We’ve all been there. You’re too tired + lacking inspiration to chef it up on a Monday night. So you decide you’ll go out, but it seems like everything is closed.
We’re still searching for answers on why much of Kansas City’s food + drink scene shuts down on Monday nights (let us know). But in the meantime, we’ve rounded up a few options of bars and restaurants that are actually open.
