On the Grid : Stockyards Brewing Co.

"While not quite open yet — slated for early Spring, 2016 — these guys are well-positioned to be a beacon for where the West Bottoms are headed. Situated in the former Golden Ox space, they’ve successfully breathed new life into the space while keeping some of the cowboy charm. They’re brewing on-site, duh, with the aim to open with 5 beers and eventually distribute. Ranging from Pilsner to what they’re calling a Brunch Stout, they’re all unpretentious, drinkable beers. Yes, so much yes. I had a sneak peek taste of the stout and it was mighty tasty. They'll have bar munchies too." - Faregrounds

Made a quick stop here and enjoyed the atmosphere. I’m not much of a beer drinker but the brew I had was quite nice. What I especially enjoyed was the merchandise. From what I could tell they are buying secondhand shirts and attaching their own branding. The result is unique, one of a kind, shirts. Super clever.

What a great time we all had at the Sunday Service at the stockyard. Great music and entertainment. Just a part of Kansas city music culture and a must see.

Top notch brewery!! Really rad interior. Incredible beer. My non beer drinking mother had lots of options! I will be back very soon. The black lager and the Mexican lagers were stand outs to me! Excited to try the golden ox on the next trip down to the area!

My favorite brewery! Not only do they have great beer, and a great selection of tequila and whiskeys, but they also happen to be very kind people. They are in the old stockyard exchange, where all the cattle that came through KC went to be bought, sold, and slaughtered! A piece of KC history! Now the building is Stockyard Brewery, The Golden Ox, and a bunch of office space that I really don't know anything about. It has a cool rustic cowboy feel with lots of nice wood-grained bar, super comfy leather stools, and a cool island sitting area across from the main bar. You can even see the brewery right down the hallway to the back room and second bar. Definitely some fresh, delicious, local beer. It's a really cool spot. You're sleeping if you haven't been down there to at least check out one of their Sunday Service events! They have some great bands set up in the back parking lot area and jam out! They usually have a food truck of some kind in case you don't feel like eating next door. Good times folks! I highly recommend it.

The Sunday Serice features local acoustic, bluegrass, and Americana music every Sunday from 3 to 6. The Matchsellers were amazing 9/29/24. Great venue, great beer, food truck, and plenty of parking. It is located in the old Golden Ox lounge. Very historic cozy bar where everyone is having fun.

This review is for the Airport location. The meal was waaaaay overpriced and the portions were extremely small. I ordered the BBQ plate with burnt end add on. They were out of rips unfortunately so I got brisket in addition to burnt ends. To say that what I received on my tray was absolute disappointment! I wouldn’t even call these burnt in they are bland chunks of meat. I will never return to this place and I hope the manangement actually reads these posts and attempts to do a better job. I feel like this place preys on travelers with “Kansas BBQ” and it is nothing like what is in the city

The best feature of this bar is the ambiance. It's got a sort of old-school rustic fanciness you see more in movies than in real life here in 2024. The service is also really good, and most of the crowd seemed to be loyal regulars. The beers were good, but not great. Nothing here offended me, everything was expertly brewed but...nothing blew me away in its flavor or uniqueness.

One of the coolest breweries I've been to. The decor reminds of being in some western cowboy film. The beer was great with tons of craft selection. Solid deal for a flight and cool staff

When you step into Stockyards Brewery, it feels like you travel back in time, where wood and cowboy charm reign supreme...there is definitely an old-school coolness with a spacious layout. Now, let's talk about the beer. Oh, sweet nectar of the gods! I got a taste of the Stockyards Black IPA, and let me tell you, it was like drinking liquid gold. The brewers here are clearly brewing sorcery in those barrels. The servers guide you through their heavenly selection with a smile, making you feel like the beer connoisseur you secretly wish to be. But watch out for the parking situation--it's like a riddle wrapped in a mystery. I couldn't figure out if I was allowed to park...more signage is needed! So I just parked on the street. One thing that might have been nice (if I'd been hungry, which I wasn't) is a food menu. Maybe something to add in the future? In a nutshell, Stockyards Brewery is a hoppy haven that takes you back to the good ol' days. The beer brewed here is absolutely fantastic, too!!

