Karma is a cycle of cause and effect, where what you do today influences what happens to you tomorrow. The Westport bar Karma, formerly the infamous and short-lived Johnny Dare's, is a surprising example of this Eastern metaphysical law. And an evening of hard-core drinking at this hard-rock lounge will certainly have its Karmic effects. But to enjoy this Westport anomaly, spurn any potential consequences, and enjoy one of Midtown's snazziest bars. Gone are the school-girl-clad waitresses and white-trash chic decor of Johnny Dare's. And though the hard-rock soundtrack is much the same, Karma's classy lounge feel is unlike anything else in Westport. Plush leather booths, burnished walls and shimmering hardwood floors set the mood, while stiff drinks and theatrical lighting set the stage. Karma also serves a full menu for lunch, dinner and late night munchies. And because you should always be cognizant of the consequences of your actions, try one of the burgers, wraps or standard bar appetizers, and help mitigate some of the effects of Karmic consumption.

| Blue Room 1600 E 18th St Kansas City MO, 64108 (816) 474-2929 Google Maps |
 Designed to resemble a nightclub from the 1930s, the Blue Room is a multifaceted exhibit focusing on the Kansas City connection to the evolution of jazz, featuring a wall of fame exhibiting the images of those local musicians that made the Kansas City style swing. Each of the nine tables are in fact display cases of rare artifacts from Kansas City's musical heyday when scores of nightclubs were swinging with sounds of live music. While in the Blue Room, you can view “soundies” from a video jukebox that features performances of jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller and John Coltrane. Although smoking is prohibited in an effort to preserve the artifacts, alcoholic beverages are available at the bar and an appetizer buffet is available during Indigo Hour Friday evenings. Since its opening in September 1997, the Blue Room has become of the liveliest venues in the world with a strong heritage and a key part of sustaining Kansas City's strong jazz heritage. |
