GrindersKC
Where Art, Food & Music Collide

Grinders Pizza & GrindersKC Event Venue were each born out of a passion for live music, the arts, & the belief that art, food, & music cross ALL cultural boundaries, bringing people of all walks of life together for a shared experience.

Grinders’ events have the finest world-class entertainment & touring productions in the world that pair perfectly w/ your cold refreshments & slices of great Grinder’s award-winning New York Style Pizzas, or any of our other famous dishes such as Philly Cheesesteak, Death Wings®, and more.

Envisioned & conceived by an artist & his team, GrindersKC was built to support the burgeoning artists' community, and has been welcoming hungry fans since 2004. This former sculpture garden is now a STRETCHIFIED half-acre urban oasis in the heart of the KC Arts neighborhood featuring a capacity of 3,000 & Kansas City's Best Place to see live music. Period.

We love live music; we love a fun party; & we hope you will join us soon for just that reason.
