Bar K, Kansas City’s beloved dog bar, shut its doors overnight, leaving members and employees reeling. For years, it was the go-to spot for dog lovers to unwind, but rising prices, fewer events, and expansion plans stretched the business thin. Many regulars noticed the vibe changing—higher membership and drink costs pushed people away, and the final blow came with no refunds for prepaid memberships. Employees found out by email and are still waiting on paychecks. With no other dog bars in town, locals are wondering: What’s next for KC’s dog-loving community? How do you feel about the sudden closure? #Food #KansasCity #BarK
