They always have awesome music, and the people are really cool. This, the head guy, is a really cool person. Good beer selection, too. If youre braving the chaos that is Westport, dont neglect to stop on by. You wont regret it.

It was a Friday night bout midnight and the place was packed but it was a nice and friendly environment. I came to see my co-worker play with his band. The snacks that you order were cooked fresh to order. Very happy about that.

Coronavirus and over priced drinks made the experience ok. Not a place I will probably go back to.

My wife and I dont go out a whole lot so we didnt really know what to get drinks-wise. Will took time to explain menu items for me and my wife and did an awesome job!We also went to see the Grand Marquis who play there often - it was so fun to listen to - the music was great!!

I absolutely love the Saloon! The service is impeccable. When I visit, its like visiting home. The staff is always smiling, pleasant, and attentive. They remember and recognize newcomers and regulars alike. When Im there, I always feel safe and taken care of. Most nights their isnt a cover (but when there is I never mind paying it). The music is always awesome, seriously amazing. Such a great time... always.

This place is like pure magic. Take a step out of busy westport and be transported into another era. Good live music (no covers pls) each night of the week and cheap drinks!

Nice place to hang your hat with some friends. The music is always honest and the staff are welcoming, quick witted, and on top of drink orders. The blues jams are epic on Tuesdays! If you like country and folk music you MUST wet your whistle here. RIP Chicken N Picking Regulars know what Im talk n about.

I absolutely love this place! We stopped in because the other bars around Westport were packed with passed out young people. This place is where all the cool people chill and listen to music. Loved the vibe, loved the bartenders, and the drinks kept on coming at a nice price. Great spot!

This is the best place to go in KC area! It has its own eclectic mix of music, ambiance, and people! Very comfortable, fun, and packed full of entertainment. You will be hard-pressed to find an establishment better than this. Great people, great music, great staff...I just cannot say enough about all the positive attributes that it brings to KC. By far my favorite!!

This is a great bar! The live music, drink selection, and amazing food keep me coming back. Not many places you can find good, live folk and country music in the city. The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly. You are able to order food from the attached restaurant Eat Me Gourmet. The blackened chicken Mac-and-cheese is a MUST try

Great place for live music, even during the week. Mainly country and blues style music. Always seems to generate a good vibe. Westport was in need of a bar like the Saloon. I definitely recommend checking it out.

I’ve always been hesitant to go in here, but went in randomly on Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised with the live music; “American Slim” was the band. My only complaint is that the music was just a touch too loud for such a small venue by the back bar “about 20ft of depth. Definitely had pain in my ears after I left.

There is always live music without a cover, which is rare for a place that brings in some entertaining performers. Lots whiskey drinks, decent beer selection. The food is really good. The mac n cheese with blackened chicken is a quality late night food option.

Something cool and different. They bring in great musicians, and serve great food. My only suggestion would be to add a juke box customers can use - but only during slow times. We like to go sit in there and have a few beers while the bar isnt busy, and it would be great to be able to play some red dirt, classic outlaw, and roots music while we are just hanging out.

My favorite Westport bar by a Longshot, the best whiskey selection for the price and consistently good music acts. They have good food that you can order through a window attached to the resteraunt next door. Good specials and friendly staff. Bottom line if you like whiskey and live music this is a good place to be.

If your out and about come day or night and wonder...what would be the grooviest place to see, listen and be memorized by local and touring bands? Lol no further, may all your questions be answered with 3 small but powerful words. THE WESTPORT SALOON!! Should be a landmark.

Its a whiskey bar. If you prefer whiskey when you drink it the place to be. It usually has live music on a stage in the back, even on weekdays. And theres no cover.

I have been to the Westport Saloon ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN TIMES. And it was still there. Go ducks.Anyway anyway anyway, good to see. Good to sit in. Nice to be around. Alright.Let me tell you about The Worksport Arena. It has too many seats. But not like you think. In fact, it has has just enough seats. Travis has a big fancy hat that he wears, sometimes its taller that you need. He does a fine thing there. With jokes. Very funny. I cried a lot last year. BUT NOT ONLY THERE.Any Way again, heres my story about the Worstpart Sslad, its good. Real good. Gooder that bad, but still gooder that good. I would raise my child in this bar if Hod would see fit to bless me with a little bundle of lovin.AWay, again again, that story. Once on a time, there was a big scary blob. And it had teeth. And a big eyeball. Like, right there, you could see it, that eyeball, in the center of its eyeball stalk. At the Westport Sallon.I love them. More than I love anything that ever happened. Tralvis gave him such a fancy dish. It had sparkles and when youturned it, it moved. Like it was a special prize for only love.Any Way third, Love You Dad. WAXPORT SALON YOU ARE GOOD. 10/10 BIG BOYS. HERES TOAST FOR BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD MISTER.

The Buffalo Chicken Mac N Cheese is a pretty perfect combination but the rest of my experience was average at best. The smothered fries were definitely not to my liking (I actually sent them back). But all in all a good little spot for a beer or 2.

Hands down the best bar in Westport. Not all fratty hipster. Guessing because the music and culture is not readily accessible for fratastic d-bags. They dont pay people to loop electronic trash all night. They work with talented musicians to provide a genuinely unique experience that is fun and inspiring. Great environment, staff, culture, food, and booze!

A great place for food and drinks. Best happy hour in Westport or Kansas City (youre welcome) Blues bands from across the country perform here regularly. The staff kicks ass. (I dont work here, Ive actually had friends cut off here before and I stayed because I like this bar more than I do them)

Ive been going to this place for over 4 years. Absolutely the best spot in Westport to get love country/bluegrass/red dirt. A gem, really.

Review №82

Best live music spot in kc. Cozy stage, pro sound guys, and more musical talent than a person will know what to do with. One of the only bars in westport that has a pulse. they arent trying to empty your wallet and turn you out. You can come here and have way too good of a time and not break the damn bank in the process. They managed to dodge the oh so familiar fabricated feel most bars in the area have. Its completely gimmick free with a truly amazing staff and an owner who has the biggest damn heart around. plus you dont gotta go searching for food. Theyll get ya set up in house with food so good it should be criminal. So head in, pull up a seat close to the stage, get a shot with a brew, and see for yourself.

Review №92

Am from small town, Deltaville, VA, went in on a slow Sunday night, no live music (yet best place around on a Sun nite), talked with bartender Steve (am pretty sure that was his name), abt my Stout/Porter beer preference, followed his excellent advice re same.Went back on Tues nite, walked up to bar, Steve said, Pete, from Chesapeake Bay, VA, great to see you back, same beer? and I said Of course as he was already serving it up.Made me feel really welcome and, being solo, it immediately created conversation with those around me, as if I was already a regular.That nite the place really hopping, great live music, much like a battle of bands, really enjoyed it. One older fella, senior citizen, like me, looking almost emaciated, frail looking, thinning grey hair, was standing around and I was watching him, a bit concerned, cause of age + appearance.Then one band finished, he went up with another band, got on the keyboards and WOW, he hit a home run, over and over. I could have listened to him all nite. Looks are deceiving. GREAT PLACE!
