. I would’ve gladly gone off the dance floor, as I was unaware of the rule. He was very rude and I will not go back because of him. The bar is cool but the staff is not something I want to experience again. I understand he has a difficult job but they need to understand that is a rule that is not common at other bars and make it more apparent or be nicer when it’s someone’s first warning.

Like trying really hard - but the staff was insanely rude. They have a weird dress code. Yelled at in rudest way possible to remove a hat, they didnt have half of their drinks ready... and they wouldnt be for an hour and a half, a friend brought a drink onto the dance floor - promptly yelled at... the crowd was pretty basic too. its not worth the semi interesting decor.

Funky Town gets 5 stars for being unapologetically what it is. Its a drive from most of the greater KC area, which makes it a destination. And its worth it! I think the $10 cover is a little steep, but otherwise, Im totally down with Funky Town! Its definitely the place to go with a large group, but you dont have to. Its also fun to get dressed up to suit the theme, but you dont have to. The age range is wide and also the types of people is varied, which is another reason its great. I like that they dont let drinks on the dance floor. If you dont have a good time at Funky Town, you are the one who is boring.

Besides the extreme decibel level, it was an awesome experience. All ages in our group of 25 complained of the volume, which prevented us from dancing more. Unfortunately we did not bring ear plugs.

Love it.. I love getting sudsed by the carwash..

Heard raving review of Funky Town to the point where I had to go! Wasnt sure what to expect but am so happy that I made the trip! Had a great time!! The chicken strips were awesome, the shrimp, mouth watering!! Planning a return trip!One suggestion, to owners. Holding reserved tables over an hour when you have patrons ready for the experience is not good at all. That was the only negative experience the entire night! Stood for about an hour and a lady who had 7 tables, offered us a seat....

This place is so much fun!! Whether you just turned 21 or are having a retirement party this place is a blast. All ages, a wide variety of people, fun attire, outstanding music and awesome atmosphere. Great choice for a night out! If you dont have a blast, youre not trying!

A girl in our party had holy jeans which is the trend btw, and they wouldn’t let her in. I am wearing a dress which shows more leg and they would’ve let HER in?! What the heck? We are out for a friend’s birthday and they wouldn’t let ONE person in our party of 30 in just because her jeans had some holes in them. That’s sad. Your loss!

It is cash only. If you come here and dont have fun, you shouldnt be allowed to leave home. Seriously, this place is great.

I loved everything about this place. That is until I took out my phone to take a picture of me, my husband, and my friends and they said no videos. Thats all well and good but there was nothing posted inside, on their website, or on their Facebook page stating no pictures or videos. One of the staff had an attitude about it almost braking his neck to see what I was doing on my phone. But all in all good fun, good music, great atmosphere.

This is my second time at this bar with equally painful experiences from the staff. Some random person on the dance floor handed me a drink and I was promptly kicked out of the bar without anyone in my group having caused trouble. The bouncers much like last time were exceptionally rude and immature then only after my wife reprimanded them outside the bar did they reluctantly let us back in. We arrived on a party bus full of people and almost every person has a negative experience to share. For the inconvenience of a cash bar (credit cards were around in the 70s btw) that also has a cover charge, we expected more but as the old saying goes fool me twice shame on me. Funky Town management, please train your staff accordingly since Ive seen many reviews like this in your ratings. Im not sure if its because we are a younger crowd for this establishment being 25 year olds but none of my friends will be returning to this bar.

