Cliff's Taphouse is a neighborhood bar and restaurant in Kansas City's Martini Corner, opened in 2021 by Larry Kime, a former manager of the South Plaza institution Nick & Jake's. It took over the former Ollie's Local space at 3044 Gillham Road, leaning on a dozen-plus local taps, scratch American food, and a deliberately inclusive, family-style atmosphere — the name honors a Chicago beat cop who "welcomed all into his world." Though best known for fully-leaded craft beer dinners, the bar keeps a standing, clearly-labeled non-alcoholic section: Athletic Brewing IPA and Hazy IPA, Boulevard Quirk Superfruit N/A, Guinness 0, Heineken 0.0, Paulaner Weizen Radler, and Border Baseline Pale Ale, mostly $6–$7. Several house cocktails — Eva's Bourbon Berry Smash, Bucky's Botanicals, and Chan's Brew — can be made as mocktails on request.
