Kansas City's afterward tavern and shelves, that cool bar mixed with the bookstore, shut down early this year, but it's bouncing back with a fresh spot. They're relocating to the Old Brewers Corner location at 3105 Gillam Road. Manager Kate Smith dropped the news, and while no exact opening date is set, the vibes are high for a comeback. The place kicked off back in 2018, founded by Christian Overgard and Luke Pitts, who still own it today. Kate Hall runs the day-to-day, slinging books alongside literary-themed drinks, that made it a local favorite. Fans were gutted when they announced the closure late last year on social media. The original spot at 1834 Grand Boulevard got scooped up by a new owner, pushing a different idea, forcing them out by late January. But the teen stayed optimistic, leaning on their tight-knit community to make relocation happen. Hall called it a matter of the stars of lining, and looks like they did. Now with this new home locked in, afterwards poised to keep the literary nights flowing

strong in Kansas City. That wraps Kansas News Today, brought to you with AI, I'm Corey, with the story.