So fun! Our waitress was quick and kind. But Every time I’m there The dj Can’t seem to shut up. He Played a lot of Taylor Swift, but everyone seemed to like the oldies better(we are there to hear something most other bars don’t play) Instead of going up to people and asking them to take their drinks off the dance floor as they usually do, he interrupted the song 3 times! To announce to one or two people they needed to set their drinks down(it wasn’t even crowded!) it’s the same guy every time and I wish he’d just think more about the next he was (planning?) on playing

The music. Holy christ the music. If they had a DJ that had any kind of clue whatsoever, it might be worth 2 stars. He may be the worst, no he is the worst I have ever heard. I have been to them all. Name the city, and Ive probably been to 1 or 5. Then they have the car wash.. mind you NOT with the original song either. So much for being a 70s to 80s vibe. He proclaims that no other city does it.,True,, because the chemicals that come out of those bubbles, sends people outside. Its KC, where selections are very very limited. Another city? This dump with the worst cd playing dj would be an epic fail.

Honestly one of the worst bars you can go to. The staff is so rude, and their dress code is ridiculous. I understand concepts like, “no wife beaters” but no ball caps or ripped pants. It’s 2019. This podunk backwater Bar is not worth your time unless you are 40+. I tried to make it a spot for my friends, but the owner is straight garbage. Unless you grew up in the 70s stay away. This bowling alley turned club is not for 35 and under.

First time few Friday ago and this place is Amazing energy and outstanding dance floorNeon lights balcony VIP dance cages the decorations from the 80s disco ball the cool treeOf course the love shack Bamboo bar.You got to see this venue its definitely a hidden treasure meet me there Friday night wear your best dancing shoes and your awesome outfit!!!☆☆☆☆☆ Friendly staff Beautiful bartenders.

SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!! Great music with a wide variety (mostly 70s & 80s but some 90s and current). Cool seeing people dressed up in 70s costumes! Some were pretty outrageous! Expensive mixed drinks but decent price on bottled beer.

Pretty much the same as the reviews before this one. The dance floor vibe was awesome and the bars theme is a really cool concept. However, the staff was rude and uninviting. Brandon in particular was very rude to several people in our group. Wont be going back as a result.

I have been here a few times and every single time I go I have a BLAST! The people there are nice and welcoming and I love the variety of people that go. The drinks are also delicious and theyre much bigger than you would get at any other dance club. I highly recommend this place if youre looking for a good time!

Always enjoy this place. If you like to dance 70s-80s and a few current, this is your place. There is a cover and drinks are reasonable.

So strange ~ we couldnt even get in. Couldnt get a reservation so we, 10 of us - got there right at 8:00 and stood in line. Apparently they let reservation people go first. Was frisked by a guy with a seriously bad attitude - but didnt explain the process - waited in our line while they let in 2 (two) people at a time from the reservation line. it was pretty chilly so at 8:50 after standing outside waiting to give them cash and buy their drinks we decided to take our business elsewhere. Wont return! tried to give it 0 stars....

What can I say? Playful atmosphere, great people, disco ball spinnin, good times. Cash only, so bring some coin.

Went to Funky Town last night for the first time with a group of friends. I had a wonderful time and it was such a great atmosphere! The reason Im not giving 5 stars though is because the door lady was ridiculously rude to me right off the bat. I went with a classic 90s look with ripped jeans which I guess is against the dress code. Thats fine but the way she said it made me think she was kidding (since Ive never been here before) and she just went off on me it was extremely unprofessional and made me want to leave but she let me in anyways. She definitely needs an attitude adjustment or a new job because she hit me with the Im really tired of people asking me why ripped jeans are against the dress code. And kept rolling her eyes. It was also insanely hot inside, which there was a lot of people in there so they cant help that. But other than that I had a really good time, my calves are actually sore from dancing the night away!

One of my absolute favorite places! The staff arent great with parties (whether you made a reservation or not) but the place itself makes up for that tenfold. I always have the best time. Dont be deceived by the location and the outside of the building, its a total blast, and they play the best music.

Went with my parents who are obviously older. A party bus with younger/dressed up people got in line after us and the bouncer let them go first. We talked to him and he didnt even acknowledge us. Extremely disappointed and will never go back..

