City Barrel Opens in Brookside

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate-Kansas City Homes

Finally.....City Barrel Pizza + Patio has opened it's new location, straddling the unofficial boundary of Brookside and Waldo at 120 E Gregory, in the former Bier Station space. Well friends, it was worth the wait, because this place has the similar beloved vibe of Bier Station with a few extra amenities.

You've probably noticed the large, brand new patio built right in front of the space, now featuring more shade, plenty of tables, swings that face street and outdoor games for the kids. Our neighborhood loves a good patio, and this is one of the best around--plus dogs are welcome! Inside the newly remodeled space, you'll see a few tomato red booths, the same long (full) bar with several City Barrel brew offerings, an upstairs room for private parties and and an expanded menu.

Co owner Joe Giammanco says "We love being part of the neighborhood. Our staff is awesome, the space is beautiful but it's the customers that give it the good vibe". Joe talked with former owner Bier Station owner John Couture for years, expressing his interest in this spot when John was ready to move on. That finally happened in late 2022, (John is currently developing a new project, Local Liquid) and after dealing with all the usual construction and government red tape delays, City Barrel Pizza + Patio opened this Spring.

Joe is especially proud of the pizza they are selling here; besides the usual topping options there are some unusual offerings that are quite popular: the "smash burger" and "sweet heat" pies, plus the "krab rangoon". The New York inspired style thin crust was developed by Javier Nunez of Aurora Cafe and Bakery in Overland Park. In addition, there is a kids' menu, three types of salads, a lunch special for $12 (large slice, salad and fountain drink) and coming soon: sandwiches. Joe says they have been very busy, especially on weekend nights; if you are in a hurry--order your food ahead for pick up. And when the snow hits this winter, Joe plans to do "snow days" like Bier Station did--they will open up with whatever staff can come in, and nearby residents can walk over to hang out.

 

Go by and check out City Barrel Pizza + Patio soon--the cooler fall weather is perfect for enjoying a beverage with friends on the patio or bringing the family over for a meal. They are open every day except Mondays. You'll be welcomed by the friendly staff and tasty food!
