Less than six months after opening in The Legends at Village West, Cleat’z Sportz Bar and Grill has closed.
Solz Entertainment Complex planned to bring together four different operations in the 16,000-square-foot space at 1867 Village West Parkway, Suite D101, Kansas City, Kan.
The operations were to have opened over three phases this year, all with shoe-themed names with creative spellings — Flip-Flop’z Beach Bash, Spur’z Rock N Saloon, and Stilleto’z, a dueling piano bar/martini bar.
I predicted this before they even opened. Too similar to the other place.
I'm glad this place closed. The sign looked homemade. I hope the Legends gets another sports bar that can compete with Danny's.
r u from JOCO?
really? they r usually crowded esp on the weekends! I drive by almost every nite and its pretty busy...esp with JOCO tags.
I had no idea this place even existed and I work at JC Penney @ the Legends!
I live close to the Legends, it was a decent place, but nobody had ever herd of the place.
They never advertised till a week ago.
I will miss the $1.50 longnecks and wings and the awesome staff.
This is no surprise! The Legends is dying a slow death
This is shocking they didn't succeed! I mean, it looks like they spent Tens of dollars alone on their logo. What went wrong?
exactly how far away from someplace that dosn't suck is this Legends again

BRB asks
Who do I talk to for financial advice that does not involve them trying to sell me something? We are 60 and 59, have a 200,000 annuity, are 60-70,000 credit card debt, have a house that is half paid for,own a condo in fl that is not paying for itself, have a good credit rating, not behind on anything, not facing foreclosure, wife on disability, husband still working, Want to pay off credit cards, but don't know how. Should we use part of annuity? I just want to know who to ask for help. Thanks
It looks like you would be well served by a comprehensive financial plan which would address your concerns and give you a clear picture of where you are at financially. Financial advisors are paid in two different ways. Some receive commissions for the products they sell you. There are also fee only financial planners who work for you for a set fee and sell no products. In their case you know exactly how much it will cost you up front. It would also be preferable to use a financial planner who is a Certified Financial Planner.

The concept was good, but the execution was flawed as far as I could tell. It may have been different when it first opened, but to stay in business a restaurant needs two things - ambience and great food and when I went there, the Cleat'z complex had neither.
