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.

The plates at Char Bar live up to KC's reputation for world-class BBQ. Just about everyone you ask will have a different favorite, so it's hard to recommend just one dish. The pulled-pork is tender & flavorful, the chicken wings have just the right amount of smokiness, & the brisket is smoked for 21 hours until it's just right. Despite being marked with a skull & crossbones on the menu, their meat-free options are just as creative & delicious. The "Roots & Fruits" salad is a favorite, with a mix of roasted beats, parsnips, goat cheese, brussels sprouts, pistachios & oranges. During warmer months, the restaurant sprawls out onto their massive beer garden, where you can sip a Boulevard as you toss beanbags or smack around a ping pong or croquet ball.
