The Ship

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.

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.

I really like this place. Especially when it isn't super packed and you have room to move. Great drinks, love sitting at the bar. Bartenders are cool. Awesome atmosphere. Good menu with tasty food. Just a fun place to be with friends. I like going in the back entrance, even though that parking lot can be pretty treacherous.

We normally love this place so I will give 4 stars, the Restaurant week was a huge bummer. We are lunch regulars and love the Shrimp Po Boy. It was not offered, we were never offered a drink other than water, and the place was very cold. We were also told there was not even firecracker sauce to offer us but when I asked another lady for a dipping sauce she listed firecracker sauce and we got it at the table. We will be back but $20 for a sandwich, fries and a cookie (that we didn't want) with a water is far from a good deal, especially for lunch. Wish the regular menu was offered. I wouldn't that suggest people avoid the place, it is good food, just avoid restaurant week, rip off. Edit: not sure how else you want me to elaborate. I wish you left the normal menu for regular customers. Your restaurant week lunch menu was a huge rip off. I think it cost more than it would have on a regular day. I was polite and left the 4 stars because of last experiences, this experience was a 1 star experience and had it been my first time I certainly never would return. $20 for a thin chicken sandwich and fries with a cookie. Ridiculous!
