The Ship - Kansas City

Coolest bar in Kansas City (maybe even all over America), hands down. A few stages with live music, fun drinks, hip vibe and atmosphere, with friendly staff and a variety of crowds. One of my go-toes and a real jewel.

Good food reminds me of back home in NewOrleans the staff was super nice and friendly... I agree

Four of us seniors went to the ship for lunch and were very satisfied with our choice. We thought we'd check it out. The history of The Ship dates back to 1935 after starting miles from the current location where it was used for a scene in Robert Altman's Kansas City. My gumbo was pleasant to my taste buds and my friends enjoyed their red beans and rice and the shrimps po' boy. It was funny that a friend who shaved around the red beans and rice had actually ordered Gumbo while another who had ordered red beans and rice shaved about the food of the Gumbo. It was clearly a new food experience for each of them as it will be for you when you reach a ship through the support of small businesses their goals. All this with a attentive, though small, lunch staff and a large juke box full of NOLA music and a good time awaits your discovery. Have fun.....

I was so excited to see this place because, hello, it looks like you're on a ship! How could you say no? Well, it didn't make it, but 10 feet in the door when the Bouncer said it would cost $10 to come. If the popular jazz clubs in the city are just $5 at the door, and they have live music, there is no way I ever pay $10 to get into a place that blows music over a speaker.

The ship always has good food tasty drinks! Couldn’t tell u the name of the drinks except….they are tasty!Two diff experiences from sitting at the table the serve there vs the bar. Either way, your needs are provided!Haven’t ever been there late enough to hear a band so can’t comment on the entertainment. Cool ambience tho and any time I’m in the bottoms, I will at least stop for a cocktail!Plenty of room for social distance.
