The Historic West bottoms dates back to the 1860's when it was the Midwestern hub to the Livestock Exchange. Over the years the neighborhood has transformed from the heart of the cattle exchange to an eclectic mixture of different entertainment. Stop by the West Bottoms during the first weekend of every month to check out the warehouses filled with antiques. These warehouses are home to some of the most unique treasures you can find! West Bottoms also hosts the annual Boulevardia Beerfest, car shows, and so much more. In the fall months, some warehouses transform into some of the scariest haunted houses around.

My favorite cocktail lounge in Kansas City. This is a true speak easy. No reservations, you can only come in when the light is green, otherwise you wait on the other side of the door. Cash only location but they do offer an ATM inside.
