This place is great! The staff is super cool, musics great... the 2 star rating is totally wrong.... at least for me :)
It used to be a fun place to go. My wife and I loved it when they first opened. Now its anything but a rock bar.
I cannot believe this place didnt shut down yet. I had a good time but with the activities I saw at this place shocked me a bit. And this is coming from someone who has done nightlife all across the country and Canada. Regarding the quality, this isnt a rock bar. It plays mostly hip hop music. And there is little room to dance.
Used to be able to come into this place and listen to a good variety of rock music (as one would expect given the name of the bar). Last time I went in they played rap/pop music all night long. I can get that at pretty much any other P&L bar. Play rock music or change the name of the bar.
Im assuming most people are upset because it says Rock in the name.Honestly wasnt sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a little better than expected. Ive honestly learned that you cant go off the title of something and assume that to be what youre going to receive. Titles, names of things are often more misleading than anything else. Needless to say I had a good time. Good mix of music and I genuinely appreciate the bartender who already knew how to make a liquid marijuana.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Ive been to A LOT of sh@#y bars in my life , but never before have I went to a bar that was advertised as one thing, and completely turned out to be something else. Was thete for over an hour (only because I wanted to justify my cover charge) and heard only 2 rock songs...FROM A ROCK BAR. If you want to be a hip hop club, stop advertising as a rock bar.
TLDRNot a lot of rock, service is hit or miss. For you if you like loud music and drinking. See below for details.This bar has been up and down for me. Sometimes its awesome, sometimes its garbage. Lets start with the positives. First its a club in every sense of the word, not a rock bar. If you like loud music (pop, EDM, dubstep, top 40, and occasionally a rock song), then the music selection is decent. The nights have potential to get wild, but do not always go that way (depends on the crowd and events going on in P&L). Bottle service and a booth can be inexpensive if you split it with a few friends. I have had some wild times here. On the downside, more often than not, I have had issues with the bar tenders not really knowing what theyre doing. They have screwed up my both my orders, and my check at the end of the night. Thats not to say there isnt a good staff member. Sometimes their service is on point. The bathrooms are usually a mess and if you came for the rock music you will be disappointed for the most part. I dont blame the DJ for this. As it was explained to me, the owner doesnt want rock music because it doesnt attract women, just men. And when men get drunk they just want to fight or have sex and since there is no women, they usually wound up fighting. So they play the other stuff to draw in a more appealing crowd. As it gets later in the night (after midnight) they will play more rock and metal. Closing thoughts: its not a bad bar. I like it and will probably be back, but its not for everyone.
They used to play good rock and metal music, like Marilyn Manson, NIN, Rob Zombie, etc, but now its like random hip hop and lighter songs that no one knows... It is sadly not what it used to be back when it first opened. The atmosphere is still overall fun, but if they still played the same music it would be more fun!
Prices are comparable to other bars in the district. Music is top notch- mostly rock and rap and the occasional top 40 hit. Bartenders are super attentive and quick, and security is on top of any problems that come up. Often times there’s no cover charge. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.
Believe it or not this is place is not as bad as some of the people are saying! Me and my friend got there last night and of course we showed our ID multiple times to get it different clubs, Honestly we paid $10 each to get in and it was so much fun! However CROWDED!! We went upstairs to a different club the girl didnt take money from us because of the looks I gave her when she mentioned I had to pay another $5 each. We got in and had fun and left to go to the angels Rock bar & all the security did was check out IDs again we did not pay to get in!!! I met some cool people there and the music was very good. Overall I enjoyed it was a lot of fun!
Awesome place! Live DJ plays great music, and the bar girls definitely know how to dance. Fantastic atmosphere for straight up fun.
Excellent experience. Coyote ugly feel. Great energy from the dancers. DJ played excellent music.
My fiancé and I accidentally walked into Angels one night, wanting to go to Mosaic. We handed the lady at the front desk a $20 bill for our cover charge. RIGHT after I gave it to her I said, “Oh whoops, can I have that back? We went into the wrong bar.” She says no and then continues to give me my change.
