@postcardnews

Claiming to be the city’s oldest bar and grill, The Peanut has been a local hangout since the early 1930s. Its storied past includes bootlegging during Prohibition, but today it’s best known for its massive chicken wings and laid-back, neighborhood vibe. Recommended by The Kansas City Star and Thrillist, The Peanut provides a uniquely KC experience—unpretentious, lively, and steeped in local lore.
