Afterword Tavern & Shelves, a cherished bar and bookstore in Kansas City, Missouri, is set to reopen at 3105 Gillham Road after closing its previous location at 1834 Grand Blvd in January. The establishment, known for its unique blend of literary culture and cocktails, was founded in 2018 by Christian Overgaard and Luke Pitz, who continue to own the business. Manager Kate Hall expressed optimism about the move, stating, "We’re not done," and highlighting the strong community support that has been pivotal for the bar's journey.