What a super cool place!! You literally feel as if you are in a time warp back to the height of the KC Stockyards. This place is very nice and very unique. Aldi, the beer is great. The size of the pours are as big as a regular serving maybe pint size. I am not sure how many ounces but huge!!! Make sure if you are coming to do a flight to ride in an Uber!!

This was a great cozy spot to visit. The atmosphere and bartender were awesome. One downside is they don't serve food but great restaurant next door. Great Variety of beer for your consumption. I enjoyed the hefeweuzen (sp?)

If you enjoy good music and a local beer to sip on, you should definitely check out Stockyards. Located in the historic Stockyards district, this place is an uncommon find amongst more modern buildings and new bougee condos. When you step into Stockyards, you'll think you were thrown in a time machine and that you came out into a different century. The owners have kept with the original intent of the building (originally the Golden Ox). It's beautiful. As for beers, I really like the Cerveza Royale and their Yard Sale Pale Ale. If you come on a Sunday, you might even see a blue grass band. They even have food trucks outside. Definitely worth checking out.

First, I love all the chances to explore the Bottoms, when showing a friend around KC who also loves beer we decided to check out this brewery. My friend had the Black IPA and the Hazzy IPA, I don't care for IPA's but he convinced me to try both, and I actually quite enjoyed them. I had the Stout and the Scottish Ale. By far the Scottish and the Hazzy were my top picks. I just loved the overall flavors and taste. The establishment was so cute and felt both rustic and intimate.

This is a cool little spot that finds itself in a neighborhood that is coming back to life. It makes its home in part of the original Golden Ox, a long gone legendary Kansas City restaurant, and does a good job embracing those roots. Besides the old wood paneling, the venue has a few old photos and other historical items hanging on its walls that will take you back in time and tug on your nostalgia parts. It's a cozy spot. While there is a decent sized bar, most of the room is made up of small tables and booths. Depending on what's going on, it can fill up quickly. Speaking of what's going on, the venue doesn't have something every night, but does schedule some events here and there. Sometimes they have live music. Sometimes they'll play some vinyl. Other nights they'll play trivia. Regardless, of what's going on, it's usually pretty chill. One last note, the venue does not serve food however they do allow you to bring it in. This is convenient because there are a few good spots within walking distance.

Over the last few years Kansas City has been a hub for amazing microbreweries and Stockyards is at the top of my list. Located in the East Bottoms, Stockyards seems like a secret hideout that transports you to another place. I always leave happier than when I arrived (maybe that's the beer talking?) The decorations are Western themed but in the coolest way possible. I walk in and feel like I'm in Westworld about to get in a bar fight. The beers here are delicious. The Cerveza happens to be my favorite because of it's light and refreshing taste. Close second is the Hefeweizen which has more depth but is equally refreshing. They have live music some nights and we haven't made it out to enjoy this experience but it's definitely on my must do list soon!

I enjoyed Stockyards a lot! The West Bottoms is such a cool area and the history down there is equally unique. The initial vibe isn't really like most of the places I usually go, but the beer is good and the interior is quite nice. It feels almost like a private club area. Maybe like a cigar or poker club? See for yourself! I can't remember the name, but they had a really nice light sour beer when I visited that I really enjoyed. If it comes to me, I'll update here!

Went for a couple of drinks here early on a Friday afternoon. I had a flight- you get to pick any 4 of the beers from their current rotation. I had the cerveza, two wheats, and a stout. The stout was my favorite. I ordered another wheat, and they asked if I'd like raspberry or passion fruit in it- I had them put raspberry in it- it was delicious! My only disappointment is that I got hungry and only half of their snack menu was available. If they up their food offerings, I would give them 5 stars!

It's a drive but always worth it!! Love this brewery. The inside is smaller but unique. Sometimes there is live music. Plenty of beer options. They also have a few wine and liquor options. The service is always great. I've never had to wait too long for another drink. They also have some good munchies to snack on. The chips are so good. Thin, crispy and salty. The dill sauce is super fresh. I will definitely keep coming back!!

THIS PLACE IS BADA**!! From the outside you would never expect what you walk into. It's a step into what I can only imagine was the prime of the 70's! Carpet everywhere! Lots of wood, dark corners and old western paintings lining the walls. It was pretty cool for the young people! They have an awesome event space to rent out located next to the brewery inside. Pretty big space. The brewery is cool with windows to see what is going on. And the drinks were really good too. They have a cool beer menu, evening offering flight sizes which is nice for the light drinkers. Highly recommend this really coo hidden gem. A hidden highlight of Kansas City's past!

