3 years ago we invited this guy to the bar. He always seemed to be positive and supporting all things local. We declared it @Joel311Bandit Day at the bar. Tonight he was named the co-host of @homegrownbuzz and we couldn’t be more proud of him. Thank you Joel for making KC great.

At Up-Down, the safety of our guests is always our first priority and for this reason we are choosing not to reopen at this time. We will continue to work on best practices and procedures to ensure the safety of our guests and staff when we return.
