Westport smokehouse with one of the city's largest dog-friendly patios.

Char Bar, in the heart of Westport, is where KC barbecue meets a proper hang — a huge, dog-friendly patio with yard games, a fire pit, and a full bar. The burnt ends and hot chicken headline the menu, but the real pitch is ordering a tray outside with a cold Boulevard. More social scene than smoke-shack pilgrimage, and that's by design.
