New Johnson County restaurant, sports bar opens. Burgers, beers, more

For 40 years, Brooksider has offered cocktails, beers and watch parties in its namesake neighborhood. The walls of 6330 Brookside Plaza have held festivities since 1985. Father-son duo Chuck and Jack Naylor, meanwhile, have owned the bar for about 14 years. But the pair added a new chapter to Brooksider’s book Monday, with the opening of its second location. This one is across state lines, though it bears the same name as its original location. Brooksider’s new space — 5001 Town Center Drive in Leawood — offers multiple levels of indoor and outdoor dining. Altogether, it seats 688 patrons. Customers can experience a more intimate setting by choosing to sit in the cocktail lounge-style section. That area aims to give a “date night” vibe, said general manager Ryan Proffitt, though it’ll still have some TVs to broadcast Chiefs games. (The menu will be consistent throughout the restaurant, too.) An outdoor patio has its own bar, fire pits, heaters and televisions so customers can sit outside as long as possible. Another interior bar neighbors two dart boards and a long, narrow sun room. An upstairs event space plans to open soon, though Proffitt said it’s not quite ready. “We’re shooting for

10 Missouri Fried Chicken Dinners Folks Would Argue Over Before Any Fancy Steak

One Missouri restaurant has been tossing hot dinner rolls across the dining room since 1942. Servers fling them, and you catch them. I love that a fried chicken trip can come with a side of outfield practice. That same spirit runs through this whole list. One spot sells mashed potatoes...

Luxurious design, apartments for rent. See inside the Aladdin, a converted KC hotel

Inside Look is a Star series that takes our readers behind the scenes of some of the most well-known and not-so-well-known places and events in Kansas City. Have a suggestion for a future story? Email our journalists at InsideLook@kcstar.com. What was once a hotel in downtown Kansas City has been transformed into an apartment building with 122 units after a $38 million redevelopment project. The 16-story Aladdin building at 1215 Wyandotte St. was built over 100 years ago and was once famed for its luxurious design and prominent guests over the decades. The hotel, by then under the Holiday Inn brand, closed around the time the COVID-19 pandemic started, according to previous reports . By early 2025, a development team led by Molzer Development had taken over the building and fully kicked off construction with a ceremonial wall breaking. Aladdin building open and leasing Not even two years later, the Aladdin is now open and leasing , and tenants have already moved in. A recent tour with The Star revealed historic fixtures restored alongside modern flourishes meant to match the existing architectural character, like a new chandelier right in the entrance.

Popular OP antique furniture booth moving to new Brookside shop: ‘Really beautiful'

A popular antique furniture and interior design store that was previously a booth inside a Johnson County antique mall, is moving to its own storefront this week. Hydrangea House , which has over 11,000 social media followers, opened inside the Glenwood Antique Mall at 9030 Metcalf Ave in Overland Park last year. Mother and daughter duo Jessica Carpenter and Abigail Gaughan initially got a 164-square-foot booth and quickly expanded to a 2,000-square-foot space to better serve shoppers looking for curated vintage furniture and carefully reupholstered couches and chairs. “We just want to sit and talk to people, and it’s really hard to do that in an antique mall. If you’ve ever tried, it’s very challenging to have a conversation with somebody and sit down with them and talk to them about their house,” said Gaughan, the owner of Hydrangea House. Carpenter, the Hydrangea House’s Chief Creative Officer, is an interior designer by trade. Customers regularly seek her advice on anything from basic interior design tips to what color to paint a house’s exterior. “We have somebody who drives from Iowa the first weekend of every month to come see us, and she’s just adorable,” she said. Gaughan and Carpenter came

New KC-area coffee shop opens, bringing a taste of K-State to Johnson County

Between a steady stream of athleisure-clad customers Monday were a smattering of those sporting Wildcat-lavender sweatshirts and TWA tees. They stood inside what was previously an antique shop of 20 years. Those items have been cleared, and a row of first-class seats from a Delta plane currently lines an interior wall. A Nuova Simonelli espresso machine now hums atop a bar covered in reflective steel. Several aviation pieces — an old plane window, a wooden propeller, a suitcase from the 60s — were supplied by associates of the TWA Museum in Kansas City, a museum honoring the Trans World Airlines that was once headquartered in Kansas City and operated for several decades. It’s adjacent to the Charles Wheeler Airport downtown. Though it just opened, Kansas State alumni are likely already familiar with the new coffee shop in Overland Park. For the past five years, its original launch pad has been a popular fixture in downtown Manhattan. Flight Crew quietly opened its second location at 8025 Santa Fe Drive Monday, bringing an elevated (flight-themed) concept to downtown Overland Park. It’s open daily, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting now. Owner and founder Heather Hnizdil threw open the doors and crossed
