Balanca's, Kansas City

The owner/bartender Lori is a real piece of work, and not in a good way! Saying she isn't right in the head would be an understatement. I can't tell you how many times I've seen her lash out at patrons for no apparent reason. If she thinks you're giving her the slightest bit of attitude she'll start shouting obscenities and racial slurs at you and then get physically violent. Avoid Balanca's at all costs!

I went to this bar to meet with some out of town friends with my husband it was our first time going and we will never go back the bartender assaulted my husband, was very verbally abusive and called the police on us when we told her she had no buisness treating patrons of the bar that way because she wasn't having such a goodnight for tips and when we wanted to wait she began throwing full bottles of liquor at us and our guest....she even threw a ladies purse in the trash and cursed her out for no reason...This lady is obviously crazy or on too much medication ...Overall it was not a good experience she mocked the military and when i advised her I was a member of the armed forces (Total Disrespect) We will not be returning and advise any others who are not regular patrons that it is not a safe environment
