Kansas City's wine bars range from focused natural-wine rooms to restaurant programs with serious lists. Voltaire and the Golden Ox bring wine-forward menus to the West Bottoms, Underdog Wine Co. pours in Crestwood, and Crossroads rooms like Extra Virgin, Novel and Lidia's pair deep cellars with their kitchens.
Golden Ox in Kansas City's West Bottoms opened in 1949 inside the Live Stock Exchange as the birthplace of the KC strip. Led by chef Wes Gartner.
TipThe stockyards-era dining room is the destination; reservations on Tock. Voltaire is the sister wine bar.