This is hands down my favorite drinking establishment in Kansas City!!! I love the atmosphere! The vibe here is somewhat speak easy esque without the expensive prices and exclusitivity. The beer is extremely tasty! If you like stouts you have to try the brunch stout! It's my personal favorite. The cerveza royale is the perfect option for those who prefer light beers. Honestly, all of their beers are top notch and you cannot go wrong!!! Hurry up! Go check this place out! Who knows! You may even run into me!

This looks like the kind of place you'd pull up a spot next to Don Draper and his fellow Ad-men after a long day of drinking at the office. Sub out the scotch for some solid beers in this former Golden Ox space and you've got the new Stockyards Brewing. The throwback interior adds a unique element to the beer scene in town, as does the nice beer list. I love a lot of the breweries around town for their patios (and usually dog-friendly patios) but this one is an exception. The magic happens and stays indoors here, which might bode well in the cooler months. I did a flight with: Golden Alt (C+) Papa Pils (A-) Brunch Stout (C) West Bottoms IPA (A-) So for me, a mixed bag that trended positively. The Golden Alt sounds like something I'd like but I just didn't care for it. It was like a hybrid of 4 beers with Hefeweizen elements, Saison elements.. it didn't work for me. The Pils was flavorful, refreshing and perfect for the summer. Would love to have that again. The Brunch Stout should be called a Punch Stout. This thing fights back with a flavor overload. It grew on me as I went through it. The West Bottoms IPA hit the spot on this particular morning. That's right I said morning, it was a holiday vacation don't judge! It reminded me a lot of the Boulevard Pale Ale, with a mellower flavor than most IPAs but still very good. I think the best is ahead for this cool spot and I'm glad to see more and more places like this popping up around not only the West Bottoms, but the city in general.

A classy bar reminiscent of yesteryear. The decor is of Rich mahogany...kinda a big deal. They brew their own beer here and you can get a flight to sample. The bartender was friendly and I had a good time. They do have some nice TVs with football on. The spot is a little out of the way but worth it. The area has lots of KC history and was once the stockyards for hogs.

Super awesome venue, the building opened in 1949 and still has the classic feel to it. When you walk in, you time warp back to the 40's and the vibe radiates through the air. The stockyards have a rich history in Kansas City and Stockyards Brewing embraces that. The beer is awesome, we split two flights and checked in on Untapped only to find that if you level up, free gear is available. Staff was super nice and helpful and atmosphere was awesome. Drop by and give em a try! Pro Tip: Order extra dipping sauce if you get the house cut chips!

The place still feels like an episode of Mad Men except now they've swapt dirty martinis, steaks and oyster shooters for lots of good brew. Men in suits for men with beards and Charlie Hustle shirts. Cigar smoke for the scent of hops and yeast fermenting into liquid gold. Couldn't ask for a better new beginnings for this old soul building. Much of the Golden Ox is still visable. New owners are legit in their love of all things beer, Kansas City history and it's inhabitants. So I wasn't at all surprised to find them lacking in pretention and absolutely chill hanging at the bar chatting about brew. Beer, for no other reason than this did I go but soon I found out a full menu will follow. Can't wait. I sampled almost everything on tap in a couple flights, personal faves saison and stout. Great for groups, couples or solo at it's ridiculously comfy bar.

For weekend #6 of my Covid-19 KC brewery tour, I went to Stockyards Brewing. This visit was a quick 2 steps in and out the back door to pick up a 6 pack and some Beer Jerky to go. Certainly not as pleasurable as my last visit of drinking in-house but just as thirst quenching. Stockyards tasting room / bar is one of those great renovated spaces that anyone with a love of KC history or the era when cattle and cowboys ruled the mid-west; needs to pay a visit. This trip I only sampled 1 beer instead of a flight. I took home a 6 pack of 12 oz cans of County Clare Irish Ale (5.5%ABV) for $9 and a 2 stick pack of Scottish Ale Beer Jerky for $4. A very good Ale and certainly the most economical of the past 6 weeks exploring the Beer Brewers and Architects of Ale in this great metropolis. The process on line was easy to order and was ready in a few minutes. I can't wait to return and soak up the historical artifacts, maps and murals next time, but thanks for the great little buzz while I puttered around my yard during the pandemic.

