Late night at the Quaff, where KC's World Cup party goes to 5 a.m. | Hudnall

Late-night at the Quaff in Kansas City centers on a World Cup party that stretches to 5 a.m., extending how long bars can stay open during international matches. Around 2:45 a.m., fans lined up outside the Quaff, an establishment downtown that has operated since 1946, after Austria’s stoppage-time tie with Algeria at Arrowhead ensured both teams advanced. The bar, which operates in an area where many venues with 3 a.m. licenses still shut earlier, is part of a World Cup-only program that adds two extra hours; its World Cup last call is at 5 a.m. The article describes a $10 cover at the door and the event’s appeal for travelers searching for “super late” options.
