About

Sk8bar is a skate shop–meets–live music bar and DIY venue at 209 Westport Road in Kansas City’s Westport district. After operating in St. Joseph, the owners relocated and opened the Kansas City location in September 2024, programming punk, hardcore, goth/industrial, hip?hop, and open?mic nights on a compact back?room stage with pinball and a late?night vibe. Its Westport address puts it steps from a dense strip of bars and restaurants favored by local music fans.