The good: The place is real weird. In a cool way. But also in a way, that like, you can imagine Bill Cosby might put on a wig and go here to find ladies for his needs. The drinks were a tad pricey but also boozey.The bad: They charge a cover and you have to pay cash. The bar is cash only. The staff was rude. Its a dance club and the place was very warm when I went there, and THEY CHARGE FOR WATER. FOR WATER. IN A WARM DANCE CLUB IN AMERICA. Is that even legal? Ugh.-LS

Funky Town is a lot of fun, its one of those places that everyone should visit at least once. That being said, i will probably only be visiting Funk Town the one time. The main reason i say this is because the drinks are outragously expensive, the water isnt free, they only accept cash, and theres a 10 dollar cover. A draft Bulevard is about 10 dollars and a friend of mine bought shots for the table which came out to 13 dollars per shot.

Five cars had their windows busted out November 18, 2017. There was a guy on staff standing outside the front door smoking all night and he “didn’t hear a thing.” The place is good novelty fun, but if you can’t count on your vehicle being in one piece when you leave...We WON’T be returning.

Apparently, this establishment is exempt from the laws of the ADA. Came tonight with our 83 year old grandmother... And was told there was nowhere for her to sit. We were then told by the lady at the front desk that reservations that did not show up by 9 p.m would be canceled. At 9:15 p.m., there was an unclaimed table, and we chose to sit in the chairs. At 9:20, management approached us and told us that the table is reserved, and we had to give it up. After three requests for a chair for her to sit in, she was still denied even a single chair to sit in. Thankfully, everyone around us all the situation, and helped us work with a group who had reserved the table who did not need all their chairs. This was an unbelievable experience for her, and with bad knees and hardly able to stand, an hour and 15 minutes seem like forever.

The door lady was VERY RUDE. I get out of my Uber and she proceeds to tell me that I can’t enter because my shorts are cuts offs. They are American eagle shorts by the way. Just kind of seems like she was upset because I was cute. There could have been a million different ways to handle that. I understand if I was breaking a dress code violation and I’m all about following the rules buttttttttt we came all the way to basically get disrespected on sight, pretty rude. ALSO as we waited for our ride she proceeds to smoke about 5 cigarettes which do you boo boo but that’s super unprofessional. I don’t think you should allow her to be the face of your business. I would give zero stars if I could.

Its quite the place. My wife loves it. You can tell the owners have some training in set design or something similar. There always seems to be some new artifact or feature everytime we go.Keep up the great work.

Not only does it play my favorite dance music, but I have found that Funkytown is the safest club in the metro area to get my dance fix. The bouncers/management watch out for me in the parking lot as well as on the dance floor. It is nice to be able to relax and have fun.

I enjoyed myself! It was on the expensive side, from the cover charge ($20) to the drinks. They have private security patrolling the parking lot throughout the night though which was an added comfort from the moment of arrival. I had a couple $9 long island iced teas, but they came in a large cup that I was pleasantly surprised to have received for the price I paid. They were pretty busy, so there was a wait at the bar to order drinks/food, but nothing that struck me as poor service. I did enjoy an order of fried mushrooms from the kitchen which were delicious! Plenty of places to sit off to the side and out of the way, a back patio for smokers, a couple pool tables and a small dining area. A fairly large dance floor exists and seems to be where the majority of the patrons hung out. They played music that spanned late 60s - late 80s disco dance tunes, with the occasional modern hit thrown in here and there. In my opinion, the interesting & unique thing about this nightclub was the art decor. You can catch a glimpse/preview of such in the parking lot (which can be seen as you arrive via 350 HWY and/or 63rd Street) but it gets much more intricate once inside. It definitely places you in a world all its own, and a very fun and active environment at that! By the time I left, I was convinced that Funkytown was the perfect name for this one of a kind dive bar. Id recommend to anyone who asked or is looking for something different and unique from the nightlife experience! Be prepared to spend at least $35-50 at a minimum. Theres also a QuikTrip less than a couple minutes down 63rd Street for those closing time munchies.

