The Ship is a West Bottoms institution split between a restored 1935 historic lounge and a larger live music venue, offering cocktails and food with live music almost nightly. Originally a downtown KC original that operated for decades before being demolished in 1995, the bar was painstakingly reconstructed from salvaged interior details and relaunched in 2014, maintaining its reputation for welcoming all comers.
