World Cup fans looking to celebrate even later into the night will have more than a dozen bars to choose from in Kansas City, Missouri.
City officials announced Wednesday that they have approved permits for 16 bars to remain open until 5 a.m. during the World Cup.
In early May, city leaders grew wary of taking advantage of a temporary state law allowing establishments to expand operating hours during the tournament.
They eventually reached a compromise, allowing interested establishments in the city’s five entertainment districts — County Club Plaza, Westport, Downtown/Midtown, River Market and 18th and Vine — to submit a safety plan application for review by city and police officials. Establishments must have already had a current liquor license and be in good standing.
Interested establishments had to submit their application by June 8.
The extended hours took effect on Thursday, June 11, and run through Sunday, July 19.
Here’s a list of the establishments:
- Missie B’s, 805 W. 39th St.
- Beckett's, 1701 McGee St.
