GrindersKC
Where Art, Food & Music Collide

Grinders Pizza & GrindersKC Event Venue were each born out of a passion for live music, the arts & the belief that art, food & music cross all cultural boundaries, bringing people of all walks of life together for a shared experience; for a day or night of fun [something about a life changing experience].

Our parties have the finest world-class entertainment & touring productions in the world to go along w/ your cold beers & slices of great Grinder’s award-winning New York Style Pizzas, or our own world-class signature KC Style BBQ.

Envisioned & conceived by an artist & [mention team here] built to support the burgeoning artists' community, we have been welcoming hungry fans since 2004. This former sculpture garden is now a STRETCHIFIED half-acre urban oasis in the heart of the KC Arts neighborhood featuring a capacity of 3000 & Kansas City's Best Place to see live music. Period.

We just love live music; we love a party; & we hope you will join us soon for just that reason.
