Mac's South KC Jazz & Blues, Kansas CityPractically in Grandview but technically in Kansas City, Mac’s South KC Jazz & Blues is both a popular neighborhood lounge and regional music destination.

Open from 4pm to 2am, in evening Mac’s might remind one of “Cheers”, a relaxing place with friendly, familiar faces every day. After 10:00 the younger crowd comes in and Mac’s transforms into an energized dance club.

If you’re hungry, the daily bar food includes wings, fish, and shrimp. On Sundays and Tuesdays the dinner special is pork chops with chicken rice and gravy.

For entertainment, there are dart leagues Wednesdays and Thursdays, and a DJ on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. There is also a live band once a month.
