The August Closed Restaurant List

Confused about Infused? The space is currently … unused

Infused Restaurant & Bar — the scene of the non-existent “crab leg night” last July — had an interesting concept: The combination restaurant and nightclub in Shawnee had dozens of glass jars filled with liquor that had been infused with fresh fruits or honey or herbs. The food and service, alas, was not so interesting. For the last month or so, this venue’s phone number has been “temporarily disconnected,” so the future of the place remains confused.

It’s no surprise, I suppose, to the many customers who complained to us in Fat City about the dreadful service at the Plaza location of Pizzeria Uno Chicago Grill that the restaurant closed (and is scheduled to become the next location of Blanc Burgers & Bottles); the other Pizzeria Uno locations, in Overland Park and Liberty, Missouri, remain open.

Bell Ringers — whatever the hell that was — didn’t last very long in the old Smokin’ Joe’s Bar-B-Q location at 101 Southwest Boulevard; the building is also reportedly going to become gourmet burger joint.

And the Ameristar Casino’s retro-style Falcon Diner is closed permanently.