Walking in here it kind of reminds me of an old steakhouse, which in this case is a positive thing! They've kept the vibe and feel of the stockyards and it's history while still being new and trendy. We were here before 5 on a weekday and the bartender was doing an excellent job of handling everyone and still being friendly and efficient. The bartender made a legitimately good old fashioned which made me very happy! I love having that option at a brewery. Overall, this was a very positive experience

Stockyards is one of my favorite breweries that I have been to so far in Kansas City! They stayed true to their roots, and Stockyards keeps the old live stock facility vibe that dominated West Bottoms so many years ago. They have a wide variety of beers on tap and while none of them really blew me away, the atmosphere made up for it. Stockyards also has live music on Sunday afternoons which made for a great surprise --- and a packed brewery!

Located in the old Golden Ox lounge, this place aesthetically will confuse anyone not familiar with the old steak place. Those of us who are from KC will marvel at how Stockyards Brewing was able to re-purpose a seeming ancient motif. The moment I walked in, I think I audibly gasped. It. Looks. Exactly. The Same! Maybe strange for an industry that seemingly takes Industrial Hip Interiors as gospel, it's nice to see a brewery that's warmer and full of character. Now for the beers! The boyfriend and I tag-teamed the flights (Four 4-oz pours for $7) so out of the 10 beers they had, we tried 8. Holy smokes! That Smoked Imperial Pilsner is hands down one of the most interesting and addicting beers I've had in my life. I told the bf that it was like drinking smoked Gouda... but not cheesy. Anyway, I also loved their Black IPA and their Golden Alt. I'm not even much of a beer drinker (wine's my game) but I absolutely loved this place. They have a cocktail list and they also serve cans of soda along with some munchies. We were here on a nice Sunday evening and there were people and families and children hanging around. You'll notice they carry several scotches and whiskies and a rum and a gin and a tequila. After looking at their cocktail menu, they only carry the liquors necessary for their cocktails and I honestly find that hilarious. If you want a rum and coke, though, I bet they'd hook you up. We ended the night with shots of rye and the bartender did one with us. So, I'm a fan. Big fan. This place will be huge. It's awesome. No other places are good. Fake breweries. This place is a winner.

Stockyards is my FAVORITE brewery in this city. I love the decor, I love the music, I love the crowd, I love the location and best of all I love their Beer selection! $8 flight for 4 samplers and $6 for a pint. Love the round bar, love the lighting, love the bar snacks and I think everyone should come here and drink with me! That. Is. All.

I love Stockyards! I love the cerveza, it really is a good atmosphere whether the place is super busy or there are only two other tables. I wish they had the cerveza canned at the grocery store/liquor stores though so I could drink it on the regular!

I sat down and asked the bartender to try one sample of a beer, I tried it and did not like it. I asked same bartender if I could try a sample of a different beer. At that point, the bartender threw a fit like a giant man baby. His words "what are we going to sample every beer tonight" Excuse me but if you don't realize this your job is dependent on your service, you're an idiot. F&$@ this bartender and to hell with this place. Zero stars for shit service

The Golden Ox was a Kansas City landmark. I had been in once, right after their grand opening, and thought this place was alright. It was extremely crowded, and while the beers were good, they weren't really my style. Going back a second time, I think they Stockyards Brewing has definitely found their tempo. Just like the venerable old restaurant whose space it now occupies, Stockyards Brewing works best as an intimate experience. The curved booths can give you the feeling of privacy even though you're in the middle of the room. Carry a flight to a small table in the corner and tuck into a conversation. Even the bar, with just the right amount of lighting, is inviting and close. You can wander around the corner and down the hallway to see some of the historical pictures of the stockyard that originally put Kansas City an the national map. And just as important as the deep history of the venue are the staff who keep it, and keep it they do. You can tell these people have a love of the history of the city as much as they have a love of beer. And they have much to tell you about both of those loves. I would definitely recommend taking the tour into the older parts of the building, as well as the newer additions and hear about how they got started. You'll develop a deeper appreciation. Just like Golden Ox before, I would say this is not a great place for children, but it doesn't have to be. This is a perfect adult's night out. Grab a table and enjoy a beer or two and you'll feel like you're having the same kind of secret conversation in a smoke filled room you've seen in movies, only without all the smoke.