Best DJ in Kansas City. Come here to listen to a variety of music (not just rock). Times have changed. Rock bar is a fun time.
Those who stand in the door are very hostile and disrespectful and act brutally. For young people who like to have fun, whether alone or with their friends, I urge them to avoid this annoying place where there is no good and respectable service.
Typically I love this place and think its so fun. Tonight, the bouncer was so unprofessional and clearly not trained well. He bent and creased all three of our IDs in half. My friend who is from Illinois and of age, was told to leave because his ID didnt pass the bouncers bend test. As we were leaving the bouncer was yelling derratotory things at us. The cops were summoned and escorted us out (because they of course agreed with the bouncer) We all three have legitimate IDs and are all of age. Not sure what the bouncers deal was tonight but we will never go back.
For a place with rock bar in their name, they played very little of that genre. Something along the lines of about 4 or 5 rock songs per hour during the 2 and a half hours I was there. The rest of the music they play is typical bad R&B/rap/dance/top 40 tripe that I could get at pretty much any other night club. What set Angels apart WAS the music they used to play - now they are as tired and boring as any other cookie cutter dive. So sad, this place used to be so unique, too. Add to the mix rude door attendant and bouncers, three of five bartenders who never smiled once, and a (now) generally lame atmosphere. Sadly, if you want a cool club, if you want a place to listen to rock, then Angels is NOT for you!!
When I was here it was just a place for creepy dudes to ogle young gogo dancers while they listened to out of style music. Not my thing but if you think music peaked with Metallica here is your place.
Worst customer service ever. The girl waited on us was beyond nasty and rude. The level of unprofessionalism displayed by her flirting and letting others wait over 30 minutes for a drink was beyond excusable. This place is dirty and sticky with an atmosphere Id reserve for a back alley in most cities. The drink prices were beyond ridiculous and I will never recommend this nasty place for anything other than syphilis.
Advertised as a ROCK club, has ROCK decor but plays hip hip music. Was not impressed, will never return and will not recommend to those looking for a place to listen and enjoy ROCK music.
When you have to pay $8-$10 for a drink plus a cover you might as well plan on not making your next car payment coming here. Music is a mix of which most is not rock. The skanks dancing on the bar in ripped up old clothes doesnt help either. This place has got to change or close. Rather disappointed with power and light in general because of outrageous prices just for drinks but this place is the worst. Im not sure if people are just more stupid or Im getting old (probably both) but quality = higher prices and quality lacks at this establishment.
Such a blast for starters the Dj is great really knows how to mix the songs and to make sure the music is Constant Great variety Of music really gets everybody blood going and just a fun atmosphere The bartenders work there tail off you really have to grab their attention or youll be waiting all night for a drink There is at least 30-40 ppl asking 3 bartenders for drinks at all times so dont be shy speak up get their attention They will take care of you just make sure they notice you the staff is great they like to have fun and is great to the customers Long as you dont do anything stupid that isOverall a 5 star for me definitely will be going again soon
Go here if you want to have the waitress and Bouncer Cold cock you and add themselves a $200..00 tip.I was shocked by the behavior of the employees.Beware, Beware.
This place is always fun!! good atmosphere and the people are pretty nice!
This is the stickiest bar in Kansas City. Its as if someone spilled Kool-aid all over the floor and let it dry. There were also stains on the sofas. I dont even want to know.
I had a great time and was sober ill be back
I was hoping for rock music, but they were playing rap music instead.
Just stepped in to by a drink during one of the hot summer nights concerts.. Charged me $30 for 2 drinks I just bought across the isle for $14 .. Not cool
No thanks.
Horrible environment!!!!!! Guys pay a $10 cover, girls pay $5. It looks like a poor mans strip joint. DO NOT GO HERE!
I asked the waitress if she could poop on mychest and surprisingly she did ... Never been to a place were this happens for a low price of 120
Bunch of suit and ties.
