Let’s face it, the spot to be on game day is undoubtedly GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, but we can’t all score a ticket inside.

  We scoured the streets to put together a list of spots playing the game and serving up their specials wherever the team is. Whether it’s a rambunctious, Kelce kind of crowd or a low-key, family-friendly Mahomes moment you want, we’ve got the watch parties to look out for.

  Sit back and start planning your next outing to don that winning combo of red and yellow. 

  1. Westport Ale House (4128 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO): Tried and true. This bar is regarded as the best place to watch the Chiefs when we’re on a winning streak and seat prices won’t budge. Make reservations now and save yourself the headache!
  2. KC Live! Block (13 Grand Blvd, Kansas City, MO): The home and hub for the Chiefs Game Day Experience. Free admission, stadium eats, local entertainment and a bar for every fan.
  3. Nighthawk (1228 Baltimore Ave, Kansas City, MO): A newcomer to the football scene, this bar in the basement of the Hotel Kansas City is a come-as-you-are, welcome-to-all-crowds joint. For all away games, the combining forces of local host Hartzell Gray and DJ Ashton Martin are sure to make this a fan favorite.
  4. The Peanut (5000 Main St, Kansas City, MO): As Kansas City’s oldest bar and grill since the days of prohibition, with multiple locations across the metro and the best wings in KC, this is always a no-brainer for a last-minute destination everyone can enjoy!
  5. Applebee’s (3404 Rainbow Blvd, Kansas City, KS): Last but certainly not least, this location, in particular, is great for grabbing a 2-for-$25 deal and a perfect margarita. Nestled in a quiet part of town, this Applebee’s is almost always empty, has about 15 flatscreens playing the game and quick service.

   Get out there this fall for football fun in Kansas City. No matter where you watch your favorite team, there’s a place for everyone in Chiefs Kingdom.
