This is a fictional review based on actual person/ people you probably know. Today’s review is of the Kansas City area’s only hockey bar, The Blue Line. You can find The Blue Line in the River Market district downtown at 529 Walnut, Kansas City, MO. And online at thebluelinekc.com
My personal opinion: It’s quaint, it has a lot of cool hockey stuff on the walls, and it shows hockey. All you need as a hockey fan, right? For bar food, the food is actually pretty decent. When hockey isn’t going on, they show sports and whatnot, so it’s just another nice place to hang out downtown. Nothing flashy, but cool to have here in town. But don’t take it from me, check it out yourself!
Today’s reviewer: Some middle-management type bro in his late-20s from a downtown corporate office nearby going to the bar with some friends from work. He’s totes pumped about a new hockey bar in KC! And, don’t be offended if you think he is shouting at you, because he is, but it's not your fault.
BRO’S THOUGHTS ON THE EXTERIOR AMBIANCE – River Market, businesses nearby, etc.
Dude, I am TOTES STOKED to go to this new place tonight! You have NO IDEA! WORK. F-IN. BLEW. DONKEYS. Just like your mom! AAAAWWW YEEAAA!!!! I TOLD YOU I’D GET YA! But, for real, my bad boss.
The River Market. So busy, so eclectic. Minsky’s. That Mexican place. That Chinese place. That place with the boat from India or whatever. Look at all of that Asian scribble on that building! THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS MADE OF!!! Where else can you turn an abandon ice plant into lofts? NO-WHERES, that’s where. Breathe it in boyz, this is what it’s all about. THIS IS WHY I GRADUATED EARLY, TO EXPERIENCE THIS! THREE YEAS FOR AN ACCOUNTING DEGREE AND I’M NOT EVEN JEWISH!!! AND I STILL HAD TIME TO WORK OUT!!!
And what a view of downtown, baby. LARGEST G-D BUILDING IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI! KANSAS CITY REPRESENT!!!
