Knuckleheads Saloon

Knuckleheads sits at 2715 Rochester Avenue in Kansas City's East Bottoms. The complex operates three dedicated parking lots west of the venue and one to the east. Ask about current parking charges and any arrival arrangements needed for your particular room.

The Saloon is one of four distinct performance areas. Across the street, the Garage accommodates up to 450 seated guests in a hall. The Gospel Lounge seats up to 75. An outdoor stage features a horseshoe upper deck and dance floor. Check the room name and admission terms on your ticket.

Use the ticket description and event seating map to understand the arrangement for your Saloon show. The Garage’s 450-person seated capacity and the Gospel Lounge’s 75 seats refer to different rooms; neither number describes the Saloon. If you need a table or a seat for a medical reason, ask the venue about the specific performance before purchasing.

The standard policy requires guests to be twenty-one or older. Visitors aged ten through twenty may attend when accompanied by a parent or guardian, and children under ten are not permitted unless the event is explicitly advertised as all-ages. Individual shows may override these baseline rules, so confirm the age policy on your ticket or event page before purchasing.

Doors generally open one hour before showtime or at seven in the evening, depending on the show. Soundcheck can delay admission. Use the published door time for your performance rather than assuming every room follows the same evening schedule.

Bags larger than ten by ten inches and all backpacks are prohibited. You may not bring outside food, drinks or even empty water bottles. Lawn furniture, umbrellas, weapons, professional recording equipment and cameras with detachable lenses are also banned. Management reserves the right to adjust these restrictions at any time.

Knuckleheads describes the venue as wheelchair accessible and notes that some ADA-friendly tables are available. Contact 816-483-1456 before purchasing to discuss the Saloon entrance, table position and route that meet your needs. The general accessibility statement does not describe every room or establish particular parking or assistance arrangements.

Food is served in both the Saloon and the Garage, with the same menu. Specific dishes, prices and operating hours change over time, so use the current food page for menu information. The bars accept cash only, though Knuckleheads gift cards work at select bar stations. Credit and debit cards are welcome for ticket purchases, the gift shop and kitchen orders.

Five ATMs are available on the property. Review the machine’s transaction fee and any bank charges before withdrawing cash.

Knuckleheads does not guarantee tickets bought through third-party resale platforms, and directs customers to its own website and box office for official purchases. Direct questions about an existing order to the seller that handled it. Some artists offer VIP packages that do not include concert admission; read package details carefully to avoid surprises at the door.

Lost property is held at the gift shop. Call 816-483-1456 during business hours to check whether your item has been turned in.

The box office opens Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons and evenings, and Sunday afternoons. Hours vary; call ahead, especially for concerts outside the weekly schedule.
