The Ship, Kansas City, MO

Bar/restaurant/music venue located in the West Bottoms district of Kansas City, Missouri. Originally located at 411 East 10th Street in downtown Kansas City, The Ship was a grand lounge opened shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1935, operated as a popular destination for a diverse clientele until November 25, 1995, when it was closed by the city to make room for Ilus Davis Park; however, interior shots can be found in scenes from Robert Altman's 1996 film Kansas City. Most of the original interior was salvaged before the building was finally demolished, then in 2004, Josh Mobley and Bob Asher recovered the items from the basement of a West Bottoms warehouse and began reconstructing The Ship as close to the original details as possible, opening to the public in 2014.
