Exciting News for Kansas City: A New Bar is Coming to the Garment District!
This spring, Kansas City’s bustling Garment District is set to welcome a vibrant new spot called Something Good. This freshly minted neighborhood bar promises to be an ideal gathering place for friends, young professionals, and local residents looking to enjoy a relaxed evening out. Taking up residence in the newly renovated Carnival Building at 802 Broadway, Something Good is sure to make waves.
A Fresh Concept in the Heart of the City
Owner Greta Gunderson, who is well known for her success with the Son of a Gun bar in Columbia, aims to deliver an experience that feels both homey and exciting. Instead of being just another run-of-the-mill restaurant, Something Good is being billed as an “elevated dive bar” or “neighborhood lounge”. The concept focuses on offering comfort food and classic cocktails in a chill atmosphere.
Food and Drink: Comfort Meets Creativity
When it comes to munchies and sips, guests can expect a limited menu that boasts items designed for the casual diner. Think classic hot dogs, tasty sandwiches, and delectable dips that harken back to simpler times, alongside some unexpected twists like potato chips served alongside caviar. It’s quirky, it’s fun, and it’s definitely delicious!
Now, let’s talk drinks. The bar’s cocktail list will feature two main categories: “Something Classic” and “Something New”. The first will deliver those beloved traditional cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, while the second includes accessible options for those who might be newer to the cocktail scene. The goal? Offer “comfort cocktails” that bring joy without the stress of complicated ingredients!
A Space Designed for Community
With a cozy layout featuring around 30 seats, Something Good breaks the mold of traditional bar spaces. Guests will find a variety of tables, plush leather couches, and even a pool table—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Not to mention, there will be a couple of televisions for those who want to catch the game while sipping on a drink with friends.
Hours and Open Date
Gunderson is targeting a potential opening in mid-May 2025. Once the doors swing open, guests can look forward to an inviting ambiance every day of the week from 4 p.m. to midnight. If you’re a night owl, mark your calendar for Fridays and Saturdays, when hours will extend to 1:30 a.m.—an excellent way to kick off your weekend!
Serving the Neighborhood
Something Good is not just a watering hole; it’s a community hub that aims to connect with local residents and professionals working nearby. With the renovation of the Carnival Building—reportedly over $10 million—which includes the new Harvey Dutton Lofts, the area is buzzing with potential. If the success of local neighborhood lounges is anything to go by, Gunderson has every reason to be optimistic about the future of Something Good.
Join the Fun!
As anticipation builds, the local community is eager to see how Something Good will take shape. The vision of a friendly bar where friends can gather and enjoy delicious drinks and snacks sounds like a delightful addition to the Kansas City scene. So, make sure to keep an eye out this spring and get ready for a fantastic new place to hang out!
