70s disco themed dance bar. This is a fun place if you like to dance. They play 70s/80s music. The place is decorated in 70s era. Cover charge of $15 to get in. Cocktail about $10 a cup. There's also a charge for water. People come here to dance and celebrate with friends. Disco ball hanging in ceiling. Neon lights. Dancing cage and platform. No drinks on the floor.

I had never been here before, and didn't look at any Yelp reviews before coming. There was a group of people getting together for an event. I decided to check it out. There is a $15 cover, which seems about par for the course at any sort of late night clubs now days. When I got in the door, I thought that maybe they were having some sort of 70s Disco Theme night, little did I know that this is the theme every night they are open. I had always just thought this was a normal dance club, or had been told a country music club, so it was a bit of a surprise. All in all I had quite a bit of fun. The crowd was lively and really into the Disco scene. The Bartenders and Staff did a great job taking care of everyone and the over all vibe was just sort of refreshing. I would def come back again with the right people. I would assume that its just that much more fun if you dress up.

We took an Uber from our hotel on the Plaza, KC, MO to celebrate a birthday with 4 ladies. We didn't realize how much everyone dressed up for the themed bar. Next time we will be prepared! We really enjoyed all the dance music & décor showing 70-80's styles!
The dance floor always had people showing off their moves, some line dancing & other's getting groovy!
This is a cash only bar with $10 cover charge. They do have an ATM inside.
There's plenty of seats, but most people were up dancing the entire time!
I wish they had something like this in Omaha, NE!!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Mark M.Kansas City, MO05Jan 28, 2024
Had a great time last night. It was packed, everything is CASH! $15 cover charge and $1 to store your coat. Pretty cool place but I don't think the ceiling area has been cleaned since it opened. Not enough air moving to keep cool as the place was PACKED. They never cleaned up all the cups and bottles that I seen, so by the end of the night it looks pretty bad. Everyone has a lot of fun, as did I. They definitely need to update their sound system, CD system skipped all night long. Need to go digital and not too sure about the DJ? Overall a fun experience and I will go back again some time. People had fun dressing up! Beers are around 6 bucks and drinks somewhere around 9! 11:30 They play the song Car Wash and one of those Car wash rollers comes down from the ceiling and bubbles are everywhere....Didn't see that coming. Pretty cool!

I was invited by a friend to celebrate her husbands birthday. I'm so glad I accepted. This was my second rime At FunkyTown. There's no way you can't have fun.
The drinks are pretty expensive to be weak. They run $10 for a oxtail which they pour in a tall glass full of ice and soda with a splash of libations.
They do accept reservations. If you're not there by 9pm, Maniak will give away the table(s). I don't blame her. She was the only floor waitress and she held it down for it to be so crowded.
As of 7.31.21, social distancing was not being enforced. Cover charge is $10. It's easy to spend $30 - $50 if you don't have a limit. They have food on the menu as well.
Have fun!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Jan 26, 2015Previous reviewGet there early. VIP get to go in first and it could take up to 30 minutes. Always have your ID and your cover ready so the line moves faster. They will only allow two people in at one time.
If you do not reserve your seat(s), at least 6 weeks in advance. Most likely you will sit in the back of the club.
The music is awesome and the dance floor stays packed. It's a great place to meet friends to hangout. The drinks are good and the food is worth the price.iJan 25, 2015Previous reviewGet there early.

If you remember the disco years, this is the place for you but be sure to dress the part. Get your funkiest threads on and boogie on down to Funky Town. We had the best time with great music and enjoyed the energy of this place. The decorations are great, black lights, lava lamps and the late night car wash with a giant brush that falls from the ceiling with suds showering the dance floor. So fun!!!
