City Barrel Brewery

City Barrel Brewery Company located in the East Crossroads area arts district of Kansas City, a trendy neighborhood with a diverse following for all kinds of things to feast upon. From food to microbrews, eclectic boutiques, coffee shops, art galleries, music venues, design-savvy businesses, and the artists themselves, it’s a unique and authentic cultural hub that invites discovery at every turn.

Located in a district that is known as “Brewer’s Alley,” the finished space is casual and inviting with a distinctly raw, industrial vibe. The entrance features a roll-up garage door, and the cobblestone floor is an aspect that has survived since its original construction. The design details are sleek and modern, juxtaposed against a backdrop of exposed brick and reclaimed wood.

Visitors dine and sample brews in the same cavernous space where the beer is crafted. The wood behind the bar was reclaimed from the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, and the tables and chairs were commissioned from a local craftsman.
