I was meeting up with my brothers and my Dad for some drinks last
night and I stayed up in town, but I was really quite hungry so I
decided to go and visit somewhere we used to drink in before.
Max’s Kansas City Bar nee, The Twisted Wheel, nee The Rock Garden has
re-opened again after being closed for a couple of months. I only
really knew it as the Twisted Wheel, walls covered in Mod memorabilia
and eclectic mix of music and a fairly good atmosphere. Now the music
memorabilia has gone, the walls are pretty much bare save for the new
wall paper and a couple of oddly placed mirrors and some strange art.
Gone too is the panties on it’s head wearing stuffed bear from the
main window, something which everyone seems to point out. For some
reason the inside seems smaller although it hasn’t changed in
dimensions at all, still the same tables, in the same places and yet,
I can’t quite put my finger on it, it seems more compact. I wondered
last night if it always felt this small.
So starving we went in and I ordered the burger with Alan ordering the
cheese burger, ok priced for what they were. Big home made burgers and
steak chips. You can’t really go wrong with this and if you do, you’ve
messed up somewhere. The burgers were big and beefy coming with a nice
ranch / caesar already applied, and the steak chips were steak chippy
but already salted I think. They could have been coated in something
but it was a bit salty for someone that doesn’t add salt to anything.
Not the worst burgers I’ve ever had in my life, see South Street
burger vans for that… Alan couldn’t finish his and I was tempted to
finish it for him, but I was stuffed after mine and couldn’t eat
another bite.
All in all not bad and now with the Courtyard closed down we might
actually start heading back to the wheel, sorry Max’s.
This task is now 8.82% complete.
