1. Bar K
There’s happy hour with friends, and then there’s “yappy hour” with furry friends. Bar K is Kansas City’s own bar, restaurant, and dog park combo 🐶If you’d like to visit anytime you want, you’ll have to purchase a membership, but there are also daily passes starting at $10. Oh, and by the way, you don’t have to have a dog to visit. Any dog-lover can stop by (for free, of course). The restaurant menu includes locally sourced food and even hand-made options for your dog! No seriously, you can even buy chicken risotto specially made for canines.
