Whether you’re coming from near or far, you’ll discover quickly that between cocktail bars, shopping, nightlife, the art scene and more, Kansas City has everything girls need to have fun. So pack your bags and gather your closest girlfriends—it’s time for a getaway.
Here are some of the best recommendations for a memorable girls weekend in KC:
State of the Art
Kick off the weekend by meeting up with the girls for dinner at Oil on Linen. Located inside Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, you can’t go wrong by dining in either the bright courtyard or art-filled dining room. Afterward, savor the latest exhibits as a post-dinner digestif.
Shop ’Til You Drop
No girls weekend would be complete without some retail therapy. Wander the historic Country Club Plaza for unbeatable outdoor shopping with a view. When it’s time for a break, stop and recharge at T. Loft, which sells fresh-pressed juice and protein balls.
Brunch Time
As the weekend draws to a close, reminisce about the memories you made throughout the trip over brunch. Avenues Bistro, nestled in Kansas City’s charming Brookside neighborhood, anchors a string of independent shops and art galleries. Try one of their signature bottomless breakfast cocktails like pomegranate punch or a “spritzzle me this.” Each entree includes access to the brunch bar, which is stocked with homemade pastries, desserts, seasonal fresh fruit and assorted charcuterie and cheeses.
Take It Home
Looking for something to remember your girls’ getaway? Charlie Hustle on the Country Club Plaza sells the now-iconic Kansas City Heart Tee, a favorite among visitors and locals alike.