Ghosts of the old historic Golden Ox still reside here. If only they could talk! I am absolutely thrilled that a fine brewery has opened here and really left the Ox vibe in tact. They've done a bit of clean up (and to be sure, it needed it) and the bar is modern, parts of it rehabbed and what a nice job they did. But... it's all about the beer, and a fine job they're doing. You'll know I was happy by the time I left around 3:00 p.m. because I had three different beers. Started with the Smoked Imperial Pilsner which intrigued me. Different, that's for sure and part way through it after you get over the shock, it really works. Who knew? Fine glass of beer for sure but maybe a bit out there on the edge. I like that. For #2 I went with the Golden Alt. Light but surprisingly hoppy, leaning towards an IPA I thought. Good, but not my favorite. Not a criticism of the beer, just my tastes. Ended with the Hefeweizen which was nice and malty and full of that overripe banana after-taste. Quite fine. Clear they really know what they're doing here and I love the fact that a brewery has opened in this part of town and pays homage to its former long-time tenant by leaving much of the feel of the place. They have live music once in awhile and I could dig kicking back and listening while quaffing a few pints. Very well done, Stockyards! Very well done. Hope to return soon.

So much fun and a great atmosphere. The service is attentive but also laid back and welcoming. Their Mexican lager is insanely tasty but I definitely suggest a flight to try multiple beers because they are all great (and it's a good deal). Live music is always a blast too. They are slightly pricier than most breweries.

Cool place with deliciousness in a glass. Hip ladies at the bar trying to match your taste preference with their offering. Really good beer offerings. The Fox Trotter Scottish was definitely my favorite.

Local Beer Nerd Reporting... I tried most of the beer offerings during my visit and they have a solid core of beers. Here is my beer by beer review: Hefeweizen: Bananas and clove flavors abound in this one which is exactly the way a good Hefeweizen should be. Enjoyable beer I could have a few of these in a sitting. Golden Alt: Clean beer with lots of complex malt flavors. Again another very crushable beer. Papa Pils: Fantastic Pilsner! This might be one of the best Pils in town. I bought a growler of this to take home. Brunch Stout: Coffee bomb. Way too much coffee for me but I am not a coffee lover so this just isn't my kind of beer. Black IPA: Roasty and malty but where are the hops? This is more of a below average porter than an IPA. West Bottoms IPA: Disappointing, another IPA missing the much desired IBUs. The base beer has great color and malt flavors but zero in the hops department. I also have to mention that the ambiance of this place is awesome. From the leaded glass ceiling above the bar to wood walls this place has a lot of character of the old days of the West Bottoms. Take some time to walk around and look at the pictures and art work.

This is a fun place to grab a beer on a lazy Sunday afternoon. They have lots of interesting beers. You can try flights of any four. They have a nice cocktail menu as well. I enjoyed the heck out of my Old Fashioned. There are limited bar snacks, but you're not going to get full eating here, The bar staff was friendly and helpful. The decor is super retro (original). I'll be back to try a flight or two.

I am happy to report that the Golden Ox has been lovingly transitioned from an iconic West Bottoms steakhouse into a beautiful brewery. You can tell the owners worked hard to maintain the cozy feel of the Ox, but updated the space for today's beer-loving clientele. My husband and I visited on a Friday night and ordered a flight to share. While all of the beers were good, we were particularly fond of the farmhouse ale. We also ordered some chips and cashew queso. It was smooth and perfectly spicy and delicious enough to convince me to try to recreate it at home. Stockyards is a great addition to the KC brewery scene. We will definitely be back!

Greg H.

Yelp
Friendly bartenders, great tasting easy to drink beer, old school ambiance. Had the beer flight. Definitely the way to go if you are not a regular. I even grabbed a six pack to go. be aware other drink options are limited. so if anyone in your party does not like beer there are a few wine options and canned drinks. Top tip... Its next to the Golden Ox restaurant. Start at the brewery then head to "The Ox" for dinner.

