A new bar and restaurant is making its Johnson County debut at a growing Merriam corner.
30hop, known for craft beers and “globally-inspired” cuisine, officially opened its doors Wednesday at the Merriam Grand Station development.
30hop opened at 8715 Shawnee Mission Parkway
- The restaurant and bar moved into a newly-constructed space at the growing Merriam Grand Station development, just off Shawnee Mission Parkway and Antioch Road.
- There, 30hop neighbors breakfast eatery HomeGrown, which also recently opened.
- It also joins other new additions to the growing development — soon to include popular burger chain Shake Shack.

30hop serves craft beers and “New American” cuisine
- The restaurant’s menu offers a range of comfort food staples and “globally-inspired” entrees, such as BBQ bacon burgers, Baja fish tacos, Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, and spicy peanut noodle bowls.
- On the bar side, 30hop has more than 90 on-tap draft beers, in addition to wines and house cocktails.
- On the weekends, 30hop also offers a brunch with items like breakfast burritos, tater tot breakfast bowls, and berry french toast.
This marks 30hop’s Johnson County debut
- The Merriam location also serves as the second location in the wider Kansas City metro area.
- The Iowa-based eatery opened a Lee’s Summit, Missouri, location in January.
- In its home state of Iowa, 30hop has three locations, as well as one in Nebraska.
