Big XII Tournament Virgin
- Thread starter Madmaxk
- Start date
I like q39 but others will say differently. Either way im sure youll enjoy some fantastic BBQ. If you like quality cocktails, there is a speakeasy in the basement of Hotel Phillips. Other than that, it’s a madhouse and cyclones will be everywhere. I don’t know of a specific bar and I mostly just hung out at P&L. Have fun, it’s a blast.
Kelly's wednesday night.
power and light for game day festivities

We always go to Kelly's Wednesday night. Then the rest of the weekend in P&L where we reserve a table at a bar for our large group. So worth the price and location.
Power and Light is a lot of fun for the tournament. Q39 is one of my favorite restaurants down here, which is pretty close to Kelly’s in Westport as others have said to do Wednesday nights. Another thing to do if there’s extra time is check out the new Fowling Warehouse that’s off 435 and State Line. Otherwise Top Golf is obviously a safe bet as well.
The Peanut is another good restaurant. KC Joes. Slaps. My wife loves Yard House.

Kansas City is a nice place to meet a girl. Hang in there slugger, we're all pulling for you.
Can’t go wrong with Joes or Q39 for BBQ. P&L will be where all the action is
I don’t think my wife would appreciate that!
What’s the significance of Wednesday night at Kelly’s? With the double bye, we won’t play until Thursday now.
Its a big Iowa State night there. We don't play until thursday but a lot of people come into town on wednesday (i imagine more this year with the tournament starting earlier)
For those of us middle aged and older folks, Kelley's and Westport was THE place to be for the entire week with Kelley's being the predominant ISU bar. It's a right of passage.
It's where ISU fans have gone for decades. It's a staple. It's a must. Wednesday is super fun there too when we aren't playing until Thursday.
Not mentioned yet but if you're willing to drive a bit Lc's BBQ is good the neighborhood is sort of industrial but it's fine. Kc Joe's is another staple. Boulevard Brewing does a nice tour and has a big beer hall reservations suggested for the Boulevard tour if I remember right.
Wife and I will also be first time Big 12 tourney attendees; opted for a less expensive hotel with a 20 minute drive. Looks like there are many options for parking; any suggestion would be appreciated.
We also opted to not buy the all session access, but plan on buying individual session from scalpers or from other attendees that lose in the first two rounds. My thought is that with as poor as Kansas State and Kansas are playing, there will be alot tickets available from their disappointed fans. Any thoughts or advice?

I don’t question Kelly’s. Sounds like that has the THE Cyclone bar for a LONG time. My question was more why Wednesday? I expect it top be packed all week or for at least as long as ISU is playing.
