Normally, this blog is used for sharing news about The Wertzberger Agency or simply helpful insurance advice. This time though, we thought we'd touch on a topic a little more fun!
In no particular order, we wanted to list the top 5 things to do in Overland Park, KS, when the weekend rolls around and you're looking to have some fun....at least in our opinion because, well, we're the ones writing the blog :) Feel free to add more ideas though!
Picture this: It's Friday night and you're ready to go out...scratch that....let's say it's Saturday night. If you're anything like me, you're a work-a-holic and by the time Friday night rolls around all you want to do is put on your comfy clothes, grab a glass of wine, and catch up on The Real Housewives.
So, it's Saturday night and your better half wants to go out. Well, problem solved! Here are the most fun things to do in Overland Park.
Number 1:
You start your night at Firebirds off 135th. Sit in the bar area with the cool kids; don't get a table. There is a nice fireplace in the bar. You'll love it.
You'll want to get a Black Diamond Pineapple Infused Martini. They are $10/each but worth it. Just get one though because, well, they're $10/each! Split your dinner so you're not lugging around leftovers all night. You're not going to eat them anyways.After dinner, walk next door to Brewtop Pub. They will have a band playing and chances are the band will be covering 90's music. Dance away and get an Uber home.
Number 2:
You like bowling right?! Ya, no one really does, but it is fun in the right atmosphere! That right atmosphere will be at Pinstripes at Prairie Fire. When you get there, pull right up front. Free valet!
Call ahead to get a lane. When you walk in, let the front desk know it is your first time there and ask for the red bracelet. If they still do this, you'll get a red bracelet that is good for a free glass of wine EVERY time you come going forward.You can spend your whole night at Pinstripes as they have a, wife approved, restaurant and bocci-ball courts to play too after you'd eat.
Be sure to have a couple bucks to tip the valet when you'd leave.
Number 3:
If you like your sushi in a darkly lit restaurant with loud music pumping, you'll want to go to RA. Get the Las Vegas roll.
For some upscale bar food, go to Gordon Biersch; just don't get the garlic fries. If your night goes well, those garlic fries could put a damper on things later! Save them for lunch with the guys.If you're looking to spend a few bucks, go to 801 Chophouse but, again, sit in the bar area. Birthdays and Anniversaries are the only exception. Get the noki. It will change your life.
After dinner walk next door to AMC and catch the most recent Jennifer Lawrence movie. You liked Hunger Games, right?!
Number 4:
Top Golf. You know what it is. You know how fun it is. You know there will be a wait. Go, wait, and have fun!
Number 5:
Leave Overland Park! Kansas City is a big city with lots of things to do outside of the Johnson County bubble. Go catch a concert! You can find a list of performing artists in the area HERE.
So there you go! We'd love your feedback on the ideas we missed or totally whiffed at. Feel free to leave comments!
