recordBar

Established in 2005, recordBar is a staple of the Kansas City entertainment scene, located in the heart of the vibrant Crossroads Arts District. Originally founded in a modest strip mall, the venue moved to its current Grand Boulevard location in 2016, where it has continued to build a reputation as an intimate, "up-close and personal" space. The room is celebrated for its professional sound engineering and a layout that keeps the focus on the stage, offering a warm and direct experience for fans of live performance. While widely known for its storied music history, recordBar has become a premier destination for comedy in the region. The venue regularly hosts touring headliners and local showcases, serving as a key hub for the annual Fountain City Comedy Fest. Notable comedians such as Rory Scovel, Zach Noe Towers, and Aaron Branch have graced its stage, alongside rising stars and viral sensations like Kyle Gordon. Whether catching a national act or a local showcase, visitors can expect a high-energy atmosphere in one of the city's most respected rooms.
