Jim's Alley Bar sits tucked away in an alley on 18th Street between Locust and Cherry, a hole-in-the-wall speakeasy named after James Pagliocco, a WWII veteran and family patriarch. Descend into a cozy basement bar with a North Woods feel where old-style cocktails are made from scratch. The food menu celebrates family roots: Jim's Beef Chicago-style Italian beef, Taylor Ham from New Jersey, and sliders that feel like comfort in sandwich form. Ice-cold Coors Banquet, Hamm's, and local craft beers flow freely. This is unpretentious, homey, and deeply Kansas City: a neighborhood gathering place built on integrity and family values.
