Kelly’s Westport Inn: The Heart of Kansas City Nightlife

Every city has one legendary bar. The kind of place where stories start, friendships grow, and the night never really ends. In Kansas City, that place is Kelly’s Westport Inn. Standing tall in its original 1800s building, once owned by Daniel Boone’s grandson, Kelly’s isn’t just a bar - it’s a living piece of Kansas City history. Wagon trains once stopped here before heading west, and today, locals still pack the place for cold beer, live music, and good conversation. Oh, and did we mention it’s haunted? In this episode, Pat Kelly and Dave “Red” Cross share stories of hangovers, high jinks, hauntings, and heart, plus memories of the Grand Old Man (GOM) who gave Kelly’s its name. Whether you love KC nightlife, local lore, or a good ghost story, this episode will make you wish the walls could talk.Full Rights - Music Pro, Artlist License
