The Peanut is a locally legendary lair of libation. The Peanut's six metro locations are famous for hot wings, cold beer and a comfy-dive atmosphere. But this famous legume's new downtown nighttime nut, the Cashew, is not what many may expect. Gone are the wings and the writing on the wall. The Cashew is a sleeker, more contemporary drinkatorium that hosts happy-hour suits and Crossroad artists. A small menu of sandwiches and soups plays second fiddle to the towering liquor shelf. The Cashew does not technically offer outdoor seating, though large open windows provide a panoramic view of the downtown skyline and front-row views of Grand Street traffic. The Cashew has also embraced train traffic, as ''train shots'' are taken with each passing of the downtown delivery trains. And though they won't give you wings, the Cashew will give you a unique downtown drink spot.

Wonderful Event Space!!!
jilliant80 - 08/08/2009
We actually just had our rehearsal dinner in the 2nd Floor private party room and our wedding reception (230 people) on the 3rd floor of 2000 Grand. The place looked incredible..... we didn't have to worry about doing anything. Our cordinator took care of all the little details I could've possibly been thinking about. The bartenders and the service staff were all friendly, extremely helpful and organized! Great food! Of course, the Kansas City skyline view was the perfect romantic chic look we wanted. We would absolutely recommend having an event here!!

Tom from KC - 07/27/2009Great spot to hang out and people watch. I definitely make sure that all out of town guests experience The Cashew! Always full of attractive staff and customers. Best view of downtown in KC!

PATHETIC VENUE! Perhaps if you're simply drunk & have never partied in better than a barn you might love this hole.
WHEN IN REALITY...
There is NO Airconditioning in the upper floor ballrooms. They say & sell that there is, but it does not function, NEVER HAS! It was 98 degrees on June 27th when they screwed hundreds of clients over with the lies & BS! There was a crew of HVAC techs kicked out about 2 hours before guests arrived so they were not caught afro-engineering some laughing stock of a AC system that very afternoon. THIS VENUE HAS BEEN OPEN FOR MONTHS IF NOT YEARS DOING THIS TO EVENT AFTER EVENT OVER & OVER!!!! THE LIES MUST STOP!!!!
The Video system FAILED when the clients group was to present a crucial heartfelt video & the venue had nothing but more pathetic excuses. They blew all their money on Garage doors instead! lol
The management staff is very very rude, over worked, understaffed, incompetent and just plain pathetic. I wouldn't vomit on their sidewalk the next time I drove by drunk in a cab even if I was a loyal jayhawk fan!
***WARNING!!!! ***TAKE YOUR PRIVATE PARTIES ELSEWHERE!
OBVIOUSLY THIS VENUE CANNOT SUPPORT PRIVATE EVENTS!
SHOULD YOU TAKE THE CHANCE?????????
Furthermore, this venue is NOT handicapped accessable. If I was in a wheelchair I would NOT go upstairs EVER under any *************, you'll just get trapped in the building owners private garage & burn up with his mercedes collectables. It's like Fort Knox getting in & out of that hole. NOT VENDOR FRIENDLY BY ANY STRETCH of the imagination!
GOOD LUCK if you take the risk!Cool Vibe
srp1130cm - 12/27/2008The Cashew has a great vibe when is it slamming on a Friday or Saturday night. They now have a reverse happy hour with 1/2 price beers and some appetizers every night starting at 11:00 pm. Try the hummus.
What a great space for a party!
cmagma8 - 12/23/2008We held our class reunion in the 3rd floor party room of 2000 Grand. I don't think I would have changed a thing. With the garage doors open and the best view of the Kansas City skyline, our party had that urban chic feel. The service very friendly. I would definitely recommend the 3rd floor at 2000 Grand for a party, reception, or reunion.
Overrated
elee1980 - 01/24/2008The bar may have a cool atmosphere in the summer but in January the large garage doors are closed and the lighting is harsh and too bright. All of this could be overlooked if the Cashew had more to offer, unfortunately the drinks are extremely expensive ($5 for a Boulevard beer, the brewery is about 1 mile away and the beer usually cost $3 at other bars) and the food is unremarkable. Chips and salsa included Tostidos from a bag and a 4 ounce serving of jar salsa for the bargain price of 7 bucks. Oh and happy hour ends at 6, that is not a very happy hour to me.
Very Cool
msg666 - 09/02/2006The Cashew is a "don't miss" spot when you are in K.C.. The open air doors gives it a Chicago feel. A classy mix of all types makes it a great place to people watch. If your timing is right, check it out on a "First Friday" (the first Friday of every month) that's when all the galleries in the Crossroads District are open and thousands of people from all over the city are walking around viewing the local art. Like the Peanut, there is not a bad thing on the menu. The Cashew is definitely worth the trip.
