Westport

Located between downtown & the Plaza, Westport is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Kansas City. By the mid-1800s, Westport had grown into an outfitting post for pioneers embarking on the Sante Fe & Oregon Trail. Today, it has a reputation for bustling (& rowdy) nightlife, non-chain bars/restaurants & unique shopping. Westport is dense enough that you're better off hitting your favorite spots on foot.