This place is pretty cool, nice decor, and classic feel. It's out of the way from other areas of KC. A little confused coming in here. I brought a growler. To get the growler filled. Took a look at the menu and requested a fill. Black IPA to be specific. The guy tells me, uh not really supposed to fill growlers but ok. Hey If I make it out to this place and walk in with a growler tell me right away if you don't fill growlers in a brewery. Growler filled and 1/4 of the bottle was foam. I'll stick to doublebordertorn brews. Anyway the Black IPA was pretty good. Dark not much citrus taste to it, more malty flavor.

I have to give this place five stars for several reasons. Location is ideal as it is quiet and has ample parking. It's also annexed off the Stockyard Exchange building in the historic French Bottoms of KC. The owners are a few young adults on site and very friendly. One of the owners, Ray, gave us a brief history of the area and the bar. The booze is brewed on site and the brewery has windows all around it so you can see it being made. The decor is rustic, vintage, and is in tune with old western Kansas City. The menu is limited which is fine because the beer is what's most important anyway! This place has the relaxed feel of Westport but without the cheesy hipsters. I highly recommend Stockyards for a mature crowd looking for a good, homemade brew.

Great location, great brews. Usually 5-8 beers on tap. Beer not your thing? They make great hand-crafted cocktails as well. I highly recommend the Black IPA, the beer behind the brewery.

We had so much fun at the Yelp sponsored beer tour. We started with a flight and we had some great beers. I really enjoyed the Scotch Ale. We had a tour that was given by Greg and I loved his enthusiasm and knowledge of beer and the great history review of the area. I am happy to see they held on to a lot of the nostalgia of the old Golden Ox. I am sure I will be back to this place over and over. Thank you to Yelp for putting together another great event and thank you to venue for being so welcoming!!!

Beer for beer my favorite brewery in town. To each their own when it comes to filling your pint(s) but I'm a fan of their taps not being dominated by sours and IPA's. It's not the exact same as drinking a true foamy Scottish in a Highlands pub but their Fox Trotter Scottish is the best I've had anywhere around KC. Sláinte!

Really cool atmosphere and delicious beer! Next time I would like to go to Stockyards for drinks and then head to Golden Ox for dinner. That area down there has so many cool bars and restaurants. Can't wait to see it continue to develop!

I was not expecting stockyards to be so much fun. It's in a pretty obscure area, but it's worth the trip. The building has a lot of history, which is an important part of its allure. I'm not certain how much of the interior is original, but it's very cool. True to the history of the area, the interior is themed as an old ranch exchange meeting room. The rustic light fixtures, leather swivel chairs, pewter livestock statues, and ranch land mural really sell the feeling of being in an old cowboy's bar. Stockyards even kept the old Golden Ox statue near the parking lot. It truly is an experience to visit stockyards and learn about the history of that area, which is often overlooked as an in important part of KC history. As for the beer, they have solid brews in their own right as well as visiting beers from other breweries in the city.

I'm always excited to try out a new local brewery and this one had been on my list for some time. From the outside it looks like your typical local craft microbrewery, but once you walk inside it becomes clear that they are doing something unique here. First of all the most important thing: the beer. It was delightful! Their Belgian wit is truly different and very enjoyable, and they offered a good variety of beers without spreading themselves too thin. I had a flight and enjoyed each beer I sampled, none of them disappointed though like I said the wit really stood out. What takes this establishment beyond your average tasting room is the ambiance. They have maintained the original interior of the Golden Ox which gives it an old school Kansas City steakhouse vibe which is warm, inviting, and really fun. It's nice to see a new bar tap into the historic culture of the city. Beyond that it has plenty of seating and friendly staff - I can't wait to return!

Good beer and good atmosphere! A little out of the way but the beer was worth it. We would really like to go back for the restaurant as well. We went for an evening with friends... you can play cards, chat, and sample some good cold beer. People of all kinds were there the night we were which made it even more fun!

I waited way too long to try this KC classic!!! In the west bottoms, a little gem. The western theme of the brewery sets it apart from many of the new breweries in the crossroads. It is a spacious brewery with huge seating areas for large groups. You can also order snacks, we had popcorn with our delicious beers. The tour seems like a great deal - a tour and a flight of beer after with your ticket purchase. I haven't gone on the tour but plan on looking into it.
