The Ship

If you are looking for a fun atmosphere and good food, The Ship is a great spot! It used to be so hard to get a table on First Friday weekends, but the expansion has really opened it up. I prefer to sit in the old part that feels like your dining in a shop, but the new bar side is open and leaves lots of space for social distancing. The smoked chicken salad is my favorite menu item, but I’ve honestly never had a meal I didn’t enjoy. The staff is always friendly. I would highly recommend.

This place is literally the ANCHOR for the West Bottoms in KC. The atmosphere is great and the Cuban sandwich is killer!! Order it with fries. Sit at the back bar if you can. Good vibes all the way around!

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.

Had a great lunch with the family. This place has a very awesome feel to it. The food was awesome and the staff was very helpful. Definitely will stop in the next time we're in the area.

The Ship is a bar that also serves food in a very old building in a warehouse district that looks ripe for gentrification. The servers were very friendly. I was told by locals that on certain nights they have live music with some impressive performers.

This place has it all. True Kansas City vibe. Run and supported by local artists. Connections, support, & respect with local jazz district and underground music and creative community. I've also seen a variety of bands mixed with cultural/worldly, local/non-local, and KC specialty talent. The music vibe is always super awesome and full of feel-good energy. There is a great dancing space in expanded area on busy nights, both small stage and large stage areas for those touring music curiousities. I've spent many late nights, Mardi Gras celebrations, lunch gatherings, and celebrations here. The staff is friendly but ain'tno fools arrive respectfully. People are usually smiling, vibing, and comfortable within this inclusive venue. It's the full package for entertainment and food. You can dress casual or dress up. They are all there. Saints always welcome.

They never disappoint. Whenever I’m in the area I absolutely have to stop by and grab something. *Update The sausage is super spicy! You will get full because you will have to take plenty of water after taking one bite of the sandwich. But it’s still good. I don’t think I would ever get it again because of the spicy level but again, it was good. My belly is NOT going to like me later.

Have you been to "The Ship"? Go, just go! Try the Blackberry jalapeños margarita, it is one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The Cubano was great! The live music is worth whatever cover! Want a night out in KC, "The Ship" is it!...and the no bake cookie...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, but the sevice is three stars thus my rating. It was really 1 star but I loved everything else especially the saxophone which raised to a 4 star... Features: It is all good!

Atmosphere is wonderful, cozy, eclectic. There's a small band stand, it looked like, and the food is exceptional. The magnificent orange marmalade pie, I believe it is, oh dear. I shared it with a stranger, before I partook of it, of course chocolate was sold out. The attention to the customer was soothing, she was a wonderful seasoned veteran of service and her suggestion of the pie was why I went with it. The chicken sandwich homemade-wow, the fries, the homemade ketchup! If you take children there, they will devour the homemade ketchup & fries.... EVERYTHING was......I'M GOING BACK!

My favorite bar in town. Great food. Cleanest kitchen award winner<b>Food</b>: 5/5
