Blvd Tavern, American restaurant with roof terrace in Kansas City, Missouri.
Blvd Tavern is an American restaurant in Kansas City's Crossroads Art District with a rooftop terrace and contemporary kitchen. The menu draws inspiration from Midwestern, European, and Asian cooking traditions, paired with craft cocktails and carefully selected wines.
The restaurant opened in spring 2023 under the ownership of Chef Derich Carlson and Grace Carlson, emphasizing culinary craftsmanship and hospitality. The building was restored using reclaimed materials sourced from a barn that belonged to the owner's family dating back over a century.
The name refers to its location on a boulevard where it functions as a gathering spot for the neighborhood. People come here to experience cooking that values craftsmanship and brings together flavors from different food traditions.
The restaurant sits in a historic building with exposed brick and takes advantage of the rooftop for outdoor seating. It is helpful to call ahead or reserve online, especially on weekends, as space fills up quickly.
The building houses an old blacksmith oven from the era when the original barn was built in 1902, still visible in a private dining area. This unusual discovery shows how the owners integrated a piece of industrial history into their modern restaurant.