Had a blast and I dont even drink;) Only issue I have is that I couldnt bring my 17 and 20 year olds who love to dance and dont drink. Wish you could have a bring your kids night once a week. We would be there every week. Would open up a whole new market.. No place in Kc to bring kids or young adults to dance. Would be a great example to set that you can dance and have fun without drinking alcohol. You could have all kids of fun drinks that dont have alcohol. Bet youd make just as much money...

Can we go negative 10? The club itself is a blast. Once you get leave your vehicle in the parking lot you re SOL. Supposedly they have security cameras which didnt help us at all when they directed us to park in a back lot where our Ford F350 which supports our livelihood... was stolen. Ive gotten messages from people all day who have had their cars broken into and stolen. Even an X employee who said this was normal when they worked there and that the club doesnt care whatsoever. The treatment we got last night was to bad for ya from a person with a staff shirt on and the only other word was.. Id call the cops. No manager, no help. No care. Its crazy. Go have a blast in the club it is great but I certifiably wouldnt drive any vehicle there and park it. Take a cab,bus etc or dont go.

My family really enjoyed coming to Funkytown! Loved the dancing the dress the Disco lights the music and of course the Car Wash!! Ty staff for making it so enjoyable and we plan on coming back! Kentertainment

Such a fun time! Danced my butt off with my friends. So much so that I was sore for several days- well worth it. Will definitely be going back.

Best dance club in KC, maybe the world! Many people come in period attire from the 70s and 80s! Extremely friendly people many of them are regulars. Great food, incredible fun.

Such a great time!!!! My friends and I loved it. Only gave 4 stars because the bouncer gave me a hard time for my temporary license (turned 22 the day prior) which was ridiculous.

Funky Town is a hidden gem among the bars and clubs within Kansas City; not your traditional pick up bar or dive but something truly unexpected.If the top notch music does not suit the non stop theatrics including a live car wash, motorized car and dancing buildings will keep everyone entertained.Dress to impress, Funky Town does enforce a dress code as well as a cash only bar and $5 cover...

Place is really cool and fun too bad the lady at the door l letting people in wasn’t. Very unpleasant person! Other than that it was a great place to hang out

Funky Town should tell people at the door if tables are all reserved! Paying a $10.00 cover & then finding out you don’t have a place to sit is pretty disappointing!!

Worst staff ever! Rude and dirty. They only played music pertaining to a certain group and had no knowledge of good disco, what a joke! They charge you a re-entry fee which is absolute bs. I will not be giving them my business again!

SO MUCH FUN. First things first. Cash only. Cash only. Next, dress up. My friends and I love coming here. We all get dressed up and dance for hours. I can’t say enough good things. I love this place.

The door people were incredibly rude and disrespectful. We had a whole party bus of people coming to give our business and only half of us were actually let in. Then the fire department showed up because they were over capacity. Extremely disappointed by this experience.

$10 cover cash only, only two people allowed in the door at a time. Dingy old building, packed full of sloppy drunks and a bunch of surprisingly old people. Music blaring as loud as any heavy metal concert Ive been to. Bar is also cash only, and their ATM fits the 1970s theme by being old junk.

Just a dump hole dance club, no waitresses had to stand in line for drinks and they are really slow. the choice of music was good lots of rude people though. I did not like the place.

I have been to Funky Town several times. But lastnight, I guess my torn jeans looked too good on me, and the OLD lady at the door told me NO TORN JEANS. LOL. Who wears jeans that arent torn? Hello? Where yal at? ...exactly. NOBODY

Went for my birthday . The waitress was awful, food was raw, orders were wrong. When I was in line for a drink, I had to wait over 20 minutes and then the people behind me were served first. Very dissatisfied with the entire experience.

Funky Town was amazing. My husband and I usally dont get out to much cause of crazy people, but this place had good vibe that hold time. We will definitely be going back!!!!

