Do Drop Inn is a small neighborhood bar on the east side of downtown Lee’s Summit’s Main Street, occupying a former chiropractic office that owner Justin Bliefnik had bought years earlier. The room leans hard into a 1960s and ’70s corner-tavern look: vintage beer signage, vinyl swivel chairs, classic bar stools, and original memorabilia carried over from the historic Do Drop Inn, including vintage Schlitz advertisements.¹²

The bar sits directly beside Stuey McBrew’s, which Bliefnik also owns, and the two share kitchen facilities. As of opening, Do Drop Inn ran limited hours (Fridays and Saturdays, 4 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.), with plans to expand once food service began.¹

Ownership and history

The name honors the original Do Drop Inn, a downtown Lee’s Summit fixture that operated for roughly 58 years under Sue Pfeiffer’s ownership before closing; that location was at 22 SW 3rd St and is now closed.¹³ Bliefnik sought and received Sue Pfeiffer’s permission before reusing the name for the new bar, and folded in memorabilia from the original to preserve the connection.¹ The revival opened in March 2026.²

Menu

Food service was planned rather than fully live at opening, built around quick, casual items — hot dogs, chopped cheeses, and chopped Italians — prepared through the shared Stuey McBrew’s kitchen. for a confirmed live menu.¹
