The Spotlight on Gram & Dun

Modern Comfort and Craft Cuisine on the Plaza

Located in the heart of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, Gram & Dun blends modern elegance with a relaxed vibe, offering elevated Contemporary American cuisine in a stylish setting. With its sleek interior, buzzing outdoor patio, and a menu crafted for both foodies and casual diners, it’s a go-to pre-show stop for those heading to a nearby concert.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a quick drive or rideshare from key concert venues, Gram & Dun hits the sweet spot for pre-show dining. The service is known for being efficient without feeling rushed, so you can enjoy a great meal and still make it to the opening act. The patio is a favorite spot for people-watching and soaking up the lively Plaza atmosphere, especially on weekend evenings. There's also a thoughtful drink menu and shareable starters that make it easy to dine with a group.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a trendy, social spot to kick off the night
  • Solo travelers craving a good meal and a lively bar scene
  • Couples planning a romantic evening out with live music to follow
  • Fans who want a stylish but casual spot to hype up before the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers – happy hour and brunch deals offer great value

What People Say

Diners rave about the creative takes on comfort food, like the smoked chicken wings and shrimp & grits. The patio is frequently mentioned as one of the best in the city, especially during warmer months. Service gets high marks for being attentive and knowledgeable, and the cocktail program is a hit with pre-show crowds looking to toast the night ahead.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking in the Plaza can be tricky during peak hours, so plan ahead or consider a rideshare. While most find the vibe lively and energetic, if you're looking for a quiet dinner, it might be a bit too bustling before showtime.

The Bottom Line

Stylish, delicious, and just minutes from Kansas City’s top music venues – Gram & Dun is a concert-night win.
