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.

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.

(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
