I can totally buy most of these stories re: overly sensitive security in P&L, but in the many times I've been I have never had a problem of any type with those guys, or the dress code, or really the lines. I simply don't go in places the have the humongous lines...we did get bottle service at Mosaic one night for a party of 10 or so and walked right in, past the long line and multiple bitching girlies
P&L is at its best on weeknights, IMO, particularly Thursdays, where the scene is still quite lively but it's not "make me hate my life and everyone around me" busy. Of course, that same brand of weekend crowding could just as easily be called "paying down the bonds for KCMO ASAP" busy, as well!
I had a great Wednesday eve last week, starting with happy hour at Bristol with a kickass table on the patio and whole lobsters for all, then moving along to Maker's Mark for a couple of bourbon flights while catching the Royals whipping the Cards, and finally to Angel's, where the actually played some Mindless Self Indulgence and served up wicked strong cocktails, albeit in shitty plastic glasses, and many a drunk girl danced around in the rafters. Also, I rode the bull at PBR. And it was fun, and I'm not afraid to admit that. That night restored my faith in P&L. No lines, good crowds, Royals win, lobster and bourbon. And rock and a bull. Yes.
