For those living north of the river—or those with a desire to travel north—Colony KC at 312 Armour Road in North Kansas City is a truly inviting brewery, coffee shop, kitchen and music venue with an enthusiastic, friendly staff and a love of all things local. In addition to crafting their own ales in house, they feature rotating Kansas City favorites from Boulevard and Stockyards Brewing Company. Their ever evolving cocktail list features spirits from a number of area distilleries, and yes, the live music is mostly local, too.Â