Never been treated so poorly. My girl is crying about how they treated her at the front door. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESERVE TABLES HERE THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT LET YOU IN.

Great time. Cash only for door and bar. There is a small patio you can smoke on. A little expensive. I believe the doir cover charge was 8$

Fun disco style night club, they do offer a full bar and it is cash only... Funky town does have an ATM on sight...

Great Place for somewhere I didnt know stoll existed. After all of these years. Great music and atmosphere. And great people. Definitely a must go to place. If you are in the area.

Best time to go is in October to see the Halloween show they put in!

Great fun. Good for people watching. Dancing, pool, drinks, and food. Dress up is fun. Cash only. Management very responsive to fb message. Good for bday or girls night out.

Is an amazing place to go on a Saturday night with friends! We always rent the upstairs VIP area for a group of 12 to 20 every time we go. Well worth it!

This place is so much fun and full of CRAZY! Drinks are okay, too...

Really fun Saturday night.Awesome place.

What great experience! Fun ppl and atmosphere. Must experience at least once in your life!

Very cool, safe, and fun place. But it is very irresponsible that this bar charges for water.

Staff was rude and unpleasant towards my wife, bartenders charge men more than women for the same exact drink, price for entry online says $8, but $10 at the door, and says they close at 1:30 AM online but they kick you out at 1AM.

Super fun place to shake it off and be yourself. Drinks are great prices and the wait staff is superb. Light hearted fun atmosphere.

The most fun Ive had in years. Everyone had fun!!! Place was packed!! Great experience!! Cant wait for next weekend.

Good music! 10$ cover...thats steep. 9$ a well drink...need more fans on dance floor

Lots of parkingMore for the white crowd they play technoBut definitely chill place to go

Cool atmosphere but weird rules. No drinks on the dance floor? Door guy was also pretty rude.

Had a blast!!! The door charge was $10 than all the drinks were cash only. No cards

Bathrooms are dangerously filthy. Food sucked. However with 30 hookers posted up in parking lot I had a good time.

Not only is there a cover its a cash only bar. Music was way too loud caused me a migraine after only 20minutes in the bar. Total rip off not with it all never go

Not enough serverd! We reserved a table and after the first 2 times she checked in that was it we did not see her unless we looked for her, ordered food wasnt cooked sent back.

This place is always a blast! It can be sometime Feel over crowded but it’s still so much fun!!!

Always GREAT to come here if your older than 28 years old its a good variety of music FROM our days and people around you.

Don’t know how I’ve lived in KC 15 years and never been.. 10/10 super fun environment and staff!!

Had a blast love the 70s/80s atmosphere!

A place unlike any other

Cool atmosphere, drinks were definitely pricey

This place rocks. A foam machine, pool tables, wacky people in 70s outfits. This place is a freaking riot.

Great music. Great atmosphere. Drink prices are reasonable. Well managed.

Bring your friends here and you will have a blast!There is a $8 cover but its totally worth it.

Been there many of times and always had a great time! You will too!

Great music.. fun crowd .. awesome throwback disco!

Fun atmosphere just wish the drinks were a little cheaper

Big and roomy mixed crowd 70s and 80s music you can be yourself

Get your throwback time completed for the whole year. You gotta visit at least once a year or month!

This is my go to place on Fridays for judgement-free dancing.

What a great time and atmosphere. If they were in Chicago or New York they would be billionaires

Great atmosphere. Cash only bar though... And a tad pricey...

Absolutely fun! Great atmosphere, great staff.

Very rude staff and arent very intelligent, the mozzarella sticks I ordered werent cook all the way.

Unexpectedly fun. The people were just there to have fun.

Fun atmosphere, great music.

Love this place. My wife celebrated her 70th birthday here. Food was good. But the place opens at 8 pm but dj didnt show up til 950. Drinks were in big cup for a good price. They played great music and the place was jumping. They need to dust the ceiling more often.

Best noght evr luvved one
