i hope that he diverted a few hundred bucks from his proposed "tilapia farm" in the basement to hire a licensing attorney, but it doesn't sound like it.

It does seem like an expensive and protracted process. My father, who ran a restaurant and a couple of bars in KC until the late 60's is still bitter to this day about the licensing process.

Stopped by last night for a drink, pretty cool place. They only had some of the taps going, but hey they are open and maybe in a week some food. Can't wait to go back! Nice wine list, the district is starting to come around nicely with the addition of Anton's and Affare.

Just curious... what regulations does the city have on butcher shops? Can you open one anywhere and what oversight is there? It seems that should be regulated more than alcohol.

Pshaw! Eating meat isn't a sin! Or whatever.

from facebook:

After months of hard work we’re happy to report that Wednesday, October 31st, the restaurant will open! Our kitchen staff and servers are ready to go and we’ll use the first few days to fine tune everything. Many thanks to everyone who’s been in this past week to check out the extensive beer list and other bar offerings. The bar will still open at 4pm daily until the 31st. Starting Halloween we’ll assume our normal business hours Sun-Thurs 11am-12am, Fri-Sat 11am-1:30am. We’re eagerly waiting!

Anton's is open. The bar now, food next week.

It's fab. Huge selection for the beer nerd in everyone.

Got the tour last night from a friend who works the bar. Saw the fish tanks and the hydro farm. They're gonna grow their own fish and herbs and lettuce and other stuff.

The patio out back is also very cool with a bar setup and a new brick smoker. Also have a water wall that circulates the water to heat the floor inside. Awesome views of the KPAC, Bartle Hall and downtown. It will be one of the best outdoor patios in town.

I doubt if there's another place like it in town or even the rest of the country.

Beer prices are about the same as Grinders, but with a much bigger selection.

Dug these up for you as well.

Check it out. It's open 7 days a week.

Had great meal and great time sitting at the chef's table. Beef knuckle sandwich was like having a melt in your mouth french dip with the au jus already in the meat. Save room for the pastry chef's creations.

Had dinner on Saturday. Full house with a birthday party of 20 taking up the butcher shop area and the upstairs still not open for 45 days due to city rezoning. Urg! We sat at a hightop in the bar area. Only half the menu was available, mostly salads, steaks, and sandwiches. They did show the other items on the menu and will have to come back. I got the steak and it was good though really peppery and maybe too salty for somes taste. It doesn't come with sides but at $1.50 oz it seemed a good deal. Starter salads were great. Service was a little shaky but it seemed mostly because the servers (and Anton himself) was a little amped up. After months of waiting, how can you blame them? Great atmosphere though I don't really know if the butcher shop will be a hit. For a date with the wife, I'm not sure I'd want to sit staring at sides of beef. Cool story on the menu about the building being the former headquarters of Nabisco. Overall, great place. Will be a rotational regular.

been here a few times now and LOVE it. I only worried I'll never be able to show my face again, as my last visit was for a bachelor party that got a little rowdy. OK, a lot rowdy.

I am pretty sure Nabisco did not have any ties to the KC area but this company did and could have been the HQ for the company.

Shocked they didn't romanticize their history of Daddy's.

Finally went today...great space. Checked out the basement...I can see why it took awhile to get everything done...looks like a mad scientist lab down there.

Excited for the full menu but the burger I had was pretty rockin.

I’ve been twice and really like the space. The first time was just for some drinks, which they do have a great beer selection and the second time was lunch. I had the pork burger, loved it with the country ham, bacon, prosciutto and cheddar. I must admit the “bacon island” sauce didn’t do much for me but the pork burger itself was very juicy and had a ton of flavor.

I’m looking forward to taking my fellow engineers to see how he has harnessed and used the cooling water from the condenser coils and his other many innovations. Next time I'm going to try the Beef knuckle sandwich. Never had one before.

This must have been the weekend to check out the basement. I agree that it is fascinating.

I had the short rib sandwich, and that was the clear winner between it and the pork burger (which was still pretty good). I will definitely be back, and even though I want to try more of the menu, it will be difficult to not order that sandwich again. The fries were fresh made but not really all that interesting. The beer selection is great.
